It Just Keeps Getting Better (So High) - MiG-29 Germany 

... an F104J saved your bacon? A flareless boat of a plane that gets focused every time one flies it out. Saved your MiG29. As someone who's very frustrated with how the F104J has become basically useless, this strangely excites me.

The German Mig-29 video is now real

The radar gunsight doesn't work very well in third person view but as a simulator player I can tell you that even when they're manouvering, in the cockpit it works excellently

Top tier might actually be kinda fair and balanced, there’s MiG 29, F-14, F-16, Mirage 2000, all pretty good planes.

Defyn my guy, any chance you can revisit the Mirage 2000C in this meta? Having 24nmi range on the 530Ds is finally having a noticeable effect on winning against the Fulcrums in BVR.

with the change to how HE works for aircraft cannons iv switched to the ground target belts on the 30mm and i must say it feels amazing

02:19 that's because the radar gunsight calculates based on the assumption that the target will fly straight from the second you pull the trigger, which in dogfights is of course wrong. It essentially makes it so you have to remove any radar lock you have (inlcuding a TWS lock) to get the regular gunsight back so you can guess where to aim with a reticle actually pointing where your guns are pointing as opposed to guessing with a reticle that's all the way in Narnia. Edit: it is very accurate when the target is flying straight, it's basically a free pilot snipe from almost any range if they do that, but since you can't count on the enemy to fly straight in general, especially not in a dogfight, that only makes it a gimmick at best.

The Mig29 is real???

As a German main, I’m glad they added it

Idk what you on about on R60Ms being less flare resistant than 9Ls after they’re flare resistance got nerfed, I can be full AB in my MiG29 and dump 1 flare and the 9L will go for the flare, but when I fire R60Ms they will ignore flares way more than my 9Ls do now

10:24 You need to put the crosshair directly on the plane, not lead with it. It's only useful in situation when the target is pulling consistently.

9:08 AMONG US

18:04 defyn, im from the future. And i have good news

Defyn, please make a video on the F-16 and it’s FM. I don’t understand why the fulcrum keeps getting buffed, while the 16 is so limited.

The radar gunsight only indicates how much you should lead the gun, and nothing else. For example, if your target is going in a linear path from your POV, then the radar gunsight will work perfectly. If it's manoeuvring, then just aimaing the radar gunsight will just never hit. What I do is that I get in a favorable position (like above the target) then use the radar gunsight to get the correct lead, and then I spray a little to the right and to the left for good measure. Often you can tell where the target is deviating to and correct for it on the fly. Well, as long as you understand the only 100% reliable information it gives you is lead, it's a pretty useful tool.

Can we all agree that the mug-29 has solidified itself in war thunders history as probably the biggest gremlin that has so far ever graced air RB not even the J21a was as bad as this thing when it was added

I personally feel like the aim 9Ls are worst atm, never can get a good use out of them unless they aren’t obviously paying attention or stock. Also the radar/ sparrows for F16 and etc feel really bad then it probably should be.

Knowing the planes you like, I look forward to your Tornado F3 review. I'm disappointed you don't get to enjoy the stock grind anymore, though.

I am spading the Mig-29A (GER) right now and gotta say even stock its a beast and with all the performance upgrades I actually won several 7 kill matches yesterday. Hands down best plane in WT right now. My only gripe with it is that the radar scale scope does not change and the refresh rate on it is pretty slow. F-14 comes in second place and Mig-23MLA would take the third IMO. I don't like the F-16. I spaded the american one, played the Chinese one but they all feel like big meh. Even had more fun in J-7E in full uptier than F-16. I think the F-16 would fare much much better in 4v4 matches as you could focus more on sustained ratefighting and not worry about getting third partied. But right now? When they changed matches to 16v16? In these 32 player matches, F-16 without FOX3 is completely outclassed.

THE FULCRUM THE FULCRUM IS REEEEEAAAL

MIG [GER] Say that to your black friend all together

19:00 it's soo annoying that people stealing someone that stall,spin or on fire

9:07 getoutofmyheadgetoutofmyheadgetputofmyheadgetoutofmyheadgetoutofmyheadgetputofmyheadgetoutofmyheadgetoutofmyheadgetputofmyheadgetoutofmyheadgetoutofmyheadgetputofmyhead

F-4 is still the GOAT. 😂😅😢

THE GERMAN MIG-29 IS REAAAAL

Soo hiiiigh... But since im so early, would you redo many of the german planes? You been saying alot of planes been bad, meanwhile Tier IV and V germany LITERALLY HAVE 1 "Decent" PLANE EACH, while being extremely being downgraded in 6.0-6.7. I arleady got the G.91 R/3 and that been helping alot to grind the tree but I do wonder if you have any opinion on the matter...

Stock grind in 16 vs 16 is so painful

Can we get much higher ?? Sooo highhh

I started playing this week and these videos helped me a lot, even as I don't have jets, yet I still watch them I know aim sensitivity is very different and depending on the person and mouse and dpi is going to be different but could you at least do a quick aim settings run down so me as a new player know what to use, currently I'm in stock sensitivity with delay

8:20 nobody gonna mention how movie-like that takedown was?

I hope the f16 gets a flight model update it's doable now but knowing what if can be is upsetting

Why does it have the same radar though? Didn't the German fulcrum have a nerfed radar?

I have an F-16 but not an MiG-29... but I am always amazed at how responsive the MiG-29 seems by comparison. The F-16 feels like a brick at high speed, and while it is generally good at defensive flying, you need to often pop the airbrakes so you can pull hard enough to avoid guns/missiles. Watching the MiG-29's flight performance and missiles just make it seem like it is a far superior plane in almost every way.

MLD: Im bad at dogfight Defyn: Ssame

more often than not, my team dies withing the first 25 seconds of combat, and im left to 1v8 or more. its like my team is always full if new players. no matter what nation. (i have all planes)

Heh, among us... Also I hate the changes with HE on aircraft. Using the funny German HE rounds doesn't feel funny anymore. Now what am I gonna do if a German plane I play has 30 mils like the 262..

So....why it has the R-27ER?... And why it doesn't have R-73 you lazy gaijin?...

I was test flying a plane and I used radar gun sites for the first time and I felt like they didn’t lead enough they were always a little slow in predicting speed I’m still in early German Jets I have the Mig 15 So I’ve been going fast a lot recently but even going slow in a climbing shot it was short

Bruh i dont think they overpowered or improved mig29 they just nerfed aim9L and f16 has aim9L and its so bad right now so u can more stayable more playable with mig 29

19:10 Bro got that dehydrated laugh, guys bully him about it

Defyn i will like to report you something about your Decal if you put it Two side of Mirrored is not level in other side have 10 to 20 degree flip in other side.

would u say the mig 29's gun is much better than the other gun that is on the mig 23 and 21, i like to gunfight but gunfighting in the mig 23 and 21 is hell

could you play the sweedish j22 b at 3.7 just for a change back to props

I found the gunsight to be pretty reliable with IRST I anyways am stock and all the kills I got so far were with the guns instead of the 2 R-60MK's xD

The F-104J at 12.0 though. That is painful, having no countermeasures against all these monsters.

I've found for the gun lead I lead it a little bit in front of the target and then fire and stop moving it forward so the enemy flys into it

where is my tornado AughhDV video defyn?

do you have a squadron that i could join? btw you make very gave videos

Coming back to the idea of separating flares and chaffs, it's a very good idea but I'm afraid Gajin won't implement it for one very simple reason: newer players won't be able to distinguish SAHR from IR etc, so it will be an obvious hurdle not technical but experience, which would be related in the game. Btw nice video :^)

LUKE! YOU TURNED OFF YOUR TARGETING COMPUTER?!

Mig 29 my favorite russian fighter.

Could you make a video about some Spitfire?

finally germany got a break from the shit planes

Defyn, please play the yak 15p. Attempt 1.

I tink this is funny the is a Dutch flag on there

Those afterburners are massive

Russian team won't be able to fly higher than 10m off the ground until tomcats get either a nerf or a plane on the other side to counter them. Going high/BVR vs US teams with 6x BVR missiles per plane is suicide - aka why every video here shows Defyn sticking his plane on the ground.

Are you a better pilot than a copsi?

can we get much higher? (so higher)

I prefer yak with 2 r27er and 27R

Guys I need an advice. What should I unlock and play after my first jet f84b??

So High

For me the f16 is cool as a US main my self but I have more fun with the mig 29 as it is my best plane right now.

Defyn please upload I miss u

That mig 27k 13:43 came clutch

Your video title makes me want a German version of that song, kinda like the german version of The house of the rising sun.

when defyn say video is over 😭

I'm sorry for this dumb question, but what it is the "radar gun sight"? Also, more fuel means more weight that means slower turn rates?

im surprised kim jong un has a f16 I thought they were still using early cold war stuff

in a 1v1 duel setup, is german mig29 in a feelable way better than russian one?

My question is why does the afterburner look so weird Literally unplayable

Beaufighter video when

Hey defyn it’s hard finding any current videos of the griffon spitfires, thinking about doing one soon?

We must also add a cabless unmanned MiG-23 for Germany, go guess its route

Can we get much higher?

Day 03 of asking defyn to play f8f-1b Bearcat

Can we get much higher?

I think the gun computer only calculates velocity, not ballistics, so lead the computer in terms of bullet drop

Ok i give up :(

you know, i think aim assistance like in gepard or Air AB is better than this jittery radar gunsight.

The amount of 40k r27er kills I’ve gotten now

9:07 when the F-4S is sus *Vineboom* *Amogus trap remix 1 hour loop*

18:00 Chaff, flare and fuel sliders w h e n, gaijin?

you should go back to the mirage 2000 it got a flight model rework and at low speeds it pulls like a monster

The 27ER is the worst thing to happen to WT since Real Shatter.

Can we get much higher

In the beginning is that a custom map or something? If so how do I play it

This game is so stale we got like 3 new planes this update lol.

i really cant tell if this guy is doing a voice over or a live commentary

do a vid using under tierd planes and what you have to do it get kills using it

Before this update shooting people on the deck wasn't an issue. Did they change something so that now it is?

MIG(GER) Coincidence?

Hello, how do you do to make your radar beam follow the cursor ?

Hey Defyn... do you want to experience a supremely powerful, fun and unusual, weapon system at high tier? Use exclusively zunis with an air fuse against aircraft in air rb. It's truly a hidden art to master.

For the gunsight i use lead a little on the nose of a plane if they are turning into me

I remember looking at a meme of someone making fun of german mains explaining why they need both the tornado and mig 29😂😂 it is now a reality

2:25 I believe you’re using the radar gun sight wrong. Let the target fly into it and then shoot. Considering your mastery in aiming however I dont’t believe that you’d ever rly need it. Except in situations where you’re in cloudd I guess Love the vids daifun, love you and sorry about the cat

Things I‘ve learned today. The F-16 is a fucking boat…. and since Defyn is enjoying his time in top tier, it‘s better to not go there anytime soon. I don‘t want to end up in a video while getting 360 noscoped from a MiG-29

Are you even gonna bother with Tornado F.3?
