[@johnathancooper3897]

Your rant at the end probably deserves a video of its own, you make some excellent compelling points.

[@pienter593]

Hi Defyn. There might be a little chance that I have a solution for the airfield AA problem. As someone who's played a lot of Germany 5.7 Air RB I know all too well that bombers contribute generally very little to winning the match. The reason for this is that they're basically playing their own game. Bomb bases, RTB and repeat. This is their way of trying to win the match (not that in practice a win is actually achieved that way, generally speaking). Fighters however, generally try to win the match by taking down all the enemy fighters and eventually all the attackers and bombers. The 2 are not intertwined at all and they do not complement each other, which is bad for gameplay. I would like to propose a solution to this as well as to the Airfield AA problem. It is as follows: Instead of making bombers bomb bases, let them bomb the airfield and make it that in doing so they disable AA for a limited amount of time. (And, if needed, make it so that the AA also has a short timeframe of invulnerability roughly halfway through the match.) This way the bombers actually support the fighter effort. This also means that fighters who play cowardly only have limited access to a safe airfield, and that players have to time their return to the base. Players could also anticipate on this, which will make gameplay probably more dynamic. Perhaps players even need to defend the airfield at times in order for their teammates to take off. This stimulates team effort and communication. This solution also means that fighters have a motive to escort bombers. It's just a quick draft, there probably are some flaws and it will need nuance for different tiers.

[@TeenWithACarrotIDK]

@@p_filippouz I think in reality, he isn’t really talking about that guy but about the AA and how they effect player mentality. The way I view it, airbase as unnaturally prolong matches that should have ended ages ago and makes the game boring as all hell and serves only to annoy, and the mid-map AA only serve to be random threats that have a random chance at randomly hitting you at the most inconvenient of times. It’s the reality of how AA affects the game sometimes and we have to just accept it. However, by itself, this rant is half completely understandable and yeah half malding. I think him and many other people are half way to the right solution but they aren’t quite there yet. The only way I see this problem being fixed is if the air modes get completely and utterly revamped and changed. The mode just isn’t designed well enough to adjust to how modern war thunder is and it’s also boring and lame as hell and overall is just badly designed.

Can't get away from it because you're in a prop. That is still somehow a thing to this day.

[@gtifighter]

THANK YOU! Thanks for bringing up the out of place AA in Air RB and the constant abuse of it by most players. It's really fucking annoying and probably one of the main reasons why I just quit playing RB and went back to Air Arcade because there, at least you get respawns and tiny maps with quick arcady action. In the last Air RB game I played, I was in the F-5C, I killed 2 enemy planes and was running low on ammo and fuel being the last player of my team left alive (one idiot teammate rammed my friend in the beginning of the game) with no enemies anywhere near me so I went to refuel my plane, take off and fly to the center of the map. None of the other 2 enemy players were in the center. Where were they you might ask? both camping at their airfield. flying low altitude circles around the airfield because they knew I would be suicidal to fly in that. So I turned around to get back to the center of the map, the second I turned around they spammed 6 missiles at me and I died. Top tier gameplay with no possibility of counterplay is what's killing the game and I'm sick and tired of it. I fucking hate these no-skill cheesy playstyles that are even rewarded by War Thunder... It's just like when 2 years ago I was flying the XP-50 in Air RB and the last remaining enemy plane was a bomber with 10 minutes of the game remaining and flying at like 10-11km altitude and I was unable to get even close to 2km below him within that time so he just won, doing nothing but flying away all game and pressing the spacebar a couple times. It just drives me fucking mad.

The mig 19S was my favourite plane in the game for the longest time. I kept playing it well into the missile meta and it was still fun for awhile but it’s slowly being beaten into an early grave. It’s a shame because it was so enjoyable to dogfight with. Many pilots don’t expect a fighter to be turnfighting at this tier and it catches a lot of people by surprise. I miss this thing being competitive.

[@TrixoPLAYS]

I was playing MiG-19S not long ago when grinding the German tree. I have managed to get 2.8k/d 86 kills with 31 deaths to be exact after 63 missions.

It seems like they generally buffed AA as well because a decent portion of the time when I'm above AA in the middle of the map even like 3km up I'll get tagged by it, it makes maps with loads of AA in the center extremely annoying.

It really feels like they got an accuracy buff for whatever reason.

I agree with the AF camping but not the landing comment. AF AA should be death sentence to an enemy player if someone is on the ground no if ands or buts. Landing isn’t always the guy who can’t manage his ammo or fuel it’s more often the guys carrying the game that HAVE to land because they have used their resources to kill 5 planes. It isn’t fair to these guys that carry their team that a random ass player that got lucky with the AA get an easy kill on the ace player. That isn’t about getting out played that is getting killed by the luck of a glue sniffer

[@DEFYN]

I mean't it more in the sense that you shouldn't be able to be going to go land with guys on your ass. Sure if you're on the ground the AA can be strong. The game ends in 90 seconds after you touch down anyways.

I requested this on the discussion post, but I’d really love a guide from you about how to dodge/notch missiles. I have nearly a 5.0 kd with the MiG-15bis, mostly because it rarely sees the caliber of missiles that the MiG-19PT does. When it comes to the 19, I have quite a bit more trouble dealing with missiles, and my kd is barely 1.5. I see the potential when I fly it due to the ridiculous flight performance, but I can’t seem to do as well with it when I need to avoid missiles. Love the vids, congrats on 40k!

[@easetheweeb]

notching is just flying perpendicular to the person painting you with the radar. to notch you need to be above MAR (minimum abort range: minimum range needed to defeat a missile). MAR at least in my experience is generally farther than 10km. If you are more than 10km out from the missile, simply fly perpendicular to the plane painting you. if you are below MAR it is mostly 50/50 since you cannot notch the missile before splash so you have to maneuver and chaff to attempt to defeat the missile. within 3km the missile will generally not lock in time to account for a defensive maneuver so you are good there. note: notching works best against planes that have pulse doppler radars since they rely on relative movement.

The thing about airfield campers? Look, right? If I know the team is going to die out in like a minute, I don't feel like paying that fucking repaircost if it takes me 20 seconds to go to the airfield, but at least I have the balls to J out and just go onto the next match People who stay are fucking annoying, people who do it "because AAA" are fucking sad. I just want to get out of the match too if I go to the airfield

[@imainhunter]

Yeah, sometimes people want to end the match quick and ask you to leave

[@pizza_parker9689]

i agree with this thought process

[@miguel_fidalgo1099]

This plane is in a limbo, it has amazing performance and you can outperform everything at the br, but you are seeing planes with r60s, magics, and aim9gs though you can deal with those pretty easily, making it so that if you dont get missile spiked from 6 km from a plane that wasnt spotted, you will probably win the match

[@HighRiskV]

The other option is to sealclub everything else

[@stash_of_g]

14:50 Preach it bro, im so sick people running away, also mid mad AAA one shotting my engine .

[@bbburst3585]

Just from hearing that engine noise I can hear coughing.

[@sujeto16a]

This plane is beautiful, i love the aesthetic

[@VenomVsTRex]

I might be wrong, but I honestly think airfield camping would be significantly lessened if repair costs would be either removed or just reduced to a point where players are not punished by the game for a bad match or a streak of bad matches. People's play style is greatly impacted by the fear of repair costs following poor performance. If the only cost of playing poorly, trying to learn was the time invested in a match there would be much more incentive to keep trying, to put up an actual fight instead running away to the airfield with your tail between your legs. Players kissing the ground to deny a kill is pure scrub bullshit though.

[@_ZenX_]

You will see people camp their base in planes that cost next to nothing to repair, you will see it at lower tiers and you will see it at top tier. It’s not the repair cost, it’s the instinctive “I am in trouble so I have to run” mechanism kicking in because these players did not start playing the game without camping their airfields, so now, this is all they know how to do.

[@CRL_One]

If its about SL, you can land, repair, refuel and J out.

[@LankeethePine]

my favorite fight in the game is Mig-19 vs Etendard, they are .7 difference but from the Etendard side i love the fight

[@lukesturch5076]

gosh dam love this guy

[@TomPrickVixen]

I still say that these last pure dogfighters are over BR-ed! And when it comes the MiG-19S; I'd trade that 3rd gun for more ammo anytime, or even for a radar!

[@johnjames8961]

Love his rants

[@TheGreedyKing]

So as a question could u explain in more detail soon about this? I’m kinda bad with this plane but really love the play style. I die to aim 9L or delta wings usually on the third “loop”.

[@iedsurvivor4665]

The AA camping situation from my experience has been a mix of frustration and as you said DEFYN predictable, I mostly play US top-tier air ( Kris_pe_bacon* if you feel the need for a stat check). While there aren't many occasions where the last enemy player runs to the airfield, the times it happens procced with a low alt chase through AA fire and eventually resulting in the enemy player crashing into the ground. You've hit the nail on the head when it comes to the point that AA should not dictate the game, thankfully Gaijin's added feature of ticket deduction makes the AF camping a bit more bearable. Geat Video.

[@Jan191]

A small tip: Because of how good the flight performance is, you can afford to take out a small amount of the rockets and use them as flares. It works for me.

[@tesseractcubed]

For reference, the best speed for maximum turn rate is between 750 and 800kph

[@FishFlys]

I watch this all the time because it carries brutal aaa honesty

[@o3941]

I slept on this plane for so long and I feel bad about it. I recently started flying this thing and I fucking love it. It turns, it retains energy, it accelerates like a bat out of hell. I dont really fear anything when I'm flying this plane except for packetloss. The blacking out isn't a huge bother for me as even when blacked out the plane retains so much maneuverability that it's quickly become one of my loves. Even a full uptier doesnt bother me too badly. My only complaint its it seems really inconsistent with regard to snapping a wing off. And as for the people running toward their airfield, youre not wrong about it. The closest I come to "abusing" it is if I'm the last plane up and the enemy has more than 3, I'll just RTB and J out. If I have no reasonable hope of winning, why should I let myself be shot down and pay the asinine repaircosts some of these planes have? Like, why the fuck does my 1952 MiG-15bis cost almost twice as a fucking 1974 F-14?

[@TURQOlSE]

When the Mig-21 was being tested it had 2 different wing designs one being basically that of the Mig-19 I’m wondering now if that would’ve been a better choice sacrificing high aoa for critical dogfighting capabilities

[@orewakaminoikari]

ADA in ARB at SAM BR ranges don't engage you or engage you with any accuracy at 15k ft, and if you dive from directly above, don't shoot at you at all until you're under 10k. Allows you to get 1 airfield pass or take-off strafe on anyone that used it to camp because the SAMS take too long to fire at you once you zoom away unless you're braindead. Yeah, it's not that fun, but it's still an easy workaround for AF campers, and shows they're still not safe. MY issue is the fuckers that still J out constantly on the strip when they have another friendly in the air

[@YoRHaUnit2Babe]

I can learn so much from your gameplay

[@madmat1652]

Hi defyn any idea how can I keep track of aiming reticle? I know it sounds stupid but im losing it from sight when diving, it blends with the ground even though it is red. I imagine turning colour to cyan would suck near sea

[@unitariansavage8513]

Change color or shape. I find the 'counter strike' crosshairs in neon green work fine for me. The color's bright enough to not blend in too much.

[@CecilioSprayetti]

I remember this was my first "top tier" jet I ever got and man I absolutely despised it. It just felt like a bus that doesn't respond to your inputs but now a few years later its one of my favorites. Feels great to just win every single 1v1 you get into and when its fully down tiered you can just turn your brain off and win. Reminds me of the Yak-30 which is kinda the same

[@bigface1352]

I like the Yak-30 mainly because the missiles. But the mig-19 has such an awkward rudder and roll, it just makes it extremely difficult to control in a 1v1.

[@insertcringe2220]

Regarding that airfield camping, I commonly have to run, because even if I get three kills, I still loose money if I die. Money, that I can't afford to loose

[@spasti7026]

As long as you j out once you are at the airfield everything is fine

[@spasti7026]

But this guy took off from the airfield just to run back to the airfield 5 minutes later and wasting everyone’s time

[@AJ-happydad]

I gave up this game after the f14 came out. As a USA main I couldn't deal with the mixed battles anymore. Coming from beta to this has been a journey. Your channel still makes me want to come back. I just can't tho

[@Mai-ek8rf]

Everyones just excited to jet their first 4th gen fighter once the other nations gets theirs it'll all go back to normal

[@thebones6144]

you are submitting sooo many videos these days respect+ my guy

[@timothybackhus824]

Same thing happening to me when I fly it, every game there's multiple harriers that launch missiles as soon as possible then rtb, do that the whole game. Then the number of aim 9 L and G that make it impossible to actually have a decent dogfight with someone

[@creesed9041]

im so happy defyn has the same mentality on the players returning to base issue.

[@derkaiser9881]

Running back to the AF sucks so much in Ground RB, too. Sometimes they'll have friendly SPAA up and turn back for the AF regardless. It's cancer.

[@AlexVanChezlaw]

I didn't bother using it as a figther and just used it as a ground attack plane. I love the Mig 19s but i didn't feel ''it'' with this one as much as i use it and adore it.

[@0GTXR]

Usually what I do against af runners is put myself in a vulnerable state, such as going lower than them, and most of the time they turn right back at you thinking they got this now.
