Defyn, you dont have to lie to make us feel better about our gameplay. We know you didnt actually die vs that mig 29, you recovered from the spin, put out fires on engines, and somehow flew back to base, repaired and then killed the mig.
It's truly incredible that you can see the mig23's microscopic brain shut down once he realizes he cant just hard crutch the airfield, truly brilliant stuff.
@Acheronian Rose it's funny cause a few Mig-29 pilots don't know how to manage their energy. I've managed to out turn a couple enough to have them get 3rd partied.
At 3:32, you can lock him with hmd and warm up your missile 2 secs earlier. You would've been able to instantly launch the missile when you finished the turn.
Yes, I was waiting for him to do that. I guess he had the pressure of having that guy on him, and had a tunnel vision on his gameplay without thinking so much of what he could have done. And also because he may not have the habit of using HMD
Regular EJ? I got a talismam for it nearly 2 years ago (back then it was still quite good) but had the missfortune to have to use it to grind the EJ Kai back in Danger Zone, and when I'm done with the Soviet MiG-29, I'll have to go back to it for the F-16.

I have discovered something in this planes radar that I wonder if anyone else has noticed. Let’s say you’re in a head on. Both of you locked into each other at BVR ranges. You both launch missiles. If you cut left (or do this sequence in the opposite for cutting right) at a slight angle then flip your plane sideways wing tips pointing north and south with the cockpit side turned towards your opponent. You’ll almost completely continuously notch their radar like you’re perpendicular while holding your lock.
@@brim-skerdouglasson lol yes but was using cardinal directions to make it a little more visually understandable. It doesn’t work now though since the last major updates.
Remember noobs, wait for sales and it’ll be $35 and don’t forget to use Defyn’s link for that sick decal. And for the love of god watch radar tutorials, Defyn’s gunnery tutorial, and learn how gravity works.
I skipped the grind and bought this, the f-5 and a-10, out of all of those I like this one, it holds up well against higher tiers if you’re willing to stay back and play that way
The aircraft is pretty good, got it myself, but I much prefer my favorite F4E, you get much more ground ordnance and a choice of cammo. I do wonder why the F4S doest get the same weapons that the previous variants do ? I genuinely want to know.
It would've had it not been premium, I don't want a premium f4 with guided munitions that allows even more whales to flood ground rb as the a6, a10 and Greek apache have done and still are. I saw my random squadmate AIM player die to someone I squad marked and shot at with mg's, get into his Greek apache loaded with x16 hellfires, and sit 2 km away from the map above the southern hill on middle east He died in 2 seconds and immediately left the game, honestly don't see why people keep doing this to themselves and others
I got 85k RP last night after a sim battle in the F4S, killed a few MiG 29s, bombed a few bases and had the most fun in years with the awesome sim community.
hello Doof, I hope you're recovering through your stuff. It's amazing how resilient you are that you still have to suffer for us with a whole phantom series
yes it is 100 percent worth it. it can get 20k per match guaranteed. It can take out 2 bases on its own and is able to defend itself. as a premium and a grinder the fact it can defend itself and bomb bases is extremely good. best premium in the game for grinding.
Nah most rank 7 perm can do that it's just better to wait for a sale to buy it as it's just very average and meh also doesn't help you are going to be losing most of the time as well which will make the grinding worse as US teams aren't doing well because to many people are trying to bomb instead of helping the fight
@@SixteenthSine20 on my F-4E I go with 18x500lb and 5x750lb bombs. I drop 10x500lb on the 1st base, then the remaining 500lb + 2x750lb on the 2nd base. If no one wants the remaining bases then I drop my last 3 bombs on one of them in order to get the little extra mass of TNT
Hello Defyn, love your vids! Can you do an more indepth guide on how to use the radar missiles? I recently bought that F-4S Phantom II and i'm having a hard time figuring out the different radar modes and how to get and keep a solid lock on the enemy. Plus what keybindings are importat for the radar and what they do
Even though i hardly know anything about these jets. They are still beautiful planes and i love seeing these videos. From what i learned yeah unless theres a deal for it im not buying this thing
Yeah i still think SPAA should deactivate when there is only one person left alive. Would protect people from being camped when actually using it to rearm and repair but doesnt help people who run for base when last alive.
normal search mode radar is kinda meme. u cant notch and chaff it once sparrow is launched. only disadvantage is all they need to do is fly low and use ground clutter. I recommend normal search mode if enemies are higher
Hey all need some advice. I want the mig 29 I was thinking Germany but that’s like all their gonna get for a while they have no other good top tier coming but Russia gets buffed every 5 seconds lol. So what prem should I use to grind the tree?
f4s is probably a better grinder, but you have to play it a super boring way and get punished hard for any mistake. f5c you can fly at the enemy and come out alive
8:39 - You actually messed up that fight from the very beginning. The F4S can absolutely beat the mig29 in a 1v1 you’re just flying it wrong. You have to avoid furball dogfignt meta and play it more like a missile bus because that’s what it is. If I was in that situation I fly to the edge of the map where no one else is and lock him up from 30km and shoot a 7F at very high speed, then crank and put him off to the gimble limit of my radar. The BVR capability of the F4S is as good or better than the mig29 thanks to the sparrow missile bus capability. I’ve killed mig29s countless times this way. Of course if you’re going to try to 1v1 dogfignt it you’re going to lose. But if played correctly the F4S has a lot of advantages to exploit. It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot!
ive been searching your channel do you have any tutorials about using radar i still dont know how to use this things radar effectively im just clicking buttons till i get a lock
This will grind you out the entire tree, but I'd still personally reccomend the f5c since it's a lot friendlier for new players/much better at 10.3 than the f4s is at 11.3 plus I find it more fun but that's subjective
Ok i might sound stupid but im just getting into radar and i see him switch from bvr to the other bvr mode what does the other one do ( I probably make no sense)
well i bouth this thing while being stuck in an avrg of 9.0 br for all my other planes, i can figure out the radar locks, which button to press, when, when to change from seach to trk, how to use the src pd correctly, i never get a lock unless im in the small radar vie which i think is trk, any help?
I like them but last night I had a J-8B locked at 1000m alt with him at 5km off my nose, I shoot an AIM-7F and the AIM-7F does an AC7 Maneuver to hit the friendly flying my wing a little bit ahead of me but 90degrees to the right
Making the premium better than the tech tree is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Like for all the people (including me) that grinded the f4j just for it to be worse than the premium variant?! Like someone can get the game and buy the premium immediately. Absolutely bs
reason i get the f4s for not grinding: i could spend 300 dollars on golden ealges so i can get the f4e (because i need one more plane to unlock tier 8 to get the f16) or i spend 70 bucks on pixel plane and then also unlock rank 8? (i have the f14 but i also want the f16) kinda obvious what i should spend. at least i get a decent grinder as well and some extra get and premium time for f16 grind. (the reason i don't grind the f4e is because i don't want it when i have f14, and i only got tier II in that line sooo yea.
@@FXIIBeaver without playing props how can one know how to aim? how to manage energy? dogfight tactics? sure i wont stop him if hes gonna get a $70 f4s but itll be an even bigger learning curve that will result in terrible stats (if he cares) and pissed off teammates.
Yeah, 70$ is just plainly overprised. You'll get more bang for your buck if you spend it on some DCS or modules. I'd rather spend 70$ on Vodka than on a premium vehicle.
Imo F4S, Mig23ML,F104S, are my top 3 Premium aircraft I only own the Mig23ML (from a friend buying as gift), but I own the tech tree similar aircraft and my friends that own them say they are pretty good
That’s because it has the AN/APG-59 radar system, which has Pulse Doppler. And if you pair that radar with AIM-7F’s, it’s a very dangerous combination for even most 12.0’s. If you ever get radar locked by anything you think has Pulse Doppler, turn 90 degrees in any direction and pop countermeasures. Turning 90 degrees causes an effect called Notching, which basically reduces your Radar cross Section, making it harder to maintain a lock or even detect you on any Pulse Doppler/MTI radar systems. The way Pulse Doppler/MTI works is by relative speeds of your aircraft compared to the one locking you up. If you go head on with something with a Pulse Doppler/MTI radar mode, your relative speed will be high, causing you to get picked up real easily. If you are going sideways however, it’s almost impossible to see you on the radar
I take 5 7fs and 2 9h. The 9h are pretty bad at the moment, a single flare makes them useless and they are a bit slow. You can use 7fs within 4km when behind the enemy pretty easily. I don't take the gunpod

Making the premium better than the tech tree is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Like for all the people (including me) that grinded the f4j just for it to be worse than the premium variant?! Like someone can get the game and buy the premium immediately. Absolutely bs
reason i get the f4s for not grinding: i could spend 300 dollars on golden ealges so i can get the f4e (because i need one more plane to unlock tier 8 to get the f16) or i spend 70 bucks on pixel plane and then also unlock rank 8? (i have the f14 but i also want the f16)
kinda obvious what i should spend. at least i get a decent grinder as well and some extra get and premium time for f16 grind. (the reason i don't grind the f4e is because i don't want it when i have f14, and i only got tier II in that line sooo yea.
its on sale on steam so its $34.99 should i still get it?
which planes have a helmet mounted display?
F-4S, F-4J, MiG-29s, And apparently the F-4E Kurnass 2000 does too, or at least someone said it did so don't quote me on the Kurnass 2000
It's pretty good.
god that MLA dude
Honestly. I can easily wait until it's half off
but when can we expect that?
@@roadrunner_noxe8793 the anniversary sale or Christmas
So if I'm tryna grind a plane for us what should I get? F5C or this (Plot:I do suck at air rb)
learn props first. dont buy any top tier jet if u dont know what ur doing. better off getting the xp50.
@@ikea_manager_pok literally 2 different play styles. Plus no one in top tier flies like they should. Everyone still acts like they are flying P-51s.
@@ikea_manager_pok if he wants to play modern why should he learn props? Literally nothing translates between modern jets and props.
@@FXIIBeaver without playing props how can one know how to aim? how to manage energy? dogfight tactics? sure i wont stop him if hes gonna get a $70 f4s but itll be an even bigger learning curve that will result in terrible stats (if he cares) and pissed off teammates.
If you think playing lower tiers if you arent familiar the game doesnt help you you are beyond lost
Yeah, 70$ is just plainly overprised. You'll get more bang for your buck if you spend it on some DCS or modules. I'd rather spend 70$ on Vodka than on a premium vehicle.
what if someone doesn't drink? they are allowed to buy it?
@@wapniak666 then buy your boyfriend a soy cocktail.
@wapniak666 No, because there are better hobbies to spend 70$ on.
@@martijn9568 what if I already spend money on my other hobbies? Then do you allow me to buy it?
@@wapniak666 he didn’t say you’re not allowed to buy it, he literally specifies “I’D RATHER”.
It’s a recommendation, not a damn order.
Could you ever fly the A-4E?
anyone know how he gets such consistant locks
If F-4S is premium does that mean we will get F-4N in tech tree?
you kinda sound like gru
Did no one hear him say HMDeeznuts ? 🤣
nice!
They need to make AA shut down after you repair.
Beaufighter video when
Imo
F4S, Mig23ML,F104S, are my top 3 Premium aircraft
I only own the Mig23ML (from a friend buying as gift), but I own the tech tree similar aircraft and my friends that own them say they are pretty good
Yup I agree, the ml slaps
same here
TRAM is my favorite. Definitely not the best, but still favorite
It's an intangible asset, it isn't worth $5 let alone *SEVENTY FUCKING DOLLARS*
Anyone have a loadout with radar missiles and enough bombs for 2 bases
I say its the best grinder
F4S needs to be 11.7 or 12.0 whenever its fighting my 10.3s i cant flare nore chaff it
That’s because it has the AN/APG-59 radar system, which has Pulse Doppler. And if you pair that radar with AIM-7F’s, it’s a very dangerous combination for even most 12.0’s. If you ever get radar locked by anything you think has Pulse Doppler, turn 90 degrees in any direction and pop countermeasures. Turning 90 degrees causes an effect called Notching, which basically reduces your Radar cross Section, making it harder to maintain a lock or even detect you on any Pulse Doppler/MTI radar systems. The way Pulse Doppler/MTI works is by relative speeds of your aircraft compared to the one locking you up. If you go head on with something with a Pulse Doppler/MTI radar mode, your relative speed will be high, causing you to get picked up real easily. If you are going sideways however, it’s almost impossible to see you on the radar
No, that'll be stupid. 11.3 is where it should stay. 12.0 should be 12.3 but I'm sure that'll be a thing soon. Just learn to notch.
Day 3 of asking Defyn to play the b29 for the 1rst of April.
A6E still a better plane for grinding tbh
but i heard that it is slow and a easy target
@@roadrunner_noxe8793 you have 4 aim-9L at 10.0
I take 5 7fs and 2 9h. The 9h are pretty bad at the moment, a single flare makes them useless and they are a bit slow. You can use 7fs within 4km when behind the enemy pretty easily. I don't take the gunpod
Funny how the AIM-9Hs are supposed to be more resistant to flares than AIM-9Gs
MIG29 already had insane performance; and now he's buffed? Gaijin's really leaning into that Soviet Bias
F-16 and MiG-29 both had their FM's *fixed, they were underperforming.
