Hey Defyn, is there anyway for you to try out the V.B.10 (either version)? I don't know why people don't play them but I just spaded them and they seem to me they're a slightly worse version of a P-47. Got a few 6 kills matches with them and most I've been getting 2-3 on average. The European Canadian is the only other "big" WT youtuber that has a video on it, and on it I saw the hangar x-ray analysis and it seems it has even more HP and an airspawn, compared to 4 years ago. Is there something I'm missing or am I getting lucky? IBeen having a blast with it, specially at higher alts if I can drag engagements that high.
Hey defyn can you pls give me some tips on how to play the MiG 19S? I keep dying in it, not to mention always blacking out even though I have maxed G tolerance and stamina.
Don't keep holding the elevator, use Neg G to prevent blacking out, max crew doesn't matter if you go too fast and turn too hard your pilot Will black out, so you should Neg G whenever you are close to blacking out
Reminder that it was THIS jet and the Lightning that caused gaijin to get rid of the 9.7 hard cap for air RB. You can thank the British tech tree and gaijin's incompetence every time your F100, F86-D, G91YS or CL13 gets clapped by an F4 with Aim9 Es
The F86 D doesn't exist in the game, the F100 and YS were above the BR cap, AIM9Es are only marginally better than Bs and the F100 has them, the Phantoms' best IR missiles are AIM9Js and AIM9Ps, F86 Sabres can't face any Phantom that has them, the US also received Harriers, and those were added months after the BR cap was removed.

If you play the game poorly and require AA cover to stay alive, you lost. Die to the person that outplayed you and go next, getting rewarded with an insta kill death bubble for misplaying is the furthest thing from a fair.
Why would I just present my inexperienced ass on a golden plater to the other player if the game developers have provided us with some sort of a mechanism to help me turn the tide to my favor? If it is not a hack or blatant breach of the game’s security then why not use it? Because certain people of the community decided it’s not cool? Still doesn’t make sense why people frown on it.
@@randomv3iwer You are never going to get experience if base AA is always bailing you out of situations you played poorly. That is the issue, its a compensation for a lack of skill. TLDR : L2P
Then don't get in a situation where you present your ass on a golden plater. Getting out of every bad situation because of a shitty mechanic will keep you inexperienced forever. You fucked up, deal with it. Why even play the game if you let the game play for you
@i330 no arguments on need for improving skills. For someone who has a lot to learn in my case, I’d still gamble and make a run for the “safe zone” when situation calls for. Be that a damaged plane, ammo replenishment, or just straight up gambling. As for @DEFYN, don’t hate the player, sweetie. Hate the game. Giving up so easily because the other pilot seems to have the upper hand is kind of a weak defeated attitude. I play for fun and time killing. If I score then that’s good. If I don’t then better luck next time.
i just wanna ask one of the maneuvers that defyn use in props is where when he has much better energy and an enemy is behind him is he's gonna do a vertical version of a barrel role until the enemy starts to bleed its energy the after that he will do a horizontal one circle right, and then kill the enemy with almost zero energy. right? cuz one time I was playing with my squadron and I did that trick and he told me that I shouldn't do a vertical even tho I think he doesn't know that Im doing a vertical barrel roll of sort. and now I'm having doubts about my skills as a air rb player XD, I mean I usually win when I try to pull those maneuver but yeah starting to have doubts.
Well, verticals will hemorrhage your energy and convert it into alt, still leaving you an extremely easy target to someone else, if they can reach you. But, assume you're alone in the situation you describe with no possibility of getting jumped on. You'd just want to make sure you have good separation. You don't want to start a vertical if they're too close, otherwise they can still walk guns on target. That's why I might recommend going into a steep climb, but not 100% straight up, to kill their energy, and circle around, either vertically or horizontally, and you have a free kill. IIRC from the energy fighting vid, the Bf-109 may have a stronger engine and climb than a Spitfire, but the Spitfire has a lower stall speed and can prop hang for a little longer than a 109, for example.
@@LostParadise_ i see thanks welp all i wanted was to make then stall because they were still chasing me in a vertical spiral and then ill be focusing to dodge their nose for a while after they lose energy den ill pitch mh nose down and shoot them
What countermeasure type/ pattern to choose in toptier as mig27 player? Thanks! Why you include ammo and other selection under video but not countermeasure? Or it just does not matter?
I mostly run flares only but it depends on the matchmaker and the plane If I need chaff I will run mixed Flares reinforced gives you less pops I don't use a pattern i just press whenever i need them And for not having them in my description. Great point lol, I shall add them from now on
Yes and I don't use a pattern I just pop them when i press them. I don't even have if set up. I meant flare priority not reinforced my bad. Flares priority gives 2 flares + 1 chaff per pop Say you got 30 countermeasures you only het 10 pops With mixed you get 15 The extra flare doesn't really do that much so i dont recommend it
@@DEFYN series and period are two options at the start panel of a match that you have to set a choice (just as fuel and ammo). Also if I am playing mig27 they shoot radar missile in headon how to handle that? I pop mixed and turn but does not help :(
AV-8A is the US Harrier, and has tge same Pegasus engine as the Gr.3. Tge Gr.1 is an AV-8A with a weaker engine and SRAAMs. Tge GR.3 is an AV-8A with a weird nose and built-in countermeasures (instead of a countermeasure pod like on the AV-8A). AV-8C has a slightly more powerful engine, but is essentially a Gr.3 with the nose from an AV-8A (it should also have a refueling probe)
Hey Defyn, do you think the gr1 should stay at 10.0 because of insane close range missile? Or brought to 9.7 because no flares or rwr? I think it's a bit too much in an environment where anything else is faster and has more maneuverability, radar guided missiles etc... just want to debate it, no name callings pls
IMO it should go up to 10.3, SRAAMs are incredibly broken and it’s almost impossible to catch the thing for most subsonics. If they gave it countermeasures it would be worthy of 11.0, but it doesn’t get any, so it isn’t.

You can recover bad situations in the harrier gr.3, but can you recover the bad situation that is the current BR compression? :/
