Radar Missiles at a Stupid Low BR | Vautour IIN War Thunder

[@friendlysnoworb6091]

this is one BR jump away from facing spitfires with radar missiles

[@GeneralLee2000]

Clearly this means it should be lower

[@karolbonner6937]

They should it.(for the funny of course)

[@trolski1618]

They’ve changed the engines on it like a day ago, if it’s stabilator will get corrected it might become actually fun at 8.3

[@GeneralLee2000]

I really hope they do

[@_lliu3oqppehu9l_83]

What about engines?

[@thatreddot6005]

@@_lliu3oqppehu9l_83 bit more power, nothing too special. Main problem is still no all flying tail modeled, but then it wouldn't be 8.3 anymore, or shouldn't be

[@jaek_898]

Animal fact: they say 12g on the statcard, but they can actually pull as much as 15g

[@jaek_898]

@@Curienge Not true. Two plane maneuverability is a completely different thing. The statcard max G is for max lateral acceleration (which is correct on most statcards) but because the statcard max G is a different variable from the actual max G they can be different in rare cases.

I love mid-tier tech, it was such an era of experimentation and just plane goofy stuff. Beam riding missiles ftw !

[@theuniversaleclipse2305]

I like how he turned away from the ME-163 B so quickly. 🤣

[@rayhill1]

Just spaded it, It's honestly quite fun. AA-20s are fun to guide, and the radar missiles work like 10% of the time but you are faster than pretty much anything at your br. Uptiers are brutal, however.

[@rohartmartin8329]

When I played that thing and wanted to spade it I think it was one of the most stupid idea I had, but god oh god... getting kills with that thing against cocky players that think you are just a bomber is... *chef kiss* just perfect. Haven't tried to play it again since BR changes tho.

[@satnav9699]

Ok figured out how to use the radar guided missiles, have the radar on 8 or 20 km, be at a side angle to target at about 3-5km to shoot. Attacking from front or back and missiles get notched really easily. Also always attack from below as the radar is quite weak to ground coverage.

[@AeroTurtle]

I didn't even know this thing existed until this video. Awesome content keep it up!!

[@GeneralLee2000]

Appreciate you Turtle!

[@Andstronaut]

Next is Aim-9L at 6.7

[@Joey_Liu]

I know it’s been like 10 months but I just got this jet and I managed to get a full downtier in this thing and face 3 b29s flying in formation! Glory when you get those games and yeah it is a very unique jet that plays very differently. Nice change of pace around. Loving the French grind so far!

[@just-someone-random]

Bro I managed to spade it in one day, today, around 7 hrs no joke, u wont belive what kind of kills u can pull in this thing even with aa20s...and trust me i am so bad with them...however in this thing i managed to have 5 kills game, 3 kills in like 1 min and some insane kills vs f104, belive it or not i was usualy at the top of the scoreboard somehow even tho i was on bottom with mig15 or 21..this is actualy first plane that I didnt mind spading...am i sick or what?

[@jonathanfarrell14]

I found it rlly fun to the point of actually giving it a talisman and using it to grind

[@AverageWTPilot]

Make a montage of all of your kills with these missiles, I will watch every second of it.

[@GeneralLee2000]

Might make a short of it

[@saddamhussein5462]

Getting a kill with the AA-20s is so satisfying

[@astartesfanboy5294]

nahh bros got the ace combat missiles with how poorly they maneuver lmao

[@cldus7442]

like a year ago these were spammed NONSTOP. Every match would have 4 in orbit above us within 5 minutes

[@warm_egg_salad5953]

Im sad that this got moved to 8.3 but the second Me-163 is still at 8.7

Look really interresting. Good Video 👍

[@GMan33195]

I got an ace in this thing once before the BR got lowered. I need to take this thing back out now its even lower BR lol

[@swag_jay-_-2743]

This thing should be 8.7 at least...

[@GeneralLee2000]

Down to 8.0 it is! ))))))

[@satnav9699]

I have had probably more downtiers then uptiers, have half spaded currently, several 5 kill games too. Just unlocked the radar guide missiles see how they compare to nords which i was just using to joust.

[@GeneralLee2000]

Maaan must be nice. Enjoy those missiles!

[@satnav9699]

@@GeneralLee2000 what would you say are the best radar setttings to reliable get a lock at 3-8km, im only getting locks at 3km or less which is too late as the missile cant pull.

[@wildfire4887]

fun fact, the vautour still pulls like shite 2 years later

[@brettleisy356]

the LA-200 will still outrun everything on the map where 8.3 is the top end. but these missiles can really level the playing field vs most others. one thing not mentioned is these are ALL ASPECT missiles. first time I ran into them (literally in 2 ways) was in a slower merge. I was in a gradual climb and saw the missile, not enough speed for a roll out by the time I registered the missile was coming at me. that's another thing, using these missiles, if you get someone slowed down, either climbing out of a fight or in a dogfight or about 2km head on and bank off. these are golden, just having missiles and locks are one thing, knowing when your foe will not likely be able to avoid is when you use them. I've come to the saying "if it's nose up, it blows up"

[@GeneralLee2000]

That's true, the La-200 is extremely quick. I love that little saying as well 🤣

[@skolaskellofkells6195]

Its nothing special that theyre all aspect, every radar missile in the game is all aspect

[@brettleisy356]

@@skolaskellofkells6195 the "special" part is that the French get their first SARH at 8.3 next closest is either 9.3 or 9.7 for any other country. and there are only 2 others that have any sort of missiles at 8.3 and even for those the missiles re "meh" at best. its like having 4 free kills mounted to the plane.

[@DadangTriarsaPutra-yx8jw]

any tips on aiming air to air nords (G. 91 R1), I'm only accurate in headons and even then it works about 3/4 times

[@Xeemix]

keep the flare in front of the nose of whatever you're shooting at as it flies, you can reliably hit planes broadside at 2-4 miles out.

what do you think about Javelin F.(A.W.) Mk.9 at 8.3 with 4 firestreak missiles?

[@GeneralLee2000]

Good accel and climb but mediocre performance, having the 4 missiles at 8.3 is pretty amusing.

[@lordwintertown8284]

G'day, It's strange that it became 8.3 and even more daft that the rest are still 9.0 uuuhuuhuhuhuhuuuh (sideshow bob noises), Still R.511 wise it's odd that you research those things in the Mirage III yet get the R.530 stock???

[@iiKiboshii-c3z]

I'm more amazed that you're able to lock targets with the ground behind them, or targets below you, consistently. If there isn't 100% clear sky behind the target, and if they are not showing their widest aspect, then I'm not locking anything.

[@alexturnbackthearmy1907]

Cheaper then rest of baguette carriers.

[@RedTail1-1]

Just like the Rank V Isreali bomber that gets 4 IR missiles... It's a bomber.. It can't even maneuver to fire rockets at ground targets, you aint hittin a fighter with an IR missile from a bomber.
