I Played As An AWACS In War Thunder To Win With American Top Tier Teams 

Thanks for giving him a shoutout, i stumbled upon him recently and fell in love with his videos and felt like they were very underrated.

You won't believe what I am about to say

@@DEFYN You absolute madlad, I love it.

@@DEFYN do it or no balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't phly just post a video of him going right?

yep@@humzaakhtar9208

drop your pants boy you discovered the secret too early@@humzaakhtar9208

It really isnt

​@@DEFYNnuh uh

​@@DEFYN sounds like youre trying to dodge a missile😂😂

​​@@DEFYNwhat about bv238? This boat fly's atleast better than a Tornado

@@LordRidler i did rather recently

Hard to see anything when the entire map is full of smoke

XDDDDDDD

​@@DEFYNhahahha

What would that be? Tornado IDS with targeting pod?

And when the smoke clears there is no point in spotting for a team that already left. And even if someone is still there, he won´t do anything with that information~

Gripen is 20 years younger than F-15, go figure

@@iansysoev9462 US twin engine fighters are speed capped insanely hard

@@dutchdragon2472 well, can't deny that F-15 lacks some thrust in WT

Gripen objectively overperforming

Ikea airframes just built different. Hence is why my 2nd and 3rd favorite jet fighters are Swedish (Viggen and Gripen, respectively). If anyone’s wondering what my #1 favorite jet fighter is…its the F-22A Raptor, because _discretionary spending go brrr._

I genuinely have not had a problem with the su27 lmao

@@williewilson2250 As in, playing the Su-27 or fighting against it?

@@williewilson2250 The problem with the su27 is that it perfectly fits the meta of air rb, removing the numbers of the enemy team and having only 2 good players left against your entire horde of j11s and su27. The su27 isnt too hard to counter if your in a 1v1 situation and get lucky with his r73s getting flared. however the same cant be said for your team or you when you are distracted. the su27 is a very easy plane to get the numbers down on the enemy team and is very easy to get wins in the su27 because of this

lol i was in that game i remember him

It’s true, I was the hand

Hmmm I just downloaded this free to play game and have no experience whatsoever. Hmm yes I shall buy a $60 premium at 10.3 that seems like a good way to start learning the game when i dont even know what the keybinds for missiles are yet.

@@moriartyholmes8172when the game advertises top tier and people get into the game and r flying ww1 props, that tends to happe

@@moriartyholmes8172 tbh US-teams are bad since 2013 so thats gotta tell you...

My F-4S K/D finally went positive(I was in rank 7 already but needed it to grind SL/RP to clear the tree and Rank 8) since I bought it during the sale, but my win rate is like 20%. I feel like I win a slight majority of downtiers with it but the uptiers are 90% pure pain. Level 6 players buying their first jet and crashing immediately, etc.

​@@CsStrezwouldn't it have been better to just buy a talisman on something like the F5E?

Bruh do not 😭

lmaoo

Bandog finally caved in, RIP to a real one.

yep

As if anyone seriously plays the f14

It's weird how most people forget the 6 month period after the Danger Zone update where you winning the match hinged entirely on how many F-14s your team had.

Ive had lots of success doing this, climbing over and dropping irs on people. everyones eyes are just glued on the horizon especially when teams are getting close

Lmao

did i miss something about onions?

@@user-cv5pz7nw1t check the previouv tornado video lol

F-84B and G are also perfect for this, just from below. Shallow climb at 800+ kph straight into the enemy’s climb path. Usually good for one kill at the merge and then you bait 3-5 enemies out of their climb, making them easy prey for your team later. Aggressive Thunderjet is untouchable.

@@5olidGold F-84 being that low is a crime. Its literally on same br as 262 ffs.

​@@5olidGoldthe C3 gets the benefit of a true bomber spawn so it can accelerate stupidly fast right at the start F-84s are criminally undertiered though

But draken was fragile af then

It had no flares

The T2 was faster than everything but you still had to have a clue on how to play if you were a mediocre player you got nothing done in it

ye

Will this work with Su22 intergal or external pod?

Possibly. Haven't tested. @@alexturnbackthearmy1907

early fox 3s have slightly less range than the ER, current air craft radars have enough range

​@@user-rx5hc2yq1qDL would fix a lot of annoying issues though regarding spotting and shittier top tier radars like the N019 and N001

this is where I would put my 6x multi kills... If i had any

hm that sounds familiar xddd

​@@DEFYNlol

@@_Joob Sure is, you're thinking what I'm thinking XD

Probably because they are only about average aircraft for their Br😕...

I said it spots people from 20km away and that it gives your team a lot of useful info through this What else do i need to specify

@@DEFYN I don't blame you if you're not gonna read all of this but I figured I'd still put it out there since it could still be useful feedback; More emphasis that you need to view through it to spot them, and that you need to keep doing so every now and then to maintain that spotting. Also what kind of information (like distance and vehicle type) is displayed to your teammates and how that helps them pick their opponents. Idk it kinda felt like the targeting pod part got a lil glossed over, I just think it needed more emphasis that you need to have it equipped and used frequently. This video revolves around the targeting pod but it plays less of a role in the video than you having COVID aim. Should also point out that other aircraft have targeting pods and can be played in a similar way as well. Also it feels like, despite it being a support feature, the video was more about how you use said feature to help yourself out, and less about how you use it to help teammates. It's just kinda ironic that the teamplay tactic, still comes off as a lone wolf strategy that's meant to benefit you the most. I think that's just due to your nature of your commentary style but still. Would've been bonus points if you had an example in there where you relied on somebody else or a squadmate doing the AWACS strategy and how that synergizes with you as a teammate. Or just a quick clip showing a teammate's perspective to seeing all the enemy names light up. Overall I think this is a really fun strategy that wasn't entirely done enough justice through this video. I liked the video but I still feel the need to criticize the structuring considering it's such a novel playstyle to me that deserves the spotlight. It felt like a normal gameplay video with the AWACS support concept simply strapped on with duct tape.

Well no, I gave up testing it (even if I had success with the Barak II with 4 kills and no death) I just switched back to the F-4S and just do everything contrary to the Meta again. Pretty much alone up there... but it works.
