me watching this video, knowing damn well im still gonna make the same mistakes after understanding the concepts

[@DEFYN]

If it helps you 30% of the time that's still an improvement :)

[@Xiphactinus]

@@DEFYNthis video has a 50% chance of getting you to understand all of the concepts, but don't worry, the last 20 people to watch it all understood!

[@vishakhanshivaneshan8740]

instructions unclear: i just watched the top gun movie and did the kvochur maneuver

[@spacy256]

During the first day of the dev server I had an Su-27SM try to pull a kvochur maneuver thinking he was hot shit. He quickly learned that American planes have 20mms

[@jaek_898]

Can't wait to deal with Python 4 which uses both types of IRCCM at the same time

[@JustMinna]

its balanced trust me bro (wont it be easier to flare since its seeker shuts off but its FOV is so small so if you maneuver away it wont relock you as easily?)

[@GeneralLee2000]

I'm really worried we get it next update...

[@MD-wn4ui]

I wonder what will be worse in war thunder to deal with. The combo of suspension and gate width or however they implement the imaging IR seeker of the 9X and python 5.

[@vavord5181]

R-27T/ET both use the gate width IRCCM and that AIM-9M-type of thing.

[@zayf1760]

Funny thing is Magic 2 should get the same irccm

[@MZIH]

Seek’s honest reaction:

[@TurnerBoat]

His reaction when his video is obsolete within 5 hours? Must be quite painful indeed. I pity the attempt that he tried to assemble that video in a day just because he knew Defyn was creating this so he could profit of it. This is a 2 minute microwave meal that's still half frozen vs the meal that was grown on own land and cooked over 3 days. I never comment but in general...Man even I am annoyed

[@absboodoo]

I just finish watching Seek's video and it lead me straight to here. lol

[@salltyboi]

Seek and Defyn beef incoming

[@notfunny3397]

​@@TurnerBoat I'm pretty sure these videos take quite a while to make, unlikely that they could have copied each other I think. Then again defyn did kinda reveal the video a while ago.

[@cryonic.]

@@TurnerBoat​​⁠u actually made an alt account to comment that? your account is a few minutes older than your comment lol

[@JaesWasTaken]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I was doing some of these things instinctively, but didn't fully grasp why I should be doing them outside of "Hey, this just kinda works." The "Picassos" demonstrating how Countermeasures work in tandem with your engine profile was invaluable!

[@EdgeR2]

me pulling up neg g while flaring like a madman: the R27ER in question:

[@mab2187]

I kinda had difficulty understanding you but I seem to get the point. TLDR: There are 2 ways the missile tries to avoid being fooled by flares: A) Gatewith method aka, the Tunnel Vision method. The seeker during the lock stage has a wide perspective to get an easy lock, once fired-it shrinks or it squints its eye, tunnel vision, straight at you. To fool this missile, just make sure to not afterburn and flare in the path of the missile. (R-73 Archer and R550 Magic 2 use this method). B) Tracking Suspension method aka, the Blink method. The seeker once fired, during its travel it blinks/closes its eye to avoid being distracted by flares. It keeps its eye shut for a second or two. During this time it remembers and calculates to predict where you will be when it opens its eye and tries to relock on to you. To fool this missile, just cut back on your burner and flare a decent amount around you and dodge away, cus you might flare the missile but the missile still could relock you or just simply flied into your proximity. (AIM-9M Sidewinder, AAM-3 use this method).

[@vincea1830]

Kinda missed the important part for both. You want to flare so that wherever your aircraft throws the flares, it must intersect with where your afterburner jet was. Example, if your jet throws flares straight down, and you pull UP, then the flares get dumped BELOW your engine, which means the squinting missile never sees the flares. To counter it, you must flare and then go negative G to make the flares come between your exhaust and the missile.

[@ВячеславФролов-д7я]

AFAIK, you are the first one who came with an actual techniques rather than explanation of mechanics. Great work and thank you for sharing those techniques

[@galacticdragon9841]

The best part of this video is the explanation on how missile seekers work, I don't think many new players actually understand how a missile seeker works in war thunder so using that information players can better understand why you do certain things to flare missiles.

[@Hagop64]

Now that I've watched this, can you delete it so my enemies don't see it too?

[@SerroBourne]

perfect timing for you video - THANKS - I got shot down twice yesterday in Ground RB and thought I need to do some research to find a way to deal with these - now I have the strategy and just need to put it into practice

[@johnfredette7420]

Great guide! Thanks for the info!

[@DEFYN]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gfcc4133]

Ive been watching this channel for a long time, when i first got into the air tree i look at your guides on how to aim and loved your plane reviews. Your lessons on the mechanics of this game have helped not just me but many others. Thank you for your videos DEFYN

[@jasnozreni]

Love to watch someone who is really into what he is doing. Wonderful. :)

[@AddeKnight]

Dude thank you so much for this tutorial! After a few failed attempts I managed to get the technique right, and the results show!

[@zackgonters1669]

He wasn't kidding, he really pulled the best tutorial XD This put everyone else to shame damn lol

[@oofdotcom]

you should do the same but for chaff/radar when the fox3s come

[@DEFYN]

I will

[@altacc0604]

Fox 3s are generally not fooled by chaffs, and as more advanced one comes people needs to know how to actually defend (chaffing notching and flying low (at closer distances) stops working if more advanced ones comes out)

[@M1A2C.]

Assuming multipathing them still works that's what i and most other people will do lol, i don't see the ARB meta being too affected by Fox-3s tbh. Though they're not in game yet so we'll find out just how good they are in a month or so.

[@clankplusm]

@@M1A2C. having played some on the dev, multipathing does indeed work, however they are "less sensitive" to it- You need to nail a much narrower band of altitude for a successful multipath. Notch+ chaffing them is much easier than plane radars / SARH however. And of course, mountains are a good help

[@Ryan-go6id]

@@DEFYN👀

[@СергейНикольский-я2ц]

One little thing - it will work almost 100% of the time in duels but in 16v16 where pretty common situation is when 3-5+ missiles including SARH ones are all coming towards you at the same time from different angles - it won’t help much)

[@Elijah1573]

Yeah sensory overload is pretty much the issue there Defeating IRCCM is pretty easy but when you try to in 16v16 furballs it just becomes a mess

[@urielOrnstein]

@@Elijah1573 R27ER live reaction to flares:

[@SpeedyCraft51]

This was a super useful video, I had a vague intuition on how to counter them based on how the IRCCM works but seeing it through the seeker view and with all the detailed explanations helps a lot to understand why it actually works and how to make it work more effectively.

[@JustAnotherBoredGamer]

I have been searching for this vid for so long and it was worth the search :D well not that long but you get the point :P now that i understand it its feels like the energy mechanic in the lower tiers. the people that do understand will always win against people that dont. but as soon as you do it gets easier, not simple, but if you loose it doesnt feel like you just died to some random bs. Same goes for these missle mechanics. i was always furious to why my flares werent working on them damn strelas but now that i know.... :D nice vid, well made, love it :D

[@ViperFox_]

Woah this is why you are the GOAT! Best flare video hands down!

[@ThePeanut999]

It's here! Only 5 years in the making! Thank you daddy DEFYN!

[@Skynet_15]

Omg the sensor view for these kinds of video is a genuine god send I'm so grateful Gaijin added them cause now we can analyze missile seekers and all, fantastic tutorial overall DEFYN more quality than I was seeking

[@Sergplayz]

For those who who don't want to watch a 17 minute long video, just cut afterburner, turn, and flare once or twice.

[@adoplwt]

Really well done vid, I hope it will help a lot of players ;DD

[@dollin9515]

So what im getting from this- spin, flare, pray

[@dragoneye0979]

In my experience flaring M's, finding the right tempo for dropping flares to keep the seeker head off for longer really helps with avoiding them. I tend to go for about 2-3 pops a second

[@BanjoJo]

I'm at the J35D just before the fun stuff and chaos of top tier - first nation and first time jets. This video has been very informative for my upcoming grinding In simple term: turn off afterburner, use reverse thrust covers if you have - pop flare(s) first, then turn away. Ideally position yourself so the direction of flare remains in the bandwidth area whilst you aren't. Be offset from enemy position, fire flares towards direction of flares and turn slightly away. Roll flare, turn away

[@jakobc.2558]

The information in this video is invaluable.

This is great for if you are 100% paying attention to 1 or 2 people but then you get the furballs and suddenly you are playing a 3d bullet hell game where sometimes the bullets come from targets that are not spotted till they are close enough to hold hands with you. Really would be nice if a certain snail would just give us 8v8 on bigger maps but you know, MONEY.

1. Have more flares than the enemy. 2. Pray

[@OnlinecarshowNet1]

A10 has hundreds though. I put it on periodic when I hit the battle line and get a solid radar hit. Rest of planes I try to keep radar in mind and what find of missile is approaching and use manual flares with chaff. I usually use flare priority till I get to 11 rating. Then a mix.

[@brandonbao7097]

I never seem to have that much luck with IRCCM missiles anyway, for the most part it feels just like normal IR missiles where as long as the enemy flares with enough time the missile will miss. Ground launched IRCCM missiles though seems like literal black magic, no matter how you try to evade it just won't stop tracking you, like the TY-90.

[@Panocek]

Combined shrinking FoV and tracking suspension, with latter taking precedence. But because its narrower FoV, it will update more frequently.

The parenthesis of the parameters of the juxtaposition between the benign and the sublime as the DEFYN confides to his views, the below the the realism, this cubism, deeply stirred the community of in the last few months. DEFYN, who was has over the last 5 years manifested himself has the interpreter of war thunder to great acclaim, has responded with Just Flare". with the utterance of two words, how sublime, reminiscent of the Daoist manual written in 500BCE. Its compact nature opens up a whole new world of possibility of interpretation for the player base manifests itself as the law of nature in the war thunder ideal Just watch the video and learn to flare (why tf are you reading this)
