you bringing up the cl13 reminded me that 9.0-9.3 has so many cool and interesting planes that are basically unplayable because of the matchmaker. it really makes me wish i used to play this game before this happened, Id love to play those planes 4 years ago. it’s so sad i wish gaijin would fix this.

Missile thunder (and the F-104) has been a disaster for the human race

[@shingrandfather]

@@cheekibreeki4638 the 104 is annoying as all hell for sure and drags out games forever. that alone isn’t enough to stop it from being fun to play those planes. it’s definitely the all aspect missiles/18g and above missiles. Also for the case of 9.3’s you are basically 100% guaranteed to get uptiered into 10.3 every game because of the f5c. a lot of the planes around are going to have missiles that are at least aim 9j or better and you of course don’t have flares. and because of the compression you’re gonna be fighting aircraft that are way more capable and that includes the f5c’s, they are too good and you’ll be facing them every game. it really is so sad because it would be my favorite bracket to play if it wasn’t getting railed by compression and a 100% up tier chance because of premium spam. those planes were never meant to go up against missiles that good otherwise they would’ve had flares. they gotta either decompress the brs or give them flares that they didn’t have irl.

I wish you a happy b-day my main man Defyn, i can't thank you enough for your service to this community, your videos have teached me and continue to teach me so much about what i wanna learn in this game, and that combined with your goofy dry humor that i can only imagine you pull straight outta your ass sometimes, makes you probably my favorite WT CC

[@EncrypticMethods]

6:13 I really didn't like the A28B at first but it quickly became one of my favorite jets (and higher k/d ratio as I learned the game) but if you're ever getting "Vultured" like this from a f86 or a Mig15 just ignore them and extend or call for help. you can just pitch roll or dodge there guns because they will usually try and zoom you try to reverse the faster jet :) Don't try and follow the energy trap because it's a trap.

[@rancorusia]

years of playing both with and against goes a long way

[@HalIOfFamer]

He probably has like 10k hours in this game.

[@khalilveronessi4819]

Experience, the best way to counter a plane is knowing how it flyes, what can do and what can't do. Warthunder learning curve is horrible! an absolute horror, that's why flying with experienced pilots will get you good in a short time (compared to fliying solo). EDIT: And some planes are just busted and broken, and there are BR branches that are horrible to play like, 5.0 to 6.3, or 9.0 to 10.0, and 11.0 to 12.0, in the first one is now plagued with JU 288 and the fights are super boring, the other ones there are aircrafts that are powercreeped to death because of BR compression. Warthunder is a game that is very unfair most of the time.

[@DEFYN]

Its just experience and I am rather lucky that I just remember it all very easily. I can gauge a plane by playing a handful of games mostly. Most important thing is to fly a variaty of vehicles and so you know what ur up against. And yes I have 3000 hours in planes or something

[@normallymute0131]

It comes with playing the vehicle extensively and finding the style that fits it. What I do with a new vehicle is: -On take off see what speed and how long it takes to lift off. -Lift the nose slightly til I start slowing my acceleration. -Once at about 2000-3000m alt, I level out and let it get to cruising speed. -While at/approaching cruise speed, I test control surfaces (roll, pitch, yaw) -I test a dive to see how bad it locks up and how safe it is to push it past it’s speed rating. This is how I get a basic feel for the aircraft. Once I have that, then I begin stress testing it by flying it in a way it hates to find the way it prefers to fly

[@TheUnseenWaffle]

Word up birthday you got the same birthday as me. Ha. Hope its a great one for ya 🎉!

[@akomara1]

Longer wingspan = more lift and thus more adverse yaw when deflecting aileron decreasing roll rate

[@SaintedPIacebo]

An idea for something when you either dont have the footage you want or something is a series where you go over the differences in model in detail and how they impact and change performance from one another. There are so many different models of almost the same plane that it can be hard to know the intricacies and the wiki is either general or just kind of ass.

[@Nitpick-zh8ky]

Thanks i just got my first sabre and this helped

[@MrChipcho]

Marvellous plane, love the 50 cal. These non missile matches are so nice, aren't they?

[@storagedisk]

I've had many similar experiences with .50 cals just giving me nothing against most jets. I don't know what it is but their damage feels a lot higher against props. Could just be that props being slower means you always get way more rounds on target but it feels like there's something else there too. Also highly based Alaskan skin

[@bezimienny_andzej6425]

Well, MG151/20 M-geschoss vs F89B - nothing to the part hit, the part of the wing a bit further got super-lightly yellow. Jets have insanely tough damage models.

[@storagedisk]

MG151s are kind of broken right now though. They're way weaker than they should be, and are probably the weakest 20mm in the game right now, even with mine rounds. I would believe that Jets have tough damage models, however
