Looking For The Worst Plane In The Game 

Defyn: THIS PLANE IS SHIT!1!!!! Also Defyn: 7 kills in said shit plane

0:13 bro just casually killed the Tu-4 with rocket pots thought we didn't notice lol

I remember u said, u wont play this plane ever -_-

I met a guy literally yesterday who was OBSESSED with the F84-F. He had ove 400 matches and a positive K/D on all four in the game. What timing.

The 8.3 Vautour with an all flying tail yet the single worst turn rate ever beats this imo, altho getting radar missile kills can be fun

0:30 and here we see Defyn questioning his life choices

Petition to force Defyn to fly something he actually enjoys. No video even, just fly something you like, man, this is painful to watch.

Dwang Zhongshon "Che-Rock-San" has been insulted, -100 000 social credits to you.

I still can’t comprehend why this plane is 8.3, when they added it at 8.7 I really just assumed it would go straight to 8.0

“Rasor gets 3 kills in the background, just ignore the middle one” 😂

The f84f is even worse in the other tech trees as it doesn't get the airspawn in those

Drinking game: take a shot every time defyn or spookston says absolutely

If we're doing bad planes you gotta do a Sakeen video

Deffyn: 23:59 : I will not play the F84 00:00 : Looking for the worst plane in the game

Looks like I found it way before you, it’s just whichever plane i use

Don't forget they took away the airspawns of the non-US ones too, for some reason

The j32 has the same problems as this does with the added annoyance of fighting f8u almost every game but instead of having bad energy retention it has energy retention that is so much better than every other plane that they reverse you by just existing. Also you a slower than everything else.

Nothing like watching people playing one of your most played planes in the game :D KILL ME

Having flown f-84f in 1,6k (45%win rate) missions. Only way to get reliable kill is either head on with stealth ammo, or bomb kill when enemy chases you. After that enemy has to fly through your crosshair to be worth dumping ammo to deal enough damage for kill. Any and I mean ANY turn burns energy. My strat for turning is to move mouse where I plan to turn and tap s (down) key to keep speed above 800kph. That being said it's good ground pounder with guns ccip accurate up to 2,5km. With airspawn and proper planning you manage to kill most of stationary ground targets (thunderer is nearly guaranteed if flown properly) and get time for 6/5 base HP dmg (2x 2k lbs+2x1k lbs) before enemy catches you. So if it was any lower in br it would be too powerful as ground pounder. I'm hellish glad I managed to grind German one and used it to grind best german bomber: f4f before nerf (only us one gets airspawn now so all others should be at least 0,3 br lower)

So glad it wasn't just me, when I was trying to grind the F-84F so many years ago I got so pissed off because at the time I didn't realize it was at 8.3 because of it's GRB capabilities not it's ARB capabilities. It's second to the current top tier stock grind in it's ability to stress me out

18:30 Rasor is killing it! But don't look at the middle one 😂

The problem with the "It's not a fighter" argument is that Gaijin sees every plane as a fighter and hasn't remade the game mode to push planes into their respective roles. My changes would be to make it so only bombers can kill bases, strike aircraft should get higher base rewards for attacking ground targets while having their killstreaks changed to only go off those targets(with the first bonus being set to at least 10 kills) and then fighter planes should be basically the current system but with a base reward bonus from AI planes. Would also like to see a wave based respawn system for 6.0 planes and up so you could play a bit more tactically with bombers by bringing them out after the initial rush of fighters.

God that last match really does feel like all my warthunder matches in every plane - entire enemy team goes for me, evade a bunch of them but they just so hard focus me (and my entire team does fuckall) and i just get slaughtered

it was very nice meeting u in-game me and my friend were against you on the enemy team

Oh man... Back then i use this jet for event grinder by taking advantage it had airspawn and rush toward AI attacker, there's 6 attacker and if you managed to kill them all its easy 1800 point, combine with rank multipler will net you 2300+ point per match After that i rushed back to airfield, reload but not take off, i watch how my team go, if they doing pretty well i continue with base bomb and ground pound, if not i just leave the game, if i got penalty i'll just switch to another nation F-84F (french, german, italy all got F-84F lmao) There's also sweden SAAB-105 that perform even better with 2 9B for quicker kill Unfortunately this strategy no longer work with gaijin increase the amount of time AI attacker to spawn (patch note mention its there to prevent player radar missile mistakenly lock into AI, but that is just stupid since its applied through all br)

Thanks I needed this to cope with my lack if success in this plane

I use it as a fighter in GRB. Great CAS loadout that can transition to CAP

I KNEW IT! I was so excited for this plane and then I felt more hopelessness in the first 2 hours of flying it, than in my entire previous WT career. Cool vid too, it is always nice to see mistakes like SnekyPotato turning back into your guns.

It's gonna be the F-4C after the BR changes

Honestly this dumpster fire of a plane could probably go down to 7.7 and still get fondl3d by the planes at that BR

The real worst plane in the game is whichever one I happen to be flying at the time

Defyn, I would like to nominate the Pe-2-359 and the LeO 451 Early/Late as they have their own qualties of rubbishness. Also special mention to the Tu-2S-59 at 5.7 with 2 Shvaks. If the worst plane in the game is one where no matter how bad the enemy is, they will still win, than these planes will make sure they do. LeO 451 is a medium bomber at 3.0 that makes your brain convulse from the decisions of French aircraft designers to strap 1 singular 7.5mm machinegun with 300 rounds to the front and a fire rate of 1350 rpms granting 13 seconds of firing time and a hail of bullets that almost reaches 23 rifle calibre rounds a second. Add that you only fire 220 grams of lead a second and this plane has less total ammunition mass onboard than an F4F-3 can put out of its 4 50.calibre brownings in a single second or a Tu-2S at 5.7. Pe-2-359 is the dishonorable entrant at 4.3 with a single 12.7 and 7.62 mounted in the nose. While the per second burst mass may be a "respectable" improvement over the LeO with 1.1kg/s, the ammunition count is not. With your amazing accuracy and trigger discipline, it may not be a problem, but for me the 8 seconds of fire on the Berezin UB is certainly less than ideal. For some reason, the fire rate is closer to an M3 50.cal than an M2 while carrying a quarter of the rounds on a M4 Sherman. And when that is out, you'll realize that the aircraft is chucking the 450 rounds of 7.62 into the air faster than a MiG-29. Aircraft that don't quite make the cut include the Bristol Blenheim's right wing mounted 7.7 that Spiff managed to get an ace in, Hampden TB for having the same problem at a higher br, S.M.79 for having the same problem but with 3 engines at a higher br, Ju-88 for having the same problem at a higher br, B6N for having what I believe is the lowest single second burst in game, and the Firefly Mk V for making a single engine aircraft feel like a 4 engine bomber. But to be complete rounding off top tier includes horrible picks such as the Jaguar GR.1A (or GR.1 if you prefer to fly without flares and a weaker engines), Buccaneer S.2 which will allow you to subsonically sling a pair of AIM-9Bs at a BR of 9.3 as your only weapon, any of the strike Tornadoes because performance is overrated, Mirage 2000D, A-7E for another subsonic at 10.7 dub with 2 rear aspect 18g missiles, Strikemaster Mk.88 and finally the Su-25 SM3. Happy hunting!

I recommend any night fighter variant of Do-217. It's basically a bomber without bombs and quite heavy forward-facing armament, and it flies like a brick

Heh, funny to see this when I was looking at - bah, whichever french premium they brought back briefly, a vatour? With cannons, no (or manually) guided missiles, and even their description was mostly "no, this plane's not good for this, or this, or this...."

I fucking hated using this thing back when I was grinding the tech tree.

When I read the title of the video, I immediately thought it would be an F3H-2 video.

Well R2Y2 next😁

i havnt played absolutely every plane in the game but ive played the vast majority and the only plane ive actually given up on spading was the mystere IVA

You should play the swift f7 again because they changed the missile

I swear defyn lowkey loves flying the challenging/ trash planes 😭😭😭

7:51 bro tried to do the kvochur bell manuever

This plane has been abysmal for literally years, thanks for covering my pain.

If you haven't already try the swift F1 it has the same problems, with in my opinion worse cannons, with less ammo and a worse turn and agility.

I think you can't find worst than the p108 with the 102mm in the italian tech tree, it is heavy, sluggish, the canon is impossible to get on target

great video Defyn tho you did not have to review this plane but it's much appreciated

Can you try ad-2 and be a low altitude goblin? Its absolutely hilarious that you pretty much can pull a reversal into everything with your 3000hp engine and insane turn radius and no one expects a fat ground attacker to eat their ass before they can cry for their mommy

F-84F and Tornado ADV are the strong contenders. F-84F was useful for like 2 days when Gaijin added a CCIP for its bombs and rockets. 4 100lbs at 8.3 was quite something back then. Otherwise, this jet is just suffering, that was added like 3 years too late

Can we have a video on the Firefly recently added to the benelux tree? Seems like almost no one has taught of it recently

You said it, yo self. It's a strike aircraft..

Even with however bad top tier air grinding gets I’d still say spading this piece of junk was the worst experience I’ve had in air rb

you should play the sea venom next, rulo6000 despises that plane

"just ignore that middle one" 18:28

This plane is the sole reason I have rank 7 swedish jets, if it wasn't for free food that is F-84Fs that tried to dogfight me, I wouldn't be able to grind past middle of rank 5. Only early Swedish jets that are good are J29A and SAAB 105G.

At least it flies slightly faster than that seaplane po-2.

i was going to volunteer the F-86K but i really like that hunk of junk for some reason

Defyn suffers to answer the question what is the worst plane in war thunder, a true hero.

This is seriously the worst plane ever. Recently maxed this out with upgrades and it was the most painful process of my life.

Would love a vid about the J21RA.

the D.520 is a candidate for sure

And don't forget: there are premium versions of this junk (maybe it was a good thing i picked the A-4E instead as my premium jet for Israel back than, tough i still think its a pile of trash). Kinda have similar bad experience with my "Shenyang F-5" as: what downtiers? the guns! can't catch anybody on my BR! 2/3 times i die is do to how badly the plane locks up above 850km/h and just crash! the guns! poor brakes no chute so i usually need the long runway. the guns! And why its still 9.3 when the Sabers went down?

was a bit excited to get it as a ground pounder for ground rb , knew it wouldn't be amazing since it was an f84 (never played one they just suck anytime i see or dogfight one in air and ground rb) . played it and thought its just the pilot and than proceeded for play 4 games with 3 kills max mainly from head ons . this thing is just horrible at everything.

If we only take into account fighter that are jets I would say ; Mystere IIA Hunter F.1 and Mig 9

You should try the Jaguar, imo its the worts enjoyable plane to play

Hey defyn, you should do a video on one of the aj37s, one is at 10.3 with 2 missiles and the other is at 10.7 with 6 missiles (thats if you dont bring guns or counter measures) i think theyre pretty good, but they're VERY under reviewed. So you should definitely do it sometime

This plane is the definite proof that war Thunder players at this br have less then 1/2 neuron active

This is more fun to watch than top tier.

I like the f-84 I have the german one myself, I just call it Jimbo the flying Rocket Boat

The american f84f is the best of all of them, its the only one to get an airspawn

Fun fact: the F-84F is in 4 tech trees, but only the American one gets an air-spawn

Worst plane in a fighter role has to be the french MB162

F-111 is still missing speed Still missing AIM-9E and AIM-9J Still missing the ability to jettison the outer 2 pairs of pylons Has incorect flares (come on, gaijin, they are 2 inch flares) B-57 is just overtiered, same as every other canberra

also if you think that the american one is bad then think about all the others which lack the air spawn

Got a warthunder mobile ad on this video where they blatantly used PC ground rb footage in a high tier tank that isnt even in the game on mobile.

Scimitar. Hands down. That thing wont even go where you point it...

My 2 cents, F86K on the french tech tree is the worst, half because its an F86K, half because being in the french team, you get uptiered more and placed in random teams more. Spaded that thing not long ago and in my 11 years playing this game, its been the most painful grind

An ace in F-86 : 🤡🤓 An ace in sweep wings F-84 : 🗿

DEFYN the f8u2 might be slightly powerful now at 10.0

I think the A7K is so much worse at its BR. I got it out of one of those gambling packs and it's 11.3, gets I think only flares, has no afterburner, weak engines, slow turn, can't even get super sonic and you only get missiles at a time, which are what bring it to 11.3 which are the aim9j and aim9L. If it didn't then this plane would be like 9.7

This plane used to be good as it was 8.0 and it got constant down tiers to like 7.0-7.7 so it absolutely slaughtered, then gaijin made the brilliant move of making every Sabre and every Mig-15/17 0.3br lower so now it only fights them

You are like that german coach who managed to win the euros with Greece in 2004

Bro is using rockets for countermeasures and thrust

gaijin really messed up f111 and its gun, when the crosshair is in the middle the gun shoots like half way of bottom/middle of the screen and speed bleed is depresssing when the plane has no thrust at 700-800km/h range where it ends up after a gentle turn everytime. it would be semi ok if the gun wasnt all fkd up, i could fight some people in it wings front but never get my guns on target in a fight. i just straight up skipped f84 after test flying it in one match lol

Ive been waiting for this day 😂

I spaded this thing; I've played some seriously bad vehicles in War Thunder, but nothing trumps my stock to spaded grind of this piece of trash.

I havnt been around this channel long, but uploading a video where you get a couple kills wouldn’t be the worst thing. I’m personally getting tired of other people showing 12-15 kill games when that CAN NOT BE their match to match games. Watching you defend yourself with low kill games if people want to watch they’ll pick things up on what to do in situations as so.

Defyn? Meteor F Mk.8, it's so much fun! :D

even Jumbo the elephant flies better than this thing

I feel so vindicated because I just got here on the tech tree. I thought the plane was ass but then I thought it was a skill issue. Now I know better lol

They should move it to 7.7, it’s basically the same F-84 as the early ones.

Only took me two attempts to realize this plane was an absolute Pig... And then I realized that EVERYONE was after me ai immediately switched back to the F-86 and started hunting F-84s because the -84 just REFUSES to turn; makes for a very easy target.

Maybe it is easier to find the worst plane of its BR than the overall worst plane. Especially at this BR range there are a lot of trash planes imo.

you should play the swift f7 again last time i saw you playing it you didnt exactly use the missiles correctly. these missiles are exellent for getting headon kills not much else. dont dogfight in it and always keep your speed above 1000

I was hoping for a P108B video from Defyn 😢

this plane would struggle even as low as 7.0

One thing I don't get is.. if it's more aerodynamic and has a 20% more powerful engine than the F-84G, why does it accelerate worse than any jet out there ? It's got as much engine power as the quad-engined Arado 234C..

i got this thing as a french premium from some box, decided to grind a bit of french tech tree because hehe premium yeah I did not had good time, it is only useful in bombing, but sometimes even in this it fails

He did it, he flew the F-84F!

Why does he say epstein to the back of the head? he hung himself

worst plane, you say? may i introduce you to ✨france ✨and ✨italy✨

The road will be very short if u take the right turn over here -> it leads to the vautour 2b if we classify bombers (no guns) if not just a little bit further we have vautour 2a. I dont know which player with some knowlegde of the game is looking for the worst plane in the game outside of french tech tree smh. Imo these are the other contenders (except the b57 , f84) for the award (compared to vautour IIb they aint even trying) : Su25t / Buccaneer S.2 / J7W1 / SM92 Btw i dunno how gajijn takes 8.3 plane deletes the airspawn , missiles and give it a 2br bracket jump and says yeap thats good.
