You can change loft to norm using cage/uncage button!

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@Cesko_Plny_Fialovejch_Zmrdu]

Thank you for these tutorials. Really apprecieate that, its exactly what i was looking for. No bullshit, just pure education, thanks again

[@jacobsmith4453]

Nice, I’ve just bought the harrier and your tutorials are helping a lot thx

[@iang265]

I now know how to use this weapon, thank you. I can only hope that one day the weapon learns to hit a target once in a while!

[@lordfarquaadgaming9316]

I personally don’t have issues with accuracy

[@iain8837]

Good job, straight to the point.

[@Laerei]

Ach, I needed this. I did all of the F/A-18C tutorials and yet they were inadequate to properly teach me AIM-7. Been having a headache with the final campaign mission that comes with the Hornet because I couldn't figure out the range when to shoot the missiles.

[@cmibm6022]

Very useful indeed! Thanks.

[@therealsilens]

Love me some Hornet love! Regarding Sparrows, I know they aren't "meta" like the SPAMRAAM-120C, but an interesting weapon still! I've been making a point to use them more in my flying. I wonder what sort of scenario would make the AIM-7MH a better choice than a AIM-120C. When in a furball with friendlies mixed about I'll use them for the simple reason I can "cancel" the shot if need be.

[@hartzaden]

the aim-7MH is a better missile when you need to bounce bombers as compared to the AMRAAM it packs substantaly more boom, so it can be the differance of 2 120s to kill a bomber or a single aim-7

[@florianmisof1988]

I like how you cut off the "hope that was useful, see you lat...", Not a single second of video length wasted for ads.

[@bandit1797]

What’s up with all the revisions on the hornet cap? Did it get a major update or What?

[@grimreapers]

Neg. The old vids were terrible, so replacing them all with decent ones.

[@bandit1797]

Grim Reapers ahh ok

[@HotelHandyMan]

thanks! for all the videos thanks!

[@DoomOfConviction]

Your helpfull as always! :)

[@officerk72]

Yes, maybe

[@f-84jthunderjet60]

Thanks

[@TomTheTruckdriver]

Thanks!

[@kevykevTPA]

What was that tool you used to modify your layout??

[@zombi1034]

It’s not a tool but can be accessed via a hotkey. Check the controls I think it’s called rearming and refueling window

FLOOD mode flipped my understanding of how the sparrow works. So how does a sparrow find its target in flood mode anyway?

[@AB-yn2rz]

I think the radar basically illuminates a portion of the sky and the launched missile just guides itself to any reflection close by. Can be useful in dogfights.

[@auqanova]

the seeker in the sparrow sees the reflection of radar signals in its fov, and chases after the brightest thing. in stt you have a very narrow cone of radar, so it effectively always hits what you want. in flood mode though it still looks for the brightest thing, but now in a much wider area, which means if something else has a bigger radar cross section it will normally go for that. on that note i imagine the sparrow is probably more susceptible to chaff than an amraam, and even more susceptible in flood mode, though thats baseless conjecture on my part

[@cellokid5104]

Is HoJ a thing yet?

[@tonymash]

Theres a "weapons qualification" mission that specifically mentions it for the F18, but I cant find where anyone has provided any guidance on how to do it

[@VictorOffermann]

Why would I use aim 7 missiles when I could just use amraams?

[@GotSpaceGame]

Historical scenarios, mission makers imposing supply/ammo restrictions, you like a challenge, or you want to get ready for the Phantom coming out in Two Weeks!

[@robertcras8151]

You have these missions where the planes just fly by (don't shoot) and you can go through the steps.... Can we download such a mission anywhere?

[@matthewpollard8570]

this is super easy to recreate in the msn editor

[@erfguuipo8084]

why use this when u have aim 120?

[@lohrtom]

The Sparrow was a terrible missile. The ship launched version was officially named Sea Sparrow. We called it Sea Chicken. The Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile is actually quite good. How about a 4 on 4 using only the oldest version of the Sparrow. No guns and no Sidewinders. Sort of a Vietnam era fur ball.

[@DudemeisterNL]

The AIM-7M variant was a good missile, F15's and F16's scored a fairly high amount of kills with the AIM-7 during the first Gulf war

[@pontiacGXPfan]

This missile is an antique now

[@allanbel6269]

pontiacGXPfan yeah but it s still good to know them for servers without fox3

[@slow9573]

Important information for cold war era restriction.
