@@covidius9511 funnily enough, even with the Sabres going down in br, I still see half their teams filled with A4Es and we all know how that will pan out😂
I seriously don't get the match maker, anything under 9.3 gets constant uptiers to 9.3 and gets fucked by the F-104 spam, and anything that's 9.3 or higher including the F-104 then somehow get 90% full uptiers to 10.0 and 10.3 where the 104 is still the most painful painbus ever with all the op missiles at that tier I don't get how no matter what br I try to play I get constant uptiers Also, the F8U is fucking 10.0, idk what gaijin even feels when making the brs
I only had 6 downtiers in the last week of playing 9.3 and rest of the games were uptier to 10.3. So mutch fun dodging aim-9l and r-60m with no flares.
That's because only 25% (usually 4) players can be at the max BR in a match, this means that there are more players per match that are bottom tier than top tier so that will be the case at any BR
@@br4mb0rAren't the attackers with all aspects now 10.7? Also just don't engage them unless you can get their 6 or don't take a full head-on. They are flying boats dictate the engagement instead of giving them a free kill...
I spaded the F104 before the BR increase and got mostly 10.3 games. Shit felt easy to use even in the 10.3 games and the odd downtier just felt criminal. Anyone who thinks it's fine being at 9.3 suffers a massive skill issue and doesn't know how to fly it.
Moving planes is like moving homeless people to a different city, you just create a problem somewhere else. They need to increase the BR spread to 16-ish.
Thought it was gonna be a showcase of the british F.6, do you have an opinion on the state of that vehicle currently? the sraams feel like a sidegrade to normal missiles more than a BR bump worthy upgrade
I discovered this thing when it was added, and it was silly even before the br changes. It reminded me of the top tier Hunter F1 days... minus the 104s. Get it above the enemy team, and just work on killing highest to lowest as they get distracted by everything else.
also there is a secret supersonic at fucking 9.0, the Q-5 early. Not to mention the other Q-5 varients like the Q-5A/Q-5L with flares...at 9.3 with a bootleg mig-19 FM
Decompression solutionn could also be reducing br range of a match from being 4 BR spots to only 3 (eg. isntead of 8.3 to 9.3 youd see either 8.3-9.0 or 8.7-9.3) and thus you wouldnt have to shuffle all the individual values around
You can really tell he knows how to play this, I've got 75 games in Hunter F6, 50 deaths and 43 kills. Looking at my planes (I play tanks mostly) it's incredible I have a k/d of planes >1 with the F-7F and also the Italian Bf-109 F4. Because of ground CAS, I hate air realistic where everyone sees you all the time and sneaking up on people by attacking from below so you're lost in the ground clutter doesn't really work.-
Hey DEFYN, Is your old vid about f80 A5 still relevant with the changes in the game? I've been viewing your old and new vids for 2 mos. now. I'm just a new viewer, and also new to the game.
I love it when DEFYN talks about the battle ratings in air. I think war thunder would look way better if DEFYN just took a part time job at Gaijin and just change the brs a bit. it just makes no sense, Gaijin... yeah idk what they are doing in their office but i think they smoke some stuff man.
It’s because sadly they balance off of purely player stats in vehicles , so the most popular planes will be poorly placed due to lots of bad players using them
@austinarmstrong9729 yeah I know but do u think that its fair to fight mig 15 and sabers when you are in a me262 from ww2 The br (de)compression is not based out of stats there is now a huge gap between 10.3-9.3 all the 9.7 - 9.3 like the first gen harriers getting downtiert now
I unlocked the swift f.1 (8.3, my second jet) just as the decompression hits. Boy, I was fighting f-104s almost every game for about 30 matches. I had so many games that I couldn't get a single kill and die to super sonic jets or to missiles, since I'm a noob. I don't know if they "solved" the issue or am I just being lucky, but I didn't see much of them after a couple of days. Now, with the plane amost spaded, I can get about one or two kills per game and live for most of the time.
Friendly reminder the F-16AJ is the same BR as the Gripen and F-15 while not being able to take advantage of it's strong suit (dogfighting) because the majority of its matches are BVR fox 3 bs
tbh I have been flying the 104C after the BR changes, and idk if it's just me, but the amount of full uptiers to 10.3 has been absolutely absurd, the funny thing is that even at 10.3 that thing is still decent (if u know what ur doing ofc)
Hunter is my fav. I stopped playing WT because they had nerfed it so much...i rage quit. But If they have the BR set right again, I'll jump back in the seat.
This sounds like a dumb question but how do I get the decal. I really like it would love to throw it everything but I’m not sure which link in the description. 0:56 is where I heard about the decal
Do you have any plans to make a 5.0 J2M2 Raiden video in the future? because the game changed a bit since the last time you did a video about it(2 years ago? i don't remember), and it would be interesting to see that(personal opinion)
Maybe you can do a video on the F11 It features also a lot of traits the Hunter has, altough not as agile. But can mount 4 AIM9-Bs Just tried it out for a couple of matches today and was surprised how well it did. Much better than i used to remember.
I have been spading the mystere IV A, most of my games were 9.3. The f104 and the mig 21 are still a pain in the ass when flying subsonics. I wonder why gaijin didn't move anything lower than 10.0 up
Hey Defyn I love flying the Mig-19pt which is at 9.3 but my every single match is a full uptier with little to no exceptions, i have to face planes faster than me with better missiles and flares, do you have any tips for me or should i just not play at that BR?
I can counter the junk 104s in my Mirage IIIC and probably the MiG-21S players too, and on 9.3 the Lightning can match it. Maybe I should call back the SPS-K from retirement now?
Idk if you have tried it out recently, but the F2 Sabre is very similar atm. I´ve been playing it a bit and I got more consistent results than ever I think. Maybe you can make another video on that in the near future :)
Anything for the AIM-9Bs DEFYN? I'm checking out the F9F-8 soon but I feel like there wasn't a proper introduction for it and it ended up kinda awkward and I'm still puzzled as to how to use it, so there's that.
My two cents is that you shouldn’t rely on the missiles entirely, since AIM-9Bs can be pretty easily avoided by just turning hard. You can use them in a way where if someone is running away from you, you can fire off a missile to force them to turn, and then force them into a dogfight(which the Cougar is good at) so you can finish them off with your guns.
Maybe one day I will be able to dominate the skies in my hunter FGA. 9, back when that was the ceiling and I could get 3 minute aces on Korea or sPAIN. The days. I say that and that was really only 4-5 years ago, but how does the time fly.
Do you think you could make a new video on the MLD? After the flight model change and the multipathing rework, it feels like it sucks and I want to know if I’m just playing it wrong or if Gaijin ruined it. Thanks for the great content you make, it has helped me to become a better player.
It can't really dogfight anymore. It is nothing more than a missile sled now. You can say that they ruined it but they gave it it's historical maneuverability. At the current moment a majority of fighters in game can pull more Gs than they could historically. Nobody cared until the F-16 got added and suddenly it couldn't out turn things that it $hat on historically. The player base, being the player base talking without actually knowing what they are talking about, blamed Gaijin for using an overly limiting G limiter on the F-16. When increasing the G limiter didn't fix it the player base on the whole just went *shrug*. In reality most every fighter in the game at that moment could pull anywhere from 2-4Gs more than they could historically. All of the MiG-23/27s just got hit with their historic/realistic maneuverability. Many fighters still haven't been hit by the same nerf. Before you think that the MiG-23s will ever be good maneuverability wise once everything else that should gets a proper maneuverability nerf that won't be the case. The late MiG-23s were, at best, as maneuverable as the F-4s with Agile Eagle. In other words they were missile boats, lead sleds, et cetera.
100% yes It does what the hunter does but better because it has countermeasures and solid missiles I grinded out the entirety of Germany rank 6 with it and I have almost a 4:1 K/D in the thing
Just give the american F104s actual countermeassures, if the german 104 can get missiles it was never equiped with, i dont see why these cant get flares.
Can you do a vid on the saabj35xs I picked it up during the sale and wasnt doing terrible with it but now with these br changes I seen so outclassed every match now
Love how the best hunters aren't british 🙏
Typical warthunder moment

defyn can you make a vid on the hunter fga9 it’s a struggle bus currently
Meanwhile the British Hunter F.6 is awful for its BR in Air RB and the Swiss Hunter is in the German tree for some reason!
so the question arises: is a increase of 0.7 BR worth it for the swiss hunter f.58? Aim9P instead of SRAAM, plus countermeasures?
What do you think about doing a AAM tier list for those of us not fully familiar with top tier air?
So would the meteor mrk 8 be in a perfect place to play right now since its 8.0?
Makes me sad the British F.6 is ruined by having those 4 SRAAMS at 9.7
Idk how the brs work, every game I play in the f86f25 is a full uptier, but when I play the f104 i never get a down tier, how
Gaijins incompetence should no longer suprise anyone tbh

Absolutely yes. Or of the best planes at 9.7 . It's also one of the if not the best squadron vehicles.
It's also great for both ground and air
100% yes
