Hey guys, Got a new episode in my tutorial series for you today. We're focussing on Energyfighting today, which is a Vital part of Air RB Gameplay! One of the three main flightstyles for Fighter aircraft. And can seem very complex at first glance. Hope you enjoy, and Hope it Helps! Dont forget to Like, Comment, SHARE and Subscribe for more! Also make sure to join me on Locals, Rumble and Twitter. Have a great day folks!
*_I remember that Ki-84 fight. He showed up high above us with a huge energy advantage, with you in a plane that didn’t excel at high altitude. He never stood a chance!_*
Positional energyfighting, that's the term i was looking for! The fight that's not a gunfight. It's the hardest part of the game IMO. It's a bit like chess. A video devoted to this topic is one I've been looking for (hint hint). Thanks for the tutorials!
Jengar is the goat 🐐 Started playing War Thunder about 2 years ago and have used this YT channel solely, for game tips and some relative understanding of certain planes’ capabilities. (Actually just got done binge watching some of your vids at 4:15 AM after hopping off 😂) I became a better pilot in a matter of days! You were the first one to teach me about situational awareness. Keep on keeping on Jengar! Your work matters 🫡
@@jengar6258 Crazy I watched your videos when I first played like 9 years ago and I come back after a long break to brush up on skills and you're still here uploading videos
I really appreciate the fact that you have these simple and complete tutorials it’s really unlike most other War Thunder content out there! Keep up the good work man
Thank you for making these videos, Jengar. I have learned so much from them and you have really helped me improve! You are by far my favorite WT RUclipsr and I always look forward to your content.
I'm bad at this game, especially with aiming, and i play rarely. But the most satisfying fights i remember were when i was able to trick my oppenents in a drop a rope. Your yt channel is really good.
I had played this game in 2016 , and about 3 months later I had stopped I couldnt understand how to play etc Came back to the game 3 months now and watch and listen a lot of your videos while working, starting to getting some pleasure in game, realistic battles are tought dough, either I'me the only player at 5000m or I have 4 enemys with all my team mates fighting at 2000m Can get some games with 2 or 3 kills but its hard, think I've not choose the best tree for what i like to do, americans usually climbs bad, and they turn bad as ..... Triyng to get to rank V at least before strating another country air tree Thanks for the vids and all the work 😘🇵🇹💪
we all know the moment, when u have the perfect energy advantage, you perform a nice spiral climb, the enemy takes it, he gets really slow, you land perfectly on top of the enemy, only to be shredded by the 109 f1 below you that simply refuses to fall out of the sky
@Xavier Just to add, situational awareness helps too. If you notice someone has been ground pounding a minute ago 3km's below you, and now they are at a similar altitude, you can assume they wasted alot of energy climbing and as long as you have kept your speed up, you will most likely be at an advantage.
@@xavier4519 I mean... sometimes in this kind of videos, you see both players climbing. Let's say, Jengar is above the enemy both in the vertical, and Jengar knows he will win, and so it happens, enemy stalls without hitting one single round. In my case (an example of a thing I struggle with) I try to do the same, but enemy outclimbs me, or they stall but still manage to hit. That's the thing I know I have to improve, but I don't know how
@@brunobautista6316 bleed they energy. it comes from how safe you want or can be which comes down to how many people are around usually. if you got the alt then get a little speed and go around the enemy, if he follows he'll be bleeding his energy throughout the entire thing and you can just wait for the moment he falls from the sky. look up rope a dopes
I'm sure this is good information, but I always get demolished in air battles, doesn't help that I fly planes like the buffalo and wilcat I do the recommended "side climb, bnz" but when I try and break away it always seems like the enemy catch up to me and kill me. Too aggressive and I over commit then get whipped in a dogfight, too passive and I get only a few hits no kills and lose the match.
I know your condition, i have The same problem. The thing is you have to know your Enemy, i finally understood When you Play Boom N Zoom Plane your tactics when you Cant reliably kill your enemy is just running away, if they catch you, around 1.5km i break and fly under them. I do this 2-3 times, sometimes They get bored and fly away😂. But i always look for the Best ocassion
the problem is war thunder is a grinding game so in matches all you want to do is get in and get out as quick as possible so no one bothers climbing and sits on the floor ground pounding
Can you do a tutorial on how to avoid boom n zoom, as well as defensive maneuvers? I'm grinding italian tech tree and is honestly mixed, it has turning fighters and boom n zoom I already mastered turning fights, but I keep getting kill by boom n zoom fighters because I don't know how to avoid them.
Hi Jengar, watched you videos for some times already. With all the movement you made with aircraft was pretty cool, but i have question about keyboard usage, regarding camera and mouse combination. How do u aim? Using mouse or keyboard. Whenever i use camera, i have to press C button constantly with the mouse . But when i want to aim and move the plane, i have to release the C and it trigger back to plane central focus HUD, and i lost the vision of the opponent while dogfighting and that ruin the whole picture to manouver. Probably if possible, u can explain this how u maintained the aim. Or is it different keyboard setup or other skills? It looks like u never release C button at all like how i look in ur game.
@@jengar6258 ... nice to hear ... especially in times like these ... would you mind doing a video about the new premium german FW190 A5 U14 ... it`s got a torpedo ...
THANK YOU JENGAR. I was looking for a tutorial on energy fighting after my recent purchase of the XP-50! (No I’m not a noob with a premium, I just got it because people said it was a fun plane since it can do everything)
@@levoderso7469 I’m a mid player who’s always played the P-51 line. Yes BnZ is definitely a variation of energy fighting but dogfighting with energy is where I struggle.
Bit of a sad answer Levo, really knowing energyfighting only comes with time. You know that as well as i do, everyone at one point didnt have a clue what they were doing in warthunder.
You should really do a series on bfm, man. I would love to learn more, but not everything they teach is applicable in war thunder. Just do an energy fighting bfm video with the best maneuvers and a breakdown of when to do them and why. That would be awesome, man.
This might be the millionth tutorial I've seen on how to gain an energy advantage, and I am still absolutely none the wiser why tf having an energy advantage makes a difference. Is it a race, like the faster one or quicker diver wins? How does "energy is good because energy because energy is good" actually relate to shooting an opponent?
The first time I got it was in a p-400. I dove down on a bunch of low altitude dog fighters and completely bungled my shot. A pair of them immediately turned around on me, and I admit I just kind of admitted defeat and basically travelled in a straight line occasionally jinking around as the shots went past waiting for the trip back to the hangar. A few seconds later the shots stopped, and I looked around. They were 2km away from me, with gap widening fast. They didn't have the energy I did, and couldn't keep up. So I started climbing again, and was able to come back for another go at my leisure. Not going to say I cleaned up the enemy team that day, and I've been caught out many times since then (and also still suck at aiming). But energy gives you options over your opponents.
Also, approach every plane as if they are experienced and never assume someone who starts the match ground pounding to be some idiot noob. I don't know how many times I've seen P-51's and Fw-190's not climb and start ground pounding at the start of a match. I know. I've made that mistake. Bled all my altitude to go chase after what I thought was a noob, only for the noob to fly circles around me. Some people just prefer to bait unsuspecting, greedy players like me and they are good at it. I used to fly very risky and go after what I thought was easy kills. Now I just assume everyone is experienced and are baiting, just waiting for me to make an ill-advised aggressive move so they can reverse me and shoot me down. Matches take a bit longer now, but I'm a bit more successful.
That’s an interesting point as I almost never go for ground pounders as I’m a high alt player. But that’s something to think about people baiting you into losing your advantage. I might even try that sometime!
extreme simplification there, everything in the end has energyfighting involved in it. In essence B&Z is energyfighting, but is such a solidly identifyable style that its a seperate style.

That Ki-84 fight was fun to watch. Well done from both sides. When he almost got that reverse in the end I gasped.
it definitely agree, it was one of those fights you remember :)
I really appreciate the fact that you have these simple and complete tutorials it’s really unlike most other War Thunder content out there! Keep up the good work man

What a shot at 8:44
we all know the moment, when u have the perfect energy advantage, you perform a nice spiral climb, the enemy takes it, he gets really slow, you land perfectly on top of the enemy,
only to be shredded by the 109 f1 below you that simply refuses to fall out of the sky
it happens, when we dont estimate the energy of the enemy correctly compare to what we have.
@@jengar6258 the f1 has the magic ability, to get the guns on target in a stall, while almost standing in the air :D
had to learn it the hard way :D
@@certaindeath7776 its a great energy fighter thats for sure ;) the aim is the pilot though.
Nice Jengar!
ty sir! o7
I always struggle to identify wheter I have the advantage or not (who's going faster/who's going to end up going faster)
it comes from experience, observing the closure rate goes a long way
@Xavier Just to add, situational awareness helps too.

Hi Jengar nice video. Can you make tutorial for reversal 🙂
Defensive flying covers a lot. watch that one.
I'm sure this is good information, but I always get demolished in air battles, doesn't help that I fly planes like the buffalo and wilcat I do the recommended "side climb, bnz" but when I try and break away it always seems like the enemy catch up to me and kill me.

yeah, its a shame gaijin doesnt encourage correct gameplay.

i already have tutorials up on both of those subjects. Check the tutorial playlist.
@@jengar6258 thank you!
@@elnewbie2611 np!
What are the key attributes of a good energy fighter? Which models are good examples? Love your work!
Planes with high Power to weigh ratio, and good acceleration. Bf 109 is example of that
Good energy retention is also a helpful attribute.
How do you zoom in without locking on

once you start moving with the keyboard, you can use the mouse to look around without the c key. practice it in test flight.
@@jengar6258 Noted.. Thank you Jengar.
Thank you so much for tips ..when rank 3 us is coming?
soonish!
@@jengar6258 yayyy
What is your favorite nation to play for props?
Italia they have great planes and get air belt ammo at rank 2
damn man, i dont really have one. I have favorites in all ranks of all nations. Bit cheesy maybe, but its the truth.
what type of ammo do you use?
air targetsif you have them then or ap he or he-ap
depends on the caliber, and the nation ;)
Informative...

no shame sirius, there's a huge difference between knowing the basics and mastering energyfighting. Very few have done the latter.
Bit of a sad answer Levo, really knowing energyfighting only comes with time. You know that as well as i do, everyone at one point didnt have a clue what they were doing in warthunder.
