thanks dude. the reason I broke off was because I thought it would take too long to catch up with you, and I wanted to help my team mate. naturally, if I realised at the time that it was you, I would've chased you to the end of the earth and not give you any space. Anyway, I'm glad that I totally fucked up my loop, learned quite a bit out of this encounter. Anyone here wants to 1v1 me, add me in-game.
You were 1.4km away with about 5-700m of altitude advantage. That is close enough that you will be within gun range long enough that any P-51 player will have to take some evasive action. That said the airfield with the AAA was not that far ahead of the both of you and if someone flying the P-51 in that position evades well enough they can make it to the cover of the AAA. That is what many players would have been going for in that position. Thus in that aspect you are completely right to be concerned. Given that there were still players left on either team and playing it conservative is even more understandable. Given a lack of knowledge of the situation of the game it would be completely unfair for anyone but Defyn to really criticize you for your decision. As for the actual fight with Defyn? If you are going to keep using that technique rather than rolling all the way over to pull up into a loop start pulling before you get past 45 degrees of roll while rolling from inverted and transition into a climbing spiral instead. It still isn't exactly ideal* but it gives far less position to an opponent than rolling inverted, pulling to evade a shot and then rolling back over to pull up into a loop. * Basically don't be inverted at the merge unless you want to pull down because otherwise you are just giving some position as you roll so you can transition into another direction. Planes with faster roll rates can mitigate this to some degree but it is impossible to fully eliminate it. Better roll rate or not rolling past 90 before pulling into a turn is pretty much committing the cardinal sin of reversing your turn in a dogfight and that always gives a lot of position to your opponent.
@@rainsilent i think i get you, the transition from dodge to loop needs to be more seamless. rolling one way to dodge, then rolling back is just wasting position.

@@hellogoodbye388 the D-30 model itself in particular didn't see ww2 but in game it represents the ww2 mustangs that did get higher boost settings from 150 octane fuel
@@christopherchartier3017 D20 saw major service tho. Hell even the D25 saw decent action in the pacific and racked up a few kills. D30 never made the war though. Also it had M3 guns instead of the M2s that we get in game so it was essentially a prop driven sabre. Absolute beast of a plane
@@christopherchartier3017 First off, I agree, tho also it isn't so much that the D5 is plain. Its just that the game doesn't model mustangs correctly. They're missing almost 300 HP from their engines (except for the D30) and the in game physics in general leave a lot to be desired. Speaking from a combination of real flight experience as well as flying the Mustang in many different games and sims, DCS has an incredibly well modelled P51. It's a late war D25 but the performance on all stangs was basically the same across the merlin versions. Point being... the main advantage of the mustang in a pure dogfight was its stamina in turns. (Yes, it should be able to dogfight, and really well at that.) And due to warthunder being mouse aim, plus the physics being whack, the P51 and many other birds don't live up to the reality of their performance.
Again, the EU world of War Thunder is so utterly different... can any NA player imagine the laughter and abuse that would come from chat if anyone ever dared ask to land so they could have a decent dogfight? The sheer gentlemanliness involved in Europeans killing each other will always astound me.
The P-51D30 was so much more fun before they nerfed the rudder like 5 years ago. The thing just slips around while you're trying to aim and 50 cals need some time on target so it's just kinda annoying when you get to the whole shooting part of the game.
@@hellogoodbye388 Well, you aren’t interesting anybody with your words. Also, what you say is an opinion. You aren’t saying anything that’s convincing.
P51D-30 is one of my favorite props to play. It just feels great in its own BR and having the power really helps dictate fights. Then of course you evolve into a larger menace the P51H-5 lol
@hellogoodbye388 who cares about the never seeing ww2 bit though? Like I'm sorry but I cannot count on my fingers how man vehicles in game that never saw ww2 yet fight mostly ww2 vehicles
This video shows honestly just how bad takeoff starts are for american planes. Mixed with the excessive minimum fuel load, the P-51D-30, and most for the P-51D's at large, don't really even have a chance in the game's meta without being carried by somebody. The same goes with several other U.S. aircraft too, like the early Corsairs. The P-47D-28 can make do, but the P-47N, P-47D-25 and D-22 are going to have a shit load of trouble when faced with aircraft like the Bf-109 or J2M series or Yaks unless they get to around 5500 meters where that engine power and long wingspan can get to work. My proposed solution is to remove takeoffs altogether. Everyone gets air spawn like Air arcade, altitude spawn of each aircraft is adjusted via climb performance. Or even if everyone has a similar spawn altitude, it can reduce the effectiveness of certain aircraft's climb rate to go to space and zoom down on everyone as they now have the slower climbing planes spawning at the same altitude and speed they're at.
at 15:15 you close the radiator. I don't know if its modeled in war thunder, but in real life the radiator on p51 produces some thrust through the merideth effect.
It is indeed modeled in WT, just like radiator flaps drag in most planes. However it's really weak, only really noticeable at higher altitudes. Actually if you leave the engine controls in automatic mode, the radiator will stay open if you go higher
I remember way back TTT45 really wanted to shoot me down when I was flying in the canberra lol. Like stalked me for a week, it was funny. I don't remember if he ever did kill me in a 3rd party fight, I don't think he did tho. I think one of my favorite lines was "you gotta barrel stuff em" And my fav stream was him irl walking around his college campus on his phone (he really shouldn't have had text to speech on tho LMAO)

Hey Defyn! Love this plane, super iconic, and I got my first 5 kill game in it, and all from the help of your vids. I was wondering; would you ever do a video showing us your key binds? Recently switched to a keyboard with numpad and mouse with more buttons, so would be helpful if I could get some advice on that.
Hey DEFYN, i know the chance isn't that big that you read this but i'm grinding the chinese techtree right now and wanted to know if you could do a video on the chinese P-38L-1, you can add 4 50cals so you have 8 in total, sounds like fun in combination with the airspawn it gets. Nice greetings from Germany❤
I read everything :^) I dont have that plane planned right now since the video i did on it is still up to date as well as the US one which i covered 2-3x too I am not saying I wont but for now its on the backburner
Better without the gunpods for the P38. It ruins the performance. Climb high, keep up speed. DEFYN's videos will show you how to fly it, but it definitely does not need the gunpods.
defyn, sir, sorry for asking this at the comment section, but, how do i counter a F8F-1 bearcat if i'm in a BF-109 F-4, i've been struggling against it a bit, since it outperforms me in almost every single way possible, thank you for reading in case you do :D
Depends on the situation but the f8f1 is undertiered Best bet it to get into a dogfight with it and abuse the fact it loses speed quite fast Dont go too vertical tho because then his engine power takes over i reckon Its not an easy fight for the F4
Isn't it true that shutting your water radiator does absolutely nothing for your drag as the P-51s are modelled? I saw you do it at 15:15 for airspeed.
that aggressor camo rocks on the P-51. I have a question though, I was once in a long carry without having landed after twenty minutes and found the plane to be quite sluggish. Engine didn't cook, all MEC and the WEP still seemingly activated. I still won the match after setting an a7m2 on fire. Does this plane lose power after certain time using WEP despite keeping it?
@@kingghidorah8106 if you use MEC, like you said you did. Then your engine should pretty much never overheat since even with WEP it doesn't even reach the yellow range. There is no other way to manage it better as it's a really easy engine to handle.
Adolf Galland was asked by goering what he wanted to have. Galland replied that he'd like to have Spitfires. Oups! The P51 became famous with the Rolls Royce Merlin shoehorned into it. Only then did it fly high enough to hit the hall of fame. hitler lost the battle of Britain due to the ruthless strategy of Churchill who dropped leaflets onto Berlin, pissing off hitler who had promised no bombs would hit Germany. hitler then, abandoned the systematic bombing of military airfields and radar stations, in favor of an intense bombing of London. At the expense of casualties, it worked, affording time for the airfields to mend and the production of aircrafts to perk up. To further compound the decline of the third reich, hitler ordered Operation Barbarossa (Russia), while still fighting in North Africa. These key factors, in this sequence, tilted the balance and won the war in the European theater. Yes, with the Merlin, then a licensed version built by Packard, the P51 with droptanks, did have the great range needed to escort bombers all the way to Germany and back to Southern England's base. It is sheer idiocy to think you can dominate the entire world with what they had. Only a bad-robot army could do this now (Elon is right) - still not for long. *Small letter is knowingly used in the family name' spelling of small coward men, with immense egomania, high on meth (true) and rehearsing in front of mirrors for their own sick delight, for hours at a time, fake his death, and die in 1986 in Argentina (true).

Best bet it to get into a dogfight with it and abuse the fact it loses speed quite fast
Dont go too vertical tho because then his engine power takes over i reckon
Its not an easy fight for the F4
@@DEFYN roger roger, thanks for the advice!
I miss Tommy. He was good shit, fun to squad with and stream snipe lol
How can i get the wing red decal?, i bought ge with defyn's code but i got the "skill issue" decal instead
it's a combination of 2 that you unlock for free
Like above said, its a combination of 2 free decals. I believe they are in the axis emblems. The first one is a big red shield
in America P-51 won the war, in UK Spitfire won the war , in Russia IL-2 won the war ect ect
The pee51 Must-dang ! Teh winning wurplaine❤
Are you ok?
hey how much speed do you recommend when climbing at the beggining of the match in this plane?
You can climb at 290 kph IAS in almost every prop. Its what i do anyways
Some are slower and some are faster but 290 is always solid

YOU NOTICE SOME PERFORMANCE CHANGE ON P51H?
Press your capslock and no
'only an i-225' what pack are you smoking
wow a non-toxic mature 109-f4 player (world's first)
Isn't it true that shutting your water radiator does absolutely nothing for your drag as the P-51s are modelled? I saw you do it at 15:15 for airspeed.
Its very minimal yeah
Just a habit since i just got done flying the 109 😅
Hey defyn, can you fly the Fw 190 A-5/U2 sometime? What are your thoughts on it vs the U12?
Edit: Or maybe the A-4?
that aggressor camo rocks on the P-51. I have a question though, I was once in a long carry without having landed after twenty minutes and found the plane to be quite sluggish. Engine didn't cook, all MEC and the WEP still seemingly activated. I still won the match after setting an a7m2 on fire. Does this plane lose power after certain time using WEP despite keeping it?
It should actually become lighter. From my experience it feels better later in the game than earlier.
@@ushikiii i mean after weping all match 💀 of course if you manage your engine BETTER it will feel lighter
@@kingghidorah8106 if you use MEC, like you said you did. Then your engine should pretty much never overheat since even with WEP it doesn't even reach the yellow range. There is no other way to manage it better as it's a really easy engine to handle.
@@ushikiii i said before that my engine didn't cook, I'm wondering whether it's power goes lower or i was just not on the proper energy state
@@kingghidorah8106 from what I am aware. No change in HP. But yeah you can wait for an answer from the creator.
Love this plane, classic
Adolf Galland was asked by goering what he wanted to have. Galland replied that he'd like to have Spitfires. Oups! The P51 became famous with the Rolls Royce Merlin shoehorned into it. Only then did it fly high enough to hit the hall of fame. hitler lost the battle of Britain due to the ruthless strategy of Churchill who dropped leaflets onto Berlin, pissing off hitler who had promised no bombs would hit Germany. hitler then, abandoned the systematic bombing of military airfields and radar stations, in favor of an intense bombing of London. At the expense of casualties, it worked, affording time for the airfields to mend and the production of aircrafts to perk up. To further compound the decline of the third reich, hitler ordered Operation Barbarossa (Russia), while still fighting in North Africa. These key factors, in this sequence, tilted the balance and won the war in the European theater. Yes, with the Merlin, then a licensed version built by Packard, the P51 with droptanks, did have the great range needed to escort bombers all the way to Germany and back to Southern England's base. It is sheer idiocy to think you can dominate the entire world with what they had. Only a bad-robot army could do this now (Elon is right) - still not for long. *Small letter is knowingly used in the family name' spelling of small coward men, with immense egomania, high on meth (true) and rehearsing in front of mirrors for their own sick delight, for hours at a time, fake his death, and die in 1986 in Argentina (true). ONE THING I CAN ONLY PRAISE HERE IS YOUR FLYING DEFYN,. FABULOUS SHOW, AS ALWAYS! Love THOMPSON but he should ease off on the High Octane. Cheers!
bro, the Stuka won the war,,,,, get lost P-51
15:15 what did he do to his radiators then?
God I miss Tommy so much 😢
Love the D30 but it can be very annoying without a squad mate because of the constant 5v1s. With a squad mate though it’s peak wt for me
P51 d30 is too low in br and never saw ww2.
@@hellogoodbye388if it didn't saw the war then how did it win checkmate liberal
Hey Defyn, could you do an update video for the P38K? I wound like to know how best to fly it in 2024.
P-51 Mustang, the best turn fighter in the game.
More like "P- Fifty Won the war"
Would you be able to make a video on the p47D25 or D28 again DEFYN, interested to see how to best use them in 2024
Can you do the p40s next?
what do you set your gun distance too?
