Superb video. Thank you.

👍👍👍👍 Repost and share so others can find it! Glad you liked it. Check out the one I have on the sidewinder missiles too

[@Fox3-Luck]

Thanks Plazma, great video.

[@plazma1945]

Thank you good sir. I even snuck in the fox3 logo on there

[@holkemann]

Well, we got the M. Any thoughts on this now? Might just be the improved range that benefits us?

[@plazma1945]

Indeed the improved range Esp for high altitude intercepts against enemy jets. But still try to get a little below the enemies to. Help your radar

[@seancolvin8545]

That was a good presentation...

[@s0tze]

they've already said in the manual the following versions of the sparrow will be available: AIM-7E, E2, F and M

[@plazma1945]

But which sparrow is which? What is the sparrow d. Why would you use an e vs e2 and other questions are answered in this video! Also is the f4e has a pulse radar the aim7m and p should not be compatible

[@saffronlynx5580]

@@plazma1945 The DMAS Phantom should be able to carry the M and P because the manual from Heatblur says the phantom can carry them

@@saffronlynx5580 Overall, pre-DMAS bird isn't exactly a Vietnam-only bird, but can be that with some payload restriction, or can represent both USAF and international post-war service beautifully. DMAS on the other hand, is the more strike optimized bird used by USAF and some others during the 80s and up. Things both have in common: - Slats - AIM-9J and Ps (whether they got L/M seems contentious, I personally don't remember seeing them being mentioned for E in the docs I have) - AIM-7E-2 and F - Self lasing with their respective (old-school) TGPs to drop GBU-12 and GBU-10 LGBs. - AGM-45 Shrike anti-radar missiles (that should be rather adventurous :P) - AGM-65 Mavericks, I believe up to D, but perhaps it'll be up to D for DMAS bird. Fairly sure I did see Ds being mentioned for pre DMAS birds too, but been a while I've read the stuff.

[@plazma1945]

Flanker users, yayy we know that fox one well

[@OperatorAron]

Phantom is coming out today, what sparrow shoud we use? Thrre are 2 versions, normal and e2

[@plazma1945]

i saw the SPARROW 7M in the video from youtubers that got the airplane.. so.... looks like you even the the 7m.. i would suggest getting a 7E x2 and 7E2 x2 use the 7E for longer range, use the 7E2 for short range dogfights

[@OperatorAron]

@@plazma1945 thanks! I probably use only for longer range then becouse aim 9 are for dogfight, arent sparrows able to be shot at same distance? That's what i heard and that's why i through E2 Has same range but its more manuvrable

[@TheGranicd]

Aim7 was truly best Sparrow on F4.

[@plazma1945]

Ahh but which one 7e 7e2 7f

[@NoRegret08]

I know that in the Apache, when you fly as a pilot, you can have George look for targets. Is it possible for a pilot to shoot at a target himself with 30mm cannon once George finds the target ? Thanks PS I don't have this module, but thinking of getting it.

[@plazma1945]

I think jester will just be a radar operator like in the tomcat and you as a pilot still have the launch control
