Love your videos dude. And I gotta say I am excited to watch the missile video you mentioned you're gonna be making. I would also really like to see a video on radars (how to use them and what they are) as well. I'm getting into the territory of radar missiles and I don't really understand them. Merry Christmas!
Thank you for all your hard work and posts. Greatly appreciated. All the very best for 2023, hopefully we can provide a better quality of opposition when we eventually get to your level. Cheers boss.
I mainly use it as a rusher. I throw on periodic flares, rush low, then loop around. I use the aim 9L in any head ons. Most radar locks end up hitting the periodic flares and that’s about it. The engine is not as hot that you can one flare most things. I wouldn’t furball with it but rather clean up furballs.
What Gaijin should have done is instead adding JA37D is give JA37C Aim-9L and countermeasures pods like it had and insted of adding JA37D give Sweden JAS39A Grippen (pre-seties) and limit it to aim-9L and bombs. Boom much better update for Sweden. Able to compete with Mig-29 and F-16 and not just copy and paste JA37C with its proper load out.
I tend to stay in props but I am a big fan of the Viggen. The early Swedish grind though is painful. Really the only jet I actually want is the F-8 Crusader, because it's probably my favorite, but even then I'm not in a super hurry to grind up to it. Good fighting, Merry Christmas!
for the radar I recommend setting the distance to 100km, the viggen can detect ppl from like 60km, and I have even gotten good radar locks within 50km+
@@einar8019 I don't know why some planes get screwed in the chaff and flares department. At the moment, I'm having a much better time in the harrier GR7, it gets access to 4 all aspect missiles, can still carry 5 1000 pound bombs (enough to level a base) and gets 360 chaff and flares, which at high tier is important due to the mass missile spam. Yet for some reason the tornado gets 70 C&F, which it has to carry in wing pods that add weight and drag. Apex predator my ***. Hopefully Gaijin will re balance it for many of the current planes getting the short stick.
Hi defyn, im not sure if you’ll see this, but I’ve been watching you since I first started playing WT In late 2019, and it’s amazing to see not just how your channel has grown but you have grown too. I remember I used to think of you as a great WT player. And now I see you as an even better player, but also a confident and funny and relatable content creator. You’ve really became a great influence who most definitely brightens people’s days while making them jealous of your skill at the same time!!! Keep it up :)
Defyn, what is your take on what Gaijin did to the "New Boosters" hydraulic module for most tier 8 jets? Over 250km/h max aileron deflection speed lost without the boosters (vs about 70km/h for tier 7 jets). Its a pain for the stock grind since you really cant roll without the boosters.
Seems it is more the ammo that is superb than the gun...It fires a shell that is more than 50% heavier than NATO Standard 30mm, more along the lines of the size of what the GAU-8 fires...
Can you go back over the British Phantoms at some point? Good example of powercreep, with their now even harder nerfed Skyflashes and 9Gs only. Alternatively, insert a hot take below:
Viggen with a 125 kN engine you would think that it would accelerate better than the F-16A that only has 106.0 kN, The viggen does weigh 930kg more tho empty than the F-16C (might be more compared to the A)
Hey DEFYN, I'd like to suggest you to make some sort of a series of video, not very long ones, where you revisit older top-tier jets like MiG-23MLD, Mirage 2000, Phantoms, F-14 and a couple of other. I know, some of them (J-7E, F-14) got their own video not that much time ago, but nevertheless, I think the changes Apex Predators brought are quite big, not just new planes, but radar tweaks as well. And so we might need a new videos. If there's nothing to tell about, it can be a shortcut with a couple of words about the plane remaining good or being shit. Or it might be some sort of a compilation video with short parts about every.
Thats the only thing is missing is good radar missiles and is radar gunsight, with the ability to carry 4 aim120 it will definitely be much more competitive
Merry Christmas everyone. I don't own this this thing or play Sweden at all but I think it's kind of stupid that you don't get some sort of tracer in this ammo. I think it's unfair to people playing this: they might be able do get the perfect position on you but you still have a very good chance of getting away thanks to the fact they basically have no clue where their rounds are going.

Het probleem met War Thunder is dat de balans totaal zoek is en Gaijin alleen maar nieuwe voer/vliegtuigen toevoegd zonder de gameplay te verbeteren. Een beter uitgewerkte enduring confrontation in RB of SIM zou in mijn ogen al een hele verbetering zijn. Maar helaas, Gaijin zal steeds nieuwe voertuigen toevoegen die weer beter zijn dan de vorige update zodat iedereen investeren in het spel. Als je kijkt naar hoe het spel is opgebouwd lijkt dat bijna wel aanspraak te doen op iets van een gokverslaving. Met de lootboxes, de rp, SL waarbij je steeds een beetje krijgt.
The first f-16 ADF for america is not end of line and also more modifications at each modification tier, the cheaper they are as the RP cost is divided. JA37D has fewer and is end of line, hence why its so much
Defyn, tell Gaijin to upgrade the J37D's sky flashes to at least the 'sky flash temp' that the 11.3 Tornado has, at MINIMUM. Stop making Sweden suffer.......

These have been true facts about the Viggen.
The real issue is US team which dominating with f14 and now f16 joined them, I'm playing Chinese f16 and even if i make -5 we still loosing bcz all my teammates dead, 8 of 10 games US team winning, and this is really painfull and sad
I was thinking about asking for unban in discord until i downloaded update and realised my fps can't be higher than 15 so i quit war thunder for now. Maybe i will never return :'(
"fires pretty quickly" - sorry but that's a hard disagree for me. The viggen gun is like 1300rpm that's like less than 1/5 of the Vulcan and 1/3 of the gsh waterpistol. And it leaves huge gaps in sprays for enemies to fly through because of that.

Forget the f22 dropping a “Be the Best” to block a blind hunt is real stealth
Someone call the pentagon 4:00
The ja37d has the same camo as the ja37c black knight ?
just got into top tier the notching/ dodging missiles video would be dope
Do you have a controls video? What’s your set up?
Please a video on countering radar missiles would be amazing
Seems it is more the ammo that is superb than the gun...It fires a shell that is more than 50% heavier than NATO Standard 30mm, more along the lines of the size of what the GAU-8 fires...
its the same caliber as the gau-8, though they use different primers
The JA37D seems a tad understated.
We need bushes on aircraft now. The Viggen is too inaccurate without them
merry christmas mr defyn
Wish they do something to fix prop AAA as well, whether they do it accidentally or intentionally.
A good plane to review would be the J6K1 #17 (full reversal fun machine)
were did all the flairs go
