THE MIG-29 IS INSANE | BEST JET FIGHTER IN THE GAME IMO (War Thunder) 

The mig-29 being in the game is so surreal. I remember when the Sabre was the pinnacle of jet warfare in the game.

The F4 was a brick with big enough engines, the mig 21 an engine with wings, the 4th gens were all about fitting as much lift surface onto an aircraft as possible.

If the map was accurate, basicaly at 10:14 phly was in a Mig29 above my theoretical house in Jbaa town in lebanon

the drop tank adds 5 min of fuel. so if you want 20 it will give you 15 main and 5 in the drop.

I mean, there is a good reason why the MiG-29 outperforms the F-16A. The MiG-29 enter service in 1982, and its HMD helmet arrived in 1985. The F-16A was already around 7 years old by that point. In fact, by giving the MiG 29 the HMD, the actual counter to the MiG-29 were the first F-16Cs (Block 25 in 1984) with improved radar that allows all-weather BVR capability for their AIM-7M.

So now we don't know what we have. The plane is something inbetween a Mig-29S (9.13) and Mig-29A (9.12) hence on the statcard it just says Mig-29 because they couldn't be decisive enough to add either or. Though in places (can't quite remember where) the 9.13 shows up, and that must be only due to the fact the aircraft got that small hunch indicative of a Mig-29S (but it's really not one since in addition to missing the R-73 it's also missing the R-77). What they should have done in order to avoid confusion is just to model the Mig-29A (9.12) and let the R-73 stay ... yes the aircraft is going to have less range but it would have been truthfull / factually correct, and i think players / fans would have appreciated it way more than some halfbaked compromise (some made up Mig-29).

F-14 mains triggered when he keeps calling the phoenix a maverick.

We need MiG-29 Merch.

At 20:25 a missile flies within a few feet from your plane for like 4 frames

Reheat or afterburner is a more complete combustion; it combusts some of the normal exhaust products, so it ends up being a cleaner burn. JP-1, effectively kerosene, is hard to burn cleanly. Technology Connections video on Hurricane Lamps goes into this with great detail.

1:23 Why do i hear Liberation of Gracemeria of ace combat 6.....

I grew up on Ace Combat 6, still one of my favorite games to date!

Day 454: Phly, I challenge you to get 8 kills in one game with the SU-5-1. This MBT/Tank Destroyer is severely underloved in your channel.

F16 fanboys triggered in 3,2,1 :

Attempt 374: Play the forgotten Mig-9 and show everyone the power of the original 23-37mm Vodka Jet.

*Liberation of Gracemeria starts playing* Me: *gets goosebumps everywhere*

“Let’s do this, Garuda 1!” Wave of nostalgia inbound

AHHHH ace combat intro music. like angels singing in my ear 👌

The amount of times Phlea called the PHOENIX the MAVERICK in this video was painful😂

20:24 play at 25% speed. That was a close one

I love the Ace combat music at the beginning of the video, Such a banger

Rockets and Missiles can actually be used to counter incoming missiles. The Bullpups are pretty effective in acting as decoys

That AC6 music at the beginning got me in the heart. GREAT PHLY NOW I HAVE AN UNCONTROLLABLE COMPULSION TO LISTEN TO ZERO & 6's OST. THANKS

1:30 that ACE Combat soundtrack hitting different 🤘🏾🤙🏾👌🏾👌🏾

20:22 is that a MISSILE that cuts just over Phlys cockpit??!!

The Ace Combat soundtrack is so appropriate given your per minute kills. AC soundtracks never get old.

aaaannnd the ace combat music was the chef's kiss on this intro.

I love the ace combat music. It’s been an honor being subscribed to you all these years since 2017

I've watched this video 12 times now and can confirm the mig-29 is insane

Is no one gonna commet on the absolute beauty of a glide back to base with no fuel being almost nearly perfect? I honestly didnt think he was making it

1:22 ACE COMBAT 6 MUSIC!? Legit my favorite game for eternity.

Bro hit me right in the feels with that Ace Combat music. Love the work PhlyDaddy

I'd say the f-16 still Dominates, since they needed the r-27s and removed r-73s it doesn't compete with the aim9 Ls and aim 7ms the f-16 can use. The mig29s r-60s are easyaf to flare and as someone with both of the aircraft I can tell you that these missles make a big difference.

the f14 still the king tho, just got a 7kill and 8 kill game back to back vs 16s and mig29s

oh man, when i heard the Liberation of Gracmeria start playing, i instantly got chills. cant go wrong with AC music ever

9:09 Fireworks! He flared so much he turned himself into flares!

Play the Type 61 with A7M2 and it nuke rockets :)

The problem with War Thunder jets is, it doesn't reflect how bad Russian radar and missile lock-range is versus the better US, and Allied stuff (Map Size). The Aim-120 is also not equipped to the latest and greatest NATO stuff. They need to be very careful how they nerf the Mig-29 because when the f-15 turns up it may be worse balance wise.

I hear that Ace Combat 6 music intensifying. You getting me all excited bro lol

God that Ace Combat Soundtrack is so good and brings me back

IDK i feel like they need to give it back R-73's. F-14 is still dominating in top tier match and MIG-29 without R-73 just feels like MIG-23 MLD with better looking skin. Why would F-14 get a AIM-54 right away and MIG-29 can't get a R-73 ?

Love the content Phly, keep it up. Combo time, non premium P61 black widow and m4a2. Attempt 113

love a perfectly cut scream near 9.45

20:24 that missile streaking right past Phly gave ME a jumpscare

It’s not the plane, it’s how much u waste, suffer, and sell ur time and money to gaijin

Day 221: Phly, you should play the Hampden TB Mk I. High-yield, low-tier bomber goodness

That ace combat music triggered a huge wave of nostalgia

The „Oh scheiße“ had me 😂

You know the MiG-29 will eventually be put in the German tech tree because of its service with the East German air force and the Luftwaffe after Germany reunified.

I’m loving all these new premium top tier jets. I’ve never done better in my f-4j. Will make the grind to the f-14 faster

Broooo the way you glide was so clean jesss 🔥 fire just fire vid 🔥🔥

Liberation of Gracmeria was top tier AC music

As a german main i am hopeful that the east german mig29 comes soon

While most youtubers are complaining about the Mig, you are enjoying it, that is why you are the best.

Not the Ace Combat: 6 music omg the nostalgia- This actually revived a part of me I didn't even remember I had... Idk why this is so personal to me but omg.

@ 20:23 you see a middle fall right past your jet on the middle of the screen lol

Btw Phly, a really useful tip, if your missile has the wrong thing locked you can press the button you activate the bore with just once and it will stay activated but reset its lock!

Should be at least 12.7

the ace combat music only adds to the experience, love to hear liberation of gracemeria, keep up the great vids man

How the heck'n heck did you GLIDE that in with zeo fuel!? I'm more impressed with how perfect that glide was compared to the MiG's capabilities.

Only reason we don't have R73s is because Gaijin is too lazy to fix the 12v12 prop map snowball formula.

15:22 POV: Russians flying over Ukraine trying not to get shot down 😂

god i love the ace combat 6 referencee in the start

Wow that ace combat music really brought me back

You should see Joob’s vid on the F16 he got a 5x aircraft destroyed lol

I love Russian aircraft especially the migs

that f16 so fast „Sees a missel „ Him: oh scheiße

@PhlyDaily yup, you're right! The hotter something burns, the lesser smoke You have. Especially when burning hydrocarbons.

If only the real MiGs weren't crap...

i wish it was the best but the f16 and f14 especially are way better. Maybe if they didn't listen to crying youtubers like defyn we would have a more balanced game but nope gotta appease the American mains.

Ace Combat's bonkers excellent music in this video is so top tier and fit the MiG perfectly

Liberation of Gracemeria is easily top 5 AC songs of all time. Kudos Phly

It's crazy how russian bias these developers are, I mean they should just on principle nerf every russian vehicle/aircraft because of this showing in ukraine.

20:25 not sure if the missile was going for ph daddy but man that was a close call. I’m surprised he didn’t notice it!

Ace combat music! Yes! Great video Phly “Go dance with the Angles”! And a Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Ace Combat 6 OST gave me chills, so beautiful 😭😭😭

With the ace combat music perfect

Phly out here liberating Gracemeria…

20:25 you nearly got shwacked by an r60 there xD

I get so many people in game whining about how the mig 29 is "unplayable" because it only got r60m and not r73

MiG-29 stratosphere flight, huh

I'm quite curious when they will add the Eurofighter

The Ace combat 7 Song Just hit different

It’s only missing now is jet ejection seat

I really think warthunder is going to add AWACS into the game in place of the bombers for high tier. It is also a very extensive part of air born warfare.

That AC6 music * chefs kiss *

0:25 im actually got the same ad doing the same thing following the link on a video on my PC 😂

Gotta love the AC6 reference

ace combat 6 music goes so hard in the intro

Oooof I love that Ace Combat music in the beginning 😍

"The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error. "

9:40 Nice cut xddddd

Gotta love the ace combat 6 theme at the beginning 😂

"Start extinguishing the fire" after getting hit by the Tomcat. Lovely!

that near miss missile at 20:23 caught me off guard lmao

10:51 This is called notching. It works, very good, also in DCS.

9:46 The Mig 29 knows where it is

Ngl the ace combat music had me hypeee

The timing is perfect. I was just wondering what to do and he provided me with a solution

13:45 Damn, I should call her.
