The Pain Train With Potential - F-4C Phantom 

You're easily tied with the best War Thunder content creators my man. I've been watching you since that shoutout in OddbawZ's video a while back, and you deserve the growth you've been getting for sure.

14:53 Defyn's unbeat 0 Deaths war thunder challenge.

It’s always a great day when DEFYN uploads

It’s certainly an amusing plane. Has great speed and weaponry for its BR but for some reason always feels like a guaranteed kill when you shoot a uncaged seeker missile at it

1:12 "You're very hot." - DEFYN

Congratulations DEFYN on the 50K You deserve every single one of them

5:38, Greatest moment in DEFYN History

THANK YOU!!! I've been convinced this Phantom is an absolute monster for its BR Its 0.3 higher than a F-100.....which is mind blowing

"And dats kill numva 🌳"

I might be insane, but despite the lack of countermeasures or high-G missiles, I prefer flying this thing over the F-4E at 11.0. I strongly dislike fighting MiG-23s and Tomcats with all aspect missiles and long range radar/IR missiles, so the extra agility and improved missiles aren't worth the tradeoff in BR. Especially since the 9Js seem to hate me, and miss shots an AIM-9B would have connected...

It feels like a good plane, its only issue is the amount of 30G missiles that exist at 9.7-10.3 it could exist relatively decently at 10.3, if only it had countermeasures yea people complain about the countermeasures not being historical on the 4-C, but gameplay wise it would be a good addition

nobody is worthy of 50k more, top notch content from someone who clearly has put in the time to be one of the best at this game. Toasting a beer to you tonight my friend, congrats!

He predicted it. Year later just unlocked it and fuck me. R 60s every fucking turn

Easily one of the best content creators who creates amazing educational content, You helped me get better at the game and honestly I'm amazed you just hit 50k now and not sooner. Whenever people ask me how to learn you are always the first person who I tell to them to watch. Regardless, amazing job DEFYN love your content I'll be there when you reach 100k.

i have learned a lot from you and still need to learn a lot. but you, defyn, are one of those content creators i love to subscribe and listen to. keep it up, also loved the work with oddbawz.

Crazy how this thing got even WORSE as time went on

This thing in 10.0 RB with 2x2000lb and 6x1000lb is AWESOMEEEEEEEEE *take min fuel!

DAY 15 FOR ASKING FOR THE F4U1C, F4U4, XP50 OR D30

the Su25 spam still hasn't died down... 😢

14:53 defyn: I didn’t die, I survived and killed that guy but my computer glitched all of a sudden

Great job Defyn! You easily deserve all these subscribers and much more. Take care, we love you

Hello 👋

Man I’ve been tryna play threw the harrier and su25 spam with the F4c it’s terrible 😞

i fucking hate headoning F5Cs. They always try to headon you and often enough win, because their guns do more damage, have a better spreadpattern in headons and even if you hit an F5C back, its very likely that the damage is not life threathening. You on the otherhand will be cribbled for Life getting hit by an F5C xD

I miss when M61 gunpods almost didn't have mass and F4C players brought 3 gunpods

The AIM-7Deez nuts can be pretty fun to use. They fly straight for a lot and take a weird flight path as long as the motor is burning, so don't even bother launching if you can't give them some gliding time. However, they can glide for insane amounts of time and distance and will hit the mark at the end if you can maintain lock. I've had 6-7km launches hit at high alts consistently. Ppl at this br don't expect missiles with this range and will be caught off-guard. Even if they have rwr, the missile will be invisible for the majority of the flight time if you launch it far enough away. They'll have no idea when to dodge or most of the time just think it's out of range and fly straight away, only to eat the chungus.

Seems like this is another plane that could be really dangerous...but US players have no idea how to play their shit.

great vid. i know you focus on the fighter portion, but f4c is best bomber in the us tech tree. its low key but worth mentioning because its so low key.

If there’s anyone that deserves 50k and more it’s defynitely you man. Love the videos.

Oh jeez, you wouldn't know how much I needed this video at this very moment lol. After 3-4 years of grinding on and off, I'm finally within 50K research of the Phantom, and as always I research every plane I get thoroughly. Sad to say though, no videos on the F4C, I mean, 10.0, no countermeasures, poor maneuverability, horrible dogfighting... everyone focuses on the F4E, but as if timing could not be any better, here comes a video, and not from any RU-vidr but the best source and player I could ever get it from, the one and only DEFYN, what a miracle, but regardless, great video and a lot of things to take note from :D

I love watching your videos even if I don't fly the plane in question I always learn about how to counter it or something I can apply when flying other planes It may be a very stupid idea but il try flying the F-104 like this. I haven't had much luck with it before but perhaps playing it more like the F-4C will improve my performance

Man yall remember when the F100 was meta?

Ugh I feel that pain of getting a guy in your sights then blacking out the moment you squeeze the trigger. Well deserved 50k, Here's to 50k more!

5:39 bro 💀

I don't know why people hate this plane, it can carry 3 gau's, 4 aim 9 E's, and can damage a base heavily. Just go around the map!!!!! BOMB THE BASE THEN TURN INTO THE FIGHT

You are welcome.

Literally just got the f4c so this helped more than any other video.😁

Boy I sure am glad you definitely dodged that Mig21’s missile, undefeated streak continues….

Been flying this out post update. It's fun slinging radar missiles at the su spam. Many new players don't know what their doing, and get caught out. Most of the time they turn head on, but by that time I've already got a lock and have slung a missile their way.

Hey Defyn, when it comes to SARH missiles have you tried using the rectangular display and the B-Scope? Not only does it give great information about the range of the missile which eliminates guesswork about whether the missile is in range, it also allows you to lock on to targets much more easily. Edit: congrats on 50k!

I swear I heard you once say you'd never fly this plane.

One year later the SU25 spam is worse than ever

I fucking hate this aircraft. it shouldn't be in the game or it should be 9.3

Hey Defyn, can you try out the US F-104A/C?

I really love the "Totally dodged that missile then turned 180° and rekt him" meme

11:46 awesome

Tip for anybody who wants another option for missiles, bring a rocket pod. It will hit your top speed a bit but you get a discount Wish countermeasure pod

Not really unplayable even with the SU25s as long as you circle around the map and hit them from behind without missing. Plus the plane is a great bomber too.

Boy u do like coming from behind

The F4C for me is somehow very strong, I don’t feel like I suffer at all and usually get good matches on my grind for the F4E

no flares in an 11.0 uptier is pain

Youve deserve it man, im so fuckin happy to see your channel growing Keep up mister and play the Yak 9U whenever you can❤️

Very relaxing videos, thank you for teaching people how to fly, I learned a lot from you. It is what it is-moto for life

Warthunder should just change it to an F-4B. Yes i know that it's not an air force variant, but it does have the ability to carry CMs, 9D and I believe 7E. Should allow it to be quite good as a 10.7.

I found a way how to headon su25s and all aspect missiles. Take 1 or 2 pods of zuni rockets. Have 1000 meter fuse and shoot the rocket when hes 2km ahead kr the missile is close to u in a headon Edit: also if u have good rocket aim u might get a headon rocket kill

POV: I just got the F-4C and have no clue what to do because frogfoot. I think I’m gonna not play it for a while

Fuck me I've been grinding it for ages because I don't have anything in the naval tree

Hey, I just want to thank you for your amazing content and very helpfull tips. They realy helped me to get better at air rb. I have started to think more about my gameplay because of your vids. I even got my first ace a few hours ago! Also congrats on 50k. You deserve it. Keep the good work going!

Hello defyn , loved the vid , would love to see a vid about the German F4F please 🥺

I have just come back to play this thing, and with the up br ing of the su25 and a10 mean it stops at high alt and can the clean up by attacking from above on the remaining players

Congratulations on the 50K DEFYN! You deserved every single one of them and they are the result of nothing but hard work, sprinkled with some talent. Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to those surprises/announcements you mentioned :)

Starting the video with holding down the trigger… this one’s gonna be good

Man thanks to you I started getting three to four kills per game and I don’t die at the start of the match anymore. The tips you give are absolutely amazing!

this is the plane that proves that having the best performance is futile when the rest has better armament than you.

Could please revist this plane if possible for you thank you.❤

To be honest the fact that someone that puts out such good content and has 50k subs is a crime. I'm sure the channel will only grow!

DEFYN can you play the T-2 again?

I get killed by missiles every time 😢 they ALWAYS hit me no matter what I do

I consider these magic food in my very subpar Jaguar.

4:05? 🤨

This plane should be so much better. That radar is terrible and not one flare. So I don’t use it at all.

Dont forget if in a A-10 just "Spray and Pray"

I fucking hate playing the Phantom C with all my being.

F4C is my favorite. Earn LOTS of SL with it

This is one of my favorite planes in War Thunder.

The f 4c is monster in ground RB

What si that ACM radar ur using and how do I get that on my F4c?

Congrats on the 50k bro keep it up!

Just dropped a 5k with it when theres no op missile spam the thing is a dream

10 months later, another 35k deserved subs

(disclaimer) the su 25 spam is still happening 2 updates later

Pure entertainment. Can't wait to fly it in about 5 years lol

now gaijin in modern time puts this thing against 9Ls

Watching you energy trap the premium/squadron vehicle people is fucking hilarious.

i thought the phantom was faster than the mig 29 with 1600 mphs

I don't want to ask you to make another video for the F-4 E, but could you maybe just give some quick thoughts on the plane and where it sits in the current meta and (especially early game) how to engage the enemy/ things I could leverage to my advantage with it over its peers? Also, if its just one of those hard to use ones I'll just go grind the F-4J and be a missile bus. Thank you again for all the amazing content, I wish you the best and maybe one of these days I'll end up on that patron list.

50K a year ago? 137 in august24

Should I use Rectangular radar or the arc radar

I really like how they up-tiered it to 10.7

My favorite wt creator been binging your videos

tbh, killing F-4C's is a past time favorite hobby for me to do xD I liked doing it in the MiG-19S because I knew that they were always stupid enough to dogfight me, and I still love doing it when using the MiG-21MF and F-104

hmmmm u gonna be getting a decal or u got your heli job :/

can you please fly the p51d5 or d20

F-4C at 10.0 minutes of fuel is an absolute monster performance...🤣. You can dogfight f-5C and A-5C easily...

You clipped the A5's wing spars. Saw it in the combat feed.

THANK YOU for this video! I struggle with f4c. even Mig f-13 gives me less trouble than this thing. and i have a question my radar missals never track or hit, how do i combat this?

Day 5 of asking for you to fly the f9f cougar again

thank god for Mr.Pagman 🤣 14:03

1:12 "You are very hot" Well, thank you

Hey, could you do a video about the first MIG-21, the F-13? Coincidentally I find myself getting r**** all the time by the F-4C, but managed to kill some when they get slow too.
