When I look at this plane It makes me think of the A6 intruder. It might be because of the side by side crew, or the positioning of the engine intakes.
This plane used to be god tier in sim back when it had radar aim assist. It was so cool how it worked, lock your target and the sight would disappear and float independent of the glass. Line up the sight centered on the target and it was a guaranteed kill.
@@ianturner3926 yeah it also had it in Sim too. It was funky since you had both the green line and circle and the floating sight. The floating sight was so cool tho, wish it were back, cmon gaijin, atleast just in Sim.
I just realized what makes your commentary so good. you talk about the plane and pilot skill in conjunction in easy to understand ways and you don't shy away from criticizing yourself. Thanks man.
1:55 to 2:12 Even though this isn't a prop video exactly what DEFYN says here applys very well to sideclimbing in props when facing teams with better climbing planes. Especially for US in mid tier props sometimes it better to sideclimb a bit and have more patience than the enemies and wait for an opportunity to be useful. Rather than groundpounding instead of climbing or full commit headon against the first guy you come across. US players follow this advice!
in air these days if u have patience u will just end up getting no kills, everybody else is impatient and being patient may save ur plane but it wont get u any kills sometimes
Hi Defyn, appreciate the emphasis on explain why you target the different planes and in particular thinking about the team, to help the overall win. Good stuff.
I cant tell you how many times I've wrongly assumed I had more energy than someone but dam is it ever satisfying when you completely stall someone out.
Yeah, from what I've seen of the Skyknight from playing it, it's basically like a 262 Jabo except it's better in almost every conceivable way. Better engines, better maneuverability, better guns, better bombs, slightly better survivability. Everything the 262 can do, the Skyknight does better. Currently sitting at a 3:1 kill:death ratio, absolute monster.
Hey DEFYN, hope you week has been good. I generally haven’t seen a lot of griffon spit videos lately, would you consider flying one of them out or do you not take requests for vehicles?
I believe on his Venom video he talked about how he doesn’t enjoy planes like those because you opponents must make a mistake or something like that. You can check it out, the video came out recently too!
@@IHaevATajpo still have the same problem where everyone see the spitfire tag over your plane and people run from you and you can't catch them unless they make a mistake or you spend the the entire game at altitude driving on people but there are planes that do it better and it's alot of doing nothing in that play style. There is a video by squishface someone who i know defyn watches that has a video on the topic of why content creators don't touch the 5.7 griffin spits
@@liammartinez1484well in my experience the Mk.14e was fairly good, it climbs well, it’s got brutally good acceleration and it’s decently fast and it really doesn’t feel like your average hold S to win plane, so from my point of view I really don’t see what makes it so bad all the content creators won’t touch it. Oh well, I guess it’s just me
Hey DEFYN! Love your vids, easily the most informative CC on the scene, I find myself revisiting your vids often to brush up on energy management and stuff and I have 44d in fighters lol could you revisit the Dora's? They're 5.0 now and I've found lots of success in the D12 the last couple weeks.
that guy at the end 23:20 was still following you because it was the guy who called you lucky because he had no ammo in the chat, or that was the game he had no ammo
Luckily you are competent enough to play without exploiting the OP windshield wiper system. Many noob jet pilots don’t figure out how to use them properly and get killed easily.
“Because I don’t want them to do their attacks and then by the time I get back they’re done and we’ve possibly lost teammates for no real benefit” -I’m paraphrasing there but that’s my absolute biggest annoyance with teammates. They just do not understand that they need to intervene when enemies are going after friendlies because they gain absolutely nothing by waiting for teammates to get shot down.
Unless said teammate is a prop fighter who didnt climb, went for ground targets, and then started crying when the enemy team dives on them, those people both aremt worth saving and just get you killed.
My problem is that even when I try to help, they either fly away from everybody while screaming for help, or they fly head on with me, guaranteeing I can't get around the guy before they die.
hay DEFYN would it be possible to you to make a similar video to your energy fighting vids on how to set up at the begiining of games i always seem to be on the back foot even in good planes because i climb to the wrong location or not at the optimal angle and would like to know what you do differently/ what i could improve on in terms of the early game set up in Air RB
Don't overclimb. The first mistake I see all the time after people start actually climbing in air RB is that they climb too slowly. If you are going too slow you arent actually gaining altitude any faster, youre probably cooking your engines, and you aren't gonna get to the middle of the map soon enough. Side climbing isnt about just going towards the edge of the map, you want to cut out from the airfield and then turn back in across the path of your teammates about halfway through your climb. You pretty much always want to use MEC while climbing, and if your plane needs to switch supercharger gears at a certain altitude I usually use that time to make my turn.
hey Defyn, great videos as usual. Helping me out heaps with my flying. I have a question though. I'm trying to grind up through rank5 atm and I've got two US planes unlocked, the F84B-26 and the F3D-1. Which is better to grind with in Air RB and Ground RB? Cheers
What USA plane you consider the best option for air combat like you doing with F3D in this video at this same BR 7.0? The F3D itself, F84, F80 or anything else?
From my experience I'd say it's f-80, because it turns the best out of 3, but here again you only have 50 cals, I'd pick F3D for sb anyday, and I'm looking forward to research it for that
This was my favourite jet, and virtually the only one I enjoyed playing, until they nerfed AN/M3s into the ground for no good reason. Head-on monster with the twin pilots and twin engines, very tanky.
I wish I could move and look around (I probably could but I'd need to change my buttons and with barely any on controller it becomes a little harder) because I reckon I would be just a little bit better at flying
@@XSpamDragonX i play controller, also i can look and move around, that was 6 months ago lmfao. The only problem I'm having now is that the look speed is so slow for controller that i had the bind a look back button
please, what is the best plane cannons elevation setting? is it 400m ? i saw in the head-on, you started shooting at around 1.7 km with a little compensation for the drop-off. Is this all played at 400m setting? Edit: nvm found the tutorial video AND noticed it!s in your vid description :) Liked&Subbed
@DEFYN - Could you please make a vid how to fight with RY2Y V1 I just unlocked all three variants due to them being taken away by Gajin but I'm getting absolutely slaughtered each time I fly it. Thanks and love your vids. Cheers
Honestlly i was afraid of trying this plane, i liked it on paper, but i got burned very much with some other striker airfs 'cause i only play fighters. But having played me 262 a1 a lot and enduring that torture, i might as well give it a go to this plane.
Every time DEFYN says “He’s slow, very easy shot” I feel personally attacked knowing I’ve missed that shot 9/10 times
Sigh... same, same.
It's just practice.
Thats probably because you have 1/1000 of the hours of this beastie boy
Same but don't give up, à lot of practice and try to see where is yours mistake. DEFYN you are awesome ! 👍
When I see this plane, I think 2 engines, side by side crew, big bombs = A6 intruder
2 engines, 2 crew members, 20mm cannon, funny radar, wacky maneuverability, strong flaps = basically a Tomcat

Except I've turned on РУСЯ - ВОРОЖКА on maximum volume of course.
I always found the F3D criminally underrated for its BR. It’s fantastic for 7.0!
The greatest advantage of flying this plane is the prop that eats jets for breakfast is usually on your side
I wish all F2D players would try to play like this instead of clowning about with bombs and blindfolds.
Well I'm gonna try it now.
Just got and it’s my favorite early jet
@@danielzhang5395 it's the jet I recommend to people as their first jet

The only issue with sideclimbing is leaving US air RB teams alone for any portion of the match lmao

The 262 wasn't taunting you or raging. He was being cheeky.
thats what i was thinking
with tunnel-vision like that, there's definitely a little salt involved
Hi Defyn, appreciate the emphasis on explain why you target the different planes and in particular thinking about the team, to help the overall win. Good stuff.
YES THANK YOU! I've been trying to figure out how to play this thing for a while now.
FINALLY the Skybus is my favorite early jet, so happy you made a video on it Defyn ‼‼
There absolutely needs to be a collaboration with Ace Combat so we can get an official Razgriz skin on the F-14.
I cant tell you how many times I've wrongly assumed I had more energy than someone but dam is it ever satisfying when you completely stall someone out.
The battle bus is genuinely my favorite thing to fly
shot at 3:45 was nuts!

With US teams, you have to play as a paramedic or a babysitter lol

Lovely to see nice content about this plane defyn!!
The F3D is a BEAST in ground RB!
2x 2000 lb bombs AND a radar that's useful because I'm blind? sounds like I have a replacement for my F6F-5N
@@lucascousins6934 yes! I love it the only "bad" thing is it's low acceleration but, it's an early jet so its ok

That acrobatic smoke just killed the me 262a in the first game..
Ayyy, Super Noodle was the first kill of the first match.
My first american jet, great plane for Ground RB too
I forgot this plane even existed but awesome video
I'm glad this isn't in the naval line because compared to the other blue navy jets this thing is s tier
that guy at the end 23:20 was still following you because it was the guy who called you lucky because he had no ammo in the chat, or that was the game he had no ammo
Defyn's videos are educational and really entertaining.
F4c vid ?? Maybe ? A shorter one ? . Or just top tier how to video ?
Watching this in 2024 and noticing the amount of players in each team,almost doubled today ... feels bad
Only just trained my pilot for the F3D-1, assumed it'd be a bit of a boat. Turns out I quite like it, bit awkward to aim but hits hard.
Lol the guy chasing you in the me262 at the end was that same HuSp derrio guy from the earlier matches. He was trying to get revenge 🤣
Or the games are out of order and this is where he says Defyn got lucky.
DerDeerio really wanted to appear in the video.
Damn its sliphantom 0:18 on a me 262
Fun plane and great video!!
I try this exact tactic, and Die every time first thing.
