[@n1thecaptain965]

02:19 that's because the radar gunsight calculates based on the assumption that the target will fly straight from the second you pull the trigger, which in dogfights is of course wrong. It essentially makes it so you have to remove any radar lock you have (inlcuding a TWS lock) to get the regular gunsight back so you can guess where to aim with a reticle actually pointing where your guns are pointing as opposed to guessing with a reticle that's all the way in Narnia. Edit: it is very accurate when the target is flying straight, it's basically a free pilot snipe from almost any range if they do that, but since you can't count on the enemy to fly straight in general, especially not in a dogfight, that only makes it a gimmick at best.

@@SemkaMmurilowe can only cope

[@MessInMines]

The radar gunsight only indicates how much you should lead the gun, and nothing else. For example, if your target is going in a linear path from your POV, then the radar gunsight will work perfectly. If it's manoeuvring, then just aimaing the radar gunsight will just never hit. What I do is that I get in a favorable position (like above the target) then use the radar gunsight to get the correct lead, and then I spray a little to the right and to the left for good measure. Often you can tell where the target is deviating to and correct for it on the fly. Well, as long as you understand the only 100% reliable information it gives you is lead, it's a pretty useful tool.

I am spading the Mig-29A (GER) right now and gotta say even stock its a beast and with all the performance upgrades I actually won several 7 kill matches yesterday. Hands down best plane in WT right now. My only gripe with it is that the radar scale scope does not change and the refresh rate on it is pretty slow. F-14 comes in second place and Mig-23MLA would take the third IMO. I don't like the F-16. I spaded the american one, played the Chinese one but they all feel like big meh. Even had more fun in J-7E in full uptier than F-16. I think the F-16 would fare much much better in 4v4 matches as you could focus more on sustained ratefighting and not worry about getting third partied. But right now? When they changed matches to 16v16? In these 32 player matches, F-16 without FOX3 is completely outclassed.

I have an F-16 but not an MiG-29... but I am always amazed at how responsive the MiG-29 seems by comparison. The F-16 feels like a brick at high speed, and while it is generally good at defensive flying, you need to often pop the airbrakes so you can pull hard enough to avoid guns/missiles. Watching the MiG-29's flight performance and missiles just make it seem like it is a far superior plane in almost every way.

[@MD-wn4ui]

The snail hates all NATO nations and buffs Russian vehicles.

[@paraweld9838]

The f-16 has a modeled g-limiter iirc while most other planes don't which makes it seem brick-like. If taken to the same liberties as other jets (NATO included) it should be significantly more nimble

[@Broomtwo]

@@paraweld9838 Agreed, the g-limiter might make sense if they are trying to be realistic as possible... but when every other plane can pull insane g's it becomes a real balance issue. Like when I fly my F-14, its performance is obviously not meant to be as good as the F-16, but that thing can do crazy maneuvers when you stomp on the elevator. This is not to say flying the F-16 is like suffering or anything, its a good plane, but it does feel like having one arm tied behind my back.

[@jaek__]

​@@paraweld9838 It's not a G-limiter, I can go to 13g just fine, it's an AOA limiter that becomes lest problematic at low speed since the F-16's yaw, pitch, and elevator authority at low speed was/is still overpeforming. If you duel/test FM you'd know the F-16 could beat literally everything in a 1v1, now the MiG-29 can actually win since their AOA is about the same. The MiG-29 is still hilariously underpeforming, but what can you do.

[@Julio_Tortillia]

@@jaek__ The MiG-29 and F-16 aren't really under/over performing anymore. The only FM problems right now are that MiG-29 cant do a proper cobra (which in dogfights really doesn't matter since you'd need to turn off instructor and if you do that theres a very big risk of just going into a flat-spin) and that the F-16 cant pull 9Gs at mach 1.1+ even though it should be able to IRL. When it comes to dogfights, both fighters are performing exactly how they should. The MiG-29 is better in the first few turns but in sustained dogfights, it doesn't do well. And thats exactly how it should go as the F-16 is one of the best rate fighters even in modern times.

Coming back to the idea of separating flares and chaffs, it's a very good idea but I'm afraid Gajin won't implement it for one very simple reason: newer players won't be able to distinguish SAHR from IR etc, so it will be an obvious hurdle not technical but experience, which would be related in the game.

Simple: make it an option that creates two new binds instead of one countermeasure bind.

[@collander7766]

If they don’t end up adding it, I can guarantee that is *not* the reason lol. Gaijin doesn’t cater this game around the lowest common denominator. They could easily add a toggle button, allowing you to choose between flares, chaff, or flares + chaff just like the “switch secondary weapons” keybind for missiles, bombs, and rockets or “switch primary weapons” for different calibers of guns.

After flying the German MiG-29 a bit and having flown the F-16/F-14 pretty extensively to good effect, I honestly think the fixed FM MiG-29 should have it's R-27ER's removed. The base 27's are already very competent missiles and the ER's just put every other missile to shame, even the Phoenix to a great extent. It's either that or the F-16A gets early amraams but I hardly think that would do well to balance everything else out. TL;DR - MiG-29 has such good missiles and flight performance that it probably doesn't need the 27ER's to still do well. Those were just a lazy addition.

[@Julio_Tortillia]

I dont think ERs should be removed. The normal R27s have abysmal acceleration and way less range, basically completely removing the BVR capabilities of MiG-29. They should rather buff sparrows or add the earliest AMRAAMs with low range to balance out BVR.

Also, the regular r27r's may be slower but they were still very effective in my experience. They had pretty good range. The mig-29's radar is definitely good enough now that the base 27r's have some reach comparable to other contemporaries.

in a 1v1 duel setup, is german mig29 in a feelable way better than russian one?

[@yui.3218]

Been waiting for this.

[@sirsporty6556]

For some reason, other than the odd crazy undodgable R27, I’ve actually been doing pretty well in the J7E at top tier lately even though I only got it about 2 weeks ago. PL5-Bs certainly help of course, but I’ve had a whole bunch of dogfights against 12.0s and I literally haven’t lost one for some reason, and I feel like I probably should have by now. Is the J7E still the strongest 1v1 plane in the game, or is it just that I’ve played against 12.0 “noobs” every single time? 🤷‍♂️😂

[@OzzyTheWild]

It’s probably the best top tier dog fighter jet in the game. If you can approach the 4th gen without dying and they started to dog fight with you, it’s normal that you destroyed them

[@jaek__]

​@@OzzyTheWild Ehhh, I mean you're still going to lose to F-16's and MiG-29's in the dogfight pretty regularly if they know what they are doing, it's a misnomer to call it the 'best' by any stretch of the matter, the Falcon, Fulcrum, and even Tomcat will rinse you.

[@OzzyTheWild]

@@jaek__ considering that it’s a 11.0 and that you will fight in 10.0 40% of the time. It’s pretty impressive

[@jaek__]

@@OzzyTheWild Yes but you called it the 'best' top tier dogfighter, if you even consider 11.0 top tier, in its own BR it's the best, but not compared to the Viper, Fulcrum, or Tomcat.

[@OzzyTheWild]

@@jaek__ Imo, the j7e in a 1v1 is pretty hard to destroy. The f16 and Mig 29 can fight with it, but he j7e have a insane turn rate. Again, its only my personal opinion. Ive the f16 and tried the mig 29 on a friend account for multiple hours.

[@ThePeanut999]

I always use the 24T over the 24R on my mig 23 unless it's those big f*** off maps.

[@bagelmaster2498]

For the gunsight i use lead a little on the nose of a plane if they are turning into me

[@chumby2447]

I literally got so scared at 9:07

[@niojandonker625]

I think the gun computer only calculates velocity, not ballistics, so lead the computer in terms of bullet drop

[@Jojooooooo]

where is my tornado AughhDV video defyn?

[@thekirby53]

more often than not, my team dies withing the first 25 seconds of combat, and im left to 1v8 or more. its like my team is always full if new players. no matter what nation. (i have all planes)

[@covenantslayergaming6362]

Top tier premiums probably aren't helping with that. :(

[@imainhunter]

Can you play the J2M5? They butcher the 30mm Ho 5 this patch. Wanna see your opinion on it now

[@ervin7178]

Fair and balanced 30mm that’s take 6 hits to kill a p38 now

[@imainhunter]

@@ervin7178 balance my ass, killing p38 with japanese 50 cal is faster than with 30mm of the same Ho family

[@wilkosgaming9224]

we need some epic Tornado F3 gameplay

[@_GODSFIGHTER]

The mig 29 is prob one of the top if not then the top best looking top tier jet in the game to me

[@cutthroat795]

M2K?

[@_GODSFIGHTER]

@@cutthroat795 what's that

[@frogsecretaryofswamp452]

i really cant tell if this guy is doing a voice over or a live commentary

[@DEFYN]

Voice over

[@winneracc]

u need to set you gun targeting distance to none if you want the radar gun sight to be accurate

[@PerriThePlatyPilot]

Things I‘ve learned today. The F-16 is a fucking boat…. and since Defyn is enjoying his time in top tier, it‘s better to not go there anytime soon. I don‘t want to end up in a video while getting 360 noscoped from a MiG-29

[@noe8615]

Can we get much higher ?? Sooo highhh

[@regularaccount9167]

Did the R60M get buffed?

[@yesyes-om1po]

when defyn say video is over 😭

[@lukewhitehouse4103]

I love Gaijin all the bugs with both Tornados and Gaijin have the devs working on a jet that's already very playable.

[@aleqsandremchedlidze1959]

Are you a better pilot than a copsi?

[@realhuman3622]

you should go back to the mirage 2000 it got a flight model rework and at low speeds it pulls like a monster

[@hainswurst]

how does your game look that good, mods?
