@@bpop2148 i think the one with sraams was more doable against since you could use your rockets as flares and missile it if you had aim9b's since it had no flares. But the AV8A could definitely score kills from way further away while being inmune to missiles. I think it's more carcinogenic.

I gotta say, playing any 11.3 vehicle at the moment, you are CONSTANTLY uptiered into 12.0 and 12.3 and I face these all the time together with F-14s and its becoming really rough. You dont have the countermeasures to carry mixed, so many games I die to simply running out of chaff/flares. The warthunder matchmaker really needs to change. Yeah, the battles getting smaller would solve many of these issues, but I still think some things need to be enforced, like the ratio of uptiers/downtiers being more consistent across the board or that it still can happen that enemy can have 4 top tiers and you only have 1 from that specific battle.

Appalling stock grind that the average user of it probably doesn't have spare GE just to throw at the problem Plus you are gonna get smacked by everything else in the merge Not to mention no HMD.

Defyn. I have been watching you and playing war thunder for a while now. Your videos are the reason why I keep playing even though it is on ps5. Plus it is fun when I get the "uncled" lobbies.

The stock grind on this thing is horrendous

Modern planes in WT were a joke before, but what the f**k ... welcome to Ace Combat Online!

The viffing actually helps especially with turning inside of someone whos choosing to fight you in a close knife fight, you can turn inside everyones circle and have the acceleration to keep up with them. In regards to the gun its the same gun the LM used later for the 35 so ofc its good

so its the good old SRAAM days

This plane looks beautiful

only having 11 min of that very entertaining content should be illegal

I wonder if Defyn will make a video on the F-15J MSIP II. I agree its technically the same plane but I want his opinion on the AAM-4s

You can dodge any kind of radar missile in the harrier by going vtol

I've only been riding the BR12.0 for the past week, but I haven't had a single 13.0 top match. 12.3 was 70% and 12.0 was 30%. Among them, I was shot down from 12.3 HARRIER..

This plane has the worst stock grind in game. Its literally impossible. Not only is it a dogshit airframe but you also have to unlock an absurd amount of research mods before u can even get good missiles. You basically have to spade the whole plane before u can get aim9m and aim120. This means for the majority of the stock grind u will have 2 aim9l and bombs and get absolutely shat on every game before u can get any points. I gave up on it. The pain isnt worth it.

It is illegal. But that's never stopped Gaijin.

You should test out the silly strat of hover notching, the radar loses lock and the amraams miss if you just stay still with VTOL

I love this jet. Even at 13.0 it's good. You just need to be methodical and choose your battles.

4th time asking a question from a returning player : Defyn, in your opinion, what is the bvest metric to see if you are doign well in a plane : win ratio, k/d ratio; kills per game ??? In the old days, with nation-locked maps and Flavor of the Month, we tended to dismiss win ratio, but now is it a better indicator of skill or not ?

I've always gone off k\d because you can't really solo a win and sometimes a match just plays out in such a way that you live but get 0 kills

@DEFYN

7 күн бұрын

Its a combination of everything: More kills doesnt mean you play better it can mean you play too agressive for kills and die/lose games Kd can mean you pick off easy targets and take 0 risk making you lose games Or that you just take 0 risk and get 1 kill every other game just to make sure you dont die Winrate can say a lot but with the 16v16 meta a big part of this is down to your team. All of these factors also dont count during what meta you played them. 1 stat being high and the other 2 being bad mostly means you are trying to inflate it. Theres plenty people with 10+KDs that arent good at the game The easiest way i guess is kills per battle + how many deaths you have in relation to losses If you have 50 losses but 200 deaths you die too much If you have 50 losses and 25 deaths you dont take enough risk At the end of the day dont look at the stats in itself. The number doesnt matter just try to make it go up without playing like a rat.

I am glad you decided to address this. I noticed it’s horrible here at 11.3

The Harrier with the AIM-120s is... pretty much a flying, long range SAM site if you think about it.

With the summer sales now here, there should be even more 11.3 downtiers from the premium players flooding in

every plane, is a good plane if its played by Defyn. (Except for the AV 8c)

Worse is that USA got the av8bplus(which is a good thing) which means there will be a lot more amraam slinging harriers in battles

You have talked about multipathing quite few times but I have no idea what is it ? Can you explain it simply?

@skye1840

Flying low to the ground (In WT this is 60m) causes a radar shadow of your aircraft to appear underneath your actual altitude. This can cause radars to lead their missiles into the ground. It's reliable a if somewhat dangerous way to defeat radar missiles
