The breakdown and play-by-play analysis is fantastic! It really helps explain the logic to someone who isn't very good at executing the correct maneuvers during dogfights. I think these kinds of videos are very valuable to someone who is trying to improve. Please make more!

Digging the detailed replay! Nice work man on creating new/better content! Keep up the great work, best War Thunder channel

[@Flayrr872]

Sorry to hear some of the footage got corrupted, hopefully that won't happen again for your sake! Regarding the detailed use of the replays, I personally don't really have a problem with them. Most of your content is focused on individual fights and adapting to the quirks of the aircraft you fly, so the added depth is insightful for when we attempt to apply similar logic in our matches. What I will say though is that if you talk more about remedies for the mistakes of your opponents, then all of your videos will in essence include a "Pilot Academy" segment. If that's what you want, I wouldn't mind, but I still have a preference to learn how *you* approach and adapt to situations, if that makes any sense?

[@MrDJBrucey]

The replay mode with different perspectives is awesome! Cheers mate! 🙂

[@ishannage248]

[@martijn9568]

[@jacobdonnely2608]

The replay segment you did was quite nice, i liked you showing how quick the enemy was actually going. "6v6 every game, and 4 of them will be ju288c's." I've been complaining about 6.0ish matchmaker being awful for like a full year now man. It's been this way for ages and I honestly am doubting at this point that gaijin will ever fix it. That whole BR range is cursed because of it.

[@TheHazmate]

Its such a goddamn shame, because my favorite plane is at that tier, the Tempest mk 2. Superprops are so fun to fly but 6v2ing the two poor German fighters then spending the rest of the game chasing JU 288s which might very well just end up onetapping you with MG 151s.

[@farmcat9873]

I used to get them 6 vs.6 types of games but since the roadmap thing they have done. I have been playing the 6.3 American P51 and I get full rosters of teams. Also have been playing this premium F-7F-3 a lot as well and I have not got any of the small match-up games and just get either 6.0-7.0 teams and or 5.7-6.7 teams and more often 5.3-6.3 teams and it's pretty nice from my experience from there special little road map changes. Maybe you play at a low count of player base time during the night/day or whatever.

My favourite plane, in a video length of 20:33, as Im alt tabbed from one of my favourite games Metro 2033. Thank you for catering specifically to me Defyn

[@Ravnican127]

Really like the breakdown in the replay system. I wouldn't mind seeing more of this. To add a little to the spitfire kill, he could have avoided the attack (or at least made it harder) by rolling over and reversing his turn. At the speed DEFYN was going it would have been difficult to reverse the diving turn and get guns on still.

[@masondegaulle5731]

He tried to do that, but that's what Defyn means by 'he reacted late, then too early'. If the spitty was watching, he should have been angling gently into Defyn to try and cut perpendicular, then sharply turn under and up just before Defyn had a solution @ 800m+/- CD. Absolutely zero chance Defyn would be able to pull anywhere near hard enough to engage. By trying to cut under with no speed, the wrong angle and _while Defyn was still 1.4km out,_ Defyn was able to easily pull, follow the turn and rake him down.

[@agislycoudis4139]

The detailed replay was rlly nice!would be nice if you did more of em

[@TehCheezMan]

I really enjoy your use of the replay system to show both your movements as well as the other player. It's literally twice the amount of information about the engagement as opposed to a typical War Chunder video where creators just do live/playthrough commentary. Nice to see up close and personal how players could have avoided being breakfast. The pace of the video seems way slower than your usual, maybe if you take a few less pauses while explaining the dogfight. Great video though. Thanks for sharing!

[@gliderfs621]

The thing is that most of the newbies jet players keep their plane low on the deck. You, with your superprop of your choice, just have to click them out of the sky right after a ludicrous high speed dive.

[@rainsilent]

Early jets want to stay below ~4km to maximize their performance advantage over props anyways. The key is keeping enough alt in the bank that you can enter a shallow dive and keep every prop at bay. Most players have no real understanding of any tactics, never mind jet vs prop tactics. This reason is why so many people think that props can face jets when in reality they really shouldn't. The higher in alt you go the smaller the speed advantage jets have and the larger the relative speed range that props have better acceleration is. Basically the higher in alt you go in a jet the smaller the room for error you have over props, for the most part anyways.

[@A_mouse_that_is_pink]

Moral of the story: any plane is op if defyn is flying it

[@farmcat9873]

I have been playing the F7F-3 a lot lately and it's really nice to kill them CANCER Ju-288's 🤯This double prop plane has some REALLY nice guns set up on it and it's VERY sweet.
