Using the Gripen A to grind the Gripen C is really no big difficulty, because the A still holds up so well in close engagements and if you're not an idiot it's pretty trivial to approach people without dying to Fox-3's.

[@Benjaminsquad391]

Thank you Defyn for your amazing videos that makes my day. Very funny, very informative, very stylish 👍

[@GeoDracu]

Currently my favorite jet and my favorite strategy since the start of the Fox-3 patch. I love the UK Gripen as well since the R-Darders tend to fly up even when shot from short range which sometimes means they avoid the ground more than AIM-120s so they can be better in close near to the ground fights.

[@jeremydeel1514]

This also works VERY WELL with the micas on the 2000 5f. They pull so hard after the buff. And like you said it’s just fun to force the enemies hand. A lot of people tend to panic and I’m pretty sure I made a F-15c player shit his pants the other day doing this.

so true that you need to enjoy the core gameplay of whatever you're playing for it to make sense. If you don't enjoy the core gameplay, reframe your thoughts and consider if the game is right for you. If you still want to play it then consider how you can enjoy each and every match. If you're not having fun then don't keep playing, because games are for relaxation not an extra job.

For no reason am more scared of fighting the gripen than any other plane in air battle

[@GOFFYASSCHANEL]

ah yes the gripen(is) you can basicly agro the enemy and dogfight until you get TK by friendly missle

[@sadrootbeer]

Can you do a vid on the Su27sm/ J11A? Because im stuck in the J11A and that thing is just such hot dogshit to fly in top tier rn. Like I can't figure out what it's strengths are. Sucks at dogfighting, sucks in BVR, weaker missiles, bad radar, 1-2 DL channels, not alot of cm's compared to other top tier jets. Only thing I can think of is it has more missiles and better IRCCM heatseekers. But how often are you using those?

[@GeneralArmchair]

It doesn't have any strengths. It doesn't even have "better" IRCCM heatseekers. Just different, and the 9M IMO is arguably better in most use cases. My advice is to fly like a rat down by the ground. Use terrain like canyons and mountains to try to sneak your way into pitbull range and then fling R-77's at people from close range. Unfortunately you'll STILL be at a disadvantage since your ACM mode only has 10km range to your opponent's 19km range. But it's better than the suicide of attempting BVR with the R-77 or Fox-1's.

nice playstyle havent gotten any fox3s but dont like them if they hit me can you make a vid to explain how to fight theese missles with good planes but without fox3s like the mig29g?

[@skye1840]

Here's the trick, you fly defensive (passive) and just hope you don't get pushed by the FOX-3 slinger. Sounds fun right?

[@Loudward__]

@@skye1840You don’t have to fly passive.

[@Loudward__]

You can if you want just play super agro on the deck with 29G and hope you can get close enough to prevent people from fucking off to stop you from killing them with your ER’s. If you feel overwhelmed you can just fly away because you are the fastest thing on the deck.

[@skye1840]

@@Loudward__ Of course you don't have to, by all means you can chose to not play passively. You can ground hug, use terrain and go aggressive but if you get caught out you're SOL. You don't really have enough countermeasures to be spamming chaff against radar missiles, and being the fastest on the deck is irrelevant if you're inside the MAR, and besides if you notch you reduce your speed and allows your bandit to close in putting you in a worse position. Yes, your missile kit is good. The ET / ER and r73 + HMD combo is lethal but you still need to get the drop on people. If they know you're there and they have FOX-3s they can just force you away because while your best counter needs to maintain lock all the way in, they can just fire and forget and put you in a notch. If you do get close and into the merge you are quite capable of beating the likes of Flankers and F-15s, but getting there in the first place is the problem given the above concerns.

[@caleb6942]

BVR means beyond visual range, basically the meta is to fire missles at targets really far away and hope they dont try to avoid them, if youve ever been killed by an F-14 from across the map by aim-54’s thats what im talking about

[@stygian85]

What setup do you use? Mouse and keyboard? Hotas? Controller? Always curious because you make the flying and looking around wilde changing direction look so fluid and you seem to have precise control over your rate of pull in turns. Always trying to improve my games.

[@Kumyar]

The "notch" is so funny to me in WT, it might actually be worse then DCS lol. All you have to do is hit the 90° for a second and puff, missile notched. Actually i take it back, itsnot worse then DCS, chaff works in WT. What a weird time for military sims 😅

[@Viviana088]

Someone did a video about missiles in dcs and countermeasures. Countermeasures are rng and you can notch everything even though most modern missiles are almost impossible to notch 😂 war thunder as of current has a more accurate simulation but I mean its just that a simulation not the real thing.

[@Kumyar]

@@Viviana088 If you read the second part, you would have seen that i was joking. DCS does a terrible job at "simulating" notch. WT isnt much better. I mean look how Defyn "notches" multiple times just by hitting 90° for 1 second and being higher then the missile and enemy radar. You gotta be in the ground clutter, slow and spew chaff like crazy to notch one.

Defyn, do you think the Gripen should perform that well? We have a lot of delta wings in the game and they are usuallly super high drag so it cuts into their performance. But that thing flys so very good. I wonder if it was because if they made it bad they wouldn't sell as many premiums? So it is naturally outpacing the other nations?
