The Energy God - MiG-19S

Forgot to mention: https://youtu.be/QU-EVW1K7-E That's more of a carry example in the MiG-19 so check that out if you're interested. Everything said there still applies

"its as shrimple as that"

the best week of this year has been the one where defyn decided to go hard into youtube. i have been playing everyday that i see one of his vids. at this point, they should just let defyn redesign all the tutorials in game, or link to his videos. no other youtuber breaks it down like he does. also, as an english teacher in brazil, his english is top grade, its not easy to get that good at a second language. keep flying high bud

If it’s any consolation you’ve taught me so much from watching your videos that I’ve never once thought that I should use the airfields as a weapon, your channel taught me how to play air rb, but most of all I love your videos for you and the great content you provide, I learn something new almost every video, thank you Defyn

18:27 Most mentally stable WT player

Judging by the comments, this thing should be facing props lol

13:00 I love how you transfer from commentary, to pissed to malding XDDDD

defyn going from an average commentary to a mental breakdown in a single video. brother I hope the AAA bullshit doesn't take a toll on you too hard :) (still thanks for the daily upload, they're all fun to watch & it teaches you a thing or 2 at the very least)

the ending XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD this has to be one of your most meaningfull videos defy

forward base aaa needs to be maybe a couple flak guns and that's it...instead, you get hitscan'd immediately the second you stray within 6km ... and dont even start with the midfield aaa in mozdok, or that small winter map - the one with two opposing trenches of machineguns in the middle. hitscan all fluids empty with red wings and pilot within 5 seconds of hearing those first shells blasting by. Can't get away from it because you're in a prop. That is still somehow a thing to this day.

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.

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 used to be unless you were outside of airfield you could generally ignore AA, but I've died to the ground AA trucks a couple times recently. It really feels like they got an accuracy buff for whatever reason.

Mig19’s are probably the most fun you can have in that hell of a BR range (9.3-10.3) except maybe short of the Ariete IMO. One of the best aircraft for clutch situations as well. I find myself playing the mig19s quite a bit.

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.

Such a fun plane. Shame it has to deal with such a missile heavy br with no counter measures

This video is incredibly useful, was having trouble grinding the russian tree because of the A10 spam. Much appreciated DEFYN!

Was 1v1 a guy, we were the last people in the game, I was in a Ki-84 ko and he was in an F2G. We had similar energy, he head-on me and then went back to his airfield even though we were in the middle of the map. As I slowly chased him, an AA in the middle of the map set me on fire in 1 hit and I lost the game. Great stuff

17:51 "landing is a privilege not a right" is my fav sentence from the vid, got me thinking about the hole thing, great video as always mr defyn#

I feel like the "bad player doesn't know how to defend himself except with base aa" argument is a good segue into the defensive flying guide

recently found your channel and really glad I did; your play by play explanation is refreshing compared to every other wt creator and your English is impeccable. thanks for all the effort you put into these and your future videos, i appreciate you.
