I am not going to watch this video so that I can continue to complain about how I don't understand how it works on your other videos. I hope you understand.

[GeneralLee]

The collaboration we needed, absolute massive Ws all around

[bosmith]

Your channel has taken me from scared to play anything but arcade to refusing to play it. Thanks for the great content.

[unoriginalplays]

Great guide, now its easier for me to continue to mess up radar modes and kill teammates

[perennialE]

An absolute S tier cook. Thank you Jaek and Defyn

[SomeOrdinaryJanitor]

as a 10, 500+ hour veteran, i am still learning a lot about this game. and i have played well over 5 years.

[skilzkil]

I've seen a tone of WT radar guides from CC's this is definitely among the best for a thorough breakdown when new to radar sets - great visual aids, straight to the point and easy to understand. Great job Defyn, and big thanks to Jaek too 👍

[milkelangelo]

One thing about MTI: usually the range in which the MTI can see is a bit over half of the range in which the normal search mode can see, and this applies both for searching and tracking

[mrnohh]

Much needed video, just hit higher tier and had not idea how to efficiently use radar. You’re the man Defyn!

[cookiecraze]

Having had to just fight with a Lvl 15 F4S player who didn't know what countermeasures are or how to use radar, I am very glad you and Jaek have made this. At this point Gaijin should just link to these videos and Jaek's video on missiles for the top tier guide.

[zuzzolo]

Yes! I was waiting for this guide, thanks DEFYN!

[APerson.]

I think this is literally the best video on the internet for war thunder radar and I haven’t even started talking about your other videos how do you only have 130k subs you deserve so much more with the quality and efficiency of your videos

[damocles]

Although I only fly stuff that has a proper engine (meaning propeller) and thus am not bothered with radar, I very much appreciate your continuous effort to provide helpful guidance to the WT player-base.

[Grimmy_Grimes]

The single best piece of media War Thunder has ever seen. Thank you.

[dedneyder]

Italian Accent: someone has to do it.

Monatone: THE MISSILE KNOWS WHERE IT IS, IT KNOWS THIS BECAUSE IT KNOWS WHERE IT ISN'T.

[jakobc.]

I also highly recommend setting up controlls for moving around the dish manualy.

I use controll as a combo key. So while I use WASD normaly for flying, when I hold Controll I controll the radar with WASD instead. It's especialy handy at top tier since you can stay at tree top level safe from radar missiles and aim the radar with Controll+WASD at enemys instead of having to point my nose up.

[BazzRahulGaming]

Just one word for the Radar Guide : - PERFECT

[commoncents]

Thre absolute BEST how to use radar guide out there period....bravo and thank you

[eefnvtb]

Defyn x Shrek, the collab we never knew we needed.

[discochicken]
