I would love Air RB with respawns. Like allow us one fighter/strike/interceptor and one bomber. It could even be another game mode so that regular Air RB can stay.
Air RB is not warfare, takin grounds, any base etc. is irrelevant. High rank battles are just air domination to last man alive. Using it only to reseach and update new plane fast with boosters.
this was the War Thunder video I needed from you, it was hilarious, like a completely different game - now i wanna see low tier arcade, and playing RB with a controller, pls Phly🙏🏼
Holy hell you are on point. I laughed my ass off. I always thought the further I progressed in the game, the worser I got. Turns out that it got progressively so hard, that I couldn’t keep up. This was the positive vibe and fun I needed in a while 👍🏻👍🏻. And I always played Air arcade, not air realistic battles… which I just realised. 😂😂😂😂
In nearly every one of those matches, you were up against a 4-player squad, VPO, who were probably coordinating on Discord. It's very difficult to get the upper hand in those situations.
Hey Phly! I've been playing a lot of AAB at 9.7 lately. It seems like the meta right now is to 1.Hit and run 2.Stay away from groups of enemies 3.Don't get too attached to one guy. If you feel like you aren't gonna land the kill within 15 seconds and your not in a good spot disengage and reposition so your team can help you. (Couple of extra tips) -Turning your afterburners off will help make your flares more effective when fleeing. -when dodging a missed that's coming at you from 3k+ fly in one direction for a couple of seconds than do a 180 and go the other direction. The missle won't be able to pull enough g's to compensate for the prior lead it had before you turned.
I love Air Arcade because of how little sense it makes, it's a nice change from Ground RB...also Phly, I always, without fail, ALWAYS do better somehow when I have my wing smoke on. Everyone can see you anyways, and I love when one other person turns their on, then another and another and then the entire sky is full of smoke trails. So worth it
Phly... I completely understand, you could have just enough. Or phamily, or whatever. But I'm sure you can spend a minute and let us know what's going on, are you coming back or not... Lack of comms is quite frustrating :( but still, best luck to you, hope everything is fine
Yeah it’s not that difficult it takes two minutes on any platform to communicate. I know we all have a life we all have troubles and hardships half of us have kids and many of our kids struggle too.
Hi Phly! Currently I’m just a Saturday night away from having achieved 1000 hours in war thunder, and it’s is special to me. You and OddBaws have bin such a inspiration since I started playing this game and I love what you are doing for the rest of the community. My only "1000 hours in War Thunder"-wish is to get someone to play with me. Of all the 992 hours spent in the game, i think I only have played with other people via Discord for 5 hours. Again love your content and I am happy to be a part of such a great community!
VPO in top tier air arcade is basically like a full squad of top tier ground rb players where 1 distracts you and keeps you where you are while the other 3 flank you. But still, doing well in air AB isnt as easy as RB fanatics assume.
Literally just loaded war thunder as I got the notification lol, great vids as always and do hope banks is having the time of his life, keep up the great work!!!
air arcade is amazing up to about 6.3, then its kinda meh and its better to switch over to RB, but i recently found out that air arcade at 9.7 is super fun too, because there are a lot of premium plane players! :D
Welp another 2 months and he’ll be back don’t worry (we miss you phly where you at we need that content your starving us we were so exited then it’s like ya got blown up by a sturmtiger
Arcade jets is legit just jumping into Ace Combat multiplayer at Ace difficulty, 1-2 rockets is all you need, and there are 100 rockets flying everywhere + an infinite supply being loaded straight into your plane every 30-40 seconds
19:15. Gotta love how he gets hit by the first missile, and then just cuts the clip after getting hit by the second. But, top-tier does seem really hard. I've never made it there yet, but it's sure a handful by the looks of things.
6:10 They are not such professional players, they just work as a team. While one distracts you, the other shoots you. I think if you want to beat them, try to hunt them one by one. Go behind the mountains and attack unseen. Or you will have to have your own team. They are constantly using this tactic to be good at rankings (VPO, GUUD all the same).
Yup as soon as I saw the VPO tag I knew he'd get shot down from behind while he was aiming for another. On their own most VPO players arent even that excellent
A small tip: put your flares/chaff between you and the missile, if you pump out the ECMs behind the plane and the missile comes from the front, you will still get targeted most of the time. There are, however, times when the missile will resist ECMs and fly trough them (especially if you launch them too late and they're too close to your plane).
@@DZ-1987 it's ideal to know what missile you're facing, otherwise the flares will only make a sweet visual spectacle before you blow up. For example, Phoenix missiles can always be dodged if you hard pull before hitting you and in 9/10 cases they will come from the front (so flaring will not help), slower missiles under 1.7M can also be kept away if you have more than 1.5km distance and accelerate the plane to the max (usually works with planes with top speed around Mach 2). If there's a missile like Aim-7-E2 or F, R-24R/T or Matra Magic 2, it's very likely you'll be dead, if you don't have the missile coming from the rear at over 1km away to have the opportunity at least to bait out the missile with Flares/Chaff.
@@epicdaviii6392 Yes, and there's also a Community tab where he can take 30 seconds to tell his loyal fanbase he's going to be taking another break lol. Anyway, he announced on Twitter that he is indeed taking another week off for Thanksgiving.
Don’t worry guys, Phly prolly just had to move again real quick. We will hear something soon. Phly is would NEVER do anything remotely close to what other channels do and randomly leave his Phans on read for 3 months randomly.. right? 😜😂
I remember one time i accidentally went into a 10.0 air ab match with a fw190a4…There was one other guy (enemy) who was in a jaguar gr1. I spent 10 min hunting this guy in my fw190. I eventually ended up killing him twice. Still the most fun i’ve accidentally had in War Thunder
Did he go on another break lol its been 7 days. It's awsome that he has a family and it's amazing the content he post I just miss my work lunch break videos and the amount of stuff I have learned by watching him me and my cuz both are good at warthunder and I got to give a little credit to phly
Air arcade is way more fun than air realistic for me, I just wish people would stop acting like realistic is the only way for people to have said fun or "You're bad if you play arcade"
13:40 the bullet sound is a glitch, warthunder will play the bullet hit sound as a global sound instead of a local sound I think it happens whenever a player dies to gunfire
It’s very obnoxious. I can’t stand the one and done with air RB so when I need an easy task I just on prop AABs and that noise make you check everything every time.
the real challenge in this video was the 4 hours inbetween games phly spent searching for enough players to start a battle

It would not be so bad if those vpo bots didnt ruin it for everyone
@@joshkilluminadi7158 haven't played in a long time, mind elaborating on the vpo bots?

I don’t think I have ever seen phly loose his mind like he did in this video
10,000 hours of RB translated into Arcade. OMG, NOOOOO, Ohh ohhh, Ahhh! Ay, Ay, Ay and from that point on his brain just stuttered until the end.
"We'll see you tomorrow"
12 Days later.... Here we go again lol
take it you're done with youtube at this point
Getting a strong Deja Vu vibe here
My favourite part of air AB is the multiple spans. You can go conter that heavy bomber after the flyby duel in your heavy bomber.
My favorite passtime is taking a heavy bomber with lots of defensive guns and trying to get my gunners to shoot down other bombers
He’s pulling a frankie on us isnt he
I actually really enjoy the air arcade maps. I’ve dodged so many missiles because there is amazing terrain to maneuver around.
You also forget missiles are not buffed to counter the insane flight models so all you need to do it pull one way then rapidly pull the other way.
Yep,... that's what I thought. Warmed up leftovers and half assed new shreds. Dude,... good luck vanishing into insignificance.
Idk after this i think he shouldve just stayed away and do what makes him happy.
As an Air AB player I was in tears the entire video 😂😂😂 Love you Phly! This video was so entertaining 😂😂😂
War thunder is such an addicting game to me, sometimes the game is so good you just can’t quit
In nearly every one of those matches, you were up against a 4-player squad, VPO, who were probably coordinating on Discord. It's very difficult to get the upper hand in those situations.
Arcade tryhards xD
Yeah, must be a squadron of mostly top-tier air arcade, since there seems to be so many of them every battle
VPO is incredibly cancerous and sweaty, i can at least give them credit for not being at low tiers (oh wait they do that too)
Half of them are bot always on at all hours of the day and night
