      not entirely true. The MH added Lofting and the P added the DL. Only the Navy used the 7P as they were the only ones who added the datalink required to their planes like the F-18. neither the DL and Lofting would make they compete in any way to an ER.

    @Seek The R27 works with data link, but also in tandem with INS (Inertial Navigation System) in which the missile is capable of making a series of calculations according to the target's last known course, heading, speed and trajectory, and make the adjustments in order to intercept. According to experts, the AIM-7M doesn't have data link, but the upgraded AIM-7P does.

    The 7f was actually such a blessing to get buffed because it brings the F4-J back to fight all of the F5 and the MIG spam at top tier. F4S as well because I have a friend who recently bought it and was pissed at the sheer frustration of losing a lock for half a second and your missile just exploding without any chance to re-lock.

    What i really find useful about this 7f “buff” is that it does not explode instantly. So if you loose lock few seconds before it actually hits target it kinds of follow its path and if enemy does not pay extra attention to it, beside of standard notching, and keep its traverse path aim7f actually hits. Before this update the instant i loose target lock aim7f goes rogue. Maybe it is something bad on my side, it is just observation from perspective of my gameplay.

  • @vinisardagna
    @vinisardagna 8 місяців тому

    The F-15 is definitely the plane with the best flight performance all around. Unfortunately for it, the mediocre radar, no HMD and 2nd best radar missiles means it really lags when it comes to weaponry. The Vulcan is the best cannon right now, but bringing that to a R-73 fight really isn't conducive to your long term health.
    The Su-27s, M4K and Gripens just have a lot more flexibility and freedom when it comes to engagements.

    Honestly I think the aim120s are not going to change the game too much. We already have had the competitors to the Aim-120s in the game, the R-27ER and ET. The Aim-120s are just going to be ETs with RWR. I think it will level the playing field and maybe people won't just fly head on into the death cloud. War Thunder needs a quality of life update desperately but I don't think they will ever do anything, or give us a new game mode.

  • @chrizzyhd5080

    The biggest problem is that the ER accelerates considerably quicker than the Aim-7M, and holds lock better. There are zero positives to using an Aim-7 over the ER. Good balance would actually have two missiles that each have their own positives, more or less like the R-73 / Aim-9M. chrizzyhd

    Su 27 is definitely the best aircraft rn. 7M's just arent competetive against ER's with the massive difference in speed and manouvreabilty. 9M's are on par with the R73 with the smokeless motor but the IRCCM is just worse. The best part of the F15 is the flight model but the Su-27's missiles are just entirely overwhelming.

  • @MarkDrisch
    @MarkDrisch 8 місяців тому

    yepp, orbital strike with 9Ms is absolutely amazing. Did it with the 16C and now do it with the 15A. I still think the 16C is better at it, because it's faster and has 2 more 9Ms, but the 15A is pretty good at it too, and it's probably the best way to play it. The sparrows are an afterthought, and if I could I would swap them for more 9Ms in a heart beat.

    • @lukemiller8282
      @lukemiller8282 8 місяців тому

      If you initially lock with standard SRC/ACM, as in non-PD, you can actually switch between TRK PD and TRK. If you initially lock with SRC/ACM PD, SRC PD HDN or SRC PDV HDN, it will only allow switching between TRK PD and TRK PD HDN modes. I would suggest doing the initial lock with SRC standard then switching ASAP in order to maintain the lock for high altitudes. At low altitudes, they're probably just going to fly 2m off of the ground anyway and explode the missile.

    I charted, for a friend, the "quickest" way to grind to the F-15A. It's ultimately the USAAF line starting with the P-36G *and* the US attacker line starting with the A-36. Because rank VIII requires 5 vehicles from rank VII, the most efficient way to do it looks to be the two F4 Phantom II and then the A-10 and both A-7 aircraft.
    Which is a shame because the USN prop fighters "feel" more attuned to what War Thunder Air RB matches require. That, and both F4 Phantom II's feel wildly non-competitive. The F4E simply doesn't have, even with SARH, all-aspect missiles. The 9J isn't as useful as the 9G. The USAAF line is such a struggle.

    "Best Top Tier Jet" after you get the Aim9Ms. Before that it's pure shitbus. Don't make the same mistake as I did, get the napalm first lads.

    they fixed the aim-7m, it doesn't do crazy stuff any longer and F15 is decent now, yay
