  • Heyo! I recorded this because I was sick of seeing 45 minute tutorials on content that could be covered in a third of the time. Nobody wants to spend that long watching a tutorial
    I did not include landing because honestly who needs to land. Fight to the death!
    I left out a few more specific weapon types but they generally fall under the categories I've defined
    Apologies for my voice, especially in the second half which was recorded at a different time, I definitely have a cold coming on
    Chapters:

    8:45 Antiradar Missiles
    10:59 Unguided Rockets
    12:06 Unguided Bombs

    You don't need Auxiliary power on once your main engines are spun up. Think of it like an alternator in a car but a little different. Once your engines are spun up, they will charge the main battery. The APU will just use fuel. Turn it off and you'll notice a difference in your range.

    Typically, the aircraft radar isn't activated whilst on ground, for fear of microwaving various ground crew members.
    Since this isn't a simulation that is completely based on realism, I only mention it for the benefit of those who like to immerse themselves in the military aviator's world.

      i am a try hard in this game that is disgusted by the level of professionalism in this video. who the fuck needs flaps anyways? why pull up gently if the max amount also works and gets you in the air faster? stall? overtress of the airframe? i can balance the plane vertically on the afterburner and its impossible to break the aircraft through manouvers, so i dont care about either of those things. A real pilot and simulation enthusiast would die watching me play this game as efficiently as possible, but for some reason, i dont turn on the radar while on the ground for the reason you gave. Dont fry the ground crew.
