Man this is high quality stuff. You deserve far more views and subs. Keep at it bro. Your quality will catch on. I added this comment and pressed the bell notifications for the algorithm for you.

[@yuridreamski2812]

Great stuff! Thanks!

[@mrmeowsir2355]

I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve watched this vid. So much good information. This creator is going places.

[@petrrosslerjr]

Long but comprehensive video tutorials with demonstrations aren't common in the WT community, which makes me appreciate them all the more because I have an idea of how much work goes behind it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and going to check out your previous videos. Thanks. You have a new enthusiastic subscriber. You'll be my @DEFYN junior 🙂

[@Sam_Savatage]

Many thanks for making this, Mac! Your video is really helping me to play the 109 to it's strengths. Hell, just yesterday I was able to pull off a solo carry against five enemy fighters in my G10. I've never been able to do something like that before and this video deserves a lot of credit for making that happen. You got yourself another subscriber.

[@TheCodMineMan]

This is such a high production video man, you really know your stuff. Wonderful video, I hope the KZbin algorithm blesses you

[@Wtsmyageagain]

Just commenting to let you know that your content is exactly what people like myself are looking for. High quality footage from a guy who knows what he's talking about and going through all the decisions he makes in a match, seriously awesome stuff man. All the more impressive with how young you are, congrats on graduating and good luck with everything you pursue.

[@arminferdinand5849]

Damn this came out with waaay more production quality than I expected. Also pretty good to show up in a few matches :)

[@oskiboiix_playz9026]

This video is amazing right now im struggling in the swedish air tree with the 109 and this is an extremely high quality video with complicated information delivered so simply well done and keep it up man!

[@KoljaGamer]

8:10 If I remember correctly, the Bf 109s had automatic propeller pitch. The Pilots would change the boost pressure (in at/ata/atü [kgf/cm²]; 1 at ≈ 0,980 bar) and the prop pitch atomatically adjusts to set pressure. There is also the Ladedruckanzeige (boost pressure indicator) inside the cockpit, pilots would more likely fly with this indicator rather than prop pitch. Note: I’m not native English speaking and also not an engineer, so maybe Ladedruck is more likely translated to manifold absolute pressure in the context of a Bf 109 DB 605 engine.

[@Steve-s4b]

I didn't realize you were so young until you mentioned just graduating in a more recent video. Your presentation style is great, you're very articulate and you teach in a very approachable manner. I hope your channel grows and grows! Thanks for helping us fly better!

[@matthewjones5667]

This was very well illustrated and articulated, well done. I have not one bad thing to say and you play the energy game well! You made a comment about the F4 being sluggish now…if you take “Instructor” off you’ll become much more nimble and maneuverable at the cost of stability. You can easily stall or snaproll if you’re rough on the stick. It’s like flying a different plane allowing you to be much more aggressive. Someone like you could outturn a spitfire with the E and F using flaps in the right situations. Keep it up!

[@kspplayerheffele]

thanks for making this video because 109s are my favorites planes in the game and your content is very good, you explain what you are doing like defyn. Very good content and high quality gameplay

[@nicolasmethout7082]

It’s always a joy to see your content, it’s entertaining but also very educational, nice job dude!

[@DrunkOnChocolateMilk]

I've just started getting back into WT this week after years of not playing. I'm very happy I found your comprehensive video as I left off after getting the F4 and F4 trop and I'm looking forward to getting the rest of the 109's. You got a sub from me, keep the content going, I love seeing the quality prop air rb content.

[@SheriffsSimShack]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/naKqd61njql4mMk The reason for this is explainable. You dont control RPM in manual mode but directly prop pitch. Meaning in a 51 if you control the RPM manually (which was the case in reality all the time) the prop pitch govenor changes the propeller pitch to achieve the set RPM (100% = 3000RPM) Meaning if you go fast the pitch is coarse, if you go slow the pitch of the blades are fine. In the 109 this is different. in engine manual mode you dont control the RPM but really the prop pitch. Meaning if you go slow and you set the pitch coarse (

I am mastering BF-109 F1 and I need to tell you, this video is amazing. High quality, amazing content packed with a lot of important information. Watched it fully at one go and I will be back once I start playing for sure! Good job man, keep it up!!! PS I need to somehow improve my aim, I need to be BF 109 beast with those canons

[@camo4635]

One of the best 109 tutorials I have seen.

[@Vordstar]

i improved instantly after watching this, great vid man

[@v3es473]

The prop pitch works differently because, with almost everyone else prop pitch controls the RPM of the propeller (except stuff like the ITP M-1). But in german planes the prop pitch actually controls the propeller pitch directly. So if you set the prop pitch to 100 on something like a P-51 , the propeller will set its prop pitch automatically to maintain 100% RPM. In the case of the 100% prop pitch on a 109 or 190 or almost any other german prop however, you will set the actual pitch of the propeller to max, which at higher speeds makes it turn at a higher RPM than the engine allows. If you have the engine off or at idle that's okay because the engine itself is revving very low, so the increase in RPM caused by the propeller is not gonna cause it to go over the rev limit. However if you do the same while giving the engine more throttle, the engine increases its RPM and does the combustion cycle at according speed, but with the propeller speeding it up further that will cause the engine to knock, combustion to occur at the wrong time, breaking/bending the crankshaft, destroying the valves, etc.

[@slavicgondola1817]

Dude this video is just what i needed, i used to be more of a Yak 3/ La 7 but i wanted to try out something a little more high altitude and the 109s always seemed nice and this really helped me understand how to better utilize the strengths of the plane.

[@KikThunder]

18:57 The way you just Continue to fire even tho the plane was destroyed was crazy

Your videos are absolutely joyful to watch! Really helpful and also entertaining at the same time.

[@varesin2978]

Well that was great to watch, I didn't expect such quality and all the info You provided. It definitely helped me refresh my memory on how to play Bf's, I had some successful games after the video, more than usual, so thanks I guess :D

[@merttt0x]

thank you brother, you helped a lot of people and one of them is me. this video is very high quality and helpful exactly tells you to what you do in each situations hope you get more subs

[@L-M-A-O144]

i am relatively new player(lvl 16) and grinded bf 109 F4, and going to research this treeline further, 'cuz i need CAS aircrafts for Ground RB and Bf 109s are more universal, they are somewhat manouverable(in comparison with other german aircrafts) and have bombloads. Thanks for the video, was very informative, i hope it will help me to grind other aircrafts of german tech tree

[@KoljaGamer]

Just a minor correction to the start (4:04): The 7.92 mm MG 17 were built by Rheinmetall and not by Mauser. But the 20 mm MG 151/20 were built by Mauser. :)

[@chrisgilding6296]

What a guide 10/10 I hope there will be more like a Spitfire Or P-51 done this way,thanks

[@nationalnightlynews8553]

very good vid, has been very useful in helping me go from hating the 109s to liking them a fair bit :) if you are taking video suggestions, would appreciate a g.56 video, its not a very specialized plane, but it is pretty fun

[@kizvy]

I love the bf 109, especially the e7. Second plane I got an ace in freely

[@gaborgoda8808]

Im still a beginner with bf109s but always use these tactics, obviously i still make mistakes often, but sometimes it feels like, every plane is better then the 109 at climbing and energy fighting. A36 climbed 2000 meters for me, kept up with my 500 kmph and couldnt get him off my tail even with the ascending tactics. It is like tradeing tactics, it works until it doesnt. then it is a nightmare.

[@MacWithGun]

@@gaborgoda8808 it’s good to know the plane you are fighting. If you were at low altitude during this, the a36 without gunpods is actually pretty fast below 2500m, so I would use a steeper climb and let his worse vertical energy retention fail him.

[@sherlockhooves574]

Technical note - you mention diving or performing a split-s maneuver to "gain energy" a few times throughout this video. Those gain you *speed*, which is not the same thing. You end up losing energy in a dive, and even more in a split-s.

[@cedriktremblay-d9h]

awsome man ! im new to the game but im doing really good .. watching you merge like this whit it made me be better at energy trapping ! awsome content !i should of watched it day 1 instead of day 16 Plz keep making these kinds of videos ! also when you said the f4 is good aswell what is the major difference whit the f4 and trop ? i noticed the f4 has a little bit better engine is that it ?

[@JohnAdams-fm4gt]

Clean ass intro clean dives and execution

[@gurumagoo]

If Im in a close fight at a disadvantage and I'm close to the the other aircraft, I like to give him a burst. A lot of inexperienced players hear that and assume I must actually have a shot, when in fact, I don't. They will often go on the defense instead of pressing their turn in an attack, and that's often all I need.

[@ashleymock4941]

Well, play the game, lol you will get a sense for where to aim after a while, practice in test flights and use your smaller caliber guns with tracers.

[@VansElite]

Please make one vid for F4U-7 kinda deppresed how to climb

[@pandablackster]

Omg this is a really useful guide! Very nice, one question this type of tactics can be used also with the fw190d13? I'm struggling with his poor elevator controls

[@MacWithGun]

Thanks! You can use these same tactics, but you can’t be as aggressive in energy traps because the 190D has worse energy retention in the vertical and turn

[@pandablackster]

@@MacWithGun i will try! thx

[@ebastian_x]

every new player should watch this video

[@MIBHorns-uq4tn]

Thanks for this! What are your thoughts G10, vs G14, vs K4?

[@MacWithGun]

G14 is basically a slightly lighter g6 at 5.3 K4 is all around best, since it has better performance at altitudes below 5km and is faster than the g10. I’d only use the g10 for altitudes over 6km

[@kitkatfisher7018]

Could I ask what you guys think of Gun Pods on these? Personally I'm a really bad shot but if the negative is too much I'll not use them. Thanks

[@MrMrSpok]

I understand you prefer the G-6, but if you have recorded a good games with the BF 109 F-4, I would greatly appreciate a video adding a text analysis of "what you do and why you do it", just like in the YAK-9U video from 23.02.2024 which also concludes with a 7-kill battle with an F-4.

[@DzinkyDzink]

Do you play the entire match with MEC on? The old school tip was to only use it during climb and inbetween fights to cool the engine off.

[@MacWithGun]

I do play the entire match with MEC, yes. I find it more efficient, because if my engine is overheating I can simply open the radiators slightly more, or do whatever else. I can also do other tricks easier, such as the German airbrake.

[@Mono02007]

Also the k4 has a longer vertical stabilizer

[@hectornajar5835]

If you havent could you do a setting video?

[@MacWithGun]

I’ll cover my settings in the near future!

[@Saiko-sj6yp]

I don't understand how to control the manual engine but i want to try it soon 😂. A question, is 109 still good without controlling the manual engine?

[@0GTXR]

I remember reading about 109s having some sort of low speed thrust bug decreasing performance. Is this still the case?

[@NHDbrouf117]

Doesn't seem like it. You had to use manual prop pitch below 200kp/h, and put it to 70% (or lower if at higher altitude). This allowed the aircraft to float in the air, in the exact same way that Mac showcased, but since he wasn't using this trick it means that it has been "fixed" by implementing it to the auto prop pitch.

[@MacWithGun]

Yeah later 109s 4.7 and above, especially the k-4 have a problem where their engine goes kaput at speeds below 240kph IAS, losing around 1/3 of its horsepower

[@blacktiger974]

@@MacWithGun I remember reading that a similar effect exists in all aircraft in WT and that it's a realistic behaviour.

[@clariidfisherman3702]

@@blacktiger974yes. That is because propellers lose efficiency at lower speeds. They kinda act like rotating wings and “stall” at low speeds like planes do. However, 109s have another prop pitch trick where below 250kph, you can turn on manual prop pitch and set between 64-70% prop pitch to pull thrust out of thin air. I recommend staying at exactly 64% to get the most effect without overheating and over revving the engine too quickly. You can use it to float in stall fights and it’s saved my virtual life lots of times
