    A friend in the comments section named Arthur said IRST lock on can be distracted by "flares" and that's correct, check 9:49 .. if you pay attention you will see that I lost the lock on that Ka-50 not because of the trees but because of the flares, I didn't know that while making the video. I always carry mixed countermeasures while flying in Ground RB and now I have an additional reason to keep doing that. Thanks Arthur :)

      @@Xaymous As far as I know ADATS has no IRST (I don't know why it is written IRST in X-Ray), it has one lock on mode and it is optical. Your saying means optical is not affected by flares nor chaff making it the most powerful lock on mode.

      It's really not fair. Even if the pilot destroys SAM 4 times in a row, 4 SAM respawns will still cost less SP than the pilot will spend on 1 plane. SAM doesn't even need to shoot down a plane. It's enough just to keep respawning.

    a couple notes/additions. IRST can be fooled by flares now, that used to not be the case but no longer. While IRST is generally superior it can be easily blocked by leaves/clouds or other visual stuff. For gun aa, IRST is also less accurate than a radar lock. Last thing I want to say is that the first thing you should do when playing top tier spaa is increase your radar scope range, this can be done using the y menu and pressing y - 1 - 8. This will make it so you can see aircraft the instant they spawn in preventing them from climbing over your radar without you even knowing they exist.

    VERY good video Hunter! Love that someone finally pointed out sitting in spawn is predictable! I would add two things to the SAM tactics though. Lead your missiles 1/3 - 1/4 the aircraft's length in front of their nose. This compensates for fast jets and fast missiles like the VT1. You were already doing this in the video quite well. Also displace after you get a kill if you can. Especially if there are multiple aircraft up. Changing you position prevents anyone who saw your launch from knowing where you are.

    • @Hunter_i86

      I wrote a correction about IRST lock in the pinned comment, it is actually can be disrupted by "flares" as shown in 9:49, I didn't know that while making the video and wasn't paying attention.

    It is fair. Open your eyes and pay attention while playing. Fly low or extremely high to avoid being picked up at long range. Countermeasure are not supposed to be magic lock breakers. Do not depend solely on them to protect you.

    This just reminds me how "unfun" the top tier is. To be fair, it is totally okay to be sweaty on top tier because you are just playing the game mechanics well, but most players playing top tier are at least somewhat decent at the game and top tier is psychological warfare of both sides trying to figure out what the other side is thinking. I mean it is challenging to play and when you do well, you do feel a greater sense of accomplishment, but man it is so exhaustive. I always go back and play ww2 or early cold war brs where people don't have fast reaction time and are punished for their mistakes. What do you think hunter? I admire your determination of playing top tier for getting video footage, do you ever get those moments when you just don't want to click the match button after a game?

    • @Hunter_i86
      @Hunter_i86  3 роки тому +8

      This is actually a very accurate comment, top tier is about everything but aim .. you must pay attention to everything before making a decision, starting from kill-feed, mini map, chat, RWR, radars, laser warning systems and use all these factors to interpret what's going on, the reasons I play top tier mostly because I like modern vehicles in general more than WWII ones, I like exploring the complicated mechanics in top tier WT vehicles and try to use them methodically and smoothly to live an experience near to real life combat, it is very satisfying to launch a Hellfire from behind a mountain and seeing it destroys a 5km target without you being detected, it is very satisfying to me when I get a tanks battle in a very big map and use all the MBT capabilities starting from the powerful engine, high zoom optics, laser rangefinder and see the shell fly for some moments before reaching to its target. I prefer playing tanks 15 mins ends with a defeat in European Province "Battle" mode than having 100 victories in a childish map like Karelia! Also I stopped getting toxic or angry in WT since a long time .. I mean after around 10k hours in the game there is nothing can really trigger me or something, and after I started the channel I began to realize that many many players in WT are very friendly and wholesome the thing that changed my opinion about this community positively. Gaijin also focusing on modern vehicles .. so there is nothing really new in the WWII era. An additional reason to make top tier videos is because few channels focusing on it, so I hope these videos make people see the bright side of WT top tier combined battles because the majority say or think it is really bad.

    If he's upset about not having CMs vs ground AA missiles just wait till he realizes they only work against 2% of them (IR seekers only) since the vast majority, at present, are optical guidance and radar/IRST on them is just an early warning/vector system. So long as they don't bother to try and lock onto a target and manually guide you can flare/chaff all day for absolutely no effect at all. Smart AA uses radar to get a vector, switch radar off, and fire with no lock. You either spot the launch trail or you die in a sudden fit of WTF. Helicopter pilots with MAW get some kind of warning at least against AA that is radar off. Fun fact for the not-so-far future. Get USED to operating with your radar used sparingly. When, not if, they implement active radar seeking AGMs if you haven't learned to use radar wisely you will get WTFBBQd in kind from some fairly extreme ranges. The AGM-45 Shrike (and its counterparts in other nations) should technically already be available given the top-tier aircraft at present (F-105/F-4). They've been absent for obvious reasons, but that is unlikely to remain the case with the advent of even more modern aircraft. For giggles, the Shrike is 25KM range with a 50sec flight window to cover that. If they implement them like they were used, you can expect pilots to launch them from 20km out ahead of them and fly at an obvious altitude fishing for someone daft enough to take the bait. Then again, we can all have a laugh at the likely fact that Gaijin will also likely overlook doing something about friendly fire from them as well for a while. So there's that to look forward to.

    • @auqanova
      @auqanova 2 роки тому +1

      I mean, most anti radar missiles never do anything about friendly fire until their layer variants. You fire a sidearm and it tracks whatever it sees, not even telling you what it saw in the first place.
      Plus irl even when you do have more advanced arms, there's still nothing to tell the difference between which tunguska is friendly and which is hostile, which isn't much a problem irl, but in war thunder there are going to be like 3 aa at top tier and split across all the factions that aren't always on the same team

    On the Tunguska you can even turn your radar off since the tracking radar and search are different. just make sure you’re in IRST mode for the stealth lock.
    it’s cheeky, and requires more vigilance to see the planes without radar.
    I also don’t know if it actually does anything since I’m unsure if switching to IRST disables the passive warning (when radar sees you but isn’t locked) or just the lock sound. If it’s 100% undetected then no need to do this.

    • @Hunter_i86

    • @Hunter_i86
      @Hunter_i86  3 роки тому +3

      You are welcome my friend, the most important tip is DO NOT fire early, you have very bad range and slow avoidable rounds .. wait for the enemy jet to be in the middle of his dive and start firing at 2km distance. At 8.0BR 90% of aircrafts have to be in your range to drop their bombs or firing their rockets. Firing early will warn the pilot and will make him turn away and start searching for you .. the first location the pilot will look at is the spawn, so positioning your vehicle 500 meters away from base is very recommended as well.

    Hello, 9 months after and here i am enjoying xm975, one thing i have realized is altough i am using irst mode, when i launch a missile targeting ka-50s, they start popping flares, is this because my missile is guided via a laser and the ka-50 recognizes that? If i target them last second, they are not popping flares until i point over them.

    • @Hunter_i86
      @Hunter_i86  2 роки тому +1

      Hello there, some modern choppers have MAW (Missile Approach Warning), the countermeasures are slaved to MAW by default, so any missile approaches the chopper it will automatically start launching flares\chaff, even if it was a normal ATGM launched by a BMP-2 or Marder for example.

      Pretty much every top-tier SAM. Go into x-ray view and look at the tracking radar, if it says IRST then you can switch to IR tracking mode using key-binds or the multi-function menu. The search radar will keep searching as before, which also means it will keep notifying the enemy's RWR.
