Update: Almost all air-to-air missiles in the game now have an updated warm-up time of just under a second. some have either kept the same active tracking time and some have been slightly shortened.
Yea warmup time for most IR missiles is now 1 second, they will stay active for 20 seconds, and the Launch Overload G for most IR missiles was removed. There where also changes to tracking of missiles like the R530F and and AIM 9L.
@@rampageTG where's your Radar video? i don't understand a damn of radar, HELP
@@ZioBorisitalia can’t remember what IOG stands for again. I know I answered it a long time ago in the comments of this video.
Basically it’s an addition to the missiles guidance loop that will let it remember the last known trajectory it was on and will keep on that even if a lock is lost. This can sometimes allow you to reacquire a lock after it is lost.
@@ZioBorisitalia on the back burner of things to do. Was having some difficulty with how to structure it and then had some real life stuff come up and haven’t gotten back around to working on it. In the meantime I would suggest checking out Times Variety’s tutorial. It’s a good one.
@@rampageTG Really? Great then, thanks a lot!
I'm sorry you haven't find time for... your passion? Btw i'll wait for other contenets
👍👍
the real question is: does the missile know where it is?
In the case of the AIM 54, yes it does. Well near enough. It’s got an onboard INS so it does know it’s rough position. Though it will drift out of alignment with time.
It does actually. It knows this because it knows where it isn’t
@@agentwashington317 nah it nows it because it has calculated it position based on maneuvers the launching aircraft and the missiles itself have made.
@@rampageTG yea that really flew over your head. Pun intended.
@@timbo853 I know its a meme, I'm just throwing a fact at it.
Sending this to a friend who’s learning how to missile. Will be sending him the radar one whenever that drops too. Good guide
Thanks. Gonna be another 2-3 weeks on that radar video. This week I’m working on an F14 review. Hard at work spading and gathering footage for that. Not sure if I’ll be able to finish the radar tutorial in a week so might end up needing 2 to punch that one out.
tims variety has just dropped an updated radar guide, should have the same info as the one hes coming out with soon
Top notch video, Rampage!!! This is an awesome explanation of all things air-to-air missiles!
Thanks a lot. Plan on doing something similar with radars once I finish up with summer class finals.
Top "notch" indeed
Yoooo that third circle is the strength of the radar missile lock? I never knew that; I always thought the game was being glitchy and not showing a full circle. Is this described anywhere at all or did you find this out through testing? That's going to help me out a lot since I just thought "red good, white bad." I can remember a lot of those launches were when the circle was like 55% filled, so they would go dumb very soon when the target changed one small thing. Can't believe I have played with radar missiles for so long and didn't know this, thanks for the video!
It was kinda explained in a devblog when that 3 circle system was first added but it wasn't clear so me and my buddies did some testing to figure it out. I think the wiki explains this as well and maybe Mike and Oxy have done a guide stream for it like they did for Air to Ground weapons, but don't quote me on that. As for anything in game explaining it no.
Its listed in several places :D
5:21 The fireflashes are so cool, probably my favourite type of missile in the game. So fun to use
Yea I haven't really used the swift much so haven't had a ton of opportunities to use fireflashes.
the bit with the Swift F.7's missiles actually helped me lol
first time i tried to use it was like deciphering hieroglyphs..
Can we all take a minute to appreciate the dedication of missiles? They are programmed to have one job : destroy the desired target : and they would do ANYTHING to make their host (the plane or mother plane) safe so the target doesn’t harm the aircraft..
SACLOS stands for Semi _Automatic_ Command Line of Sight, not Semi Active. And it DOES NOT mean beam riding. Beam riding is a separate thing. SACLOS missiles have an IR beacon in the rear and a control system that tracks the missile from the aircraft and sends steering commands over radio or wire to keep it in the middle of the IR sensor's FOV.
Did I say Active? If I did that's a whoops on my part that I didn't catch when editing. I'll throw that onto the notes of things to change whenever I need to update this video again.
Dont have any planes with Air to air missiles but you did get my attention
Awesome. I k ow it’s not easy or quick to reach the higher tiers of War Thunder, but that’s what I have the most fun playing.
First!!!! We're on the highway to the danger zone.
Yes I wonder how you managed to be first? Not like I told you when it would go live or anything.
Now if only we had some larger maps.
@@rampageTG shhhh they don't need to know that. Also yes, would be lovely...
Then when Larger maps come there is fewer reasons to with hold the MiG 25. Then I can do Funny Mach 3 things.
F-14 gaming with the boys is righteous
@@agentwashington317 anything with friends is usually fun, but especially so for the F-14.
hey! great video, it covers basically everything i've had to learn myself in my many games at missile tier, except maybe 1 little tidbit you missed:
on the radar scope, when you're using radar missiles (and in the past, ir missiles as well), you will get 3 lines appearing on the side of your scope (or across the entire cone if you use that display), with 1 being longer than the other 2
those 2 lines are actually estimating the maximum and minimum range of the selected missile, while taking into account the enemy's speed *and* your own speed, as well as both of your altitudes. the longer line simply shows where your target's range in a convenient place. tl;dr long line in between 2 short lines -> high probability of kill
i've personally used it alot to save my missiles for less risky shots (although the minimum range can be wrong, it assumes the missile has to maneuver at least a little bit, which sometimes isn't needed in a head-on)
I know of it. I’m gonna be covering that in my radar tutorial. I contemplated adding it here, but I wanted to avoid going into stuff related to radars as much as possible. Just trying to keep the focus on missiles.
@@rampageTG ahh, gotcha, that makes sense
@@anthocyanin still good thought. This is one of those things that could go in either video and I’ll probably just end up pinning this comment.
That's a very useful explaination!
@@shotgunner3780 welcome. I'm hyped to see how far it goes.
For a 700 sub dude, nice work. Very interesting to see new videos on weapons as other bigger youtubers do not update their old ones
Thanks a lot. I figured a lot of people would be looking for info on how to use the new ARH missiles, so I figured it would be a good first video after that patch instead of trying to make another aircraft review right away. I also like helping people if I have some knowledge in the area their having trouble with. Still working on making a review for the F14 though cause I want to.
Yea the only larger YT channel I know whos been keeping up with top tier guides is Tim’s Variety. He did a great vid for radars and he should be updating his missile vid soon.
Finally a video explaining how missiles and radar works in a way that is easy to under stand, especially since I am new to jets with missiles. Thanks.
Big thanks for this, by far the best missile explanation on CZcams
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
The best missile video so far! You earned my sub!
Thanks. I’ve been pretty inactive this year seeing as how I’ve only posted like 1 video all year. Not sure when the next one will come out as I’m working 75+hrs a week atm.
Great guide. I'm starting to research jets and this will very helpful
Also I have a feeling your channel is going to blow up big time from this guide.
Oh its defiantly been surprising me how well this has been doing and how quickly its done it. I've had large jumps in views on previous videos before, but both times I had gotten a shoutout from bigger YTs that I know. First one being seeker head and the second being Zultan. This is my first video that's really blown up like this on its own in the first week.
@@rampageTG I think one of the reasons is that it's currently the only modern updated guide on AAM. After your outdated AAM video the only other most recent AAM video is from 7 months ago and people have a tendency to choose the most recent video.
@@Ulfur8574 I mean I figured that would play a role in it as well. I was just never expecting it to do this good.
I know I can't really compete for being the first to review a new vehicle as I have to grind it out and then spade it, play it, and then make a video. So I can't really pump out a quick vid like the guys in the CC program can. I figured the AAM vid would be easier to do since while I still had to get the F14 and AIM 54, I didn't have to fully spade it, and the script was already pretty much fully written. Biggest part I had to add was the ARH section and then I to make some corrections to the SARH section to add that second way of using them.
I forgot to watch this when you sent it in discord. But absolute 10/10 video my dude. You did great.
Thanks man
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
I’ve been doing tests since the patch dropped and it seems that the AIM-54A starts tracking by itself between 20-15km. Hope this bit of info helps.
Yea its radars lock range translates to about 16km. the extra range there probably has to do with some planes having a larger RCS than others.
@@rampageTG I assumed so.
small nitpick on all aspect IR missiles
it was not cooling that allowed them to see all aspect shots, it was a entirely different sensor material that has a different detecting spectrum allowing it to see deeper into the IR-spectrum
on older missile it was either uncooled or cooled PbS (Lead sulfide) while on more modern missiles cooled InSb (Indium antimonide) is used
Cooling Lead-sulfide btw reduced the sensititvity to the sun and allowed missiles to be fired outside a 5° dead zone around the sun compared the 20° that uncooled PbS detectors had
it also made the seekers less easily confused by sun reflections from vegetation, clouds or water.
Cool thanks for the info. I figure I'll have to update this video again in the future so I'll be sure to correct that part then.
@@rampageTG if you want to know how SARH actually work I suggest to check my video on the AIM-7, where I explained how its autopilot functions based on historical sources.
"You will hear a low pitch growl, Indicated the missile is ready to lock on."
Cutest missile.
The fireflash has a very forgiving proxy radius and is absolutely devastating in head ons. In a head on, just before you are in guns range then fire and pull away immediately. in a head on theres not much that can pull away fast enough to make it out of its proxy radius so its basically a guaranteed kill every time you get into a head on.
Please do a video on the characteristics of each missile variant. E.g AIM9G vs 9D etc. And the best ways to employ them.
Great content dude, subbed.
Thanks for the sub. As for a video on each specific missile I’m not sure. That would be a huge undertaking. Though I do discuss specific missiles in my aircraft reviews. Granted if I’ve covered a missile before on a previous aircraft I might not go into as much detail on a future video cause at least from my perspective it would get boring hearing me repeat the same things over and over.
👍 Thank-You! 😍
Looking forward to your upcoming RADAR vids... 😃
ETA on that should be 2-3 weeks hopefully.
@@rampageTG 👍 I'm subscribing so I won't miss out! 😃
Thanks for this video! I will sub for more content!
very informative and educational thank you so much
Your welcome.
Great video
Thank you. I don’t know a lot of things about missiles because my knowledge is on the aircraft themselves and not their armament.
Great guide
Subscribed!
Thanks. Working on the next vid right now.
Great vid! Keep it up! :)
I plan to as long as I have something interesting/informative to say.
Already knew most of this stuff but i still learned things.
Glad you found some new bits of information.
I like the video, it gives a good understanding of guided missiles for people who recently got into top tier aircraft
That was the goal of the video, so glad it achieved that.
The missile doesn't "warm up" it actually is the time needed to cool the seeker on the nose of the missile. So it is cooling the missile not warming it.
The missile knows where it is.
But it begins to question its existence.
Very good presentation. Is much appreciated. I bought the Tornado IDS but i am afraid to use it as I don't understand any of the radar/missile tech.
5:00 wow thank you so much!
Welcome
Actually, my problem is having a weird key bind setup that I have already internalized. So, as I keep climbing the tank and unlocking new weapon systems, I find myself trapped with my keybinds into weird combos.
I was to for a while until my keybind setting were randomly deleted for some reason after an update and I had to reset everything. I like the setup I have now. Basically all my radar controls use a Lft Ctrl modifier and all my weapon, wing, and vtol setting use an alt modifier. If you want you can look at my keyboard and mouse controls in the links section of my discord.
@@rampageTG thank you very much 👌🏽
good job man keep it up
I’m going to. Script is done for my F14 review and I’ll be working on recording the voice over later today. Hope to have it up late tomorrow if I’m lucky, probably gonna be wed/thur though. It’s about as long as my script for the A10A.
If I’m being honest, if I can fire it and it gets me kills MOST of the time then that’s all I need, show me the bottoms and off it goes. Every informative guide however very useful!👍
very well done
thanks for watching bud.
@@rampageTG you have potential
Subscribed and liked because danger stick is funny name
It is a funny name. Very happy with that title which is why I didn’t change it.
Finally I can know how to use AIM-7's
Nice
You know it’s a danger stick because when someone sees it coming towards them they go “AAAAA-“
Leaving a comment for the algorithm gods
Nice video
Great video bro, could you do a quide on air-to-ground missiles and quided bombs like the gbu-8 ?
Already covered that. Nothing drastically new has come about so I haven’t had a need to update it like the Air-to-Air tutorial.
Precision Strike: A Beginners Guide to Air-to-Ground Weapons in War Thunder
czcams.com/video/V4WO1PrBTPg/video.html
Please do an air to ground missile guide? This was well done and I have a very hard time figuring out key binds and how to get the locks to work and then fire.
Already did. Check my guides playlist.
this is way higher effort and quality than 95% of other War Thunder stuff, were you in DCS and hit your head and get lost or something? :D Nice work!
I do play DCS. Haven’t as much the past year since they screwed up VR FPS. Still thanks.
@@rampageTG really great work, I've gone through and watched a bunch of your videos tonight and have passed on at least one to friends learning jets
@@onezerotwo I appreciate it.
Thanks for trying to help educate. I do the amw but get fussed st. I taught alot of peope. and noobs alot of stuff. I talk about it on streams and stream teaching at times
The Phoenix will always go active within 10mi to the target in war thunder. it even gives it's launching aircraft an rwr warning when it's launched maddog
I did say an ARH will go active once its within its lock range and if you fire from within that range it will be active from the start. I have not noticed the rwr warning when launched maddog myself..
@@rampageTGthe (borderline) maddog launch at 16:25 in the video shows this phenomena, keep an eye on the RWR as soon as you enter 10mi. I was also just denoting the 10mi pitbull range lol
For some reason I haven't been notified of any of your recent videos for over a month. CZcams doing what CZcams does.
Well that sucks. Though I haven’t keeps the most consistent upload schedule, so could also be that.
I love when my phoenix goes pitbull mode on an harmless SU-22M3
Very well put together video, thank you 💕
Your welcome. Currently working on one for radar that I’m about 1/4 done with the script.
@@rampageTG Good stuff, ill be looking forward to it. Researched the EJ kai but don't have enough creds and im not having much luck with the ground cluttered radar on the EJ with its sparrows.
nice video looking forward to the radar video becouse i am confused how PD works in game
ETA on that is hopefully in the next 2-3 weeks. Working on an F14 vid this week. After that not sure If I'll be able to finish the Radar one in a single week as those scripts take a long time to write.
QUESTION: I am trying to using the AIM-7C Sparrow missiles on the F3H-2. I have the lock radar key set, but when I hit the buttons to use it I get no lock. All I get is those flashing green lines in the shape of a box for a second, but nothing. Can anyone help? I'm on console if it makes a difference
Wow first time I’ve seen another player other than myself using imperial measurements for altitude and distance. feet is the internationally recognized standard unit for altitude by traffic controllers and pilots.
18:18 Bro killed an IL2 with F14, very well balance Gaijin
If you slave an IR missile to someone shoot it while keeping your radar rock then can someone still flare it away with regular flares minus chaff?
bro has his speed in knots
Yea cause it’s the international standard. I’d be using nautical miles for range as well if it was an option.
plz tell me how did you make this radar Hud perfect i can see in it in my game radar hud can't see like this plz tell me if any tips to make my hud radar like you ?
i call the aim9b a slightly guided spear
5:20 Wait what, didn't know it actually works
I didn’t either until someone pointed it out to me on my original air to air tutorial. So I made sure to include that correction in this one.
pogging
Indeed we are.
Literally pogging
Where did you get the VFA-2 F-14 Livery?
It comes in all shapes and sizes
RampageTG - 2022
I noticed that after the ARH there are the IOG and DL acronyms. Do you know what they are and how they affect the missile? I noticed that the R24R had IOG as well so it’s not just for ARH missiles.
DL stands for Data Link. Basically basically how the missile talks to the launch aircraft so that it can be feed the targets location mid flight before it’s radar goes active.
IOG can’t remember off the top of my head what it stood for. I know I answered it in another comment somewhere. So I wasn’t to sure on this one, but basically what I found was IOG was acronym for a type of missile guidance algorithm. Could be wrong on this one though so I would love for someone more familiar to double check me.
I don't know what IOG actually stands for, but it means the weapon is inertially guided. This applies also to certain other weapons like the Hellfire or Paveway III. Functionally, it means that the weapon will continue to guide on its last known track even if guidance is lost. The launching aircraft can also typically preload the missile with a track, I'm not certain that the R-24R does this but notably it has a maximum SARH seeker range of 30km, so I suspect it can. No datalink, so if it does lock on after launch may be suspect.
Fun fact: You can target lock the Sun with IR missles.
Yes you can.
Pro tip for all of us indoor people who think the sun is a disease xD
Pretty sure the Shafrir 2 has an uncaged head. As it's an AIM-9G's seeker head on an AIM-D with a slightly worse motor.
That’s something that was changed after I made this video.
How did you get the radar view on the right? Mine is a cone, i much prefer the square
It’s a setting in the option menu. Can’t remember the name of it off the top of my head right now, but I’ll get back to you with it later if you haven’t found it.
You have to go to options, then select Air battle settings and click the switch for: "Use rectangular radar indicator".
^ yep this is it.
What's the latest vehicle you can get a missile?
Please note that Radar/IRST control keybindings displayed are wrong.
Right bindings to be found are as spoken:
Horizontal Radar/IRST target cue control axis
Vertical Radar/IRST target cue control axis
Aso please make sure these are RELATIVE CONTROLS; otherwise it will just jump to max setting and back to centre.
If this still doesn't work - no you aren't stupid, you're just like me. What you need to do is go to:
options -> air battle settings -> target cyclic switching of aircraft radar.
After all of these steps are completed, load your F-14 with 6 aim -54's, and get a triple kill right from spawn. Because herp-a-derp mapdesign and powercreep. :D
Oops guess I forgot to mention that in this video. I did mention it in the F14 review and plan to go over it in the radar tutorial.
@@rampageTG yeah no worries, I just felt EXTREMELY STUPID when I did everything according to multiple tutorials and didn't get it to work.
Figured I'd post it here as your vid was probably one of the better ones on the topic anyhow. Maybe more eyes see it?
I spent hours tying to figure out what iog is. Not much so fsr yet
What's the best controller scheme for consoles to be able to use the missiles properly
I’ve never played on console so I don’t really know the best way to answer that. Though I would say using the Fire Primary, Switch Primary, Fire Secondary, and Switch Secondary weapon controls are probably the best given they use less keybinds overall.
hi nice video ..i want to ask about which key i must use to change targets in green box i mean how can i change targets
That's the "switch target to lock" keybind. Should see the exact name in both the SARH and ARH sections.
@@rampageTG thanks dude i got it keep up the good work
Smart boom rods
Some yes, others not so much.
mine just dont follow them even if i lock on and it turns red (f5-c) but i have gotten kills with missiles its a hit or miss sometimes it follows and sometime it goes right pass(not even using flares) and idk why
The F5C gets AIM 9Es. These are 10G missiles. They don’t pull very hard so are pretty easy to dodge even without flares.
@@rampageTG thank you, any other tips for that jet? To use it to its maximum potential?
Guys i need help, when firing a radar missile i want to se where it goes (by spectating it) but how? Where is the key?
Should be the "Tracking Camera: Bomb/Torpedo" keybind. Not sure what it is defaulted to, but I have mine as U.
They should add the X-4 AAM on the Me-262
What does mean PID in the excel-table?
Ok I wasn't sure either so I did a quick google search. PID stands for Proportional Integral Derivative. Its part of the math used by missiles to determine how far they need to lead the target for a successful interception. So all those numbers in the missile excel table are the variables it plugs into the formula for that missile. I haven't had time to study the math enough to figure out what each one does though.
On two seater jets can a second player be the "RIO"?
No this isn’t DCS. I doubt we will ever see multi crew either. People having been asking for multi crew as far back as 2013 with bomber gunners.
Any advise for the R-24 IOG missiles?
R24 depends on what version you are using the R24R uses a SARH seeker while the R24T uses an IR seeker. So depending on what you are using will dictate how you fly the MiG 23.
@@rampageTG I wish to know more about the R24R. It says it's SAHR+IOG guided but I don't know what IOG means
@@Pivotthepup can’t remember what IOG stands for again. I know I answered it a long time ago in the comments of this video.
Basically it’s an addition to the missiles guidance loop that will let it remember the last known trajectory it was on and will keep on that even if a lock is lost. This can sometimes allow you to reacquire a lock after it is lost.
What is a passive radar homing missile?
That’s a SARH. Active means it has its own radar that sends out a radar pulse and then picks up the return. Passive doesn’t send out its own pulse and can only pick up return pulses from another radar. Passive is just referred to as Semi Active in this case.
@@rampageTG aaaaah ok makes sense! thank you!
Question: Is the R24R The best fox 1 of ussr?
It used to be. Now it’s the R27ER.
Good stuff to anyone needing to learn the game take it from me a local shitter
Yep I’m always down for trying help people learn more about that game that gaijin doesn’t bother to explain.
15:01 What does IOG and DL mean?
Well DL stands for Data Link, so the system that lets the missile talk to the aircraft before it goes active. Now I have no idea what IOG stands for. Using an acronym dictionary the best I can come up with would be Input-Output Gate which may make some sense, but I'm still not convinced.
Are we ready for the aim-120 amraam?
No not at all. While yes it’s an ARH missile like the Phoenix, it has a much harder radar to notch, is more maneuverable, and a lot better at lower altitudes.
im having reall trouble with using the r23r on the mig 23 am i just bad or do they suck
Since there is a 1.7 sec delay before the R23R begins tracking its not great in close range engagements. Anything under about 4 mi (6.4KM) is going to be very hard for the missile to hit as it wont have much time to maneuver before after it starts tracking. I went over how I used them in my mig 23m video if you want to check that out.
@@rampageTG thanks for the response, its just that when i directtly look at a plane my radar actually needs glasses because it dosent come up on the radar so i cant lock basicly is it just a bug or am i just stupid here lol
@@uphori1484 There currently isn't any bugs with the MiG 23s radar that I'm aware of. What radar mode are you using?
@@rampageTG normal i guess? the one i spawn in with
@@uphori1484 If your just using the normal Pulse search mode you will find it difficult to find targets that you are pointing down at or are at low altitude.

Hopefully that will help.
You forgot about the kh-66 on the mig-21pfm
I read this as 4 years ago
Now we just need a HARM/anti rad guide... When gaijin finally adds them... :(
Whenever they do add ARMs I'll probably put that in an updated air to ground tutorial.
me: has played 7k hours and my highest plane is 1.7
also me: ah interesting
How do you shoot locked on missile on Xbox?
I do not have an xbox so I'm not entirely sure. However I would suggest going into your controls look for either Fire Air-to-Air or Fire Secondary weapon. The reason I suggest using Fire Secondary Weapon instead is that it cuts down on the amount of keybinds need. Instead of needing keybinds to fire multiple types of suspended ordinance, you can set just 2. Fire Secondary weapon obviously fires the weapon, and Switch Secondary Weapon (the second one needed) will cycle through each type of weapon you have equiped.
Did that end up helping?
@@rampageTG I’ll get back to you tomorrow!! But no this game really is designed for the computer so I’ll probably download it on my pc:) amazing video btw nothing really like this
@@tashi7594 alright well I’ve got some buddies who used to play on console so I can ask them if your still having trouble figuring it out.
I do think PC is the best way to play the game, but nothing wrong with playing on console to. I started playing on an old shitty laptop and now I’ve got my own PC I built myself. Gaijin has done a good job on getting the game to run on just about anything.
@@rampageTG hell yeah man and it worked thank you so much!!! And yeah I have a pc but just never got around to downloading it but do you think my progress can transfer over or am going to have to grind again 😂😭
I don’t call them danger sticks but instead air torpedos
Thats not bad either. Danger stick was the first thing that came to mind when I was trying to think of a catchy title.
Wait arent shafirs 2 uncaged
They could be now. Back when I made this video they where caged. I remember the 9D and the Shafir 2 getting swapped at some point.
@@rampageTG yeah now the aim9d is caged and the shafir 2 is uncaged
So that missile knows where it is by by knowing where it is by not not knowing where it is it knows where it isn’t
ARRRRRR(H)
Yea it’s not the best acronym for normal speech. Though it beats saying active radar homing every single time.
As a big saclos enjoyer, i wish there where more planes with the fireflash
Yea would be interesting if we got a few more SACLOS missile planes.
I agree. They give a lot of versatility compared to early IR missiles. Some planes of note, early Hunter models and the Meteor NF.11 could use the Fireflash, while the Mig17PFU, Mig19 and Su9 could use the Eastern equivalent, K5. I think they'd really spice up the 8.7-9.7 meta
@@thomasmacdonough288 As for the US I'm pretty sure the Sparrow 1 was a beam rider. The mounted some to the F3D and an earlier F3H variant got them as well.
Yep, and should we ever get the Cutlass I believe it could use them as well. And also the Firebird on the F82, but that is most definitely a dream and complete overkill. Well, unless they sell it as a prem or smth lol
Aaaaaaaaaand gaijin just changed how missiles work in WT.
Not really. If I'm reading the datamine correctly it looks like they're just reducing the warm up time for IR missiles to 1 second like SARH and ARH missiles.
@@rampageTG I have been thinking about this all day, and I went to go try it out and it seems they haven’t changed the cool down/ (warm up?) times.
@@Buzz-vq5gz No they haven't come yet. My guess is they will come tomorrow during the server maintenance
immun to flares sahr aham suure always the radar change lock for tha flare
You’re running into people running mixed flare and chaff for their countermeasures. They deploy both at the same time as there is currently no way to drop one or the other. You just think it’s only flares as that’s visible while the chaff isn’t.
I suggest you go test it for yourself with a buddy. Have him run only flares then mixed.
@@rampageTG erhm i tested it and yeah Mig-21s R3-r the radar did a lock the opponent one of my frend deploy ONLY FLARE and the radar instant lock the flare. Irl the radar never lock the flare you right but in wt lots of times lock the flare ohh and the chaff is visible if theye use.
Why am I watching this I don't even have jets yet
