Had a 23ML on my tail in the 104S ASA at altitude and speed with a decent gap; last ditch made a 90 degree turn to bleed his speed, then pulled vertical. managed to stall him out after flaring his missiles and gun him down after rolling over. truly a cathartic experience
That is my favored military aircraft because my grandfather on my mother side flew the CF-104 for the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) during the mid 1960's. He and his family was station out of Baden-Soellingen, Germany with the No. 422 Squadron RCAF as a NATO nuclear strike force. He received a medal ten years ago for his service to NATO. He still has his outfit with the foot cramps its very very cool. Also, he still fits in it he is 83 years old. He loves that plane all the family calls his plane when we talked about it. It was a incredible aircraft if I ever have a chance to flew it I will in a second.
I'm a big fan of F-104J and G They are actually really easy to learn, easy to fly and kind of relaxing And as you say the new Match maker makes them even better!
The F-104A and C variants are honestly pretty fun to fly right now with the BR going down to 9.3. I get downtiered to like 8.3-8.7 80% of the time and as you can imagine running against planes like the F-86, F-84, the early migs etc. this is a pretty good boom and zoom fighter, only thing that can give you grief is the Mig-19's because while they cannot really catch up, if one decides to stick on you forever, he cancels you out for the entire game and it sucks
My only issue with this new decompression is that they bumped up a fair amount of jets to higher BR's. Yet the MIG-23ML and MLD get left at 11.3 and I believe they both belong at the same spot as the F-4EJ Kai. The main reason is they can still face 10.3 jets the majority of which don't have flares or chaff. There's my little ted talk on the new decompression which other then what I stated has helped out a lot.
Totally agree I have both the MLA and EJ Kai,and in my limited experience MLA are a bit better in a real game and way better in 1 v 1,way more forgiving to fly due to it being very fast and can actually turn in less than 3 business days So I don't see the reason of it been left at 11.3
F-104G is one of the few planes I actually have good stats in, 60% win rate 3+ k/d. The A/C variants are decent so long as you dont get uptiered into 9G or 9L missiles, very common sadly. they can outrun or dodge most 9B and 9E, and the speed/acceleration actually makes a difference down at 9.3.
Yesterday I got crit by a 104 in a headon. I was in the viggen, he nipped half of my controlsurfaces in the head on but I still ended up killing him after the weirdest turn fight ever. Goes to show a lot about the 104 I think.
@@martijn9568 well we were on high alt. 6km and he became pretty slow as well, I was around 550kph and almost stalling my gun connected guided by Olof Palme himself.
I know the guy from 6:27 MapleWolf34 and he told me he is for a long time no more in PHAP, he changed to "FurEZ" somewhere in september 2022. So that must be real old footage. But I understand school can really EAT your freetime. It's like Nikado Avocado and your freetime is 25,000 calories of fries and burgers.
Great to see a video on my favourite plane! Bringing back the memory before it was lifted to 10.7. It was fairly easy to score half a dozen kills back then.
Good day sir. We had a Lil conversation on m&k not long ago and I purchased one only to realize that the arthritis in my hands just don't let me manipulate the keys very long without pain. I'd love to be able to talk to personally or through text to ask some questions. I know you are a busy man so I won't expect you to be able to. But I also want to tell you that you are my favorite pilot in warthunder and I dig your videos. Keep up the great work.
Funny how a single round from a 23mm takes out an entire plane with no problem. A person dashes in front a 20mm gau-12, it doesn't matter, you were pelting him with rubber bullets. My problem with war thunder is how bad the gaijin team is at balancing.
Well... u know what i use to say: Nobody forces u to play (or even spawn in) a -full- uptier! At least its not a 8.7-9.0 jet that never ever ever ever gets a downtier!
4:30 Adens on a French plane??? The heresy!!! The F-104G was a lot of fun, I got it when the A-10 just got into the game and I had a lot of fun going to space and raining down hell on all those A-10's And with the F-4F video I want to hear your honest thoughts about Gaijin's decision to put it at 10.7 instead of giving it 9L's (which they are stubbornly and openly refusing to give). Cause I do think that it now being 10.7 is nice and makes it a lot less stressful to play, because it was by far the worst plane at 11.0
@@H-cranky I don't tbh, having faced a fuck ton of F-4J's and F-14's back then made me stop playing it, can't do anything against those 7F's Just doesn't want to maneuver. Tho it's a lot of fun when not facing those things and going to space
F-104 A/C are absolutely disgusting now. AIM-9Bs feel great when half the planes you're fighting are still climbing at 500km/h. As for the F-4F it's so enjoyable. I didn't really think it'd ever be playable, and now it's actually good. Crazy to think that a .3 BR change can make or break a plane.
I played 500+ games in a 10.7 f104j from the Japanese tree. No countermeasures. Fun plane yes, keep your speed and have fun. Climb to space but be careful with long range radar missiles
What I found with the F104G is that you get to 10km up and then just dive on anyone you see then go back up at a 60-degree angle. Sure some planes are faster than you but I found that they can not climb as much as you can.

My grandfather flew dissimilar training in his F-double oh against 104s and said in a head on or when retreating the profile of the star fighter became invisible. Relevance to realistic: approximately zero.
Defyn dies sometimes. I presume that he has a survival rate of about 85% what is amazing enough when I consider that for me personally 60% is what I like to have. It would be interesting to see a video of his death flights and hear his comments what he did wrong. I learned a lot of his videos because he comments very good but to see a video of his failures would be very interesting especially in props.
Hey, defyn, could you try out the J35 since they broke its flight model today? They lowered AOA from 25 to about 22 cus too many premiums were flatspinning it
the f104a i find to be quite fun, and with it now being 9.3, its more than capable, then again i havent touched the other f104's so i cant say for sure, yes the aim 9b's are shite, i get some kills but its just opportunist
@DEFYN Sorry but I really need to ask this how do you pronounce that name? Like Define or is it Deaf'n cause I hear people in videos you are in with them and they say the second one and I always thought it was like Define but spelt DEFYN. Sorry just bugged me and had to ask this.
Maybe you should try low tiers my dude. for relaxing. couple days ago i tried MiG-3-15 (BK) literal gunship at that br and funny af. I really want to see your tier 2-4 vehicle videos again.
I must say, I just started flying the 104G and am struggling with it. Its not at all how I like to fly. It just seems to be a lawn dart. Worse I am having no luck with the matchmaker either you MLDs and MLAs are all over.
The Gaijin-broken F-104G, at a 11.0 rating, can and will face 11.7-rated aircraft with much stronger missiles, both in terms of G-force and angle. All of my matchmaking at 11.0 or 11.7 ends up in deaths. When it’s not that, it’s only a few kills, or I’m practically AFK because there’s nothing you can do when everyone has the one advantage you do. When I’m lucky enough to get into a lower BR like 10.7, I can actually make a significant impact

You should do a video on the F-104A since it’s 9.3 now.
Defyn, can I get any advice about J35A? I could not find any suitable tactics for it.
0:52 that is a lucky save
The F-104A is only doable if you are flying the US one so you don't face Aim9L shtfest A10s and A6Es all day though there is still the Su-25K
dear lord, imagine trying to dogfight F-16s and MiG 29s in a starfighter...
Defyn are you able to make a vid on the Mirage-2000 considering with this new BR change?
