Man this is high quality stuff. You deserve far more views and subs. Keep at it bro. Your quality will catch on. I added this comment and pressed the bell notifications for the algorithm for you.
Many thanks for making this, Mac! Your video is really helping me to play the 109 to it's strengths. Hell, just yesterday I was able to pull off a solo carry against five enemy fighters in my G10. I've never been able to do something like that before and this video deserves a lot of credit for making that happen. You got yourself another subscriber.
Long but comprehensive video tutorials with demonstrations aren't common in the WT community, which makes me appreciate them all the more because I have an idea of how much work goes behind it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and going to check out your previous videos. Thanks. You have a new enthusiastic subscriber. You'll be my @DEFYN junior 🙂
Just commenting to let you know that your content is exactly what people like myself are looking for. High quality footage from a guy who knows what he's talking about and going through all the decisions he makes in a match, seriously awesome stuff man. All the more impressive with how young you are, congrats on graduating and good luck with everything you pursue.
I didn't realize you were so young until you mentioned just graduating in a more recent video. Your presentation style is great, you're very articulate and you teach in a very approachable manner. I hope your channel grows and grows! Thanks for helping us fly better!
This video is amazing right now im struggling in the swedish air tree with the 109 and this is an extremely high quality video with complicated information delivered so simply well done and keep it up man!
This was very well illustrated and articulated, well done. I have not one bad thing to say and you play the energy game well! You made a comment about the F4 being sluggish now…if you take “Instructor” off you’ll become much more nimble and maneuverable at the cost of stability. You can easily stall or snaproll if you’re rough on the stick. It’s like flying a different plane allowing you to be much more aggressive. Someone like you could outturn a spitfire with the E and F using flaps in the right situations. Keep it up!
8:10 If I remember correctly, the Bf 109s had automatic propeller pitch. The Pilots would change the boost pressure (in at/ata/atü [kgf/cm²]; 1 at ≈ 0,980 bar) and the prop pitch atomatically adjusts to set pressure. There is also the Ladedruckanzeige (boost pressure indicator) inside the cockpit, pilots would more likely fly with this indicator rather than prop pitch. Note: I’m not native English speaking and also not an engineer, so maybe Ladedruck is more likely translated to manifold absolute pressure in the context of a Bf 109 DB 605 engine.
thanks for making this video because 109s are my favorites planes in the game and your content is very good, you explain what you are doing like defyn. Very good content and high quality gameplay
I've just started getting back into WT this week after years of not playing. I'm very happy I found your comprehensive video as I left off after getting the F4 and F4 trop and I'm looking forward to getting the rest of the 109's. You got a sub from me, keep the content going, I love seeing the quality prop air rb content.
I am mastering BF-109 F1 and I need to tell you, this video is amazing. High quality, amazing content packed with a lot of important information. Watched it fully at one go and I will be back once I start playing for sure! Good job man, keep it up!!! PS I need to somehow improve my aim, I need to be BF 109 beast with those canons
The prop pitch works differently because, with almost everyone else prop pitch controls the RPM of the propeller (except stuff like the ITP M-1). But in german planes the prop pitch actually controls the propeller pitch directly. So if you set the prop pitch to 100 on something like a P-51 , the propeller will set its prop pitch automatically to maintain 100% RPM. In the case of the 100% prop pitch on a 109 or 190 or almost any other german prop however, you will set the actual pitch of the propeller to max, which at higher speeds makes it turn at a higher RPM than the engine allows. If you have the engine off or at idle that's okay because the engine itself is revving very low, so the increase in RPM caused by the propeller is not gonna cause it to go over the rev limit. However if you do the same while giving the engine more throttle, the engine increases its RPM and does the combustion cycle at according speed, but with the propeller speeding it up further that will cause the engine to knock, combustion to occur at the wrong time, breaking/bending the crankshaft, destroying the valves, etc.
th-cam.com/video/gqGFz1YDEbg/w-d-xo.html The reason for this is explainable. You dont control RPM in manual mode but directly prop pitch. Meaning in a 51 if you control the RPM manually (which was the case in reality all the time) the prop pitch govenor changes the propeller pitch to achieve the set RPM (100% = 3000RPM) Meaning if you go fast the pitch is coarse, if you go slow the pitch of the blades are fine. In the 109 this is different. in engine manual mode you dont control the RPM but really the prop pitch. Meaning if you go slow and you set the pitch coarse (
Dude this video is just what i needed, i used to be more of a Yak 3/ La 7 but i wanted to try out something a little more high altitude and the 109s always seemed nice and this really helped me understand how to better utilize the strengths of the plane.
Just a minor correction to the start (4:04): The 7.92 mm MG 17 were built by Rheinmetall and not by Mauser. But the 20 mm MG 151/20 were built by Mauser. :)
thank you brother, you helped a lot of people and one of them is me. this video is very high quality and helpful exactly tells you to what you do in each situations hope you get more subs
Well that was great to watch, I didn't expect such quality and all the info You provided. It definitely helped me refresh my memory on how to play Bf's, I had some successful games after the video, more than usual, so thanks I guess :D
This is really good and helps a lot sucks I’m on on controller and can’t bind somethings as I need others but mowing how to properly dog fight is really needed and this taught me how to
damn dude this video helped me so much, ive gotten so good at playing the 109, it being my favourite plane and finally being good at playing it makes me really happy so thank you for that!
Giving advices in air rb, clear video that is useful, guy is good at the game and have a decal on the tip of his wing ... Let me introduce Defyn2.0. (But fr your goated, you deserve more views)❤
Congratulations. This Video is a Masterpiece. And i know the game better than others i have 4,805 hours playtime and i am a *Fly only* player. Thank you.
Very, very cool ! The mini-montage was great, I loved it ! Very good tips, the best thing is that you implemented a lot of examples in this video. Praise the german engineering and the wonderful "Deutsche Qualität" !
awsome man ! im new to the game but im doing really good .. watching you merge like this whit it made me be better at energy trapping ! awsome content !i should of watched it day 1 instead of day 16 Plz keep making these kinds of videos ! also when you said the f4 is good aswell what is the major difference whit the f4 and trop ? i noticed the f4 has a little bit better engine is that it ?
Im still a beginner with bf109s but always use these tactics, obviously i still make mistakes often, but sometimes it feels like, every plane is better then the 109 at climbing and energy fighting. A36 climbed 2000 meters for me, kept up with my 500 kmph and couldnt get him off my tail even with the ascending tactics. It is like tradeing tactics, it works until it doesnt. then it is a nightmare.
@@gaborgoda8808 it’s good to know the plane you are fighting. If you were at low altitude during this, the a36 without gunpods is actually pretty fast below 2500m, so I would use a steeper climb and let his worse vertical energy retention fail him.
very good vid, has been very useful in helping me go from hating the 109s to liking them a fair bit :) if you are taking video suggestions, would appreciate a g.56 video, its not a very specialized plane, but it is pretty fun
Technical note - you mention diving or performing a split-s maneuver to "gain energy" a few times throughout this video. Those gain you *speed*, which is not the same thing. You end up losing energy in a dive, and even more in a split-s.
just made the switch from d9 to g2 trop to grind rank 4 and 5, thank you for this guide, it's great. If you have the time please do make a video of roughly how to fight which planes in each rank, I just don't have the knowledge about the planes like I have of tanks.
i am relatively new player(lvl 16) and grinded bf 109 F4, and going to research this treeline further, 'cuz i need CAS aircrafts for Ground RB and Bf 109s are more universal, they are somewhat manouverable(in comparison with other german aircrafts) and have bombloads. Thanks for the video, was very informative, i hope it will help me to grind other aircrafts of german tech tree
The algorithm has smiled upon you this day. Never knew of you before but recommended to me, great video all round, might be long but 100% worth the watch
Ok help a brother i play grb and got into aviation for cas but I suffer i get killed with just a small burst and when i shoot like there is no tomorrow sometimes get a kill I don't know if it is skill issue or I use wrong belts or shells or bullets so should i use he or armor piercing for planes that is
He belts is almost always better for killing aircraft. Find the belts with the most HEF, HEFI, or API bullets/shells. I use 600m convergence without vertical targeting, and make sure you are leading your guns properly.
If Im in a close fight at a disadvantage and I'm close to the the other aircraft, I like to give him a burst. A lot of inexperienced players hear that and assume I must actually have a shot, when in fact, I don't. They will often go on the defense instead of pressing their turn in an attack, and that's often all I need.
This video is super useful, the only thing that I just can't seem to learn is how much to lead and how to aim. Do you have any tips except for "gain experience"?
did you just free look and keyboard fly? why does it look so smooth? When i do it my plane keeps fighting to level and making it look real jerky jerky.
Doesn't seem like it. You had to use manual prop pitch below 200kp/h, and put it to 70% (or lower if at higher altitude). This allowed the aircraft to float in the air, in the exact same way that Mac showcased, but since he wasn't using this trick it means that it has been "fixed" by implementing it to the auto prop pitch.
Yeah later 109s 4.7 and above, especially the k-4 have a problem where their engine goes kaput at speeds below 240kph IAS, losing around 1/3 of its horsepower
@@blacktiger974yes. That is because propellers lose efficiency at lower speeds. They kinda act like rotating wings and “stall” at low speeds like planes do. However, 109s have another prop pitch trick where below 250kph, you can turn on manual prop pitch and set between 64-70% prop pitch to pull thrust out of thin air. I recommend staying at exactly 64% to get the most effect without overheating and over revving the engine too quickly. You can use it to float in stall fights and it’s saved my virtual life lots of times
I do play the entire match with MEC, yes. I find it more efficient, because if my engine is overheating I can simply open the radiators slightly more, or do whatever else. I can also do other tricks easier, such as the German airbrake.
G14 is basically a slightly lighter g6 at 5.3 K4 is all around best, since it has better performance at altitudes below 5km and is faster than the g10. I’d only use the g10 for altitudes over 6km
Omg this is a really useful guide! Very nice, one question this type of tactics can be used also with the fw190d13? I'm struggling with his poor elevator controls
Thanks! You can use these same tactics, but you can’t be as aggressive in energy traps because the 190D has worse energy retention in the vertical and turn
hello thanks for the great video, i rly like 109s so it will be of use :) just a quick technical question, how do you cut throttle so fast (an exemple is when you are energy trapping with the 109 F-4 and the F-6C i think) ? i have to wait maybe 1/2 sec to go from wep to 0% (using mouse wheel or keys). Are you using a specific setup ? And for the flaps, is there any difference between take off and landing (while climbing for an energy trap) ?
I really want to see if the Bf-109 Z can be salvaged as a useful plane. I purchased it and I just can't make it perform at all. Perhaps you can give some tips?
I don’t have it unfortunately, but you have to play it as a strict BnZ fighter. With its poor turn rate combined with the slow guns, predicting how the enemy will dodge is key to aiming with the zwilling. If you miss, then you climb straight up, no turnfighting
@@MacWithGun It took me quite a lot of flight time to get to the point I could call myself anything approaching "good" with it. Boom and zoom is pretty much the only method that works with it.
my number 1 problem is having someone behind you and at the same altitude. Even though my plane performs better at higher alts, how do i get myself in an advantageous position?
It depends on what plane you and the enemy are in. If you climb better and/or are faster, just run until the enemy either breaks off or you have enough space to turn around and accelerate for a merge. You can also dive to gain speed and set up for a reversal, but it’s more risky. I’d only do this if I was desperate or if my plane is better in a dogfight.
@@MacWithGun ah, the running away i understand. Getting into an advantageous merge i don't understand. It's always 1 turn and they are 400 meters behind me
@@MacWithGun ahh so. It feels so stupid though. That this is the 'only' strategy. I would rather energy trap them. But i can't seem to get myself in a position to do that. For example. Me in a k4 and opponent in a lf mk 9 at 5k alt.
@@hendrik457 for that scenario, I accelerate and then shallow climb, 10degrees or so. Starting At 5km, the 109k easily out climbs and outruns the spitfire. Just run for 2 mins, if you are above him and faster too, then you can start a slow upwards spiral to stall him out

Really good information and quality
It’s really gone help me👍
did you just free look and keyboard fly? why does it look so smooth? When i do it my plane keeps fighting to level and making it look real jerky jerky.

THANK YOU FOR CONTENT CONTINUE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
What a guide 10/10 I hope there will be more like a Spitfire Or P-51 done this way,thanks
Please make one vid for F4U-7 kinda deppresed how to climb
Hello. Thank you for the guide!
Would you share your keybindings with us?
I just got the Norway one, it seems better than stupid j21/22 so I can’t wait to watch this
How do you do it bro :/// my bf109g6 doesnt want to turn more than 7.5 degrees when above 600km/h
I don't understand how to control the manual engine but i want to try it soon 😂. A question, is 109 still good without controlling the manual engine?
How to manually adjust radiators?
Do you play the entire match with MEC on?
The old school tip was to only use it during climb and inbetween fights to cool the engine off.
I do play the entire match with MEC, yes. I find it more efficient, because if my engine is overheating I can simply open the radiators slightly more, or do whatever else. I can also do other tricks easier, such as the German airbrake.
this video alone got me to subscribe, why haven't i found your channel sooner
Cool video, really like the detailed breakdown!
Thanks for this! What are your thoughts G10, vs G14, vs K4?
G14 is basically a slightly lighter g6 at 5.3
K4 is all around best, since it has better performance at altitudes below 5km and is faster than the g10.
I’d only use the g10 for altitudes over 6km
Great video, getting way better results now!
Omg this is a really useful guide! Very nice, one question this type of tactics can be used also with the fw190d13? I'm struggling with his poor elevator controls
Thanks!
You can use these same tactics, but you can’t be as aggressive in energy traps because the 190D has worse energy retention in the vertical and turn
@@MacWithGun i will try! thx
Also the k4 has a longer vertical stabilizer
What are your key binds for your flaps? Because mine are 'f' for combat flaps and then ']' for combat, takeoff and then landing flaps.
F-toggle
V-lower
G-raise
C-gear 😬
It’s a bit weird, but it works for me :)

just a quick technical question, how do you cut throttle so fast (an exemple is when you are energy trapping with the 109 F-4 and the F-6C i think) ? i have to wait maybe 1/2 sec to go from wep to 0% (using mouse wheel or keys). Are you using a specific setup ?
And for the flaps, is there any difference between take off and landing (while climbing for an energy trap) ?
So there’s a nifty little trick you can do with your controls.
In the control throttle, you can to set up a key bind to ‘reset axis’
Nice guide! Thank you so much!
What convergence do you run? Crazy accurate shots
600m
This is great!!!!! Thank you
I really want to see if the Bf-109 Z can be salvaged as a useful plane. I purchased it and I just can't make it perform at all. Perhaps you can give some tips?
I don’t have it unfortunately, but you have to play it as a strict BnZ fighter.
With its poor turn rate combined with the slow guns, predicting how the enemy will dodge is key to aiming with the zwilling.
If you miss, then you climb straight up, no turnfighting
@@MacWithGun It took me quite a lot of flight time to get to the point I could call myself anything approaching "good" with it. Boom and zoom is pretty much the only method that works with it.
Bloody awesome video
my number 1 problem is having someone behind you and at the same altitude. Even though my plane performs better at higher alts, how do i get myself in an advantageous position?
It depends on what plane you and the enemy are in.
If you climb better and/or are faster, just run until the enemy either breaks off or you have enough space to turn around and accelerate for a merge.
You can also dive to gain speed and set up for a reversal, but it’s more risky. I’d only do this if I was desperate or if my plane is better in a dogfight.
@@MacWithGun ah, the running away i understand. Getting into an advantageous merge i don't understand. It's always 1 turn and they are 400 meters behind me
@@hendrik457 you have to get enough separation so that once you turn around, you can then accelerate up to a decent speed before you head on them.
@@MacWithGun ahh so. It feels so stupid though. That this is the 'only' strategy. I would rather energy trap them. But i can't seem to get myself in a position to do that. For example. Me in a k4 and opponent in a lf mk 9 at 5k alt.
@@hendrik457 for that scenario, I accelerate and then shallow climb, 10degrees or so. Starting At 5km, the 109k easily out climbs and outruns the spitfire. Just run for 2 mins, if you are above him and faster too, then you can start a slow upwards spiral to stall him out
When y’all say “shallow” climb, what kind of climb angle are we talking about? 10°? 15°?
Yes, an 8-degree to a 12.5-degree climb would be considered shallow
I think i need to improve my crew skills, no way i could do that without making my screen black cz my pilot is passed out.
Very educational, thank you
I like helping and teaching people things :)
Excellent video
Awesome tips, thanks!
This really helped! Ty a lot!
If you havent could you do a setting video?
I’ll cover my settings in the near future!
excellent video, keep it up
Around 34 minutes somebody put some stuff in your chat the probably doesn't need to be there you should block it out
Thought I was the only one who saw that 😂
