  • @jakobc.2558
    @jakobc.2558 Před 10 měsíci +6

    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.

  • @eiteiei4063
    @eiteiei4063 Před 10 měsíci +3

    Small note, if you want to hit your Fox 1s much more consistently, if chaffed, DON'T BREAK AND RE-ACQUIRE LOCK! If your missile has CW or Continuous Wave guidance, it will still steer towards the original target you launched on as long as the radar illuminates it even a little, if you break and try to lock the enemy aircraft again, the missile will fly blind for a while and may not find the target again, leading to it self destructing. So, when chaffed, just let the radar be, if the missile is already on short final into your enemy's cockpit, it'll find it's way there even if the box isn't on tha plane!

    I'm a little late sorry but I just had to say that while I am a newer player (lvl50) im still learning the ropes on props and jets, but your channel is by far the most helpful when I am trying to figure out where I went wrong. Sure I have had my good moments and clips, but this channel made me realize early on that the most important part of the game when learning is dying and figuring out how I could have reduced the chance of that happening that way. I'm already writing an essay but the jist is thank you for being here mate!

  • @rags417
    @rags417 Před 10 měsíci

    Thanks for all that - REALLY helpful (or will be when i finally get in to higher tiers). Other tutorials have focused on the technology whereas your video focused on the usage, both are good to know but yours are much more useful.
    Your video brought to my mind at least three things things that Gaijin still needs to do.
    The first is to add radio direction finding or RDF on certain older aircraft. This wasn't a big thing in combat and was designed mainly to help friendly aircraft navigate in bad weather to an airfield or carrier but I could see this being used in game whenever an enemy aircraft used chat to give a quick clue as to which direction they a rein reference to the player, very handy in late game battles where there are only a few enemy left.
    The second would be to overhaul the gunsight system to show the differences between fixed, gyrostabilised and radar directed gunsights. Gyrostabilised sights should move the pipper in 3rd person mode away from the direction of turn based on g-pull while radar gunsights would do the same but also show a simplified form of the arcade style lead indicator. One of the big advantages of the F-86 over the MiG-15 in Korea was having radar gunsights yet as you point out this is nearly useless in game.
    The last big change would be to add a DCS-style "Jester" or guy in back function for multi-seat aircraft, including all bombers. This would be a series of audible clues as to enemies spotted, missile launches, incoming gunfire and so on and could like radar be set to more or less detail - having half a dozen gunners on your B-17 call a passing FW-190 might be overload but having just the left and right waist gunners call out as he passed would be very useful. It may be crew skill based so more experienced crews give shorter, more accurate and more relevant shout outs.
    While I am dreaming there is one last bonus change I would like and that would be a GCI function for certain matches that had it for one or both sides. The function would be initiated by a bound keystroke and would give the bearing range and altitude (BRA) info of the last known location of the nearest enemy to the player. This would replace the current battlefield radar minimap in RB and would IMO be a lot more useful then a field of cluttered red and blue markers.

    Amazing Guide! One thing that I hoped to see was mentioning that PDV (HDN) and MTI do not support/don't work with IFF. I, as a sim player, get a bit annoyed when I get missiled by a tm8 and then hear that I was marked as a enemy. I'm sure a few viewers here play sim battles and might not know about it yet, or they are just starting to play sim battles in F-4S and end up killing tm8s (to be fair, I did so too in the mig-23). Nonetheless, it is a very helpful and high quality guide :D!

    Honestly an amazing video, I've been using radars ever since Fox 1's have been added and thought I had it all figured out but it turns out I had a lot of misconceptions about what the things actually mean, for example I thought the square display was a C scope and not just the same thing as conical and the little dot with the line once you lock someone was the direction the plane was traveling not its direction relative to you. Super helpful guide Defyn thank you so much for taking the time to explain all this, especially with how key radar is to top tier its dumb that Gaijin leaves players to figure everything out on their own.
    One question I do have, whenever I'm using TWS on my Mirage 2000 or MiG-29, using the switch target button to cycle through the TWS targets will switch my radar to ACM for a few seconds before actually changing the TWS lock. I've fiddled around with my controls and there doesn't seem to be a conflict in buttons between them, do you know what could possibly be causing this?

      Playing all the mirage 2000s, I don’t think I have experienced this. Haven’t played them for a few days, but maybe there’s a bit of delay, and the default state is ACM ? However, I can assure you that during the time you switch to and from TWS, it does NOT lock anything, so it’s not really doing ACM, maybe it’s just visual

      You really ought to be using the moving box to select TWS targets over cycling through them all anyway. You gotta go change it in the control settings.
