[@Boris_The_Turtle]

Pro tip: it’s generally not ideal to fire more Fox-3s on TWS at a time(until they reach terminal homing) than your datalink can keep track of. Only really a problem on aircraft like the MiG-29SMT, Su-27SM, and J-11A. They can datalink 2, 2, 1 missiles at once respectively.

[@DEFYN]

F15c can do 8 too

[@Boris_The_Turtle]

@@DEFYNYeah I forgor about that. F-15C can track 8, F-16C can now track 6, and J-11 can only track 1 lol. It’s only really the MiG-29SMT and Su-27SM now that can only datalink 2 at once. Not sure about the tornado. Ima edit the comment so I don’t do the classic War Thunder player spreading misinformation activity :)

[@Kompotamus]

@@Boris_The_Turtle My TWS never seems to behave enough to use it properly. I try to crank and all that and the missiles just, never go where I intended with the TWS spasming out.

[@Boris_The_Turtle]

@@Kompotamus It’s probably a product of how janky TWS behaves and the missile running out of speed at range. The last time I remember TWS working properly was on the Danger Zone update. TWS nowadays on all the radars randomly veers off the enemy aircraft you are tracking, and starts tracking literally nothing. Sometimes even locks air molecules for some reason. When the TWS is being troublesome, you may prefer hard locking a target to fire the missile.

[@Juho-uf8si]

Having Gripen A makes very little sense to me at the moment, depending on the map i can get reasonable results but if there is no terrain cover im just defending all the time unless i get a sneaky flank going on. still 700k rp for aim-120's so fun. really tempted to just GE the C model lol

What do you expect? This game isn't a hardcore simulator, but it is based on real aircraft with real weapons systems. Modern air combat is fought with missiles. The game mode is called "Realistic Air Battles." This is what realistic air battles look like. If you don't *like* it that's OK but there is plenty of close in dogfighting to be had at other BRs, whether you go with mid-war props or early jets or 3rd gen fighters.

[@notafrog2040]

I'd like to optimize my binds to improve efficiency.

[@miss_bec]

Considering how dominant FOX-3s are, it's fucking criminal that FOX-1s aren't part of the stock kit. The F-15C comes with a pair of AIM-9Ms (rather than a full loadout of them) as stock, but even that's barely enough. For your first 10 games, you're gonna be stuck groundpounding against light vehicles because you don't even get bombs stock. It's just so messy for no reason other than frustrating players into paying to skip the grind.

[@xevious4142]

Defyn not sure if you'll see this but they put the data channels that each fox 3 plane gets in the patch notes. Mostly doesn't matter but the Russian jets (SU-27SM, MIG-29SMT, J-11S) only get 2 channels so they can only guide that many missiles at a time.

At least in DCS it sort of can. AIM54 has crazy range but worse guidance than the newer missiles so if you use the range and avoid getting into range of the other missiles it can work. If you get in range of the newer stuff though, you're at a big disadvantage.

Play with 0 chaff so you can experience the stock grind hell that you're wishing for. 😉

Only reason youtubers hate multipathing is because they can be shot down now instead of cheesing an unrealistic mechanic

[@Elijah1573]

Im honestly really shocked defyn said the change is bad since now you actually have to use real tactics to evade missiles Of all people i would have expected him to support the change

[@ferrous3262]

making it easier for bad players to get kills is a dumb change of course peopel with skill wont like it

[@Elijah1573]

@@ferrous3262 You can say the same thing about evading radar missiles too Multipathing lets you just fly under 100m in a straight line doing nothing else and the missile just goes dumb Imo theres nothing skilled about that

@@ferrous3262 You actually have to do something to avoid them now, seems like the opposite of dumb.

It would be very beneficial for you to use manual radar controls to steer your tws radar to the right edge at 11:10. You can still use cycle targets and not full manual if that's most comfortable, also slewing up or down is needed.

I was on vacation during the update. Almost have Aim120's. Hopefully they fun :D

[@indiancurry1318]

gaijin also made shift + D default for switching which countermeasures u fire. so if ur spamming ur flare key and no flares are popping thats prob why

[@TheOriginalCoca]

Trying to grind the F-16C with 2 Fox 2 missiles is a pain. With this patch they should make Fox 1 missiles stock for fox 3 capable planes.

Do I need GE? Nah man I need a damn life.

[@nucleardrifting3864]

What do the numbers next to the missile left mean? I'm assuming it's missile guidance time remaining for the most recent missile fired.

[@TomPrickVixen]

Speaking of patch-day all the laser auto-trackers are broken or non can lock-on now, and i have to manually guide the GBUs, Mavericks, Hellfires, Kh-29L ... u name it, aka any laser guided air-to ground weapons. Also i don't think the AMRAAMs can justify the high BR on planes like the AV-8B - doesn't even has data-link -, (not to mention that by the time and suffering u unlock fox3s on planes like the Tornado U'd never want to fly that plane ever again), but we'll see.

How in the world am I supposed to stock grind this thing? I haven't found a way to reliably get past BVR distances to go for a kill.

hey defyn! hope all is well in the beautiful Netherlands, I am saying hello from London and Kosovo! I have two quick questions: what settings do you use for graphics/what are your specs and why is the Vulcan the best gun at top tier? ps: if anyone else can answer please do as I know defyn is super busy! have a great day to you all

[@TYLRTHCRTOR]

What’s with the timer next to the missile count after shooting off an AIM-120?

[@Red_Lion2000]

I like the multipathing nerf, but it needed to come with smaller team sizes. At least people cant just fly low to be 100% safe anymore, now shit planes with decent missiles like the tornado and new harrier are actually playable.
