It was a hell of a surprise to see a video on the SMT, because that's exactly the plane I've been struggling to stock grind recently. Seeing you slam those plane with the water pistol was incredible :D. I was literally doing the pogger face after that shot on the F-5C in 22:16

[@Welterino]

My jaw dropped automatically and I only noticed it after about 30 seconds, absolutely incredible shot.

[@erikglas2]

Greetings, i am one of the F5C Players shown to be missled by you, and i do have to admit that i have a tendency to be caught blindsighted. As much as i like to think im not a good top tier player and any advice is welcomed

[@PerriThePlatyPilot]

I‘ve been playing the F-5C extensively and you can outrate a lot of Planes, MiG-21s of all sort included. The thing is: it only works while keeping your speed above Mach 0.9. The Engine produces a lot of Power compared to it being at Mach 0.7, so basically…. as soon as you bleed to much speed in a rate fight, you Uno Reverse Card your own ass.

[@jimjamjoeyjoejoe]

I've been playing the F-5C a lot too, I don't get how to outplay a MiG-21. Even a worse player will outplay you, they speed up quicker, have higher top speed, can beat you in a turn fight, have missiles that work, just seems to be an all round superior plane. Oh, and now they can also put out their fires.

[@PerriThePlatyPilot]

@@jimjamjoeyjoejoe How long have you been playing the F-5C? As a rule of Thumb: yes the MiG-21 can stomp you, but ironically; the strengths of the F-5C are also the MiG-21‘s weaknesses. The F-5 has an amazing energy retention, while the MiG-21 sheds a lot of speed in a turn. You can go Mach 1, do a 180 and you‘ll start gaining distance on the MiG-21. You also have guns you can Aim and they also hit quite hard for it‘s caliber. So in a nutshell: you‘ll outrate a MiG-21 if you keep it at Mach 0.9 - 1.0. Rolling scissors won‘t work, but going Vertical at that speed might bleed them a lot of speed. In the end it‘s a matter of tactics, a good MiG-21 Pilot will clap your cheeks so play your cards right and you might get away with it.

[@hectormeynell8792]

@@PerriThePlatyPilot Don’t go vertical loops against mig 21. Even if the mig will bleed more speed, it’ll go faster upwards and can point the nose with its AoA. Try and force sustained rate fights.

[@ДушманКакдела]

If you're bleeding speed in a rate fight then you're not doing it correctly. To rate fight you need to stay within your planes optimal rate speed, if you're constantly pulling max G turns ofc you're going to bleed yourself of speed.

[@Peddochiddo]

I'm starting to fly top tier, and I'm finding it very hard to get reliable information on the current meta or even simply how each aircraft stacks against the others. Many videos are outdated, new jets added, armaments changed... I'm using the F-4EJ Kai and feel like I have no way to influence the outcome of the battle, what is my role and how to stay useful and safe at the same time. It most probably comes down to my lack of experience, but so far I'd rather fly the Mitsubishi F-1 with which I can do decently well... and if I'm not mistaken, that thing isn't exactly the best at 10.3 What I'd like to know is: at 11.3, can I influence the outcome of my matches or is it more of a coin toss? If yes, is there any chance you Defyn could give us some pointers? Thanks for all your previous guides, they have always been useful

First, I just want to say that I really enjoy all your videos and wish I had the knowledge you do. Secondly, I'm curious on why you didn't shoot a missle at the F-8E, at 14:39. He was at the top of his loop, slow speed, about 1.8km away and you had a lock on him.

[@officertommy7523]

I can't be entirely sure, but I think the reason why DEFYN didn't shoot his missile at the F-8E was because the F-8E was a free guns kill. Typically, missiles are often used as a utility to encourage/discourage an enemy's action or to remove people from the match quickly with little hassle, and using a missile against someone who is hanging from the air is a bit of a waste in that regard, as you're throwing away a utility that could have easily been saved. It's only with hindsight that we can say that DEFYN should've fired a missile there, as we know the outcome of him missing the F-8E.

[@espressocookie8965]

2 main reasons. 1. The F-8E has flares, and R-60s are very flare hungry 2. He was confident that he would hit that shot, and didn't feel the need to waste a missile
