If you're new here & want more details on the datalink trick in this video, I made a short covering how it works: ruclips.net/user/shortstKD2nNv3hls. If you want even more detail I covered it in my F-15E video: ruclips.net/video/ThrAw0HRcQ8/видео.html. Finally if you want more notching breakdowns check out my masterclass from a few months ago: ruclips.net/video/vUJJ94NwH_g/видео.html Also thanks again for 1k subs and welcome to any new viewers!
Very awesome content; I enjoy the analysis and cold presentation from a skilled player. Keep it up and I wouldn't be surprised if this channel *EXPLODED* in growth within the upcoming year. 20k by the end of 2025 is not unheard of in Air RB content creators
The cold presentation is just my natural tone haha, don't think I'd fare well doing the overly exaggerated 'streamer talk' I guess you could call it lol. I also think it suits the informational style a lot better, also hopefully means I don't come across as arrogant, plenty of stuff in the game I suck at (1v1 against experienced TSS players I'm completely out of my depth right now for example) Thanks for the comments anyway, the videos have been getting a good reception over the last few months 👍
Very glad I'm able to say I'm one of the people that found you right when you started to blow up. Over 600 subs since me in like 3 weeks. Another fantastic video, great information and clarity, well done dude, seriously. Very much looking forward to your future content.
Fakours behave a bit weird, make sure you change your altitude rather than notching in a straight line. They don't seem to go for chaff the same way the top tier fox-3s do
Brilliant, detailed, and well-informed videos! A buddy of mine started playing top tier, oh, maybe a month ago or so. Anyway, I've sent him some videos, or rather a playlist from MiGan, and he has greatly improved; within just a week or so.
Thanks mate, that's always my goal with the videos, informational with direct examples on screen at all times and only pertaining to what's relevant to air rb
I see people get slaughtered early in the game but then when I watch their replays they don't respond to RWR tracks at all? A lot of people just don't fly defensively.
I am one of those peoples, I'm new to top tier, just unlocked the F-16 ADF for Italy and defeating amraams is not as easy as defeating sparrows, I'm literally in negative kd on the ADF bc even if I try to notch hard the missile still tracks me to the ground, plus, the ADF is the least maneuverable F-16 and I only have 3 performance mods on it, it's really painful.
@MiGanFox3 7/10 games are uptiers, it's an unplayable br atm, decompression is needed, I get that, if we send the ADF down to 12.3 it would be unstoppable at 11.3, but then again you have the Tornado ADV at 12.0 with 4 super temps and 4 9Ls just with a brick flight model but when you get a 11.0 you're the main target because of your radar and missiles, ez kills left and right.
Amazing video as always dude. After I started watching your videos a few weeks ago, I began implementing your tips and tricks, and it really has helped me improve a lot. Thank you very much for these amazing videos and keep up the good work!
What I noticed is that I was afraid to climb until I got the F-15E. Then I tried climbing, failed a couple of times, and then I worked out this strategy which works in almost all games I play. (Until there is a more skilled player :D) I immidiately start to climb until I get to like 10-12Km altitude, that plane can reach that altitude without being in 40Km radius of the enemy. I keep the TWS on 34Km, because beyond that the AMRAAM is kinda a gamble. I wait until the first 2-3 blips appear, launch 2-3 AMRAAMs maximum, but I usually launch 2, and immidiately start to notch, this way, the enemy who is often waiting for it's missile to hit will get stomped out of the air, then I get to a much lower altitude, and fly away a bit, then fly back to the battlefield. However this strategy is kinda possible thanks to the F-15E, which has amazing thrust.
Yeah the F-15E is fantastic to play in that kind of 'bully' role. If you can get it right you're very much untouchable. If you haven't seen it already you should check out my F-15E video, you might like it/find it useful
These videos are gold I'm struggling because I'm at the point where I have the last SARH planes fighting the 13.3-13.7 ARH planes. For example F15A vs any capable 13.3-13.7 is miserable. The R27ER on the Su27 is not as bad because of how fast they are but still get stomped at 13.3-13.7. I have given up on taking the foxz3 on the F14, the hit rate is very low now most have learned how to avoid getting hit by them.
The Iranian F-14 with the fakours is very capable, but obviously it's expensive on the market if you don't have it already. The phoenixes on the OG F-14s aren't fast enough anymore yeah. The push through the last SARH planes is a struggle, I'd honestly consider playing something lower BR in tier 7 that doesn't see fox-3s to break into tier 8
Dodging like 16 missiles in most games, sometimes you cant avoid it. The biggest thing is situationally awareness, if you dont know where its coming from you wont be able to defeat it.
You know I really feel the Ace Combat games and their clones have missed out on the fun mental chess game and intensity of fighting against the limitations of radar guided missiles, by instead just simply going "Turn hard enough and they miss"
War Thunder (air rb) sits in that unique position between arcade and sim. For all it's faults it really has no competition in that regard. I used to love ace combat but since getting into top tier I can't really enjoy it anymore
This? imgur.com/a/gEsNmTa tbh I hadn't even noticed the button to open that up in the new graphics settings haha so those are all unchanged by me. These are the rest of my settings: imgur.com/a/4PhrknE I typically don't spend much time messing around with my graphics. I just put everything to max basically haha (RT/Dx12 is unstable from what I hear so I've left it off for now)
I have flare on caps lock and chaff on shift (so I can hit either with little finger of my left hand). Works for me because I don't use shift as a modifier I also have flare on mouse wheel (along with throttle). That's actually a neat tip I should mention in a video at some point, if you then mouse wheel quickly you'll cut burner and put a burst of multiple flares in the air super quick
@ Yeah the mouse wheel trick is pretty nice I‘ve been using that for a while as well. Chaff and flare on shift and caps lock is rather interesting though. Which buttons are you using for thrust then? Because I really like the Idea of having seperate chaff and flare buttons but I have no clue what would be best to bind them.
@@cube3207 oh god we're going to get into my cursed binds now (I get a lot of grief from my TSS team for this...) So, I have throttle on W & S, where is pitch up & down you ask? That is on 2 of my mouse thumb buttons (I use an mmo mouse). I never liked pitch up & down on W & S when I first started playing in 2020, my friend found a tip to try it on mouse side buttons, and now it's just embedded in me
Your graphics in air rb seem to look really good. Since the update my missle trails look so much worse and contrails from other planes look bad too. think you could help me out... I feel like ive tried everything and i cant get back to my graphics looking good again
Fakours are a bit funky it's not you don't worry, make sure you defend early and change your altitude as you notch, they don't seem to care much for chaff
The F-16 ADFis suffering in the current meta, it's an absolute boat and it only has 2 sparrows. The tornado ADV is on a better spot than the ADF, we need 14.0 for top tier.

you alone have got me enjoying war thunder top tier! love this content, bell is on, more people need to see your work!
Glad to hear that mate!

Thanks mate, I appreciate that 👍
Fantastic video! I’ve always had trouble notching from missiles that are below me. I’ve also been have trouble notching Fakour-90s.
Fakours behave a bit weird, make sure you change your altitude rather than notching in a straight line. They don't seem to go for chaff the same way the top tier fox-3s do
best video about top tier rb Ive watched ever.
@@sensei7126 thank you mate! You should enjoy my other recent videos then. All following a similar format 👍
Brilliant, detailed, and well-informed videos! A buddy of mine started playing top tier, oh, maybe a month ago or so. Anyway, I've sent him some videos, or rather a playlist from MiGan, and he has greatly improved; within just a week or so.
Glad to hear the content is working for it's intended purpose!
Thank you, I was looking for actual gameplay advice instead of complicated theory.
Thanks mate, that's always my goal with the videos, informational with direct examples on screen at all times and only pertaining to what's relevant to air rb
good video man did not fully understand datalinking i now know why i die sometimes when im multipathing
Check out the linked short/video in the pinned comment if you didn't already, I explain it in more depth there 👍
I see people get slaughtered early in the game but then when I watch their replays they don't respond to RWR tracks at all? A lot of people just don't fly defensively.
A lot of people are straight up braindead and this game shows us that
Yeah a lot of people either don't have the understanding or aren't paying attention
I am one of those peoples, I'm new to top tier, just unlocked the F-16 ADF for Italy and defeating amraams is not as easy as defeating sparrows, I'm literally in negative kd on the ADF bc even if I try to notch hard the missile still tracks me to the ground, plus, the ADF is the least maneuverable F-16 and I only have 3 performance mods on it, it's really painful.
@@elnewbie2611 To be fair the 12.7 F-16s are in a very poor spot right now. If you get an up tier there's not a whole lot you can really do
@MiGanFox3 7/10 games are uptiers, it's an unplayable br atm, decompression is needed, I get that, if we send the ADF down to 12.3 it would be unstoppable at 11.3, but then again you have the Tornado ADV at 12.0 with 4 super temps and 4 9Ls just with a brick flight model but when you get a 11.0 you're the main target because of your radar and missiles, ez kills left and right.
Thanks for helping with my win rate!😂 your videos helps a lot!
Amazing video as always dude. After I started watching your videos a few weeks ago, I began implementing your tips and tricks, and it really has helped me improve a lot. Thank you very much for these amazing videos and keep up the good work!
Thanks mate, that's good to hear!
Man I love these videos. But I am afraid more people get good because of your tips. I know I have improved ALOT from these videos alone.
Haha, you just have to stay one step ahead of them
been trying out ways on how i would properly notch a fox3 when launched directly below me and the one you showed works, thanks!
The other notching video in the pinned comment has some more of these as well 👍

@MiGanFox3 I'll sure check it, also I subbed, very good and quality information.

"just notch bro"
"I'm trying cuhh leave me alone"😭🙏🏽🗣🗣
I believe in you
Awesome, thanks!
You're welcome 😄
Dodging like 16 missiles in most games, sometimes you cant avoid it. The biggest thing is situationally awareness, if you dont know where its coming from you wont be able to defeat it.
Yep positioning and situational awareness are always the 2 most important factors
You know I really feel the Ace Combat games and their clones have missed out on the fun mental chess game and intensity of fighting against the limitations of radar guided missiles, by instead just simply going "Turn hard enough and they miss"
War Thunder (air rb) sits in that unique position between arcade and sim. For all it's faults it really has no competition in that regard. I used to love ace combat but since getting into top tier I can't really enjoy it anymore
@MiGanFox3 same here, I think War Thunder has that perfect blend of arcade controls with more sim systems that make it fun and engaging.
Great video! Kinda offtopic but which postfx settings do you use?
Your game looks so nice!
This? imgur.com/a/gEsNmTa tbh I hadn't even noticed the button to open that up in the new graphics settings haha so those are all unchanged by me.

helped me a lot thx! Also what keybinds are you using to drop chaff and flare seperate?
I have flare on caps lock and chaff on shift (so I can hit either with little finger of my left hand). Works for me because I don't use shift as a modifier
I also have flare on mouse wheel (along with throttle). That's actually a neat tip I should mention in a video at some point, if you then mouse wheel quickly you'll cut burner and put a burst of multiple flares in the air super quick

What is the timing of this video , the fact that I was wondering about an updated video about nothching with the new top tier fox 3s and I see this
May have to cover it soon again as well, depends if they change how the seekers etc. behave with the update
Your graphics in air rb seem to look really good. Since the update my missle trails look so much worse and contrails from other planes look bad too. think you could help me out... I feel like ive tried everything and i cant get back to my graphics looking good again
Someone asked a similar question recently, here's what I shared: imgur.com/a/4PhrknE
Great video bro. Which is better j10 or mirage 5ei
J-10 for me is better all around, M2K I would say is more fun to play
what do you think about eurofighter aand raphale?
Been looking forward to both, Dev server only just opened so need some time to play them a bit
And remember everything works in any jet unless you su27
SU-27 can work fine, the 27SM especially can. The 13.0 SU-27 is one of the more capable non fox-3 planes that faces fox-3s
@MiGanFox3 until u click chaff
Notching rarely works for me. especially against f14's in 12.0. I just can't notch their Farkours and its so annoying.
Fakours are a bit funky it's not you don't worry, make sure you defend early and change your altitude as you notch, they don't seem to care much for chaff
You Sound Like TEC
Well,good luck puting presure on the enemy when you fight with a non fox 3 plane against fox 3's.
Yep, the planes sitting around 13.0 that don't have fox-3s are in a rough spot
The F-16 ADFis suffering in the current meta, it's an absolute boat and it only has 2 sparrows. The tornado ADV is on a better spot than the ADF, we need 14.0 for top tier.
Tbh, I stopped playing top tier until I found your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙂
You're welcome!
