Dont worry, its nothing that wont get better over time, the videos already got some flavor, now we just need people to click on it, try making the thumbnail a bit clearer, changing the brightness/contrast might help!
@@Bad_Karma777 Thanks for the tips mate, I know next to nothing about photoshop/image editing etc so I'm just making it up as I go haha Love your content by the way, I always send people your way if they want advice on a plane I don't really fly 👍
I like the boarder you've added, it makes it easier to identify thats its one of your videos. Personly I really like the thumbnail on the Typhoon fgr vid, its clear and bright.
@@mujipanda1947 That's because it's an actual photograph taken at an airshow by a friend of mine, sadly can't do that for every thumbnail haha. I'll try messing around with stuff like the brightness/contrast as karma suggested
The green outline is honestly hard to see when it's a small thumbnail. You could certainly keep it but it needs something more to stand out. 1) You could make the outline thicker. 2) A transparent gradient behind the plane might look cool - make a rectangle the size of the thumbnail with 0% opacity on the left, maybe 25% opacity on the right. Leave the JF-17 on the very top layer so it's still visible. More than just small graphical changes though, I'd think about your channel branding. The guinea pig has a lot of potential but isn't in your thumbnails. This would give it some good personality. In my opinion your channel needs a "face" (or logo) that people will instantly recognize when sharing your video. I do love the guinea pig. Goddammit I only just got the pun on Megan Fox... shows how slow I am lol. Maybe there's a way to integrate that into the theme? (Is it possible to have a guinea pig that looks like Megan Fox?)
Love to see this channel growing so quick and gaining more viewership, on par with the quality of the videos being made - not many channels doing serious walkthroughs and step by steps like this.
@MiGanFox3Is it easier than the F16C? Because in F16 I feel like I'm constantly getting a kill and then dying. Sometimes 2, but it is very rare. Whether it's high or low altitude, it's the same...
@@Thom83ooo the 16C is perfectly capable, I obviously don't know how you're playing, but your issues are probably more around your positioning and defending rather than your airframe choice in this case
Love the modification breakdown at the start! Not sure I've seen many people break it down visually like that - helps so that you can pause and digest it for a sec. Something else I appreciate - your dogfighting isn't perfect - you make reasonable assumptions or small mistakes here and there, but keep it in the video. Talking through it and analyzing those mistakes is just as important as the pristine, perfect gameplay clips. Great quote at 12:54 - "Try and condition yourself to enjoy those moments in War Thunder where you flew well but didn't get any rewards, because if you're completely rewards-driven, then you're probably not going to enjoy the game as much and you'll probably burn out." Good advice in general. Things are more rewarding when you have that intrinsic motivation behind it. Keep up the great work!
Thank you mate! Yeah the mod thing was an idea I had after learning the cursed order in which one of my friends was researching his mods haha And you are absolutely correct on my dogfighting, by far the weakest part of my game. Dogfights in top tier are rare so practice is also rare, I only recently started playing in TSS so I'm working on it going forward. For now though I try to avoid acting like I have some kind of authority on it, but if I have clips I like to break down what I think is going on. Fox-3 is really where 90% of my gameplay knowledge lies so that's obviously my main focus
@MiGanFox3 Some RUclipsrs' authority comes off as being a bit pretentious, I feel like you're more down to earth / humble, or just straight to the point. The Fox-3 analysis has been great. Never could consistently notch, multipath, all that until finding your vids this past week or two.
@@toastoftriumph Glad to hear that! Yeah the 2 things I want to try and avoid is projecting any kind of arrogance, and I want to avoid being clickbaity as best I can
12:57 amen. Im happy if i notched multiple missiles or if i didnt died in the first encounters. The thumbnail is good and def gets the attention. Maybe you should choose a thumbnail style that people connect you instantly. For the recognition.👌
Yep I'm just trying to settle on how I want it to look, I like the text and the same green outline on the plane to make it pop a bit more. Just trying to settle on a border gradient. I'm also wondering if maybe I include the channel icon in one of the corners
Im not sure what it is about you, your cadance, how you explain information so effectively and swiftly when going over maneuvers and methods of attack and defense, but you are literally the only WT creator I wanna watch right now, you're just so enjoyable to listen to, its partially your accent too. Keep creating I absolutely love your content, favorite channel on YT for me right now. Get it! o7
My man over here teaching me a masterclass in how to fly above 10.7, i thank you sir. Youve taught me more in 3 to 5 videos than ive learned playing the game myself.
@MiGanFox3 what are the odds you can get me a dummy's course on the Mirage F1C-200 and MiG-23ML? I'm awful flying at top tier and those are my main grinders I think for France and USSR. My friend tried teaching me how to fly the 23ML, and literally talked me through an ace like my 5th match lol. Im loving the content. This is the type of stuff I could listen to for ***hours***
@@cq4538r Try running the gun pods instead of the 530Fs on the F1C. MTI is a shadow of what it use to be and honestly I find the 530Fs with that radar are 1 chaffed every time. Gun pods will also make it easier to grind some ground targets if you get the chance. Try to give your magic 2s good launch parameters, if you use them properly they are 2 free kills right there. So be mindful of not firing them at too great a range (they're easier to flare, also they lose their energy from drag quite quickly, they accelerate super fast though). Be wary of wasting them in the head on as well, much easier to flare Beyond general stuff I can't offer you really in depth guidance like the videos for those planes, as you can probably tell I spend 90% of my time in fox-3 and that's what I excel at haha
@MiGanFox3 hey that's more help than I have gotten lately lol. I'll give the gun pods a shot, usually my loadout is 2 Magic 2s, 2 530Fs, and drop tank. But I'm far more reliable at ground pounding, so maybe I'll take the rocket pods? I've been playing the A-10A a lot lately lol
@cq4538r this is the video my friend watched that gave him the gunpod idea and he seems to be going well with it. Haven't gotten round to watching it myself but here you go: ruclips.net/video/cc4ZjO4Vk7U/видео.htmlsi=E_I9Pqz0lbKzoRO4
Just wanted to say I love the content you’ve been putting out. I found you by chance while watching RUclips on holiday and I’ve since binged all of your content. You do an excellent job of clearly articulating your decision making and I’ve been able to translate what I’ve learned into my own gameplay. My confidence in my defensive flying has improved considerably. Thank you for the work you’ve done, I am looking forward to any future content you put out. Here’s hoping that you get yourself a decal one day, you certainly deserve it.
I enjoy watching your stuff, i am now mastering notching and i am really confident in flying high nowadays. thank you so much. the sensor view and explanations helped me so much. i hope you grow fast, more ppl need to see your stuff. Or maybe not, if everyone keeps getting better it will be a sweaty game 😀
If you didn't catch it Catwerfer's recent notching video is great for those detailed breakdowns in sensor view. Recommend you check it out if you didn't already 👍
Have to say I love your breakdowns of engagements. Honestly I am a Ground RB enjoyer and Air RB is mostly for "grinding". For flying I (used to) enjoy the buggy mess that is DCS World ;) So notching etc. is nothing "new" to me but seeing it explained in the WT meta helped a lot. By the way, the Jeff is one of my favorite modules in DCS.
Unless you're caught out super close range, pretty reliable. If I get hit I can usually watch it back and have a look in sensor view and see I made a mistake (got my angle wrong, didn't change trajectory enough, didn't maintain the notch and the missile re-acquired me for example). Try to look for patterns in how you're dying and then you can better understand what you may have done wrong
@MiGanFox3 This is great advice, had some really bad experiences against the 120Bs of the Eurofighter and simply figured out that my periodic chaffing led the missile right back to me...
@@simula152 A good tip from Catwerfer's recent notching video is to chaff in bursts Establish your notch, quick double tap of chaff, descend/climb. If missile doesn't appear to be leaving your RWR then repeat
I have mine waiting for my willingness to stock grind it. Also curious if those laser guided rockets would be helpful for ground pounding to help with stock grinding, I never saw anything like that in other jets, only helicopters.
Doing some air to ground to help get some RP is perfectly valid, I can't offer any advice on that though as I play pretty much everything purely air to air
I don't know if like is the best word... more I want to grind the Japanese tree and I decided the premium f86 was my best option. It can be fun but I'm not a massive fan of low tier jets, I'm also not terribly good with them haha
Guys I’ve grinder the f16aj and f15 line for Japan and completed them, I’ve just finished the grind for the Jas39c and I’ve almost gotten the kfir C10 event vehicle. Do I get the JF-17 for china to grind after I grind Isreal or do I play Sweden ground.
@@Itsnotavailable_67 remember the JF-17 isn't a premium so even if you talisman it the research efficiency for lower tiers will make it very slow. J-7D is currently on sale and in a very good spot to grind china right now, just depends if you want to spend money or not which is your call
@ there isn’t any sale on console for me rn and I’m planing on playing Isreal first- I’ve got 80k left for the event vehicle. Also could you possibly make a video sometime soon on the Jas39c for Sweden because my matches have been hit and miss so far
@@Itsnotavailable_67 Ah fair enough, that's a shame. I did do a gripen video not super long ago, it was the british gripen with the darters though. I still play the swedish gripen the same way, you just have to allow for the amraams being worse off boresight close range Video if you didn't catch it: ruclips.net/video/6s8DVihHS9I/видео.html
@MiGanFox3 yeah I watched it but I wasn’t sure if I should play it the same. What range should I be launching them (Rb99s) at to have the best chance to get a kill
@@Itsnotavailable_67 so first up RB99 is an amraam copy paste. Given the gripen only has 4 I'd still be saving them for 20km or less if i can despite their excellent range. When you have less missiles you want to get value out of them, so that means fire closer, just have to be aware they do not pull in well super close range high off bore
SD-10s are copy pastes of the PL-12. Kind of an all round missile, ok range and good pull off the rail. I'd be using them closer range though yes, just be aware there won't pull as well as a mica or R-77
❤Hi great videos you have a lot of knolech❤i will like to get some help from you ,I just got the su-33 and i a usa main and i will like to know how to fly properly the misilebus pelase help❤keep yo the good content😊
I might fly it soon, depends if I get the time. Some general advice for you: - You'll have to be a bit passive in the up tiers against all the top tier fox-3 platforms, don't go in first, try not to expose yourself etc and try to snipe people with the ERs - Down tiers you can play a bit more aggressively, just watch out for the Fakour-90s - The 2 ETs you can take are great for stealth attacks, you can also try firing an ET then an ER straight after to confuse people and give them 2 different threats to deal with
@ so more or less its like su27 but whit better rwr , i notice that bleeds speed like the doritowings so i think maybe it need to be even more passive ,either way i will wait for your vídeo cause you explain things whit very good examples and its very easy too see how things plays out. Thanks for the replay❤️❤️❤️

This for a 13.3 is very fair should a standard tbh but something like the SU34 as a missile truck is crazy to be 13.3 as well. SU34 needs to be 13.7
Compression as always is a bit of an issue, I'd find the Su-34 tough to play at 13.7 with the lack of HMD and relatively weak flight model
