This guy just makes it look easy. But on the other hand, he also is good at explaining how he achieves the reversals, how he plots his attacks and how he prioritizes targets. Which of course means...he's teaching us how to be better.
You sure?
You should check his stats.The guy is a legend and respected
About that AA milktrucks... I was flying M2000C. My speed was something about 1250 km/h a few meters above the ground. One shot from milktruck - engine dead. Thank you gaijin. 😅
I guess the devs really just don't give a fuck anymore huh.
Meanwhile the AAA airfield is useless against jets. I played ground RB and while landing to get bombs I got killed by 1 B2 Spirit from German, he get in and get out without a single damage
Thank you deyfen thanks to you I have Genuinely gotten better at this game
This might be weird advice but study actual air combat tactics and how aircraft handle their energies. You'll dominate 70% of WT players.
*edit*
This guy does have great advice though. You're in the right place.
@@johnwinter2252 thx ill keep this in mind
As I listened to this video, I got hit by mid map AA 5 times in the span or 3 seconds, killing my engine and making me lose a game that i had taken from a 1v4 to a 1v1. epic
I had a similar thing happen to me where I got to a 1v1. I forgot one of my landing gears had gotten knocked off and I cartwheeled down the runway and exploded
I'm a new player. I've been struggling with american props and their bad climbrates, but I've tried this plane out and now have a 2.0 KD with it. The airspawn, fast speed, and good vertical maneuverability seems like it makes it relatively easier to fly than other similar tier US props.
I find american planes to be really, really hard to play consistently. They're "unintuitive", so to speak, since you can't just drag mouse at enemy and click. I've watched sooo many videos, including your guides but I still can't apply energy fighting concepts well. And coupled with my terrible aim, it makes it very rough.
Mid map AAA is another weird change like those "bugs" with the forced J-out when damaged(they "fixed" it after we complained) and the force J-out when you plane is critical damaged, you land it on the airfield and the game considers you dead(force J-out) while you pilot is just fine.
The fact that it can damage your plane at all is a shit game feature. There’s absolutely no reason why you should just randomly be taken out of a match for no reason other than you had bad luck.
This is a decision made purely for monetisation reasons rather than gameplay realism.
For gaijin, this hyper-effective hitscan bullshit insta-crit-all-your-fluids mid-field AAA exists solely to slow down people's grind. It ensures people who 'just want to play the damn game' are not able to play the damn game, and are instead required to take 5-10 minutes off each of their games, slowing down their progress.
Only way to speed progress up then is to pay for premium time, or buy a premium plane.
My guy! You have shown me more in the last month than I have learned stumbling around air combat for the last 6 months just dying over and over, like its Ace Combat! Love the insights and tips. Well done sir, well done!!
Didnt watch it yet but i know its gon be a great video as always! Keep up the work man
This timing at 2:55 was impeccable, I love it
Honestly one of my favourite planes in the game even over the fighters I love going back to this plane
I missed the time when the XP-38G was on the store, wonder when gaijin will sell it again, its a good grinder
Where XF5F
Next week probably
This is one of my goto cope feel good planes. MEC is very powerful in this plane. Most maps 5.5 to 6k you run 90 pitch 0 rads. I don’t know why such small cooler flaps would be so draggy but they are. If your willing I usually run around on 90 prop and 30 rads but I will close them any time I’m gonna zoom out. Very easy to exploit against most of what you face. Doing it in the J reaches Jug levels.
Dunno if anyone's run this idea by you, but I think that when they buffed EC AA in It's Fixed 63, they actually just buffed all AA across the game. It's stupid easy to notice in heli PvE, but is still a big problem in air rb, as you know.
also got a one shot fire by the field AA, was in the middle of finishing a crippled zero too, didn't even have time to turn back in to the zero for the last shot before my wing came off. Super annoying and completely unnecessary
i feel like the aaa was buffed, but either way it now makes attackers nearly impossible to use in ground rb, i also got killed by midmap aaa recently when i was 2 kilometers above it 😠
always enjoy seeing Rasor in Defyn vids
You have been dying to AA so damn much because after recent update Gaijin gave them pristine milk crack and now not they only can shoot up to 4km in the air, but to hit you perfectly at all times, no matter the speed or distance. Oh and also god forbid you fly near ground targets convoy
Me nowadays instead of of flying over ground convoys: heads 15 km to the right just to make sure to not get hit lol
Even with its issues I absolutely love this plane. It's one of my favorite planes in the game alongside the P-80 and P-40.
Nice one!
One of my favorite planes
And welcome back
Great video, bro. o7 just out of curiosity, what gun convergence are you on. 4,5,600m?
I’m really glad you mentioned the midmap AAs because recently i’ve also been dying way too much to them, did they change something about them?
Great video! Hope you can cover my favourite plane Tu-4 in some video :)
do you think you could do a review on the russian SU-22M3?
I've been looking at it being my next squadron vehicle and there aren't many reviews on it
ty
god damit, i got today so often killed by that plane
Fun WT Fact "AF AAA Bubble" as DEFYN describes it is 5km vertically or 5km horizontally
Only DEFYN can shit on a plane while getting an ace in 2 minutes.
Ayyy my current favorite plane, (because I haven't advanced that far in the USA aviation)
It gets better and better, American planes are just lovely.
hey DEFYN could you do a video with the Bf-109 G6 with the 30mm in the nose and the 2 30mm gun pods. 3 30mm's is a hilarious amount of firepower for 4.7.
Hey defyn! Amazing content and looking forward to your next video.
As a returning player looking for a new nation to grind, what would you suggest?
(Sweden is fully researched)
And if anyone of the viewers have tips please leave a comment and let me know :)
Russia, US and Germany mainly
Will be preference
@@DEFYN just watched your tech tree guide, decided to go with Russia
China
I think it would be interesting if you showed also some squad tactics with Razor, how about that?
Neeeeeed decaaaaaal
defyns got ptsd from all the op AA at low tier
Exactly my sentiments on the p38 G1, the nose is difficult to get on target, speed is nice, flaps are nice, keep your altitude and kill from high alt downward in priority and you'll be fine. Whole-heartedly agree that mid map AAA is overpowered, ruins many games that had entertaining dogfights, this needs to be toned down. The AA buff and the economy changes are neck and neck for worst change implemented recently.
P.S. in my opinion that is.
Did you change the controls for your 50cal/20mm firing? Or default?
Why do you have 2 engine web and can you please tell us how you show that?
Can you please do a video on the C205n2? compared to the serie 3 i fell like it just doesn't want to climb
Could you maybe play the F4U-4B after the horrific cannon nerf?
I really hope Gaijin starts to lose some players because that midmap AAA is infuriating as hell, already died(or saw others dying) or got crippled a couple of times by it.
Just take ordanance and kill them
@Yazov também não entendo, as antiaéreas das bases também são ridículas de poderosas mas pelo menos da pra justificar que são pra proteger quem vai pousar, agora as antiaéreas de campo realmente não entendo pq eles bufaram.
@@pedromedeiros4955 Even then justifying people just ditching fights they aren't 100% sure they are going to win to go to their bubble of immortality doesn't make sense either.
If you mess up you shouldn't be able to just survive by running away to invincibility.
@@jaek__ I'm not defending af campers, I just said that airfield AAA at least has a purpose even tho it's abused by players, unlike Frontline AAA which is just there to kill people that are literally doing nothing.
@@pedromedeiros4955 I never said you were defending airfield Andy's, it's just difficult to figure out tone through writing.
My bad.
❤
Hey Doof I have a solution for "being unable to put your nose on people with twin engine fighters" and that is the J5N1. It is like a P47DN-1 RE with the Stall control of a 109 and crazy post stall looping.
Pleeeassee make a G91 R4 vid, seems like a good grinder but I wanna get your opinion on it first.
The AN/M3 nerf included the explosive type being changed - it wasn't as major of a nerf as people think.
Hope they get they get the point of that of that mid map AAA rant.
They have been buffing that shit over and over every patch.
Oh I feel you. I got completely crippled by mid map aaa many time. It was just at brs bellow 2.3 and stuff but now I've been killed by it at other brs. It's stupid. Imagine getting someone on your 6 and suddenly he dies to some randomly placed AAA in the middle of the map. Ye doesn't really sound fair from either side. Shit gaijin updates
Same thing happened to me, I was flying low in my MiG-23 at around Mach 0.9 and the mid-map AAA pilot sniped me out of nowhere, no tracers or anything.
@@Jeb724 ye right that's the worst part. Sometimes you don't even see tracer by the time your plane is all orange. And I'm surprised it happened in a mig23 I only play props and god I assumed going that fast would help. AAA is broken
Just take rockets or bombs and deal with it.
@@batista9419 It doesn't help, it's RNG, Gaijin has literally subtly implemented a way to randomly kill players at any point in a match with a dice roll.
You cannot make this shit up.
Fuck this company.
I honestly think the AAA issue is map based (it seems much worse depending on map) I'm guessing due to AAA placement and the buffing or nerfing having such a drastic impact based off map, thats my threory.
Just earlier today a Beaufighter was killed by AAA 30 seconds into a small mozdoc game. Ridiculous
The P-38 and the Ta 152 H-1 are the only two aircraft I can do well in. Despite the fact that there may be "better" aircraft, the P-38 chose me to get aces in nearly every one available to me.
Mid map AA has been so nuts lately. Saw multiple early jets get knocked out of the sky one after another, not being hit by any players. Infuriating.
Just saw one crash right at the start lmao
What is your graphics configuration? Your game is very beautiful
I'm so early i forgot it was 12 at night here
got sniped by a milk truck while going mach 1.1 in a viggen
Which ammo to use?
Hey Defyn can you make a video of the spitfire mk24?
I clicked faster than the rip speed of the F104S.
I personally prefer this thing over the Hornet, but I may just be speshul
This plane is amazing. Yeah the nose authority is pretty annoying at times and fighting against spitfires and yaks are annoying as well but besides that, this plane is a joy to fly
I trashed this plane after 1 flight, cannot even climb, cannot even dogfight and everything shoot to the middle tail is counted as be killed.
@superspies32 your not supposed to be dog fighting everything. It's a boom and zoomer and energy fighter, not a zero
@@_GODSFIGHTER then its horrible at its job. This thing can only climb at 10 degree at takeoff. I even have to install WTIRS to help adjust radiator and propeller pitch and I found its climbing was very restricted
@superspies32 I promise it's actually good. And I'm sure you don't know how to use it right. This thing has an airspawn too unless your talking about landing for repairs and ammo, even then it's not that bad
@@_GODSFIGHTER Interceptor spawn begin at 1000m, I tried every method including set radiator to 0% and propeller to 100% and just 10 degree higher the speed begin to drop. Meanwhile everyone constant climb to 3000m and still faster than me
do you use any postfx settings?
Defyn can you make a video on the f4e again?
Is it me or the AAA has been buffed, just yesterday we were in a 3 vs 2 and both the enemy Su 11 and Me 163 were killed by IA.
Not just you. It definitely feels like they've been made much more accurate recently
i feel like it has been buffed
I’m pretty sure it was in some patch sometime ago, shit is kinda random, sometimes half of enemy die to aaa, sometimes no one
So Gaijin decided that we deserved AAA airfield class all over the map.
I would watch videos of you reflying planes. I'd watch you fly out an f4u five times for commentary alone. I've actually put your tips into practice and improved overnight.
"Doesn't climb well" I whole heartedly disagree. At 3.3 this thing climbs like a monster. 22 m/s climb almost consistently.
This guy could get 10 kill in a b-17 with airfield spawn
dude i fucking KNEW i was sparking the an/m3
also mid map aa is a meme i lost tail control mid dogfight in an f14 because i got slapped by an ai gepard
you killed me the other day gg
Bf 109 f-4 when
Can u play the Swedish G6? Is beatiful
So today I was flying a p47 d28, i see a tempest mkII 12ks out and i turn away from him. He then gets on my tail and catches up to me. I dive, he's still catching up. I climb, still catching up (obviously, he killed me). I got to look at the tempest after the game and the max speeds are 50+kph difference. My question is how are you supposed to just look at a plane and know whether or not it can beat you? I can look at the information in warthunder and it seems to do me no good when I get in a game. Everything seems to catch up to me even when im in the fastests planes for my tier.
@@rainsilent I really appreciate your kind response, you easily could’ve been a dick but this explanation helped a lot. As much as I’ve played this game it’s hard to comprehend how much I still need to learn.
"I was gonna help him out but but he said he was completely fine, so I'm gonna leave him to it 'cause when he says that he mostly does have it"
You sure? Because I think he always has it.
Hey DEFYN can you please fly the premium lightning f.53 now ? It seems unplayable now with the all aspects missiles
It is, so why would i play it lmao
@@DEFYN to be honest i thought i was a bad pilot but now i cant play it
Take out the F4U 1C
I think they are trying to force air rb players into tank battles with those AAA changes, it was buffed again and you can feel it, arcade, rb no matter what you play, i get set on fire, engine knocked by ba-64 armored cars, with 7mm on board, like why else would they buff the AAA if not to make you play tank battles?
Low tier aa is brutal I die to it more than players
Why does the .50 sound different
when was the AN/M3 nerfed?
READ THIS COMMENT IT HAS A GOOD TIP!!!!
If you are in a plane that does not have a very powerful gun, going into the merge head on with another plane (like the p38 for example) with better guns than you is not a good idea to stay head on in the merge to hopefully shoot the other plane out before you even start the merge. instead, use maneuvers to make sure that the other plane does not hit you in the merge. Most of the time, when doing maneuvers, the plane will not hit you and you will be able to get in the merge. Usually, the way war thunder works is that planes either trade gun power for turn time or turn time for gun power. This means that when entering the merge, your turn time will be greater than the opponents plane and you can get the kill. If you are going into a merge with a plane that has the same gun power as you, the choice is yours to either maneuver or go head on. If you are in a plane that trades turn time for gun power, (like the p38) it is best to stay directly head on with other planes as the P 38 Canon can destroy planes quickly. Although, like I said earlier, this means your turn time is not as good as the opponents, this means that you have to make sure you destroy the opponents plane before having the merge. This is usually pretty easy to do unless the player knows how to maneuver, but not many people know how to so yeah. considering the immense fire power of the P 38, it's pretty likely you will get the kill before the merge begins. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments and I can gladly answer for you.
I also don’t agree W random mid map aa deaths happens too often.
Can you play bf 110 pls?
Recommended to me, nice.. I used to love the game but matchmaking ruined it for me, even here I see its USA vs USA forces and so on, no historical accuracy whatsoever. Well played btw
Pls do f4u4-it seems good at low alt, but is kinda… eh
Fw190?
I feel like p38s are like op and terrible at the same time it's weird
woah i am so early
I will never understand why Gaijin buffed the mid map AI aa vehicles to the degree that they have, same thing with giving some of the AI vehicles the ground RB damage models instead of just a HP pool. Who are the people that want these changes?
How is it that for each kill you get so much money and xp for this br?
it's a premium plane
Please play the mig 3
Yall think the aa is bad in realistic, you guys should see it in Sim, Holy fuck.
day 9: play the murican f104a for max fun
War Thunder needs to remove mid map AA I got pilot sniped by a AA falcon in my f5c flying 2km away from the AA.
How in the hell do you fly with the keyboard? I can barely use the mouse to fly ..lol
You don't always use the keyboard, basically you just hold the pitch key down when in an engagement that requires hard turning and it's more convenient to maintain tally(keep your camera on) the enemy with your mouse aim circle rather than holding the C(free look) key. If you want to turn gently to maintain speed then it's normal to rely on the mouse.
Another scenario is when a plane's mouse aim AI doesn't pull as hard as it can compared to holding pitch like what DEFYN says and that's when you'd also need to try and full-send with keyboard, but it won't be frequent that you'd have to worry about it. You can still do respectably without keyboard controls if you are skilled in other aspects.
Bind free look to spacebar and look behind you to disable mouse input and you can control everything from wasd keys, very useful for fighting multiple enemies and defensive flying. Go into a test battle to practice with no worry of getting gunned down.
I bound it to a !ouse button
wait anm3s got nerfed?
Heavily nerfed, they are really bad now
AAA should get a nerf
Just played bf-109 and mg-151 do absolutely no damage lol. Japanese 12.7 are somehow way better
Yeap
Аnd they also broke a good ballistics mg151
IM EARLYYYYYY
Love this plane... I have p-38K to... fap fap ))
Day 18 of asking for you to fly the f9f cougar again
I'm still in awe of P38 pilots, they are always scared and too patient while they let their teammates die, after that all they do is space climb or run towards airfield, With this performance you expect Xp-50 behaviour but no...
Bruh i swear i was rocking this plane while 2 p38E "teamates " climb up to the moon while i was going head on with shit 🤦♂️🤣
