this is a really good format, way more comprehensive than for the other years where you just pointed to icons. even though it does come with all the normal drawbacks of a tier list, you get to at least point people to a singular timestamp.

[@jetnavigator]

VERY IMPORTANT point for people to note! In this update, base bombing has become severely limited due to the introduction of long base respawns. If you're thinking of buying a premium to grind by bombing, this is no longer a viable method!!

[@viciousslayer]

@@jetnavigator you say this like its a bad thing

[@jetnavigator]

​@@viciousslayerso you think it's a good thing that people waste their money? OK. Sorry you had a bad day or whatever it was that made you feel that way.

[@viciousslayer]

@@jetnavigator bombing does not contribute to the match nor is it entertaining gameplay. Yes, it should be nowhere near as powerful as it is. Its an afk grinding tool.

[@No_Ideas_Man]

The Mirage F1CT's radar is functionally identical to the F1C's, the main difference now is that instead of a old 4 direction RWR the F1C and F1C-200 have, it has an RWR very similar to the Mirage 2000's which I think makes it slightly better than the regular F1C

[@mapa5208]

there that and also for grinding it's very good since you can carry enough for doing 2 base without sacrificing any good missiles (the magic 2) and it doesn't reduce your top speed like a F4

[@sussinhardrn1048]

Quick note to add on the Yak-3 (VK-107): If youre using MEC to try to keep the engine from boiling itself into a liquid, setting the prop pitch down to even like 98-95% DRASTICALLY reduces the heat. Enough to run WEP for basically the entire match.

[@reinbeers5322]

Same story as the Ki-61-Is, cut a bit of prop pitch and you can WEP the entire game.

[@luquai]

Thank you very much defyn! You videos are such a treat for the WT community

[@FumbleSquid]

It's good they made the XP-55 tier 3 so there is more of a reason to fly it than fun. If people are wanting a US tier 3 that isn't braindead like the XP-50, I would recommend it because it basically doesn't compress and has amazing energy retention too. One of my favorites (you should make a video on it btw)

[@DEFYN]

Yeah i agree I was planning on it already :^)

[@bradenhagen7977]

You may want to fly it again. At almost exactly 400mph IAS it bricks HARD. That said it's a wonderful plane.

[@FumbleSquid]

@@bradenhagen7977 Not sure what you are talking about. Just tested it and it pulls 10g at 800kph, 11 at 750, and 13 at 700. The only thing that isn't great is the roll rate

[@DeInHo77]

Awesome vid, lots of useful information in it for me and other pilots. Small correction- the Ayit in the Israeli tree is an A-4N, not an A-4E, which means its engine is WAY better than the E model skyhawks. And you’re absolutely correct that it’s the best 9.3 in the game, lol

[@Winhert]

we just've been gajined

[@No1harris_98]

Tbh for Britain I’d honestly recommend the F4J if you have experience at top tier, I did pick it up in the sale and I’ve been honestly loving it, plus the amount of head on kills I got with the skyflash is very nice.

[@lizardjuice1585]

same thing, its hard to get used to it but when you see the pattern and use the tactic it can be very profitable, I got 3 games in a row whit 30k RP and 100K sl

[@_ace_defective_]

Not like Britain has much else lol. I haven't gotten to that part of the video yet, but the F-4J(UK) is just an F-4J at the same BR but without the HMD or AIM-7Fs, but with a Vulcan. The lack of 7Fs or something like the Skyflash SuperTEMP sucks.

[@No1harris_98]

@@_ace_defective_ tbh in my experience the Skyflashes have been great. Just preference tbh, HMD isnt all that useful with 18G missiles.

[@_ace_defective_]

@@No1harris_98 The Skyflashes IIRC are roughly equivalent to the AIM-7E-2 ingame. So they're okay but the F just has better range, tracking, sustained maneuverability, etc. - it's a huge upgrade. The HMD allows you to also lock your radar early for off-boresight Sparrow shots too and has niche uses with the 9Gs. So that's kind of why everyone shits on the F-4J(UK), it's a downgrade from the F-4J which is a downgrade from the F-4S - all at the same BR. At least it isn't the F-4EJ.

[@No1harris_98]

@@_ace_defective_ yeah that is also true but the Skyflashes just feel more responsive especially in 2 or so km head launch even tho that are essentially the same as the E-2.

It was funny when I played so many games in the F4 ADTW in Japan tree for the last star event and eventually started to get decent in it as you learn what fights you can try to take to slap other players. But it indeed very much feels like it kinda depends on your team not all dying right away so that you can lurk around to kill.

[@piotra71]

Best ever guide to the tech trees. I'm coming back to it all the time to see what planes are worth flying.

[@lilunz]

I have actually had a fair amount of success with the J-7D, though I say that as a somewhat ok pilot who has also completed the USSR tech tree and is used to flying a lot of MiG-21s. I think the addition of the 12.3 bracket reduced the amount of uptiers into 12.0 for the 11.0 jets, making it a bit more doable.

[@jdburton81]

This talisman guide has been very useful! I would love if you made a new video for tier 7 and 8 of each nation for this year's talisman sales. Tier 8 is useful, particularly to know what to grind for.

[@vBuckingham]

As someone who just unlocked rank 6 and is currently researching the T-2 I'm not looking forward to it. Only good thing (if you can even put it that way) is that you can research the F-16 directly with the F-1. But still, no flares...

[@dylparl6057]

[@Martellus89]

Great guide Def! Appreciate your efforts!

[@michaellemasters7173]

I think the A-5C is one of the best premiums and I think Defyn only ignored it because of the high br. It’s a great plane for learning high tier and it’s a great way to get through China quickly. You get all of the good parts of the Mig-19 but with flares and some of the better IR missiles in the game.

[@Fuzeha]

With the stuff i learned from hundreds of kills in the mig-19s, i found the A-5C super fun and very rewarding. The flight performance is still worse than the MiG-19 tho it is closeish

[@nfrost_ian_l8018]

​@@Fuzehathe A-5C used to be better, like, a lot better in terms of performance, but Gaijin nerfed it for the sake of "Balance". It is still really fun to use after all, tho I like to fly the Q-5A more

[@no-legjohnny3691]

I will say, for those who wished there were more bombers on this list, I will say that there are four particular vehicles that are pretty good- but only IF you can handle them properly. 1. The British Avenger Mk2, basically a copy-paste TBF-1C with an extra pair of British knock-off Tiny Tims. HOWEVER, it gets a HUGE SL modifier comparable to the rank 3 premium fighters except it's 1.7 BR. It has a solid payload for reserve BR, the two .50s in the wings are good enough when dealing with enemies, you can actually outturn some early monoplanes using the flaps, and the defensive guns are good enough to keep the kites with guns off your tail. If you need a LOT of SL while spending as little money as possible, this is a good pick, especially if you're only just starting to grind for Britain. 2. The Tu-2S. Now realistically any model of these apply, but the original Soviet pre-44 model is the best one given that (for some reason) the Soviets decided to neuter their 1000kg bombs, so while the Tu-2S gets 636kg of TNT in their 1000kg bomb, the Tu-2S-44 and Tu-2S-59 only has 394kg of TNT in their 1000kg bomb. As far as I'm aware, there's no other differences other than the 59 model having one 12.7mm defensive gun replaced with a 20mm. But realistically any one of these are fantastic aircraft if you're grinding for early jets in either USSR or Chinese tech trees. I got a talisman for free on one and it gave typically 15,000xp per match. It's very similar in playstyle to the Avenger mentioned previously: Good bomb load for a light bomber, decent guns (2 ShVAKs with 150 rounds each), VERY agile with flaps, decent defensive guns for dealing with kites with guns. And 3. Either of the late model Canberras (Canberra B Mk.6 (late) or B-57B). The Brit Canberra is the lighter of the two, having a much smaller payload, but offers much better flight performance. You can climb up to 7,000-8,000 meter altitudes easily and drop your payload on a base before turning your attention to any high climbing aircraft. You can outturn pretty much anything, but you need to be careful at higher speeds since you can easily rip your wings if you pull too hard. Your controls are also a bit sloppier than a fighter, but you have 2000 rounds across 4 20mm Hispano cannons so you can act like a Twitter user and be liberal on the trigger. The American Canberra is a bit different. Your payload is a lot bigger, but your overall flight performance is considerably hampered and your guns are a lot more awkward. While you can still dogfight if you're smart, it's a lot more difficult to pull off since you don't do cartwheels in the air like a gymnastics pro (though this makes it harder to rip your wings), and you don't climb quite as easily as the lighter cousin either. You also start with four high fire rate .50s located outboard of the engines on each wing, making shooting down fighters a tricky ordeal. However, you can replace the wimpy .50s with four 20mm cannons that are identical to the ones on the F-5 Tiger with a fair bit of ammo to boot. Whichever one you choose depends on whether you prefer dogfighting or ground strike. Hope this helps!

[@JockeyStrappers]

A6e premium grind is such a good SL maker. With a 960% multiplier and 11x 1000lbs you have enough for 2 bases plus an enemy plane or some ground units. Talking over 100k sl per match victory and over 64k sl per defeat just getting 3 tons of bombing done.

[@josneyzim6968]

In my oppinion, J-7E, J-8B and J-8F are the funniest jets to play on war thunder, the hard thing is only has 4 missiles on 11.0, but still a good planes to play on close combats at top tier, it´s a lot fun. I would put the booth 11.0 on A tier and J-8F on S

[@seyd5912]

The main problem of the Mig-21 Lazur is that when it gets uptiered its gonna get shafted, on the same tier its decend but in down tiers it is pretty good. (Mainly because u can clap lv. 10 F-5C players)

[@olemansailor6519]

Time 14:54 The F-82E. I really like the plane but I never fly it. The problem is the repair cost. If you want to grind or earn silver lions, this plane for those of us in the average pilot range will spend more silver lions repairing it than farming money.

21:27 It does have slats though no?

[@_ace_defective_]

21:25 the F-4S isn't a hard wing, is it? I thought it had slats similar to the F-4E.

[@weasel1959]

I don't even know if it's still on sale but in my opinion the German Tempest is now better than the D13. Which is hard for me to say because I flew the D13 religiously and have over a 3 KD in it. The Tempest turn performance and the Hispano performance right now makes it very good

[@Oscar_Kashima]

For people planning on getting the F-4S I want to clarify, it actually DOES have slats and they are more aggressive than agile eagle slats so it actually turns better than most Phantoms, although it is unfortunately slower than the F-4J because of this.

[@poisonis165]

Id add that the be-6 is an amazing silver lion printer as well guns allow you to consistently get atleast 2 kills a game and has enough bombs for 2 bases

[@bpop2148]

KA-50 is great for silver lions, if you have premium account and can manage to get a high sl booster from daily I HIGHLY recommend you use it with the KA-50. Play 30 minutes to use the whole booster and you can get 200-500K sl depending on the booster.

[@BillKillerz]

I get so much kills with the Vautour IIN (Late) using the AA Nord, I was the first surprised how effective it is once hooked to a joystick !

[@Kuschel_K]

Is it me or did they nerf the damage from 20mm explosve rounds? I was using the I-225 and usually never had issues with the default belt and this plane has freaking 4 cannons. I was thinking I was only hitting with AP but in protection analysis 20mm rounds won't turn a wing instant black anymore and MG 151/20 did actually the most damage. I also survived getting hit way more without instantly exploding. From test-drive I can confirm that IL-2 can take several hits from 20mm FI-T without instantly losing a wing or tail, which is in my opinion a good change because the damage before was just way over the top.

[@marisakirisame3267]

btw J26 David has different belts from P-51 that don't set fires and don't do anything in general

[@Fuzeha]

I find the MiG-21S actually fantastic, and I dont use the Rocket pods. Its so fucking fast (technically faster than an F-104 but not effectively faster) for the BR that you can just always stay away from the missile buses, I almost never get aim-9Led. The R-3Rs are absolute arrows but you can lead them and they are obv all-aspect, I have a massive soft spot for them and I usually land at least 2, the other thing is no-one really expects them. If ur opponent is dumb u can reverse them and since everyone likes to try and throttle drop you u just win scissor fights a lot. Most of the time its just the speed and climb that just allow you to exit at will. Ofc classic MiG-21 terrible retention so rate fighting is typically not an option unless its a phantom or something but you dont need to rate fight people. I totally understand why It didnt go S, but I just like it a lot - and this is coming from someone who loves the energy fighting/retention playstyle, I played both MiG-19s a lot aswell as the 15bis and the Lim-5P. You do just have to play sort of passively so I see why defyn doesnt like it as much as I do edit: dont come at me if you dont like it or agree, there are a lot of downsides and Its just a plane that I like.

[@ChrisVesgo]

I'm considering a F-5E US talisman just for future to come aircraft so it takes me half the matches to grind them I got talisman on MiG-21MF germany and I gotta say its one of my favorite aircraft, I know its on F-5C BR but I know how to handle them, and some times you get a couple F-105s and F-4Cs without Flares and easy frags, 20-40k RP depending on how the match goes, 60k RP record with 300% booster and thats before the Skill Bonus

[@peachybiscuits]

One small nitpick is that the Mirage F-1C has Super 350F and not 350D's, it would be so much better if it could take the D missiles

[@Badger_325]

love the format and the video was amazing, my only issue was with the placement of the American F-84G. You're right about it consistently going against 8.3 jets but if you bring rockets on the wingtips and then dump them at the beginning of the match, on min fuel you can confidently go up against those 8.3s. If the F-84G gets it's tier or below there's really no aircraft that can keep up with you and you can dictate how dogfights play out. For me it's an easy A tier but I might just be biased xD

Great overview thanks, though I'm surprised you haven't mentioned at all the I-185 (M71) and the Yak3p, both amazing planes as well. For my personal preference I would put those 2 in S tier for USSR, together with I-225, regular Yak3 and La-7. Not a fan of Yak3U at all tbh, and most of the other planes. Out of the premiums for USSR I do love the P47 thunderbolt, great for GRB and not bad for ARB, and the Kingcobra is not bad as well. For Germany S tier for me is the DORA, amazing plane def agree with that one, BV 155 is fun as well got that one from battlepass awhile ago. For USA S tier def XP50, great little plane. Haven't bothered with other nations yet, and not a fan of Jets so far, I do have Mig15bis and Mig19pt, but jesus fuck what a nightmare of a BR where ALL you see are lock on missiles flying your way, NONE STOP. Screw jets.... lol. Maybe one day ill give it a go, but I also enjoy Heli's, Tanks and Ships so I've got plenty to play with.....

[@tt_ttflap]

Just got the Mirage 2000C-s5 as my first rank 8, and honestly, the grind starting from rank 6 isn't too painful. I did get lucky in the sense that it was a breeze to get through when they moved the vautours up a rank because I only had to grind 2 planes to get to rank 7 and I could skip through the super etendard to get the jaguar, but honestly, the some planes are genuinely not that bad. The Etandard IV m's guns are great, the III e is nice with the magic 1s and its speed, and the mirage f-1c(not premium), is actually super fun when you get the magic 2s. (I did get a talisman for it out of a battle trophy so it did make it less painful). Honestly, if this isn't your first time grinding an air tech tree, I would recommend the premium Mirage f-1C-200 to spare yourself rank I through V's painful aircraft.(would not have said this had the vautour's bomber variants not lost their air spawn cuz they made good rp).

[@sirius_solaris]

Alright, gonna ask real quick and real concise. J-7D or A-5C for full chinese tech-tree grind. I'm VERY confident in my missile gameplay and whatnot, just not sure if the J-7D is gonna suck ass in constant uptiers to top tier.

[@DEFYN]

It's both kinda shit J7D is essentially a 21mf with better misiles at 11.0 so youre in uptier hell A5C is better but youre stuck in F5C hell lol Its up to you

[@Not_Octopus]

[@TheCamoruneGaming]

I'm glad to have an affirmation that the A7M1 is good.

[@rainsilent]

It doesn't have a good climb rate. It does around 18-19m/s while the average for the BR range it sits at is 22ish. Below average but not F4U bad.

[@JamesVDBosch]

@@rainsilent F4U outclimbs the Fw190 considerably, 15 m/s for the fw190 and 17.3 m/s for the F4U-1a. In case you don't know: Don't look at stat cards for this data, its completely false. Use data from testing or datamining instead.

[@rainsilent]

@@JamesVDBosch I wasn't looking at stat cards and I more than know that they are false. I was going by test data from flying both using WTRTI. The 190As have the better climb rate over the -1 Corsairs. The -1 Corsairs have the worst climb rates of all fighters in their entire BR bracket and it is all because you have to save their very limited WEP. The F6F-5 has the same problem. Without WEP the -1s struggle to do 15m/s. With they barely do 17 as you said and even that is bottom of the barrel for the BR bracket. The 190As do better than 18 and the best of them, the A-5 with just 2 20s for guns, even flirts with 20m/s sustained. The only props with as bad climb rates as the -1s are early P-47s and the J21s.

[@JamesVDBosch]

@@rainsilent If you choose to not use WEP that's your own problem, but don't claim that the WEP cannot be used for climbing since I use WEP to climb every single match and have plenty left to carry extremely consistently with a 85% winrate. My test method is selecting Test Drive on Reference settings and 20min fuel and then screen record the climbing process, starting from the moment WEP is engaged until I've climbed 5000m of altitude. If you want to use that same method and show me a Fw190A-1 with 20min fuel climbing 5000m of altitude in less than 4:40:00, I'd be happy to admit I was wrong, but good luck doing showing me though.

[@rainsilent]

@@JamesVDBosch ""If you choose to not use WEP that's your own problem, but don't claim that the WEP cannot be used for climbing since I use WEP to climb every single match and have plenty left to carry extremely consistently with a 85% winrate." WEPing for the entire climb will use up more than 4 minutes of WEP. The aircraft has less than 9 minutes of WEP total. Half of your WEP gone from just the initial climb puts you on a seriously limited clock in which you are truly a dangerous fighter. If you would rather fly it that way that is entirely up to you but not flying the F4U that way isn't "wrong" like you imply it is. Defyn is on record in an earlier video saying that he doesn't think using WEP to climb is a wise use of WEP. A lot of the best players echoed that same view before the matches got shorter. Now it is basically a 50/50 split with the shorter matches. Also I didn't say that it couldn't be used for climbing. I simply said that if you don't, because it is limited. That isn't the same thing as "can't use it". My test method involves using WTRTI which takes data directly from the game files and displays it for you to see live. It tells you exactly what your aircraft is doing in a wide variety of metrics including climb rate, speed, turn rate, roll rate and more. With WTRTI you know your exact climb rate, speed, bank angle, prop efficiency and everything else you might want to know any given instant. Gaijin even has shown unofficial support for using this mod in the forums and it has been used by testers for years. Before that testers had to use localhost for data capture to create bug reports on aircraft. Using WTRTI is unanimously seen as the best way to test vehicle performance in the tester group in WT. I'll pass on your methodology in favor of WTRTI. If you want to play with WTRTI yourself just copy paste into your browser and remove the spaces. old- forum. warthunder. com /index .php? /topic/ 483838 -warthunder -real-time -information/

Anyone else confused as to why there's tech tree videos on these charts? I don't see what they have to do with a buyers guide for premiums and stuff. I get that their purchase costs are reduced but that's about it, the bonuses on them aren't comparable to the premiums. Everything else I understand.

[@kosmic__gaming1011]

Talismans are also 50% off so if people want to go that route instead of premium the info is there.

[@Scepterotor]

@@kosmic__gaming1011 Oh forgot about talismans, gotcha, thanks

[@B_Poort]

For grinding Britain i recommend the Sea Vixen for the absolutely insane amount of money you get per kill (~12k without premium) and the xp bonus is also pretty decent. That said it is a little boring but the missiles are pretty okay

[@darthbader6506]

Streamlined AND longer, perfect

[@Oliepolie]

I watched the whole thing, ill be prepared to meet you in my dreams

[@DasVryst]

It’s tough over here in Australia man

[@ItsDrMeme]

Low B tier for the Lazur M is a very generous rating 38:30 😂💀

[@TrumpeterOnFire]

No love for the P-38K? I like it for bomber hunting tasks since you've got the air-spawn, you've got the engine power, and you generally face 4 Ju-288s with little competition from your team.

[@BenjiiBee]

Should I get the French Top Tier Premium or the Swedish top tier premium?

[@16154123456]

There's one plane you've missed, it might not be interesting in case of performance, but it simply is cheaper to buy GE through buying this plane than buying them alone and on top of that you'll get 14 days of premium for 10 euro's besides 2000 GE. It's the USA A-26C-45DT, if you're thinking of buying GE, just buy this plane I think this one slipped through the cracks because it makes no sense.

[@TransportSupremo]

The ta154 is an amazing plane when you play it like an interceptor

[@DEFYN]

Shut

[@gsm2424]

I got the Skill Issue decal. I've purchased premium for 1 year and also the pyorraisd - the sweedish plane and the xp-50. Thank you for your insight DEFYN! I love your videos and the humor

[@Kost.wt0]

so the link isnt virus?

[@PFCKruger]

For SL I always use the British Avenger. Makes me 50k per match on average. For more relaxed gameplay I like the Catalina's. ( I have all of them :D )

[@thisisonlyadream]

very good video if you want quick glance u just skip to timestamps and if u care about detail u get a nice podcast to fall asleep to or whatever i dont need the guidance having 6000 hours as mostly a pilot but will share to friends who i cant be asked to lore dump with

[@thisisonlyadream]

also a talisman tier list INSIDE is very very good

[@Ky1vstar]

hahaha. Most honest warthunder youtuber fr. Love it

[@carlosruiz-herrera3836]

Thanks for your work

[@luna-zh1tz]

Sent this to a friend and he pointed out the length of the video to which i went woudnt you wanna listen to defyn rambling about planes for 1.5hrs?

[@iretrixi9252]

Excellent video. Dont mind the length. Now do tanks! ;D

[@ravandhika5472]

Man i'm not regretting keep my J6K1. It is an absolute monster, for rank 5 probably the S+ rank there for japan

[@cutenekonep906]

Oddly enough im not a bad player but i love the mig21 bis, all versions of it, i can out fight almost anything with it including f16s and and mig29s i don't understand why people dislike it so much, i do really really well with it

[@modica3466]

1:17:48 You forgot about the G55s. Is it an A, B or C?

[@jacobscott2473]

The Russian premium 21ML won't be going on sale this year as per Gaijin's post confirming planes released in the Sons of Attila or Kings of battle updates won't be included.

[@DEFYN]

23ML is from the apex predator update

[@SlyEphex]

Didnt meantion the sea vixen for silver lion grinding on britain for shame!

[@iedsurvivor4665]

wow another buyers guide by DEFYN

[@mich421]

Yak 38 It is a brick with small wings and is absolutely not recommended

[@joldberg7444]

would you be willing to do a CAS tierlist like this :]. Been thinking of working on Strike Aircraft but not really sure.

[@kamilksiezyk9813]

Great video!

[@WelsyCZ]

Hey guys, I wanted to ask - is the crew points video from DEFYN (3 years ago) still relevant? I just bought an XP-50 and would like to setup my crew but dont know if the video still says the right stuff.

[@DEFYN]

Yeah nothing changed

[@WelsyCZ]

Thanks, I got your decal too, so I can excuse my skill issue @@DEFYN

[@ayalaganping]

i was expecting this video for a long time. top quality content. it helps a lot to deciding wich aircraft to fly to grind new nations. i have a friend who just got the mig23mld but i fly USA. any nonpremium suggestions to fly with him?

[@darken0id306]

This is perfect to sum up all of the vehicles. Good job.
