I gotta add too, this is the first video in a while you sound like you are genuinely enjoying yourself -- more of this shit please! I don't care if you only ever fly the same dozen planes as long as you're having a blast I'm learning something and enjoying it!
I really enjoy your content. Three years ago I was convinced I sucked at dogfighting because I cannot use the keyboard to control my plane all that well. No feeling in my typing hand nerve damage. After watching awhile I began to realize that much of you skill really is the way you think and plan thru out the match. I think you said more than a few times the setup is as critical as the maneuvering. Anyway what I mean to say is thank you for helping me get better to the point I can now hold my own fairly well even though I still control my plane using mostly the mouse. P.S. I even have started to get better in jets and as a very old guy for whom things move too fast I am tickled pink.
DEFYN, the F-5E was designed to automatically extend its flaps/slats partially depending on the aircraft's AoA. If you deploy combat/takeoff flaps, it can turn a lot more quickly if needed.
u'd also bleed more speed. F-5E doesn't have a heck lot of thrust and it's maneuverable enough that in most cases u'd want to hold a bit more energy instead of turning a little bit faster
@@GooseOfYork I'm pretty sure Defyn knows about the flaps but he needs to keep his speed, I'm pretty sure he's going to win a stall fight even against that A-5C but there's always people around
Those deflection kills by the F5E always surprise me. I am used to mig 21 and its slow muzzle velocity. I am always imagining how the enemy plane must have pulled a cobra at mach to hit me but no he is giving almost no lead at 2500km/h mutual velocity.
I was going to talisman the F8E but this beauty got its BR lowered so I saved it for her. Absolutely fantastic plane, not exactly the fastest but I still love it.
I talismanned the F-8E one day before the BR changes were announced, If I held out for just one more day I would've talismanned this bad boy instead but the F-8E ain't half bad itself, I love trolling MiG-21S and A-5C's in space with the AIM-9C's
Yay a F-5E video! I've been grinding it a lot. If you're good with the F-5C, it's worth a talisman to grind out top tier imo. Got my first ever ace in it last night and was so happy! It's gotten me through about 300ishK of rp in around 6 hours of gameplay. At this rate, the F-16 will be mine this weekend. I also have my best kd ratio in it, being 120ish and 60ish. Not the best, but a good start. Side note: I bought the Su-25K to grind Russia next but haven't yet played it, as I'm waiting to finish out top tier America, or at least play the F-16 a bit. Any tips on how to play it/loadouts to take? (This is a ? for everyone, not just Defyn lol)
@@kingghidorah8106 im a 5c guy, my mate gifted it to me a few days ago, i'm at rank 5 now and the only things i've been tk'd by are a10s, f5c's crash alot tho
I have been enjoying this plane as a multirole fighter lately, i fly it in Simulator battles carrying AGM's and if need be the 30mm cannon. I target enemy ground targets, especially convoys, and i hsve become pretty effective and picking up thr enemy AA's with AGM's and then swooping in to clean the armours with the 30mm. And while at it i engage every Enemy air target i come across while on route to target or RTB'ing, i dont bother chasing them unless i ID them as really slow movers
@@kingghidorah8106 Just gotta put in the work in, shooting at bots that fly in straight lines in test fly is only going to get you so far. You'll suck at first but you'll get the hang of it if you stick with it
Defyn, this is 10 months later, you probably wont see it, but if you do, is it worth bringing Chaff or not? You didn’t but I have no clue if you have it unlocked. You didn’t seem to get radar missiles, and it does cut your flares in half, but it can also save your life so idk. It’s my fist plane with flares, I got the F-104A, F-100D and then the F4C and now this
F-5e is a fun jet I got it when it was it's original BR (I forgot) played 1 match stock.. never flew it again.. a friend told me the BR has been lowered and I had a lot of fun in it.. the F-5E stock is basically a spaded F-5c I went for the flares first then engine stuff to get those 9j missiles because stock you only get 9e
For months, I couldn't do well in any of the F-5's because of the guns. Don't know why, just couldn't lead. Maybe it's because i was so used to the early Russian jet guns that I had been grinding to spade since Christmas. Then like 2 weeks ago, something just clicked. I started hitting more planes with the F-5 cannons and grinding the American aviation tree has never been more fun. I still suck at the game and need to check my 6 more often, but killing the enemy has been a lot easier. And dare I say, I've actually been enjoying War Thunder.
I remember playing this a fair bit after the F16/mig29 update and getting into a 2v1 against the 29 with an F104... Literally could not do anything against him until he killed the F104 and then took a bad line which let me force a head-on. Nice to see the br drop but I've already researched everything in the US tree and the F5C gets me more SL. Not to mention I've been playing the SMT to grind the 29 myself - and of course the one single worst plane to face is probably the F5E, especially if the pilot knows what they're doing.
yeah the MiG-29 is way above the F-5E in terms of performance, that's not surprising. Really goes to show how BR compression turns planes from being useless to busted (or vice versa) with a tiny BR change
@@_ace_defective_ what bugs us off the most is how GAIJIN moves planes a higher rank above without increasing the BR. Oh you were grinding the MiG21 bis? FUCK YOU you didn't buy the SMT yet, locked!
F-5 my beloved, i picked the C up a while ago and grinded basically the entirety of the us air tree with it, it’s certainly one of my favorite planes in the game and despite being somewhat nerfed compared to when it first came out its still a very capable platform. Very glad i spent like >400 games in it c:
@@kingghidorah8106 the sparrow acts pretty weird in the game. Sometimes it will hit some insane shots, but sometimes it won’t even hit a high altitude easy target. Also, the maneuverability of the F16 above 800 kph is horrible. It’s the main reason why I prefer the Mig29
@@OzzyTheWild whenever I meet a MiG29 they're always slow and an easy target, I'm sure the f-16 is more noob friendly as it can hold the distance while changing position, much like the F-4E behaves when it sees a MiG21 bis. A properly used MiG29 can stomp an entire lobby, much like a properly used MiG21 bis. You can catch up a MiG29 that starts turning, but not an F-16. Having the same trait of the F-104 helps it a lot actually.
crazy, when that jet killed himself it didnt give u the kill, but when I jed out in a ground RB game at full health, it gave it to a random jets literally 3 miles away just cause he looked at me..
I'm not Defyn, but I'd talisman the F-5E, while the F-8E is a good jet, you'll get sucked into 10.7 games more than you would get sucked into 11.7 games with the F-5E. You can also use the F-5E in ground rb quite well too if you play it. Go anti-tank with the mavericks and anti-CAS with everything else it brings.
I've been playing my Kfir Canard at 10.7 for the last 2 days and it is insanely efficient grinding with all the terrible low level players flying F-5C's. I am getting like 3-4, sometimes 5 or 6, kills a game consistently, 10.7 match making is so good right now if you are trying to grind.
yes they are, they do really help you go one circle with a lot of stuff, but the point is he doesn't want to get slow. _He's not losing the fight to the target when going slow, but rather be third partied_
Would be great if you could do a video on the Harrier Gr.7 since the new BR and AIM-9L changes. I honestly don't know how to play it now since the Mig-29 and the F-16 were also introduced.
What about the F-5A vs. the F-5E in the Chinese tree? Both are the same BR, but there is a difference in top speed and weight, can you feel this difference in actual gameplay?
F-5A has the same flight performance as the F-5C and the Chinese F-5E is, well, exactly the same as the US one. And as mentioned in the video, the F-5A/C are lighter and therefore turn a bit better (it's somewhat noticeable) but hold their energy less well, especially at lower speeds, which in turn does lower your turn radius at the cost of your energy. Whereas the F-5E accelerates faster at lower speeds, holds energy better at all speeds (energy retention near and above mach 1 is similar for both planes) but turns slightly less hard due to the higher weight. Topspeed differences are only noticeable at high altitudes when flying in a straight line for a long time. At the deck and in more practical situations, the F-5A/C and F-5E have the same top speed.
Defyn, can you make a guide with prop plane how to actually dogfight? I'm a pretty new player, i grinded the german air line until rank 3 fighters (109s f4,g2 and fw190s) where i struggle the mosts. Most of times when i met better enemy planes or experience, somehow they just knew how to dogfight, turning my advantages, and all of a sudden im the one losing. Most of the times, when dogfighting i always have 1 goal which is getting to the enemy's tails (no matter how do i achieve that i just need to get into his tail, most of the times its messy). So i don't really know, what to do in a dogfight, using advantages, how to counter the enemy and so on. Almost all of my kills are from boom and zooming which doesn't always work. I just don't know what to do in a situation (mostly just mindless rolling, stalling, diving that gets me killed)
lol I've tried to convince him for months, he ain't going to fly that, even less now after Realshitter If you know what that thing is, and you fly it, you're a chad even if you're negative If you don't know what it is: it's basically a Tempest MkV with bad roll and slower than a spitfire lf mk9. I like it but you have to play absolutely braindead and make your presence at the start of the game, because lately you will lose your WEP and people will latch onto you.
The f5e has lost all charm to me at 10.7. Even with a 30mm gunpod you basically outperform everything you face, other than other f5s. Swatting mig29s with airburst zuni rockets was much more fun.
@@deepanwitabiswas7514 wdym by full authority? You mean the ability to fully deflect control surfaces? Or the ability to control your engine? Or the ability to control your aircraft near the ground?
@@wfb.subtraktor311 I feel that when flying the Ariete in anything other than a full uptier, it’s flight performance is so perfect that every subsonic aircraft is incapable of winning a dogfight. I still enjoy bullying a10s and su25s by throttling down during the merge, and murdering supersonics who think they can stall me out by climbing straight.
first game with it I got a 9k, second game a 7k third game an 8k, havent played it again so maybe it was luck, but felt hella good to play it other than the spark cannons since gaijin nerfed them, worth the rediculous 18k repair cost since you wont be paying it most of the times
Yes and no. They are obviously very similar, but they have different advantages. F5e has better engine and better missiles. F5c has more flares, better turn radius, better battle rating, more bombs ( even if you shouldn’t use them in air rb)
its very unlikely youll answe and even more unlikely youll remember, but im looking for one of you videos that starts with like 3/5 minute long montage of you getting kills in the plane with maybe a german national sounding song. I just cannot find the video.
How do you outrun these things. It seems like every time I’m in an JA37 for some reason they can’t leave my ass. They’re weirdly harder to deal with than all F-4s I’ve seen so far
What do you do with the 2x AIM-9E at this BR (while grinding the F5E). Should you just dump them on an AI YAK-38 or keep for the good looks of the plane?
I personally dump them on bots when i grind for its mods, just making sure to secure some useful rp when you are still not at full capability. Sometimes there will be some 0 awareness enemies that you can sniff its ass and let the heat seeking bird fly out to f em in the ass.
The F5e gotta be the funnest plane at 10.7, your targeted less, people pay attention less, even in uptiers I average 2- 3 kills with guns or 9J and if the 9J is below 0.8Km the 9J ignores flares, recommend the plane if you want a good plane and a fun plane and I know there's usually no fun planes at top tier, this is one of the only ones, mig 21 is also fun and A10 can be fun too, reason being BRRRT and also its a funny dogfighter
Please everyone, don’t play this thing and leave the statistics low. At least until I unlock the F16, then I won’t need it to grind and it can move from 10.7
10.7 matchmaking is really favorable now. I played 30 ish battles in the F-104G(Italy) and only saw 11.3 twice, most of them being 11.0 or 10.7 - never saw a tomcat
I'm not sure if it's the same but I bought the f5c because it was on sale and I wanted to play jets but I've been pretty much instantly researching vehicles with a single match
I know we already had a video on the extra chromosome XP-50, but now that there are at least 5 normal XP-50s in th match, can we have a wee video on it?
Optimal turning speed i think yeah But the power it has near mach puts you in a much better position. As you cant maintain the speed range youre mentioning very long

Defyn, can you make a guide with prop plane how to actually dogfight? I'm a pretty new player, i grinded the german air line until rank 3 fighters (109s f4,g2 and fw190s) where i struggle the mosts. Most of times when i met better enemy planes or experience, somehow they just knew how to dogfight, turning my advantages, and all of a sudden im the one losing. Most of the times, when dogfighting i always have 1 goal which is getting to the enemy's tails (no matter how do i achieve that i just need to get into his tail, most of the times its messy). So i don't really know, what to do in a dogfight, using advantages, how to counter the enemy and so on. Almost all of my kills are from boom and zooming which doesn't always work. I just don't know what to do in a situation (mostly just mindless rolling, stalling, diving that gets me killed)
5th day of asking for the vb10 c1 or 02 and been loving the deadpan humor
defyn u got ziggo giga ? its good?
hey defyn, maybe you can try the japanese j5n1.
lol I've tried to convince him for months, he ain't going to fly that, even less now after Realshitter
If you know what that thing is, and you fly it, you're a chad even if you're negative
If you don't know what it is: it's basically a Tempest MkV with bad roll and slower than a spitfire lf mk9. I like it but you have to play absolutely braindead and make your presence at the start of the game, because lately you will lose your WEP and people will latch onto you.
would you use the acm radar on this thing?
Been having a blast in this thing ever since it got lowered, the repair costs tho 🫠
It will be going down around 3-4k which is great!
The f5e has lost all charm to me at 10.7. Even with a 30mm gunpod you basically outperform everything you face, other than other f5s. Swatting mig29s with airburst zuni rockets was much more fun.
anyone know how to get the full authority in war thunder for air rb pls I don't know how to do that
@@deepanwitabiswas7514 wdym by full authority? You mean the ability to fully deflect control surfaces? Or the ability to control your engine? Or the ability to control your aircraft near the ground?
@@wfb.subtraktor311 I feel that when flying the Ariete in anything other than a full uptier, it’s flight performance is so perfect that every subsonic aircraft is incapable of winning a dogfight.
I still enjoy bullying a10s and su25s by throttling down during the merge, and murdering supersonics who think they can stall me out by climbing straight.
first game with it I got a 9k, second game a 7k third game an 8k, havent played it again so maybe it was luck, but felt hella good to play it other than the spark cannons since gaijin nerfed them, worth the rediculous 18k repair cost since you wont be paying it most of the times
Hey Defyn would you say the F-5C and F-5E have a similar playstyle?
Yes and no. They are obviously very similar, but they have different advantages. F5e has better engine and better missiles. F5c has more flares, better turn radius, better battle rating, more bombs ( even if you shouldn’t use them in air rb)
how is it compared to F5C? since it is on sale
Is the chinesen air tech tree worth to buy a Premium?
The chat checking if it's you lol
its very unlikely youll answe and even more unlikely youll remember, but im looking for one of you videos that starts with like 3/5 minute long montage of you getting kills in the plane with maybe a german national sounding song. I just cannot find the video.

@@DEFYN this is the one! thank you so much.
Solo’d 10 dudes in this thing (7 kills, 2 crashed a died chasing me to af when I RTB) favorite plane in the game
How do you outrun these things. It seems like every time I’m in an JA37 for some reason they can’t leave my ass. They’re weirdly harder to deal with than all F-4s I’ve seen so far
What do you do with the 2x AIM-9E at this BR (while grinding the F5E). Should you just dump them on an AI YAK-38 or keep for the good looks of the plane?
I personally dump them on bots when i grind for its mods, just making sure to secure some useful rp when you are still not at full capability. Sometimes there will be some 0 awareness enemies that you can sniff its ass and let the heat seeking bird fly out to f em in the ass.
how do you get the decal?
The F5e gotta be the funnest plane at 10.7, your targeted less, people pay attention less, even in uptiers I average 2- 3 kills with guns or 9J and if the 9J is below 0.8Km the 9J ignores flares, recommend the plane if you want a good plane and a fun plane and I know there's usually no fun planes at top tier, this is one of the only ones, mig 21 is also fun and A10 can be fun too, reason being BRRRT and also its a funny dogfighter
I need you to make a video explaining the difference between hill and mountain from the perspective of a Dutch, please 😛
Please everyone, don’t play this thing and leave the statistics low. At least until I unlock the F16, then I won’t need it to grind and it can move from 10.7
10.7 matchmaking is really favorable now. I played 30 ish battles in the F-104G(Italy) and only saw 11.3 twice, most of them being 11.0 or 10.7 - never saw a tomcat
And when you see 11.3 it might be only 3 of them because F-5C spam. And 11.3 planes aren't that dangerous to a good 10.7.
@@lixlivlxxxiv714 yeah I would then stay low and maybe consider carrying bombs, but usually just spaceclimb and third party
I'm not sure if it's the same but I bought the f5c because it was on sale and I wanted to play jets but I've been pretty much instantly researching vehicles with a single match
Can you do a May Sale Guide?
I know we already had a video on the extra chromosome XP-50, but now that there are at least 5 normal XP-50s in th match, can we have a wee video on it?
i buyed the deacel i got the thing that says you got the decal but i cant find it
Love the comment gems
"Is it actually defyn?"
"YEP"
"if he wins that 1v2 its him"
Confused haha I read the f5-e is best used at 500-600mph for turning? You’re saying the oppsite?
Optimal turning speed i think yeah
But the power it has near mach puts you in a much better position. As you cant maintain the speed range youre mentioning very long
@@DEFYN well thanks learn somthing new each day.
hey i really wanna get into the higher tiers of jets but i am struggling with keybinds for radar and flare, got any recommandtions?
I've got side mouse button for flares, and 1,2,3,4,5 on keyboard for different radar modes
@@Denkmaldrubernacht what do you use for missile seeker/ launcher then, and do you have different keys for different gun sizes?
@@tokolima21 just combine keys. For example I use MMB+1,2,3 and alt+WASD for radar settings.
@@tokolima21 I don't bother with using different gun buttons
X for turn on missile seeker
Space for launch
Can you do the f104a please it’s my birthday and I’m really close to getting it and I wanna know how to play it
Very fast. Can't turn
How is "lost tail control" just a hit???
7:07 A5C has EFS so it wasnt luck
I've never put my fire out with EFS so i don't think it's not luck
@@kingghidorah8106 I've never not put a fire out with EFS XD
@@Tryptamide guess it's like the bullets, some people have good experience with ShVAK while others get 4 assists per game
In general the F5 is a pretty good jet but I'd rather choose something with a lil bit lower repair cost lmao.
F5c with a full armament to get a base and missiles is only 6.4K or something like that
@@kkr6es but he isn’t talking about the F5c buddy
how much fuel did u use?
