130 bucks well spent! #worthit

2:46 ayo new orbital strike feature nice

If you pause the video precisely at 2:47 you can see Su-25 shooting lasers out if its ass. New Sekrit weapon perhaps?

Yep, at least 11.7 is now playable

The BR brackets are now just… really really weird.

The fact that a FLARELESS plane can now see IRCCM missiles is fucking ridiculous (SU25 with r73 and jaguar with magic 2)

Some how…compression returned

Fattom

Honestly the F8U-2 is really fun to fly right now, mostly thanks to the wing rip changes. You can actually put all the performance mods on it and just fly, really only needing to tap down when you get close to blacking out, no real risk of instantly snapping your wings anymore. New favorite plane of the patch, easy.

fun fact: the Belgian F-16A is 13.3 just because it has AIM-9Ms. This makes it sit 0.3 higher than the JAS-39A, who has the same amount of 9Ms, but also 12x more countermeasures and an HMD. Oops.

04:55 I was slightly distracted and I basically shat myself, thanks

With the aim9e's you can pull a hard turn and temporarily move outside its gimble limit to get more shots pointed towards a target, just a small fun fact for players that might end up needing to use them, its super helpful since the missile only gets like a 15g turn max and its way more reliable to just use your own momentum to aim the missile and let it do the small adjustments.

Time to go back to biplanes

With these early missiles especially, you have to make sure you aren't pulling any AoA. It doesn't matter if your nose is pointed at the bandit, if you're pulling 20 degrees of AoA to get your nose on, you're drifting off to the side by 20 degrees. That's why the missiles are flying off to the side because they still have that inertia flinging them off the rail.

F4C is best Phantom, I think it’s a skill issue on Defyns part (I don’t have jets)

2:45 did that su-25 just orbital laser someone

The J35D being a lower br than the f4C is absolute comedy gold.

What do you think of the f5c being the same br as the f5e? Gaijins been bugging 😂😂

@2:48 lasers

The f8u2 is so good atm its comedicly broken

I’m ending it all after these br changes

The SABB j35Xs is almost unplayable with the constant uptiers it gets into premium PD radar missle slingers

I saw the Zuni pods and got a little excited, thought you were going to use them with the distance fuzes to get headon kills 😢

Grippen A at 13.0, same exact BR as all the F16ADF, and same BR as the grench F16 with 9M. Meow meor mrw~

How is no flares above 9.3?

4:54 transition was hysterical. Good flying! o7

So were just forgetting about the ADTW getting moved from 10.7 to fucking 11.3 with no buffs what so ever

any 12.0 now facing the mig29g/mirage 4000/gripen A at 13.0 is WILD idk what gaijin was thinkin with some of these brs

19:50 they cucked it counter missions also and changed them to small despite them being 2 inches wide by 3” x 5” long and apparently Geisen cut off for making something. A large counter measure is 55 mm. Which is mind-boggling because the countermeasure flare the aardvark uses is a RR 119 the literal best countermeasure that America had for its time. And a flare weighs 2 pounds.

ah yeah, the J35XS at 11.3...it is like J35D(10.3) with extra 12FLRs and 2 extra AIM9Js....it does not even have RWR...and it gets uptiered like 9/10 times :(

I cannot fathom why they put the F4C of all things up to 10.7 How in the shit does statistical balancing even make sense even more?

2:47 did they introduce some FreeSpace 2 beam weapons to the game ? XD

Since there are so many weapon groups on a lot of planes nowadays at least for ground attack weapons i have switched to using seperate binds for them all, CTRL for rockets ALT+CTRL for Rocket Salvo, Space for bombs, Alt+Space for air to ground missiles, Right Alt+Space for Guided Bombs. I use X to spool and fire air to airs but I wish we had separate bindings for fox123

Just glad i spaded it right before the change

The reason why your missiles arent "going where its pointed" like at 4:12 or 7:40 is because of plain physics. The missile is going to keep its momentum because it has nothing to rotate it anymore except for its rocket motor, which doesnt work that well cause it's a 10g pulling missile. I kinda assumed you knew that already cause you understood that missiles needed to be lead For better launches, you should both lead your missile and wait till your plane stops pulling aoa

maybe adding the f4d phantom with flares at 10.7 and moving the f4c down could fix things maybe?

Reminder f4c could carry 4xaim7E-2. My source? The manual that has external storages

Remember this thing can now see r73 quite frequently. Lamooooooo

Oh man that jump cut at like 4:50 got me 😂

The br spread didn’t do anything besides just move brs up. Everything will continue to face things it faced before

So Gaijin have modelled the nose-mounted internal gun, but it doesn't work? REAALLLLLYYYY??

This thing used to be the same BR as the F-104A

i feel like gaijin has played with the missiles again

I was already researching this boat and now I'm gonna have to play it like this. Cant wait for gaijin to take its br down the second after I spade it and I have gone insane.

1:58 alright Mr. Edge you've got some explaining to do

11:44 *That made me look really poor... throwing them away like that. :(*

12:01 jesus christ a month later and ive just realised i am that F5C, well played.

Will you do a video on the Gripens after the Aim-120 got added?

4:54 That's actually scared me a little bit.

you can see an mld in a full uptier, also the f4j and s are higher br now than the mld

Ah yes thank you gaijin for fucking up my favourite br 😘

puts the F-5C at the same BR as the F-5E, refuses to elaborate

Defyn, how much do I have to pay you to revisit the Milan, now that it is kinda getting breathing room at 9.7?

Your missile at 7:40 went off course not "randomly" but because you fired it while pitching the aircraft hard. Your plane has momentum, and the missiles inherit that momentum when they detach, and if you've ever seen the classic demonstration of swinging a weight and then letting go you can see that the weight does not continue in the path of the circle (your direction of travel) but in the direction it was going when you detached with that momentum (remember, your plane is pitching up above the actual direction you are moving!)

Okay that maneuver kill was epic!

We gooning with this one

i am currently playing the JA37D was BR 11.3 and before the update it was tottaly fine now its BR 12 since there are only a frew BR 12 jets like the F-4J us and UK version, tornado F.3 and mirage F1C-200 i get constanly up tier to BR 13 i have only had 1 down tier out of 40 games alot of the other BR 11.3 jets before the changes have stayed at that same br untouched most of them are premium i think if the currently BR 12 jets where BR 11.7 just like the MIG-23ML that was br 11.3 before it would be totally fine. But now its just a pain to play the new BR 12.0 and for some reson i had a frew games playing agenst F-16C's for some reson. This update i crazily broken.

Damn Gaijin is braindead. They had 1 job. I think they’re doing this sh** on purpose…

Couldn't be a better plane to watch while taking a shit

Agreed, absolutely worse. Now there's way too many planes facing Fox 3's that have absolutely no business facing Fox 3's... like the Mirage F1, for example

At least the new sim brackets look fun. Can’t wait for them to actually release

Aim-7D's were actually really good in early match high altitude BVR at 10.0. Probably not so much now, with it facing R-24R's.

Idc what people say, air br should be tied to production date, that way each plane only faces planes it would actually see and not something built 20 years later. Alternatively decompress the all brs of air not just top tier.

The F5-C Is so tuff for me at 11.0 now, way to many missils

At least some things are playable

Failed my edging session because of this video

the balancing of phantoms is so weird. This thing the same br as the f4f early, f4e and ej at the same br as ej adtw, british J at the same br as the american S and J

7:42 Missiles in WT don't come off initially in the direction of your nose. They come off in the same direction of travel of the aircraft itself. So, if you're in a 2-circle with someone pulling 20 degrees of AOA in the process, and shoot when he's in your crosshair, the missile doesn't come off pointing at the target. It comes off pointing 20 degrees behind the target, and then has to make up the angular difference before pulling lead. This has been a mechanic for as many years as I can remember FR though. This plane was aight before at 10.0, but now it's the very definition of mid in every aspect. One may now even say outright bad...

2:47 Was that a laser beam?

BR changes made the F-4S worse too, got sent to 12.0, and always faces 12.7 or 13.0, never down tiers. Always fighting MiG-23 and F-14, or AV-8 w/ AMRAAM

I can't find an up to date spreadsheet of the br changes anywhere

I feel like the J35XS is also in a relly fu*ked place. 10.7 so its always uptiered into the SARH and Planes carrying 30+ Flares. Sure the XS can carry 9Ps (6 of them) and has a 30mm Cannon but it carries 12 counter measures with no RWR. The 9Ps are entirely Mid by that point if not lower and 120 Rounds in a weird placed cannon make the thing literally pay to lose. You are entirely closed off to playing like a Ninja to get any assortment of kills.

one of the dutch people of all time

I've had early sidewinders turn right and vanish even though the locked target is in front of the aircraft and it happens quite frequently and the sparrows are just as bad

Honestly Idk why but the Vark gets completely destroyed now honestly if they want to mess with its BR at least bring back its acceleration close to what it was when it was released

Rasor casually flying out in ME 262 in a +-BR10 game

jump-cut jump-scare

Things that benefitted was the unaffected 9.7s like t2 in theory facing less aim9l and r60mk but in most of the games I played I'm still fighting a10a and su25k

the 262 c2b is a chad plane

I played the f4c a lot about a year ago and like you say, the missiles mainly work on braindead people who aren't playing attention or just play it completely wrong. With regards to the aim 7d's, I have gotten 4/4 kills with these before. Sometimes everybody is just not paying attention. I usually sling them all off at the start of a match to get rid of the weight, and usually if i'm lucky I'll get a kill. They're rubbish, but it is possible to get kills.

fun fact: the j-7e is 0.3br above this, so you'll see it pretty much every game! have fun fighting that

9.3 feels like a fever dream. My Ariete feels phenomenal.

Why is the F16AJ at 13.0 with no AAMs meanwhile the F15 is the same BR but gets AAMs stock. Incredible gaijin

Missile rails are pointed downwards

Crazy that f4c is a higher br thank the a10a late which has 4 9l and a ton of flares

F8U and Mirage 3C eating good right now

Lol this bus is now 10.7 and a5c is still 10.0 with op missiles and flares

Rockets for countermeasures is clever. Never thought of that.

play the F4C next video just to see what it is like with the new BR changes.

w8 the changes are already in game? thats why in my j35xs i got clapped by f-4s a lot

@2:50 what the heck is happening in the background? Start at 2:44 to see it.

Tbh, im not surprised that gaijin broke something again. Maybe its good that the grind is going at a glacial pace for me.

j7e stayed at 11.0 which is just hilarious. Played a few matches and seems like a lot of people r trying it out, theres 3-5 j7es every chinese team and its just dominating

I like the changes, MiG-21bis got a very nice buff

i feel like the f5c might be overtiered now it's kinda tough cause it fights the french f5

every single teammate on your team seems to also be the j35xs, maybe its a big hivemind

Yea the change... i think its ruined more jets that it saved! But i quit anyway when i end up in a full uptiers most of the time, so can't say for sure.

The best video idea. The best video. Absolutely loved every second of it! Great job um... Edge!

You should try out the F-4E, it's in a really good spot now with the br changes since you can't go up against 4th gen fighters anymore

Rasor is just built different fr
