The F-111A's UNIQUE Feature

[@perennialE]

Being a fan of Jaek is like being a fan of flares before missiles were invented

[@APFS-DS]

fun fact: flares on planes date back to ww1, and chaff dates back to ww2, way before IR or SARH missiles existed (obv back then they served different uses)

[@zzz6730]

@@APFS-DS what use?

[@_ace_defective_]

​@@zzz6730Flares: communications (not sure if they were used offensively like lighting up battlefields at night) Chaff: deterring enemy radar sites to prevent them from detecting bomber formations

[@arandomcommenter412]

In what way

[@kylebrady969]

@@_ace_defective_ Do star shells in mortars or big artillery guns (naval guns) count? Cuz if so flares definitely were used in combat

[@rags417]

The MAW system is very topical for me at least. Yesterday was when I first read about the Monica / AL-13 tail warning radar system used by late war British bombers and US prop fighters like the P-51-d and -K. It is basically a gunsight radar aimed backwards, designed to give an audible tone if and when an aircraft was detected close behind the aircraft. There was a concern that the Germans might be able to home on the signal, the designers discounted this but after the war discovered that this is exactly what they had been doing ! TL;DR - More gunsight radars, Oboe, G and Monica / Al-13 for WWII aircraft !

Note regarding the wing sweep on the F-111, IRL the pylons on the outer wings (station 1,2,10,11) could be jettisoned, also mounting something bulky like a MER on the inward most pylons (5, 8) reduces your max back sweep by a few degrees, so if you want max sweep for max speed only use stations 4 & 9.

[@ottermanuk]

There is a bug report open - the outer pylons ARE jettisonable. We'll see if the snail actually patches (bet)

[@jaek_898]

Do you have a link to the bug report?

[@overtoast1105]

On the other hand, the F-111 autodumping flares is awesome looking

It’s over, he uploaded the F-111 video. The Jaek has fallen. Billions must forget to watch the radar video.

The ace combat music you use for your videos seem so naturally fitting that it made me realize how long i've been using the AC music replacement mod for war thunder

Gaijin is doing really good rn. I love what they're doing.

[@TehShinegami]

i mean if it takes only a few vehicles to make the game enjoyable then why nobody enjoys it ?

[@finnm.2582]

The A-10C also has a MAW System IRL.

[@robanson32]

Biggest thing that bums me out about the F-111A is no automated ground following autopilot, a huge feature of the plane IRL and no DIPCM, which is also a huge part of the 111

[@Serkay64]

After the Tornado didnt get it, did it Real surprise you that the F111 didnt get it?

[@robanson32]

@@Serkay64 yeah but the tornado has other tricks- this is the F-111’s thing!

[@Raj-df7wf]

What is the automated ground following autopilot and DIPCM

[@TheByQQ]

​@@robanson32literally like what? 2 9L's? Or the "now I'll make my wings disappear" trick?

[@jakobc.2558]

That's because ground radar isn't in the game on any jet yet. All of the american ground attackers like the A-7s or the A-4s have a radar in the nose but it doesn't do anything right now because those were ground radars and so we don't get them yet. I have been patiently waiting for gaijin to finaly add ground radar to aircraft but they have been sleeping on it forever which is realy frustrating.

[@Rusher_789]

This system is painfully strong I got out sped by an f111 in my j35xs and it managed to flare every one of my aim9js at 0.8km rear aspect without coming off ab once I suspected it wasn't even the player flaring(skill issue somewhat but shows how strong it is if an f111 just chooses to run, you'll need a kfir to catch it)

[@masol3726]

Next time bring unguided rockets and use those to trigger the flares

[@mamarussellthepie3995]

Unique *"FOR NOW"* (basically everything in the us tt will get maws eventually depending on balance lmfao)

[@rammywarrior4033]

"Takes out 4 respawned bases with the 445 rockets and a wounded fighter" Who's the troglodyte now!?! "Ignores the 5 games it took to pull this off"

[@Echos_ofpengu]

Jake you read my mind I was gonna use rockets to trick maw

[@shadowfox1609]

How do ppl not Know that it can be changed? it has an option in the spawn screen it starts at default at 0.10sec to a max of 1.0sec.

[@jaek_898]

That is for periodic countermeasures, not countermeasure MAW slaving. They are seperate.

[@laval_70]

If there's one thing this video told me it's that I need to start bringing dumb rockets when there are f111s on my team

[@mamarussellthepie3995]

This shit better drop with the F15 xd Cough Cough A10

[@zzz6730]

Which other jets in game can get the missile approach warning system?

[@jaek_898]

Mirage 2000D for sure, Mirage 2000-5 and Mirage 2000C were compatible so they should get it as well, Harrier GR7 for sure as well, and then the ones im not 100% sure about are AV8B, F16C, Su-25T/Su-39, and MiG-29SMT, I havent looked into those. Someone who is a knower could probably give you a more accurate list.

[@TheByQQ]

​@@jaek_898ah, perfect. So as soon as Germany gets something in par with other nations they already bring a totally different thing that Germany won't have. Not only will I have less flares but I'll also have to actually pay attention while others can just tunnel vision and let the game do it for them.

[@L963-h9r]

@@jaek_898 Tornado could also theoretically carry the BOZ-EC (GER/IT) or TERMA (GB) pods that includes MAWS, but this was denied in the past

[@v3es473]

​@@jaek_898even the earlier mig-29s had rear-aspect MAW (or at least the ones my country used to have, my father worked on them)

[@sakyuz6080]

Btw m2k D r1 got new cm pod aswell

[@cammarlow3951]

So when is the Harrier Gr7 getting its MAW?

[@jaek_898]

It's anyone's guess, I think it's weird the devs said it would get it eventually but then they add it to the F111 first...

[@Hunt3rr4455]

1:35 Thank You 😈

[@juky_skill_issue]

Mig-29 Smt is still showing 60 countermeasures in the stat card so is it a bug or is it not yet in the game ?

[@jaek_898]

There's a second countermeasure modification

[@shikikanaz4624]

would be fun to wast your enemies countermeasure if they didnt turn if off cause some planes can carry rockets in their outer pylons (like the j8)

[@goliath3413]

Is the rwr for phantoms acurate tho? i got a feeling that they changed that just because it wasn't fair. I couldn't find anything about it

[@jaek_898]

Yes it is, especially for the F-4J of the era we have. Someone showed me the manuals. The F-4S should have an ALR-50 but from what i can tell its pretty much different in name only.
