FOX 3s - Gaijin Actually did Something Nice - WT Sim MiG-29SMT feat. R77s

I'm really enjoying this new meta. It could still be improved, but after years of playing "Call of Duty" with planes in the top tier, this is a breath of fresh air

[@AeroTurtle]

I gotta say the FOX-3's change the dynamic of SIM sooooooooo much. I love it!!! Great video too!!!!

[@Spicysauced]

Thanks man :) I hope they don't mess it up with some future "corrections". It's still Gaijin after all ...

[@jussi8111]

and everyone who has to fight against them with out having them will have sooooo much fun...

[@dubstepmachine4430]

@@jussi8111 more fun than you're expecting. makes you treat the hostiles with a lot of caution so you need to pick your targets wisely and play defensively. its quite fun.

[@dubstepmachine4430]

A lot of people were saying it'd change the dynamic of ALL of warthunder but honestly realistic will never change no matter what. it will always be an absolute mess lol

[@User-gx3sr]

Everyone still flys on the deck, nullifying the new missiles in sim.

[@milosterzic6452]

Your voice is very pleasant to listen to, nice accent aswell :) i dont know how come you aren't much more popular, i love watching your videos!

[@Spicysauced]

Thank you :)

[@jordanr0419]

Just so you know, you can now independently deploy chaff and flare, that’s what’s that armament me u is for. You can also you shift+D to cycle C/F selection

[@dubstepmachine4430]

All sim is missing now is really true volumetric clouds (that effect visibility of your own aircraft), condensation clouds on the aircraft, AWACS, more ground battles for CAS, helicopters, and actual useable TV monitors so you dont have to swap to a different view to operate them.

[@wt_joystick_ace]

I learned recently that the left side bar of the HUD shows you optimal range for the r77. If the arrow is between the the top and middle block I believe it shows the missile will hit its target during terminal phase (when the missile no longer is providing its own thrust, I may have the term wrong) and if it’s between the bottom two blocks it will hit during boost phase. When firing offensively it helps a lot. Any idea if that is accurate? Great video btw!

[@Spicysauced]

These are range parameters. It's a mirror of what you see in your radar. Thanks!

[@ksenonscentral1187]

Hi, i wanna share something i learnt from playing DCS which should already be in war thunder as well, its about the HUD of the Su27s and Mig29s when you have someone in a radar lock, you can see on the left bar (left line that runs pretty much the entire height of the hud) you can see 3 little boxes and the arrow, so all of that indicates if the missile is launched now what is the POK (probability of kill) so basically you have 2 boxes on the lower end of that line that close together, and if you have the arrow in between those two boxes that indicates that if you launch the missile at that moment you would have the highest POK. And if the arrow is not between the bottom two boxes , the launch will less likely result in a kill. However waiting so long can get u killed. I didn't fly the western jets, though i do think that the F16 and F15 have that, i am not sure if it was a Circle on the hud that shrinks or was it something else.

[@RaeAGE]

“Biased towards the US for some reason” probably because they have the best planes IRL as well

[@Spicysauced]

Says who. The US? :)

[@mikkim-mh9bc]

1:36 Actually the AV-8B Plus has access to AIM-120s, if that airframe interests you.

[@Spicysauced]

Not at all :D But thanks :)

[@ozgurozmen3378]

A can I ask what are your input devices (keyboard and mouse or ps5 controller or just a sim kit)

[@Spicysauced]

Of course mate, T16000m and TrackIR.

[@vladimirvojtaml]

We need to wait for more busted stuff like R-37M because only modern versions of R-77 are without the stupid fins.

[@Spicysauced]

As a "anything-but-US-planes" main my eyes sparkle with joy when I read R37m, but Im afraid that thing would be a bit too strong to handle for the other side :)

[@vladimirvojtaml]

@@Spicysauced Well if we could get Mig-31 that could carry them or just one for S-30 I guess it would be fine. Still sub 20km R77 is annoying but workable missile.

[@Spicysauced]

@@vladimirvojtaml I personally agree, but US mains are masters of complaining :)

[@dustind6102]

Just got the Mig-29 SMT, stock grind is going to probably be the most pain ive ever had to endure in this game...

[@Spicysauced]

Yeah I think its the most extensive plane when it comes to unlocks? Everything but one spot is taken in the unlocks screen.

[@YoRHaUnit2Babe]

I love Fox 3s, now thw F14 is busted

[@voidex136]

How I can disable missile seeker? What is keybind named? Thanks ;)

[@Spicysauced]

I don't know what you mean.

[@voidex136]

If I lock wrong target, a friend for example. How to re lock on a new target IR seeking missile?

[@Spicysauced]

@@voidex136 That is not possible .. there is no data connection between your plane and an IR missile. Once it has locked on to anything, it will fly there.

[@voidex136]

@@Spicysauced even if It still on my plane(when I did not fire it)? If I have several weapons I can switch between them to disable IR seeker when it lock on a wrong target. But if I have only 1 type of missiles I don't know what to do

[@Spicysauced]

@@voidex136 Just press the missile activation button again and the seeker gets reset.

[@stepannovak93]

For me i just cant make r77 work i mean they are more of a close range missile but even than they lose lock so often the stat card say it can pull 50g but my expirience was like 25 to 30g at best i dont know about derby and r darter but so far i think r77 is the worst from all of fox 3s added this patch😢

[@TheSuperbadkid]

I don't think the hmd being active when you start is a bug (though highly possible) there is a control called "Switch to HMD indication" and you can turn it on/off whenever you wish.

[@Spicysauced]

I literally say that in the video and even show it.

[@TheSuperbadkid]

​@@Spicysaucedlol I left while the video was playing came back and thought you were saying to press the weapon lock button again. My bad.

[@Spicysauced]

@@TheSuperbadkid No worries :D

[@nickwanrooy6130]

The HMD being on all the time is realistic though (at least on the viper and f15) because you turn on the HMD by turning a brightness knob to on. Wich is not located near you hotas. So you either have it in all the time or off all the time. Not sure if it's accurate on the 29

[@Spicysauced]

Not sure how it is IRL. In DCS you enable it with a button, and you disable it by being in any other mode (BVR, Cannon, ACM, Navigation). Thats the best reference I have.

[@freakmusicaddict]

​@@Spicysaucedthat's only for the FC3 planes with helmet mounted sights. The 29 and 27 don't have a HMD anyway since it does not have an actual display, it is just an illuminated circle basically.

[@LupusAries]

​@freakmusicaddict In the Viper you set Brightness with the knob and the turn it on and off with DMS Down long. Both in Falcon BMS (first implementation) and in DCS.

[@freakmusicaddict]

@@LupusAries the F-16C is not a FC3 plane.

[@JannisW-c6j]

why is your hud so bright? is there a setting or something

[@Spicysauced]

Its just Nvidia filters for contrast.

[@Franseven]

j8f should be 12.7 for sure... unless they make it as it always should have been in my opinion, which is loadout based BR.. if you take fox3s you get high be, if you don't you get low br... they should make it like this asap..

[@Spicysauced]

Doesnt really matter in sim since its facing 13.0s all the time anyway. I tested it, its hard though. 2 Amraams vs 6 or more ... plus being outnumbered all the time on team B. So Id say let it stay where it is for sim. What happens in RB is not my business though :)

[@thatoneguy1741]

Nah the J10 will take that spot hopefully Christmas update

[@Spicysauced]

@@thatoneguy1741 before we got the J11, I was hoping the J10 would come instead of the J11 actually. But yeah, Im very much looking forward to this.

[@flandrescarlet8040]

Why should we play Mig-29 when we got F-16? Mig-29 is a dog shit and i say it as a dude who did born grow in a post Soviet State. F-16 is so badass...that i want the Belgian one. I got chiong chiongs till J-11, but i just don't want to suffer with J-11A.

[@D0gEAtD0g]

Unfortunately it is. They nerfed it for R-27ER sake. Hope it will be powered up again now everyone has a decent radar missile. Or it will be abandoned forever

[@flandrescarlet8040]

@@D0gEAtD0g I don't really think it should be upgraded. Semi-active radar homing missiles are outdated like in real life. What's outdated, is outdated for ever.
