Others may find your consistent content boring. But for me, it says one thing: your narration is 100% proof that you'd be one helluva good news reporter xD Nah but seriously, thanks for all the content! Gameplay, learning, and dry humor all in one is great.
yeah they are awful :D i spaded the plane for tank rb, expecting high of it (at least to do better then a plane with 2 bombs), to only find out, that its almost unuseable :D even if you hit, the post pen damage is a diceroll.
Whenever I need an opinion on WT this is the first place I go to, the gameplay fundamentals are just so consistently solid in a way that no other TH-camr can match Also, you should do another Oddbaws collab, the last one was great
I was about to say that’s how I discovered Defyn was from that Oddbaws collaboration and since I enjoy airplanes more in WT, Defyn is my go to to learn more.
Found ur channel about a year ago, and I can honestly say, that you are my favourite WT cc atm. The way you deliver your narration is a huge part of the charm of your vids. Your guides are in-depth and extremely informative to a degree often better than the official wiki. I've even managed to get a friend or two to start playing by showing them some of your videos. You've helped me massively with my own skill issue, and for that I cannot thank you enough. Please always remember to look after yourself and your needs, the community values you a lot, and that means we value your well being above all. Life can be rough, taking a break is always okay. P.S. While writing this, I was AFK flying back to base on Afghanistan EC. I glance back at the game to find my plane on fire and undergoing rapid unscheduled disassembly, hurdling towards the ground at march 1. Definitely still got that skill issue XD.
What a pleasant video Defyn, thanks for the positive message, and wish you the best. A bit scary to hear the accident actually happened that way, burnout is real and sleep is a godsend.
Hey Defyn, I don't comment often on here but I just want you to know that you're one of my favorite youtubers overall and that I'm grateful that you keep uploading to this day, as your vids are completely part of my life lol. Happy that you're feeling somewhat better about yourself and congrats on the (nearly) 100k!
I agree with this 100%. All of the other TH-camrs I watch always felt out of touch. As if they just have all this time and money. But you made me feel different, you always just seemed to be a neche that I never thought I would get into and that your just another one of the “big TH-camrs” but the more I watch you and learn about war thunder through you. You have made me so happy so many times and I can never wait for a new video. Not everyone gets a huge financial start or has all the time in the world and you have shown me that. I love you man and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and week
And please know that we as a community are here for you no matter what. We arnt here for the fame or glory we’re here because you are probably the one who got us into actually paying attention in air battles or just wt in general. You are the more genuine and hilarious human on this platform and I can’t wait to see how you grow in the future
Been subbed to this channel for a few years now, It's been so great to watch your content develop and your video styles change and I'm really glad to hear that throughout this process you've gained a bit of self confidence. Seems nice that someone who gives so much to his community gets something back from doing it Kudos
It's amazing to watch your channel grow and get the recognition you deserve. From the early days when you were super quiet and played music during your videos to when you got your first microphone upgrade and started feeling more comfortable making jokes. I'm not 100% sure when I first started watching but your napalmratte was the earliest video I can remember watching when it came out. Thanks to you, I've become a decent pilot and now know for the most part what to do in most situations I find myself in and I can't thank you enough for helping me. You've even answered my questions on your discord whenever I have issues or don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
It's shit like this that I enjoy your content it seems. I had recently taken time off work due to my mental health. I was to the point I was to the point that I felt like my only way out was to just end it all. Unfortunately I don't feel as if 2 weeks was enough time to figure my shit out. I relate to basically everything you said apart from owning a motorcycle. I too can have a massive ego and criticize everything (albeit im not as good as you) but that extends to myself more than anything. Your content just feels right for someone like me and i domt miss an upload even every goddamn sale guide I watch already knowing how I'm going to spend my cash. It's just great unfiltered content with a lot of substance and things to learn even when critiquing someones misplays. Im more than happy I was introduced to the channel from your first oddbawz collab and I fell in love with planes even more since I've been around. Im glad you are still on this side of the ground and prioritizing yourself more. We might not like ourselves that much or have a high opinion but maybe one day we will learn something in life to change that. Much love Defyn.
Didnt get notified for this it seems thag superthanks go into a different notification tab sorry for that 😭 Thanks for the support and the words Hope you're doing well 🫡
Love every video you put out, high tier or low tier, for your insight on aerial combat, dry and out of pocket humor, and editing. Your consistent narration and tone is perfect for helping me relax no matter what the subject is, I watch every one. Everyone else here has said it better than I could. Love the new mugs, it's a perfect feature for the artwork and a nice big size for slurping that skill issue.
I have been watching your videos for the past couple of months and I can confidently say that as guy who hated air rb and prefered to play ground, your guides and your videos have been a great help at finally understanding how to control my planes
I absolutely love all your videos and really enjoy watching every single one of them. They always cheer me up when I'm feeling down or had a bad day. Just got your Skill Issue mug today in the mail and absolutely love it. Thank you for all the content you are producing
For the first 2 or 3 years that I've played WT, I was basically a free kill for anyone who encountered me. I would only stick to arcade and stuck to that until the time of the F-4c. I finally started playing realistic but was still really bad at the game. Thanks to you and some random German dude who was autistically obsessed with the Bf-109 G-6, I have been able to fully grind out half the trees in the game and maintain a positive KD. Ik that there may have been some parasocial relation ship formed but still, watching your content has helped me out through some hard times by providing some sense of normalcy and stability in what I watch and experience as I moved out of my mom's house in New York and started college in Tennessee. I thank you alot for the entertainment and skill boost that you've provided me over the last 2-3 years that I've watched your videos and wish you the best of luck beyond 100k subscribers! Thank you alot for what you do
LOOOOOOOOONG time lurker, love your content , you are THE opinion on this game to me and many i know. keep the chin up bud! I truly hope you can make this work for you full time. We all deserve to be happy.
I'm happy so see that you do ok now, and that you gain popularity and $. Seeing that an actual high quality WT youtuber is succeeding isn't common, but when that happens it feels great.
I genuinely suck at air RB and your videos have provided a fun and entertaining way for me to pick up those skills and enjoy the game mode more I don't get big kill counts. Maybe 2/3 per battle. But your videos have massively improved my enjoyment of the game mode - I understand what's going on and can appreciate skilled players more. And that's a sign of a valuable content creator. Perhaps you're not as distinguished as other creators, but you are valuable to the air RB community.
I just want to say that whenever I don't feel good about myself or whenever I feel down I just turn on one of you videos and they always cheer me up. Thank you, keep it up.
I don’t remember how long I’ve been subbed, but I’ve been watching for 3 or 4 years now. I remember when you did a Q and A and mentioned you weren’t going to continue doing TH-cam; I also remember the day you announced that you were going full-time. While I can’t support you with money, I can honestly say that I felt genuinely proud of you when that day came. Hearing that news made my week, the same happened when you got your first sponsor. We are similar in age but I felt like a proud dad! I love you man, keep it up! Also I have been on TH-cam for over a decade and this is my second or third ever comment for what it’s worth.
You strike an amazing balance of informative and entertaining, a level that I don’t see with a lot of other WT creators. Even as someone who has been playing the game for about 6 years and doesn’t play air RB(I honestly just don’t have the skill or patience for it), I still watch your videos all the time. Be it for entertainment or to figure out a lower tier aircraft I’m interested in playing. I’m never left with a basic impression of a plane I could’ve made myself. Instead I’m left with an incredibly detailed explanation of how the aircraft should be played and managed, and witty commentary to laugh with! Thank you for all of the incredible videos, Defyn!
Thank you for all the content man. You inspired me to pick up War Thunder and your videos have been instrumental in teaching me how to play the game. Keep up the great work!
I started playing WT about half a year ago only playing ground. Found your videos shortly after and you got me into Air RB. Your great videos gave me the confidence and fundamentals to start playing Air RB. You and Odd are the only two WT TH-camrs I consistently watch. Love your educational angle in every video and dry humor!
The out of pocket narration makes your videos so much better. Please don’t let that go. I don’t always comment but I do enjoy watching all of your videos.
I never comment but something I wanted to add is that I'm glad you could get this far man, your videos have been always good and consistent and they are so useful to the point of reference for the ones who enjoy this old "plane game" (or what it used to be)
This channel is the only reason im good at air rb and dont full commit headon everyone, these vids are great. Even now with a ton of experience i keep learning stuff from them. Thanks a lot
Ah Defyn. Hearing all this makes me want to give you a hug, honestly. Then I remember how much it would cost me to go to the netherlands and I quickly abandon these ideas but I still hope you can feel loved. You taught me so much that I am pretty much a veteran at this point. I am close to completing my second air tree and can confidently say that I am not too shabby at this point. I have you to thank for that, so maybe if my financial situation looks up, you can count me as one of your patrons.
MASSIVE THANK YOU to you DEFYN you are the best keep going. you taught so much about all of those stuff. I'm really REALLY greatful of what you are doing.
You are calm and honest, and your mostly on topic. in the topic you are not always right, but always competent. All of that paired with dry humour. for me that makes your channel way more enjoyable to watch, then any drama/hype series. So as a watcher for several years: thx for making da videos :)
@@DEFYN one needs to ramble, when playing an uninteresting plane for the viewers. just dont make the mistake jengar made, with starting to make the channel political (with questionable assertions^^). At some point he had more subscribers then you, and growed faster, but then he started politicising, and his growth stopped (and i unsubbed him^^)
Love your work! Everytime I unlock a new plane, i watch your vid. about it in order to know a bit more about that plane. You helped me progress a lot over the last year with your vids. Keep it up!
This is hands down the best channel for learning this game. I started playing 2 weeks ago, and I’d have absolutely no idea how to begin to get an advantage on someone by myself. Nobody else has these mid-match breakdowns of the fight that make as much sense as yours. Truly great work man.❤
I've been binging your content for about a week now. Love it and your inability to mince words is really awesome to hear coming from a new player like myself. It really shows me what I have to improve on and where I can go.
Congrats on nearing 100k dude, wish you the best of luck with reaching 1m. Your videos have really helped me out with playing this game in general, once again I wish you the best of luck dude.
Happy to hear you're doing better, without a doubt you're one of my favorite youtubers and have become a daily thing for me. To be honest I've been burnt out myself and was planning on changing my work schedule today because of that. So it's kind of funny that you mention this stuff today as well
This is my go to War Thunder channel, and watching your videos has really helped me with the game. Love your videos. Btw this kind video of reminded me of that F-86 video you made a few years back. I’m glad to see that you’re still improving and working on yourself.
right around the time i start watching your videos, my life starts taking better turns and things have gotten better. No idea how that correlates but its very nice to get excited when I see that defyn posted a new video. A little spice to life. Cheers.
only found your channel about a couple weeks ago but i really love your content bro, top tier videos. It shows u care about the community and they care for you too !
I used to play WT quite a bit but just due to not many of my IRL friends wanting to play it and i also just get tired of the grind... That being said, I still check every single day for your uploads and i enjoy listening/watching them while i work. I think your knowledge is just so insanely good, you have very nice narration skills and know how to get a laugh out of me in all of your content. Thank you so much for your videos. I cannot say I am a depressed person, and im not really sure I have ever been there (not a boast, rather I don't think its fair to lie about serious conditions and take away from those who do), but It makes me so happy to see a person such as yourself helping others in similar situations. Men suffer in silence. We have this idea that we have to be strong and negate our feelings, but they are real and present. Its important to support ALL people struggling. Please don't let the status quo hold you guys back. We ALL deserve happiness. Thanks again DEFYN.
I love you and aslong as I will play this game, you'll be my number 1 TH-camr. Massive thanks for you to put that much effort into your videos and keep on the way that you're doing.I think that you're a great person and you deserve really well. You design your videos really nicely so it doesnt get boring, just love it.
Been watching you for an absurdly long time at this point, I basically never comment on youtube but I decided to leave one here to say that I appreciate all your videos very much and they have consistently ruined my life by making me go back to WT. Jokes aside, I've learned a LOT about what to do and not to do in air RB and have improved massively during this time, I went from not having anything inside my skull to having something that resembles a brain. I mostly play Italy because I enjoy the cannons and your videos on italian aircraft helped me a lot, both by showing gameplay styles that fit with them and also by helping me decide on buying the italian G-2. And don't be so harsh on yourself! I am someone who has a thought process similar to yours (so much so that I have also been called arrogant and negative many times throughout my life) so I can relate to some extent, but your content is fantastic and I am absolutely sure that I am not the only one that learns a lot from it. Congratulations on getting to 100k! You absolutely deserve it, and I hope to learn even more with your videos in the future, wish you the best!
Being human is not easy, glad you are finding your way somewhat Defyn. Your regularity of uploads is excellent for the channel growth and I don't even play WT anymore but I get my fix from watching you. Keep it up man.
To be honest, i have not been subscribed for long, but I am glad that you feel happier now about us, and the comment section, and also watching your videos, even helped be learn a thing or two about dog fighting, and we are happy that you are grateful for the entire fanbase, and i hope you can continue to grow more as the time passes by
wall of words inbound been here for a few orbits of the sun - idrk like 5 ish years i guess the amount of things i've learnt from you is probably greater than any other cc (in wt at least) i never had an account until like last year i think but i specifically remember watching your r2y2 v2 9 kill game as my first time viewing your channel - looking back on it you've improved so much and of course, grown a mouth thank you so much for all you do with us, very cool - i love having the funny words on my planes that make people mald so hard. fanmail has been up ever since i got the seahawk mk.100 we all thank you defyn for your contributions to this silly game, and of course hope you will get well. its really good to hear you recognised the fact that you need a break from your work life - its too often people are overcome with it so to recognise the fact that youre burnt out is super mature - props (and jets) to you anyway thank you have a day
I always enjoy your videos. Since I came back to WT about a year ago I've been watching your vids and the way you describe what you do and how you see the game just makes sense to me. I used to watch Messer back in the day (I've been playing a long time) and he did some incredible things, but didn't really explain what he did or how he saw the field.
Thanks for making content, hope you can relax and get back from feeling burnt out. Your videos has always been something I look forward to getting home from work, and it helped me tremendously to improve in WT
You’re for sure one of the best wt youtubers, not only for your gameplays but for your honesty playing and your comments and reviews. Sure you have a consistent support and you will continue having it, we’ll keep watching your videos! Awesome content man, congrats!!!!
I don't know how much I have improved just by watching your videos. all the free time I get I revisit and rewatch some videos because when I learn something from your video, there is always another thing in that video which i missed. also it's kinda therapeutic seeing you yapp and rant about planes in general
Great post and video - despite being a main tank player (I suck at planes so have more or less given up on trying) I enjoy these videos and the guidance about the planes and suspect at some point this will even get me to try planes again. Keep up the good work!
Hey thanks for all these years. I think you make good, "adult", content. Pretty much only watch you and Smoke gaming vice. Just quality and consistent skill. Maybe I should join your patreon, you've been entertaining me for years so it would only be fair. Keep it up.
been watching you for abot three years now and you helped me become a damn good warthunder player , lvl 100 because of you and honestly i tune into every one of your videos because of you its like watching a freind talk shit about video games and its always a great time.
i love your vids man you just tell us give us an idea of how each thing works and the humor helps. We all love your vids cuz it just hits us on a different wavelength than the others and ive gotten way better thanks to you so really we should be thanking you
Found the channel a couple of months ago, and one of the things that I really liked was exactly the consistency of the videos, because you can learn and improve a lot more from how the regular battle plays out (and also the commentary helps a ton & is hilarious sometimes) Overall as other folks have commented I really enjoy the content and I hope you can keep it up as long as is enjoyable to make!
Hey bro i dont comment very often but i have been here since 30k subs and seeing your work growing out with time is a massive happiness honestly, im not really good with words but keep up this awesome work we all love man
I currently watch two war thunder youtubers: smigol for the montages, and DEFYN for learning about the game. I was a very big fan of AdamtheEnginerd before he stopped making informational content so I was ecstatic to find someone similar to him who also has a dry sense of humor to break the monotony. Keep going DEFYN!!
Defyn ive been subscribed for not particularly long but I always make sure to watch your video before buying a new plane and i do enjoy just how you ramble on it adds a bit more humanity too your videos and hearing about the motorbike incident keep your head up man trust me things will get better ive been in spots like that before and i can tell you things will get better it may seem like they wont at times but it will ❤
I've been playing very on/off since 2013, this year I've made more progress than I ever have and your encyclopedia of videos is largely responsible for making all that experience finally come together, making me feel like an ace to be reckoned with. Lets hope one day we can have a solid dogfight.
i recently haven't been able to finish your videos cause of a combination of ADHD and already knowing good portion of what you are talking about. however, despite that being the case for a year now i still come back to your videos and you are always the first person i recommend to new and intermediate players. i dont usually comment on your videos cause i usually dont have alot to say about them but on this one i will say that you are a type of creator that is not common enough and while i cant comment on you as a person cause i dont know you i can say that the journey of self improvement is long and hard but trying is more then you could ask of the average person and effort is what i think separates the good people from the bad. (also i am often shocked at your criminally low subscribers. good to see they are going up as last time i checked it was 75k)
You are the person I turn to when I need to know about a new aircraft that’s being released or when I need to relax after a long day. You are very straightforward about how you feel about various vehicles or topics and I find that admirable. I don’t think you are a d**k or arrogant, you are just brutally honest and that’s what I come here for. So, thank you Defyn. Fly safe.
You got me into Arb, I kinda suck at it and trying to be better, but I always enjoy your videos, the knowledge, the commentary and the jokes. Thank you for the videos and the honest words, I hope you doing better.
Thank you daddy Defyn, you have helped me a lot to learn the game. I really love your videos and the way you do the commentary too, it’s unique compared to others I’ve watched.
Hey Defyn, your channel is one of the few that I consistently watch almost all the uploads for. I love the dry humor and I’m happy to see your channel growing.
Man, been watching you for 3 years, been playing the game for 10... I saw myself in what you say in this video and i'd really like to start youtube and do the same type of videos in French, you are just so good and inspiring
ngl your beginners guide for things like energy fighting from 3 years ago has helped me out a ton, few days ago I got a 4k in a p38 which I never wouldve gotten like 2 months ago
Thanks for your consistency at posting and hopefully you'll reach soon 100k i feel what you say about the begining of your channel (i don't have any consitency so mad respect to you for posting every 3 to 4 days We do all enjoy that) so, i hope u have a good afternoon with all of these positive comments
I’m applying to college right now and your videos are a constant I can always be assured I can come back to and watch when I’m stressed. I’m similarly bad with words, so all I can say is the same: thank you. Continue manifesting skill issues in AirRb.
I just found out my Sim Partner's granpa flew Hurricanes and Spitfires during the Battle of Britain and In Egypt. The timing of this Video is impeccable! His Name Was M.S. Pujji, if you guys wanna read about him, guy was an absolute Gigachad.
I can't explain how quickly from finding you to you becoming my favorite war thunder youtuber was. Your videos are almost always entertaining; you're not only funny as hell, but the fundamentals in the videos themselves are super helpful. You deadass had me taking fucking notes in your 'tutorial' videos on the radar guide and dogfighting in general, I can safely say I have never once done that in my life before. I know it's cliche, but keep doing what you're doing, love ya man. Always looking forward to more.
i love this channel and the content is always fun to watch, definitely helped me get better over the 1 1/2 maybe 2 years ive been watching, i dont usually comment but honestly im glad i found your channel
Hi Devyn, I have been watching your videos for a while now but i believe this is my first time commenting. I love what you do and i can certainly say that my own gameplay and understanding of the game increased drastically due to your content. I wanted to thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into the channel!
I have lurked for a long time and I can't remember a single time I've commented on any WT video, but I love your shit, and it makes me happy to hear that you took a step back and looked at what you are doing from a more distanced perspective (I hope you undestand that this is meant to be positive and praiseful!). I love your videos, your attitude, your commentary, editing, it's all great, whatever you do, because it's you doing the videos, however you want to. Those are the best CCs. Anyway, I appreciate your uploads, they make me happy everytime, and keep doing whatever you want to do man! Much love and support!
Don’t comment much, but I’ve really gotten into your content recently and just wanted to say thank you for everything you do. Your dry humor and commentary is amusing to watch (and fall asleep too) and I wish you all the best. You’ll reach 200k in no time.
I mean, Defyn, you literally became THE plane youtuber for War Thunder. You are consistent, good and have a niche thats actually in need of someone with good opinions because of how big the GRB youtube scene is in comparison
Been watching your videos for so so long, and i thoroughly enjoy your content. Its always fun, the way you describe the planes in WT and shit... Also iirc i discovered your channel after your collabs with Adam514. Good ol days, man i wish you more power! Onwards to greatness! 💯
I understand you so much about your work burn out, I'm in the same situation but you have the opportunity of youtube and if I was you, as you often say I would take it with both hand and s**k on it. So keep up your amazing content and don't listen to hater, you are a legend and there will always be people watching you ! 💪
Damn, Defyn is nearly at 100k. My friend introduced me to your channel in 2019 when I first started playing war thunder. It took me ages to get good on a crappy laptop that gets 50 fps if I’m lucky, but the fundamentals of how to plan out an air rb game really helped. The dry humour is also pretty good. I hadn’t played in a year due to uni and other real life stuff, but started being recommended your videos, watched a few and then jumped into a game with the f86f-25, got four kills and had a blast. War thunder is fun when you’re not grinding or overly caring, but have the match awareness that you teach. So thanks mate. I have a very important question. I learnt recently that you are an f1 fan in an ad recently, so here goes: Danny Ricc in for Checo next year, or keep Checo on, or someone else? I’m 99% sure, being a dutchie, that you’re a Max fan :). Greetings from Australia.
I think you’re one of the fairest least arrogant wt youtubers I’ve watched since I got into this community (around when the game came out) You seem to put yourself in question often. You’re quite thoughtful and you interact with your community. Couldn’t ask for more. You’ve been my go to channel for over a year now so thank you for the almost daily entertainment!
You aren't very good with words, you're awkward with your phrasing and you aren't super snappy with your comebacks, but that's why, I personally, find you so entertaining, it feels like one of my friends on the other side of the screen and not some silicon valley google bot, and with that in mind, I feel like I retain a lot more information because of it. When you started implementing the Golden eagle ad reads at the beginning of some of your recent videos, I was actually happy to see it because you expressed that you were fairly compensated but you also made it clear that you didn't want to be some kind of sellout, so I truly appreciate your concern for the viewers. Now with all that yappin out of the way, thank you for posting consistently good and informative content, I look forward to each and every upload, have a nice day.
Defyn, massive thanks to you, you have helped me a lot from being a bad pilot to a pilot that can do some things, sure I'm not great, however I'm working on it to become better. I don't normally leave comments, so I'll say this. I love watching your content.
No better way to recover from an insane weekend than by listening to a dutch man ramble about planes
Never knew he was dutch, I always thought he was an american with a speech disability.

Others may find your consistent content boring. But for me, it says one thing: your narration is 100% proof that you'd be one helluva good news reporter xD

YOURE GOING ON THE HIT LIST ODDBALLS 😂😂😂😂
@@certaindeath7776 Same. I thought it was would good in GRB, but it's total ass :(
did I hit? No? Skill issue.
Whenever I need an opinion on WT this is the first place I go to, the gameplay fundamentals are just so consistently solid in a way that no other TH-camr can match
Also, you should do another Oddbaws collab, the last one was great
I was about to say that’s how I discovered Defyn was from that Oddbaws collaboration and since I enjoy airplanes more in WT, Defyn is my go to to learn more.
Bro you’re the reason I’m actually able to do anything in air RB so thank you for that and the laughs and for taking care of my mom so well :)
good to see she raised a good child, tell her il be over tomorow by 6
Found ur channel about a year ago, and I can honestly say, that you are my favourite WT cc atm. The way you deliver your narration is a huge part of the charm of your vids. Your guides are in-depth and extremely informative to a degree often better than the official wiki. I've even managed to get a friend or two to start playing by showing them some of your videos. You've helped me massively with my own skill issue, and for that I cannot thank you enough. Please always remember to look after yourself and your needs, the community values you a lot, and that means we value your well being above all. Life can be rough, taking a break is always okay.
P.S. While writing this, I was AFK flying back to base on Afghanistan EC. I glance back at the game to find my plane on fire and undergoing rapid unscheduled disassembly, hurdling towards the ground at march 1. Definitely still got that skill issue XD.
absolutely outplayed smh, il make more videos to make sure it doesn't happen again.
What a pleasant video Defyn, thanks for the positive message, and wish you the best. A bit scary to hear the accident actually happened that way, burnout is real and sleep is a godsend.
can only sleep 24hours a day x)
Hey Defyn, I don't comment often on here but I just want you to know that you're one of my favorite youtubers overall and that I'm grateful that you keep uploading to this day, as your vids are completely part of my life lol.
Happy that you're feeling somewhat better about yourself and congrats on the (nearly) 100k!
I agree with this 100%. All of the other TH-camrs I watch always felt out of touch. As if they just have all this time and money. But you made me feel different, you always just seemed to be a neche that I never thought I would get into and that your just another one of the “big TH-camrs” but the more I watch you and learn about war thunder through you. You have made me so happy so many times and I can never wait for a new video. Not everyone gets a huge financial start or has all the time in the world and you have shown me that. I love you man and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and week
And please know that we as a community are here for you no matter what. We arnt here for the fame or glory we’re here because you are probably the one who got us into actually paying attention in air battles or just wt in general. You are the more genuine and hilarious human on this platform and I can’t wait to see how you grow in the future
Been subbed to this channel for a few years now, It's been so great to watch your content develop and your video styles change and I'm really glad to hear that throughout this process you've gained a bit of self confidence. Seems nice that someone who gives so much to his community gets something back from doing it
Kudos
We're here to support you Defyn, your channel has genuinely helped me with my dogfights and I really like watching your videos!
It's amazing to watch your channel grow and get the recognition you deserve. From the early days when you were super quiet and played music during your videos to when you got your first microphone upgrade and started feeling more comfortable making jokes. I'm not 100% sure when I first started watching but your napalmratte was the earliest video I can remember watching when it came out. Thanks to you, I've become a decent pilot and now know for the most part what to do in most situations I find myself in and I can't thank you enough for helping me. You've even answered my questions on your discord whenever I have issues or don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
takes me back lol, that shit OLD OLD.
Thanks :)
@@DEFYNSame for me. Seeing you dunk on Napalm's shit opinion was great😂
It's shit like this that I enjoy your content it seems. I had recently taken time off work due to my mental health. I was to the point I was to the point that I felt like my only way out was to just end it all. Unfortunately I don't feel as if 2 weeks was enough time to figure my shit out. I relate to basically everything you said apart from owning a motorcycle. I too can have a massive ego and criticize everything (albeit im not as good as you) but that extends to myself more than anything. Your content just feels right for someone like me and i domt miss an upload even every goddamn sale guide I watch already knowing how I'm going to spend my cash. It's just great unfiltered content with a lot of substance and things to learn even when critiquing someones misplays. Im more than happy I was introduced to the channel from your first oddbawz collab and I fell in love with planes even more since I've been around.
Im glad you are still on this side of the ground and prioritizing yourself more. We might not like ourselves that much or have a high opinion but maybe one day we will learn something in life to change that. Much love Defyn.
Didnt get notified for this it seems thag superthanks go into a different notification tab sorry for that 😭
Thanks for the support and the words
Hope you're doing well 🫡
Love every video you put out, high tier or low tier, for your insight on aerial combat, dry and out of pocket humor, and editing. Your consistent narration and tone is perfect for helping me relax no matter what the subject is, I watch every one.
Everyone else here has said it better than I could. Love the new mugs, it's a perfect feature for the artwork and a nice big size for slurping that skill issue.
Bro hearted 10$ but not 15$ 💀Rip
Man i never got notified for these
TH-cam is scamming you
Thanks a lot for the words and the contribution 🫡
@@DEFYN That sounds like youtube, alright. I usually just let you drain my balls with the 3% discount code.
Thanks for all you do!
I have been watching your videos for the past couple of months and I can confidently say that as guy who hated air rb and prefered to play ground, your guides and your videos have been a great help at finally understanding how to control my planes
great to hear, that's always been the goal :)
I absolutely love all your videos and really enjoy watching every single one of them. They always cheer me up when I'm feeling down or had a bad day. Just got your Skill Issue mug today in the mail and absolutely love it.
Thank you for all the content you are producing
For the first 2 or 3 years that I've played WT, I was basically a free kill for anyone who encountered me. I would only stick to arcade and stuck to that until the time of the F-4c. I finally started playing realistic but was still really bad at the game. Thanks to you and some random German dude who was autistically obsessed with the Bf-109 G-6, I have been able to fully grind out half the trees in the game and maintain a positive KD. Ik that there may have been some parasocial relation ship formed but still, watching your content has helped me out through some hard times by providing some sense of normalcy and stability in what I watch and experience as I moved out of my mom's house in New York and started college in Tennessee. I thank you alot for the entertainment and skill boost that you've provided me over the last 2-3 years that I've watched your videos and wish you the best of luck beyond 100k subscribers! Thank you alot for what you do
great to hear. good luck with the studies :)
LOOOOOOOOONG time lurker, love your content , you are THE opinion on this game to me and many i know. keep the chin up bud! I truly hope you can make this work for you full time. We all deserve to be happy.
I'm happy so see that you do ok now, and that you gain popularity and $.
Seeing that an actual high quality WT youtuber is succeeding isn't common, but when that happens it feels great.
Especially one that's Air RB focused
I genuinely suck at air RB
and your videos have provided a fun and entertaining way for me to pick up those skills and enjoy the game mode more
I don't get big kill counts. Maybe 2/3 per battle. But your videos have massively improved my enjoyment of the game mode - I understand what's going on and can appreciate skilled players more. And that's a sign of a valuable content creator. Perhaps you're not as distinguished as other creators, but you are valuable to the air RB community.
I just want to say that whenever I don't feel good about myself or whenever I feel down I just turn on one of you videos and they always cheer me up. Thank you, keep it up.
I don’t remember how long I’ve been subbed, but I’ve been watching for 3 or 4 years now. I remember when you did a Q and A and mentioned you weren’t going to continue doing TH-cam; I also remember the day you announced that you were going full-time. While I can’t support you with money, I can honestly say that I felt genuinely proud of you when that day came. Hearing that news made my week, the same happened when you got your first sponsor. We are similar in age but I felt like a proud dad! I love you man, keep it up! Also I have been on TH-cam for over a decade and this is my second or third ever comment for what it’s worth.
A super rare user-zk7sn3qf5d comment! Ima frame it.
thanks lmao
You strike an amazing balance of informative and entertaining, a level that I don’t see with a lot of other WT creators.
Even as someone who has been playing the game for about 6 years and doesn’t play air RB(I honestly just don’t have the skill or patience for it), I still watch your videos all the time. Be it for entertainment or to figure out a lower tier aircraft I’m interested in playing.
I’m never left with a basic impression of a plane I could’ve made myself. Instead I’m left with an incredibly detailed explanation of how the aircraft should be played and managed, and witty commentary to laugh with!
Thank you for all of the incredible videos, Defyn!
Thank you for all the content man. You inspired me to pick up War Thunder and your videos have been instrumental in teaching me how to play the game. Keep up the great work!
Another W for the power of friendship!
TH-cam says this comment is an hour old but the video is only 20 minutes old 🤔
I’m always glad to be part of this community with you Defyn :)
I started playing WT about half a year ago only playing ground. Found your videos shortly after and you got me into Air RB. Your great videos gave me the confidence and fundamentals to start playing Air RB. You and Odd are the only two WT TH-camrs I consistently watch. Love your educational angle in every video and dry humor!
The out of pocket narration makes your videos so much better. Please don’t let that go.
I don’t always comment but I do enjoy watching all of your videos.
My man straight up insulted my poor boy A5M4 Claude :(((
I enjoy watching your videos. Good stuff man.
well you have yourself to thank for the 100K... good content brings the subs. definitely earned it.
plenty of people with 100K that make you go.... "how tho" lmao
Love you DEF, keep up the good work. Cheers from a combat deployment in Africa where your content keeps me sane, thanks king.
I never comment but something I wanted to add is that I'm glad you could get this far man, your videos have been always good and consistent and they are so useful to the point of reference for the ones who enjoy this old "plane game" (or what it used to be)
love you mate, love your videos, you are amazing, and so is your content, simple as that
This channel is the only reason im good at air rb and dont full commit headon everyone, these vids are great.
Even now with a ton of experience i keep learning stuff from them.
Thanks a lot
Love you Defyn, take care of yourself first and foremost. Love everything you put out here.
Ah Defyn.
Hearing all this makes me want to give you a hug, honestly.
Then I remember how much it would cost me to go to the netherlands and I quickly abandon these ideas but I still hope you can feel loved.
You taught me so much that I am pretty much a veteran at this point.
I am close to completing my second air tree and can confidently say that I am not too shabby at this point. I have you to thank for that, so maybe if my financial situation looks up, you can count me as one of your patrons.
MASSIVE THANK YOU to you DEFYN you are the best keep going.
you taught so much about all of those stuff.
I'm really REALLY greatful of what you are doing.
You are calm and honest, and your mostly on topic. in the topic you are not always right, but always competent. All of that paired with dry humour.
for me that makes your channel way more enjoyable to watch, then any drama/hype series.
So as a watcher for several years: thx for making da videos :)
i hope nothing hurts from the accident, you may consider also taking a youtube vacation, every job needs vacation.
Mostly on topic is pretty accurate I gotta say. Me when i see anything unrelated so I can get off track faster and go on a 20 minute yapping session
@@DEFYN one needs to ramble, when playing an uninteresting plane for the viewers.
just dont make the mistake jengar made, with starting to make the channel political (with questionable assertions^^).
At some point he had more subscribers then you, and growed faster, but then he started politicising, and his growth stopped (and i unsubbed him^^)
Love your work! Everytime I unlock a new plane, i watch your vid. about it in order to know a bit more about that plane. You helped me progress a lot over the last year with your vids. Keep it up!
This is hands down the best channel for learning this game. I started playing 2 weeks ago, and I’d have absolutely no idea how to begin to get an advantage on someone by myself. Nobody else has these mid-match breakdowns of the fight that make as much sense as yours. Truly great work man.❤
I've been binging your content for about a week now. Love it and your inability to mince words is really awesome to hear coming from a new player like myself. It really shows me what I have to improve on and where I can go.
Congrats on nearing 100k dude, wish you the best of luck with reaching 1m. Your videos have really helped me out with playing this game in general, once again I wish you the best of luck dude.
Happy to hear you're doing better, without a doubt you're one of my favorite youtubers and have become a daily thing for me. To be honest I've been burnt out myself and was planning on changing my work schedule today because of that. So it's kind of funny that you mention this stuff today as well
This is my go to War Thunder channel, and watching your videos has really helped me with the game. Love your videos.
Btw this kind video of reminded me of that F-86 video you made a few years back. I’m glad to see that you’re still improving and working on yourself.
right around the time i start watching your videos, my life starts taking better turns and things have gotten better. No idea how that correlates but its very nice to get excited when I see that defyn posted a new video. A little spice to life. Cheers.
only found your channel about a couple weeks ago but i really love your content bro, top tier videos. It shows u care about the community and they care for you too !
I used to play WT quite a bit but just due to not many of my IRL friends wanting to play it and i also just get tired of the grind... That being said, I still check every single day for your uploads and i enjoy listening/watching them while i work. I think your knowledge is just so insanely good, you have very nice narration skills and know how to get a laugh out of me in all of your content.
Thank you so much for your videos. I cannot say I am a depressed person, and im not really sure I have ever been there (not a boast, rather I don't think its fair to lie about serious conditions and take away from those who do), but It makes me so happy to see a person such as yourself helping others in similar situations.
Men suffer in silence. We have this idea that we have to be strong and negate our feelings, but they are real and present. Its important to support ALL people struggling. Please don't let the status quo hold you guys back.
We ALL deserve happiness.
Thanks again DEFYN.
I love you and aslong as I will play this game, you'll be my number 1 TH-camr. Massive thanks for you to put that much effort into your videos and keep on the way that you're doing.I think that you're a great person and you deserve really well. You design your videos really nicely so it doesnt get boring, just love it.
Been watching you for an absurdly long time at this point, I basically never comment on youtube but I decided to leave one here to say that I appreciate all your videos very much and they have consistently ruined my life by making me go back to WT.
Jokes aside, I've learned a LOT about what to do and not to do in air RB and have improved massively during this time, I went from not having anything inside my skull to having something that resembles a brain. I mostly play Italy because I enjoy the cannons and your videos on italian aircraft helped me a lot, both by showing gameplay styles that fit with them and also by helping me decide on buying the italian G-2.
And don't be so harsh on yourself! I am someone who has a thought process similar to yours (so much so that I have also been called arrogant and negative many times throughout my life) so I can relate to some extent, but your content is fantastic and I am absolutely sure that I am not the only one that learns a lot from it.
Congratulations on getting to 100k! You absolutely deserve it, and I hope to learn even more with your videos in the future, wish you the best!
Being human is not easy, glad you are finding your way somewhat Defyn. Your regularity of uploads is excellent for the channel growth and I don't even play WT anymore but I get my fix from watching you.
Keep it up man.
To be honest, i have not been subscribed for long, but I am glad that you feel happier now about us, and the comment section, and also watching your videos, even helped be learn a thing or two about dog fighting, and we are happy that you are grateful for the entire fanbase, and i hope you can continue to grow more as the time passes by
U are definitely one of the most honest TH-camrs ever. Not many others would say this kinda stuff to their viewers
wall of words inbound
been here for a few orbits of the sun - idrk like 5 ish years i guess
the amount of things i've learnt from you is probably greater than any other cc (in wt at least)
i never had an account until like last year i think but i specifically remember watching your r2y2 v2 9 kill game as my first time viewing your channel - looking back on it you've improved so much and of course, grown a mouth
thank you so much for all you do with us, very cool - i love having the funny words on my planes that make people mald so hard. fanmail has been up ever since i got the seahawk mk.100
we all thank you defyn for your contributions to this silly game, and of course hope you will get well. its really good to hear you recognised the fact that you need a break from your work life - its too often people are overcome with it so to recognise the fact that youre burnt out is super mature - props (and jets) to you
anyway thank you have a day
I always enjoy your videos. Since I came back to WT about a year ago I've been watching your vids and the way you describe what you do and how you see the game just makes sense to me. I used to watch Messer back in the day (I've been playing a long time) and he did some incredible things, but didn't really explain what he did or how he saw the field.
Thanks for making content, hope you can relax and get back from feeling burnt out. Your videos has always been something I look forward to getting home from work, and it helped me tremendously to improve in WT
You’re for sure one of the best wt youtubers, not only for your gameplays but for your honesty playing and your comments and reviews. Sure you have a consistent support and you will continue having it, we’ll keep watching your videos! Awesome content man, congrats!!!!
I don't know how much I have improved just by watching your videos. all the free time I get I revisit and rewatch some videos because when I learn something from your video, there is always another thing in that video which i missed. also it's kinda therapeutic seeing you yapp and rant about planes in general
i love watching my fav air teacher with a speech dissability and amazing humor, keep making the vids and making our days bro and have a nice week
Great post and video - despite being a main tank player (I suck at planes so have more or less given up on trying) I enjoy these videos and the guidance about the planes and suspect at some point this will even get me to try planes again. Keep up the good work!
Hey thanks for all these years. I think you make good, "adult", content. Pretty much only watch you and Smoke gaming vice. Just quality and consistent skill. Maybe I should join your patreon, you've been entertaining me for years so it would only be fair. Keep it up.
the support of being here is sufficient but thanks :)
been watching you for abot three years now and you helped me become a damn good warthunder player , lvl 100 because of you and honestly i tune into every one of your videos because of you its like watching a freind talk shit about video games and its always a great time.
i love your vids man you just tell us give us an idea of how each thing works and the humor helps. We all love your vids cuz it just hits us on a different wavelength than the others and ive gotten way better thanks to you so really we should be thanking you
Found the channel a couple of months ago, and one of the things that I really liked was exactly the consistency of the videos, because you can learn and improve a lot more from how the regular battle plays out (and also the commentary helps a ton & is hilarious sometimes)
Overall as other folks have commented I really enjoy the content and I hope you can keep it up as long as is enjoyable to make!
Hey bro i dont comment very often but i have been here since 30k subs and seeing your work growing out with time is a massive happiness honestly, im not really good with words but keep up this awesome work we all love man
O avião que amo no br 2.3 é o lagg-3-35. Foda mano, espero que continue nesse crescimento meteórico você merece!
I currently watch two war thunder youtubers: smigol for the montages, and DEFYN for learning about the game. I was a very big fan of AdamtheEnginerd before he stopped making informational content so I was ecstatic to find someone similar to him who also has a dry sense of humor to break the monotony. Keep going DEFYN!!
Defyn ive been subscribed for not particularly long but I always make sure to watch your video before buying a new plane and i do enjoy just how you ramble on it adds a bit more humanity too your videos and hearing about the motorbike incident keep your head up man trust me things will get better ive been in spots like that before and i can tell you things will get better it may seem like they wont at times but it will ❤
I've been playing very on/off since 2013, this year I've made more progress than I ever have and your encyclopedia of videos is largely responsible for making all that experience finally come together, making me feel like an ace to be reckoned with. Lets hope one day we can have a solid dogfight.
i recently haven't been able to finish your videos cause of a combination of ADHD and already knowing good portion of what you are talking about. however, despite that being the case for a year now i still come back to your videos and you are always the first person i recommend to new and intermediate players. i dont usually comment on your videos cause i usually dont have alot to say about them but on this one i will say that you are a type of creator that is not common enough and while i cant comment on you as a person cause i dont know you i can say that the journey of self improvement is long and hard but trying is more then you could ask of the average person and effort is what i think separates the good people from the bad. (also i am often shocked at your criminally low subscribers. good to see they are going up as last time i checked it was 75k)
You are the person I turn to when I need to know about a new aircraft that’s being released or when I need to relax after a long day. You are very straightforward about how you feel about various vehicles or topics and I find that admirable. I don’t think you are a d**k or arrogant, you are just brutally honest and that’s what I come here for.
So, thank you Defyn.
Fly safe.
I mostly lurk, but I absolutely adore your content. Your consistent fundamentals when it comes to gameplay and your commentary is very entertaining.
You got me into Arb, I kinda suck at it and trying to be better, but I always enjoy your videos, the knowledge, the commentary and the jokes. Thank you for the videos and the honest words, I hope you doing better.
just wanted to say, always love your videos, its what made me get back into doing majority air rb
Thank you daddy Defyn, you have helped me a lot to learn the game. I really love your videos and the way you do the commentary too, it’s unique compared to others I’ve watched.
Hey Defyn, your channel is one of the few that I consistently watch almost all the uploads for. I love the dry humor and I’m happy to see your channel growing.
Man, been watching you for 3 years, been playing the game for 10... I saw myself in what you say in this video and i'd really like to start youtube and do the same type of videos in French, you are just so good and inspiring
ngl your beginners guide for things like energy fighting from 3 years ago has helped me out a ton, few days ago I got a 4k in a p38 which I never wouldve gotten like 2 months ago
Hey, thanks for the content Defyn, I really like your commentary, It's nice to listen to!
Only found this channel 5 months ago and I have binged watched almost every one of your videos I love the humor dry or not W deftn
Thanks for your consistency at posting and hopefully you'll reach soon 100k i feel what you say about the begining of your channel (i don't have any consitency so mad respect to you for posting every 3 to 4 days We do all enjoy that) so, i hope u have a good afternoon with all of these positive comments
I’m applying to college right now and your videos are a constant I can always be assured I can come back to and watch when I’m stressed. I’m similarly bad with words, so all I can say is the same: thank you. Continue manifesting skill issues in AirRb.
I just found out my Sim Partner's granpa flew Hurricanes and Spitfires during the Battle of Britain and In Egypt. The timing of this Video is impeccable! His Name Was M.S. Pujji, if you guys wanna read about him, guy was an absolute Gigachad.
learnt a lot from your montage,now I can get consistently 2-3 kills in Air RB now.Thanks for the content,it means a lot
I can't explain how quickly from finding you to you becoming my favorite war thunder youtuber was. Your videos are almost always entertaining; you're not only funny as hell, but the fundamentals in the videos themselves are super helpful. You deadass had me taking fucking notes in your 'tutorial' videos on the radar guide and dogfighting in general, I can safely say I have never once done that in my life before. I know it's cliche, but keep doing what you're doing, love ya man. Always looking forward to more.
i love this channel and the content is always fun to watch, definitely helped me get better over the 1 1/2 maybe 2 years ive been watching, i dont usually comment but honestly im glad i found your channel
Hi Devyn,
I have been watching your videos for a while now but i believe this is my first time commenting.
I love what you do and i can certainly say that my own gameplay and understanding of the game increased drastically due to your content.
I wanted to thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into the channel!
glad you're okay, def. there is entirely something good here. thank you!
gg DEFYN. I think you're great with words personally, your dry humour is delivered perfectly
I have lurked for a long time and I can't remember a single time I've commented on any WT video, but I love your shit, and it makes me happy to hear that you took a step back and looked at what you are doing from a more distanced perspective (I hope you undestand that this is meant to be positive and praiseful!). I love your videos, your attitude, your commentary, editing, it's all great, whatever you do, because it's you doing the videos, however you want to. Those are the best CCs. Anyway, I appreciate your uploads, they make me happy everytime, and keep doing whatever you want to do man! Much love and support!
Don’t comment much, but I’ve really gotten into your content recently and just wanted to say thank you for everything you do. Your dry humor and commentary is amusing to watch (and fall asleep too) and I wish you all the best. You’ll reach 200k in no time.
I mean, Defyn, you literally became THE plane youtuber for War Thunder. You are consistent, good and have a niche thats actually in need of someone with good opinions because of how big the GRB youtube scene is in comparison
Been watching your videos for so so long, and i thoroughly enjoy your content. Its always fun, the way you describe the planes in WT and shit... Also iirc i discovered your channel after your collabs with Adam514. Good ol days, man i wish you more power! Onwards to greatness! 💯
I love your vids and sense of humor, man! Keep doing you and take it easy.
I understand you so much about your work burn out, I'm in the same situation but you have the opportunity of youtube and if I was you, as you often say I would take it with both hand and s**k on it.
So keep up your amazing content and don't listen to hater, you are a legend and there will always be people watching you ! 💪
I now understand props quite well because of your videos, so atleast one of your viewers learned something ;)
Damn, Defyn is nearly at 100k.
My friend introduced me to your channel in 2019 when I first started playing war thunder. It took me ages to get good on a crappy laptop that gets 50 fps if I’m lucky, but the fundamentals of how to plan out an air rb game really helped. The dry humour is also pretty good.
I hadn’t played in a year due to uni and other real life stuff, but started being recommended your videos, watched a few and then jumped into a game with the f86f-25, got four kills and had a blast. War thunder is fun when you’re not grinding or overly caring, but have the match awareness that you teach. So thanks mate.
I have a very important question. I learnt recently that you are an f1 fan in an ad recently, so here goes: Danny Ricc in for Checo next year, or keep Checo on, or someone else? I’m 99% sure, being a dutchie, that you’re a Max fan :).
Greetings from Australia.
I think you’re one of the fairest least arrogant wt youtubers I’ve watched since I got into this community (around when the game came out)
You seem to put yourself in question often. You’re quite thoughtful and you interact with your community. Couldn’t ask for more.
You’ve been my go to channel for over a year now so thank you for the almost daily entertainment!
Hey man so sorry about all the things you’ve been through recently, I’ll always be a huge fan no matter what💜
You aren't very good with words, you're awkward with your phrasing and you aren't super snappy with your comebacks, but that's why, I personally, find you so entertaining, it feels like one of my friends on the other side of the screen and not some silicon valley google bot, and with that in mind, I feel like I retain a lot more information because of it. When you started implementing the Golden eagle ad reads at the beginning of some of your recent videos, I was actually happy to see it because you expressed that you were fairly compensated but you also made it clear that you didn't want to be some kind of sellout, so I truly appreciate your concern for the viewers. Now with all that yappin out of the way, thank you for posting consistently good and informative content, I look forward to each and every upload, have a nice day.
The yapper recieves a yapping. Such is the circle of life.
Defyn, massive thanks to you, you have helped me a lot from being a bad pilot to a pilot that can do some things, sure I'm not great, however I'm working on it to become better. I don't normally leave comments, so I'll say this. I love watching your content.
