Well japanese planes are by far the easiest planes to fly in WT. I can fuck up everything in a dogfight and still come out on top whenever I play Japan. Takes almost no skill whatsoever. But yeah, they aren't invincible though...
@@Jaeger_89 honestly just because enemy try to turnfight you anyway. One player with a brain that BNZs you and you wont even have a chance to fuck up shit lol
Japan has it's weakness in the fact it cannot disengage from a fight unlike other nations which can extend away when things get hairy... I don't like that about Japan (not my style). But Bruh the turn circle on the zero is complete BS.. imma bout to post some classified docs real quick to prove my point lol
That music was pretty fitting for this masterful aerial defense dance. Side note gaijin make AI gunners great again for all of us who back in 1.37 sunk a ton of crew points into them. They don't even have to hit the plane. Make them inaccurate, just let them fire at their historical 1km out not this .21km bs fully upgraded. Enough to deter a fighter and if he stays on your 6 slowly get more accurate. That or refund all my crew points from gunners
I was playing my IL 2M 1943 earlier to kill 80 ground targets for my task and I could barely get a single pass done before getting swarmed by like 3+ fighters . A lot of the time they would head on me and I’d get a kill or two, but dang can they just leave me alone? 😂
Also, sometimes, he'll MOST OF THE TIMES it's your own fault....I used to think like the way you do and blame them for my mistakes...most of the time YOU put yourself in those situations!!! Next time you get clapped by 2 or 3 enemies or get killed by an enemy you didn't see watch the replay of him and you and you'll notice about 1-4 minutes before you got killed YOU actually put yourself into the position to be killed!!!! After I stopped thinking like that and watched my play I realized realized I was doing wrong and now it dont matter what the allies do I separate enemies so I don't 1v3 them....most of the time it's YOU tho and you made a mistake wayyyy before you got killed that gave the enemy the upper hand....most of it is also situational awareness....don't be afraid to turn around lol don't go into a 1v2 on their terms make them chase you mosy of the time when an enemy gets on your 6 they get nervous they want the kill they start making mistakes and start rushing shots and thats when you can make your reversal....defensively flying is most deff the best offense!!!!

@@rgates159 Actually kind of is. More lift=less speed needed for optimal flight and handling(for the most part). That's part of the reason most early planes were bi or tri winged.

You're probably used to people coddling you and telling you your the best at everything you do lmao 🤣
@@starfighter1043 im the best player ever im so good i have a mig 420 and i killed everyone in the first 20 seconds i bet i could beat you with my eyes closed and only bombs
to be fair, that plane is at the br it is at because it doesn't have guns, it is about twice as agile as anything you were playing against so anyone with half a brain could use it to dodge the daylight out of the enemy. that being said, staying alive for 9 minutes with such a large amount of enemies on you is quite impressive. gj,
It being maneuverable doesnt justify the br to me... Ki-21 can outmaneuver everything, and is at 1.7, has more gunners, more bombs and maneuverability than B6N. If this plane had a single 20mm in the front or at least a 12.7, I could take the 2.3. But in that state, it's not worth more than 1.7 to me.
This is genuinely one of the absolute best war Thunder videos I have ever seen Smigol! I mean I love all of your defensive flying videos but this was just on a whole different level. Have you ever done a tutorial video on defensive flying bc I’d study that thing more exhaustively and completely than I ever have for anything in my university classes! :D
I dont think there's a way to teach defensive flying really. First you need to feel comfortable using ailerons, elevator, rudder, throttle and flaps all at once. And then it's all about feeling the situation. At this point I dont analize if my enemy is fast or slow or has a better position. I just do things. It's all about practice
The fun part about air RB for me isn't getting the kills, it's having these kinds of fights with players. Just doing reversals and dodging enemy fighters, sometimes even getting maneuver kills is what's fun for me.
Smig, it's H8K time with 20mms everywhere... unless you've already spaded it😂 Oh and that was epic lmao, Air RB never changes. I carried a match last night and for split second I felt like I had your powers but then I remembered I'm a yobo from Australia 😆
You should bind keys for gunner and external cams, it may help switch between them faster. Way back then I set both to R and it would toggle between the two, until Gaijin did something that it no longer works ;_;.
Tbh I'm fine with how I switch the views. What the issue here was is that I wouldn't do much with 7.7mm gunners anyway, so I didnt even bother to try most of the time.
well done smigol. If this was Squid Game and the objective was to survive for 9 minutes you would have passed. xD the reason I mentioned Squid Game is because they used this exact song in the show :P Good show good work this is probably your most impressive display of defensive flying. I think you should team up with jengar and defyn since you all have excellent defensive flying.
It's all fun and games until you realize Gaijin removed the points for staying close to enemies, making this 9 minute furball absolutely useless. Feels bad man. Sorry Smigga.
I played this planes family like 2 months ago only just because they got pretty neat and nice looking bomb configuration 😂😂 but dang she offer more than that 🐧 Good fly as always Smigol 🐧🐧
I saw the title, I hit play, I saw the situation, THEN I looked at the length… holy fuck I sprained my back just thinking about how this is going to go, damn!
just had one of these situations flying out the vk107 for the first time. whole team died to fch in the first 5min, myself left 1v4 vs an LF mkIX, a J7W, an N1K and an F2G. just kept doing these ones, got the f2g, drove off the N1k, baited the LF into aaa .... and the J7W just went to groundpound while i reloaded. Lost to tickets...because apparently this is just a pve game
When the fight is so long you can basically use the entire song...
9 min dog fight against a majority of the enemy team and the first time you take damage is around the 8 min mark wow
Skill of new mig-15 player who misses all bullets then dogfight till the end
hey nice fluffy hair
much more effective than what i was doing, which was getting on their tails and typing "bang" in chat

This game has forced me to get good at defense flying because my team always just chases a single low flying attacker.
dude fr, they all just leave a handful of us to fight everyone up high and chase a low A20 which is obvious bait

@@smigoltime Should be 1.3 or 1.0, as since it can't kill planes and barely has bombs, it can barely get any rp.
Its at the br it is because gaijin feels it must be at a higher br then its predecessors
This brings back memories of getting many maneuver kills with the B5N2...canyon flying vs US teams was so fun.
Ah yes
Imagine if smigol's gunners actually fired at the enemy aircraft 😱

theyve become so rare as well, but its the only thing that keeps me playing. sure a 6k is nice and all but these? these are what i hunt for
One that one map I play with a sabre is always a case look at my recent video it was so fun
If only IJN pilots were as good as smigol, battle of leyte gulf wouldn’t have been referred as Mariana turkey shoot
The B6 with the 13 is really fun. It’s a very good gun, but can be tricky to use due to the blindspots seemingly being slightly bugged
I swear this is how 80% of my attacker matches go.
If this or the Arado B had even a single 7.92mm I would have hundreds of kills.
And I felt accomplished dodging two planes in a fighter trying to rtb for like 30 seconds today lmao
If contrails lasted as long as they do in real life, put simple their would be a master piece made of cloud.
I can already tell what’s going to happen by the title
Objective: Survive
love how you juggled half their team the entire game, yet your team was vaporized immediately anyway. classic war thunder.
It was satisfying to watch you dance between the enemy bullets for 9 minutes straight
I'd refer to this situation as a clown car, you being the car and all the people trying (and failing) to hit you being the clowns
The enemy team for 9 minutes straight: LOST CONTROL
BR 2.3 pilots not turn fight challenge (impossible)
Problem is this challenge is getting very hard to accomplish even as far as 9.0
the fact that the first guy to damage you was the f4f that came in at 8:00 is the best part imo
Fun fact, I just recently did the exact same with the third Tenzan. The 13mm in the back really helped.
the swanlake music is so fitting
Beautiful, perhaps the most majestic thing I have seen all year
absolutely humiliated them smigol, like watching Usain Bolt have a race against someone with no legs.
I seriously don’t understand how you survived so long
I don't know what i like more, when in a head on with A-8 I score only hits, or when i face full team alone.
Smig, it's H8K time with 20mms everywhere... unless you've already spaded it😂

2 enemies crashed onto each other before any damage was put onto your aircraft xdddd
I always try to do the same you do in the videos and fail terribly, cant wait to test this one
When you use the wrong formula and get the right answer
This is sad, inspirational, and infuriating to watch.
It was extremely relaxing, I think. Good enough for a bedtime video. Peace Thunder.
I sometimes wonder if RB would have been more interesting without third person view. Wit the instructor, but only cockpit/gunner/commander view.
