Thanks, Tim!
The fact you still don't have an in game decal is criminal. You are my go-to for anything in air WT.
I paint my planes blue for him :)
wake up guys, new tim's variety just dropped
thanks for the reminder
God I feel so bad for Tim. The Sisyphean task of making guides only for Gaijin to change everything is real. You deserve much love for your hard work!
Now time for gaijin to fundamentally change radars again
Next Tuesday, at the latest.
@@TimsVariety Your radar videos are the harbinger for change.
Gaijin: Added : K-band for fixed wing, Radar jammers, AESA radar, Anti-radiation missiles, etc.
Just got the F-4E and this video saved me from thinking the Aim-7Es are useless
Great video. I struggled so much with the F4E but once I understood that ground clutter plays such a massive role with that radar I was much less frustrated. I load 10 1000lb bombs, 4 sparrows, 4 aim 9, and the center line fuel tank and am doing pretty well with it
AIM-7Es aren’t what they used to be. What you want is the AIM-7E2. It’s the exact same missile. But it starts pulling right away. So it’s more reliable and it’s actually usable in headons
I am one of few who is proud to say that the F4E in my opinion is the best Phantom in the entire US tree including his premium brother F4S. Why? Better ground pound weapons, carries more of each weapon type than F4S and most importantly.. GUNPODS baby. It doesn't have to waste the spot for the fun having the internal but man when you slap 3x more Vulcans on you it becomes bowling with bullets and never gets old. Enjoy and the cherry on top is it carries the 6x ATGMs and you still can rock the pods.
@@crazygone5107 the f4s is actually a version of the f4j and not the f4e
@@crazygone5107 like yeah I agree. But AIM-7Fs and PD Radar+HMD on the F4J is nice to use. But the F4E will always have a special place for me because it was my first top tier jet. Back when it was that and the MiG-21. And I used it to finish the entire us tech tree
When Tim's Variety says I'm gonna show you everything he means EVERYTHING this is why his channel is the best for information with great explinations on what you need to know.👍 this man puts a lot of work into these videos giving this info to all of us.
Thanks for the great guide. I especially appreciate the screenshots of the precise name of the control as it appears in game, so I can search it in settings and find out exactly which button I have bound - there are a lot of keybinds in this game and it gets confusing fast.
Gaijin should really put all of this information on the wiki for each plane or each radar, and even if they won't bother to do an in-depth explanation of the feature, they could at least tell us exactly which radars have which features, because so much of the information isn't even shown on the stat card. Yes, knowing your aircraft through experience in game is important, but that doesn't mean that there should be secret information that's just not displayed anywhere by Gaijin
Thats something I think a lot of folks may not fully realize ... because of the lack of information from the snail about a lot of these topics, I had to rely on my own general knowledge of radar and an ENORMOUS amount of trial-and-error reverse engineering to confirm or discover how some of these things are implemented in the game. My "big 3" guides take an absolutely enormous amount of IRL time to prepare, this was about 2 weeks worth of work for at least a few hours per day.
But I gotta deliver for my viewers. 💪
20:15 you can also alternatively just press your LOCK RADAR/IRST TARGET keybind when radar is off while looking at a target to quick boot the HMS mode on.
That is if your Plane has an HMS, if it doesn't it will try to quick boot into ACM mode.
Damn, this is more complicated that some radars in DCS. Thanks for the guide.
needed this cuz I just got a f15 🙏
Did you buy an account or something?... Should have been using radar long before unlocking the F-15
@@RedTail1-1lmao. F4C F4E F104s F16s F8s. Even if he bought the F4S that’s main weapon is radar guided missiles
@@RedTail1-1 F4J radar stuff is wayyyyy simpler and has less modes
Very comprehensive, as someone with to many hours in WT - I even learned a bunch.
Thanks for another amazing, comprehensive guide. Hopefully this one doesn't go out of date within a week like the others...
Thank you so much!
Was left wondering with RAM for quite a while, thanks for the guide
When I think about it, I've learnt so much from you over the last few years that I not just want to thank you, but also buy you a drink.
Cheers mate o7
Thank you so much!
Your original radar and missile guide videos years ago helped me so very much when I was getting into higher tier aircraft, I will always try and encourage people to watch your guides (and content!) when I can, incredible stuff and thank you for what you do!
I live to serve. o7
I've bought myself the F4S for grinding the US tech tree and i've had troubles with the radar, it basically worked half the time and i've already changed some controls before watching this video, now i understand that i didn't change enough radar controls because there are more useful radar modes for each situation i get in. Thank you very much this should be labeled public service, i can't wait to try it all out
I live to serve.
Here before Gaijin changes the RADAR again.
Wow, a good, complete and comprehensive guide that took a ton of effort to make that taught me stuff despite having been using radar for three years.
Can't wait for Gaijin to make it obsolete again next update
0:50 Thank you very much, whenever I play top tier I have your old guide open in case I have any questions and it helps a lot that you have the video segmented with all the radars to solve the doubt about a specific radar quickly. Now I will have this video open in a Google tab as the most updated.
I'm keenly aware that a lot of folks use my larger guides as more of a reference book than a novel ;-)
Ive spaded the gripen A and C, now im working through the F4 family and i still learned something new. 10/10 video
stopped playing a couple months back bit your tutorials are so damn good I still watch them
I was watching the old version and then this dropped
Big time W for Tim! Thanks for your hardwork and dedication to helping the community!
I have watched every single one of the guides for radar lol. Thank you Tim
Another amazing video, thanks again for all your hard work on this, Tim.
I have a buddy i ⛈️ with who just got his first SARH equipped jet. This makes my job of helping him learn radar combat so much easier. Thanks Tim!
The best video on radars I have seen, very complete and easy to understand. Thank you for your effort and greetings from Venezuela
Thank you for all the work you do to bring this information to us in a comprehensible, digestible video!
Great work man I needed this! Awesome as always!
Oh yes new radar guide !
I was waiting for this updated guide for so long, I'm so glad it's out now !
Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos. I have been playing WT since before tanks where added, and I didn't know you could manually point the radar up down, and side to side 😂 This changes EVERYTHING. Thank you so much, cheers!
I came to this video because I admire your work, since I am a war thunder veteran and thought I would know all these features already. Bud goddamn I was wrong!
I learned at least 3 new things I didnt even know were in the game. Thank you very much and keep up the good work mate.
Thanks Tim! I’ve been playing for years and I learned a few things. Very in depth and helpful!
Amazing video!! Really well visualized and thought out. I even got some new info even after playing the game for years! GGs
Finally! Good job my man! Thanks a lot for this.
Hi Tim, thanks for the new guide and all the work you've put in o7
Thank you for this! Been waiting for this one.
W Tim rizz (I am infecting the comments with brainrot)
Keep up the great content tim!
I absolutely adore your content! Ever since I found your channel, you have been my go-to for extra war thunder knowledge. Hope to see many more of your videos over the next years!
Thank you so much!
in before more changes to radar mechanics.
Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication!
Very helpful and well done video. Thanks Tim
Youre great Tim, the best at this!
Comment for the algorithm. Thanks for the hard work you put into this guide!
great video, lots of handy information!
Nice! More studying to do!
if only i had the motivation to put this much effort into studying in school
Just in time for me to get back into top tier jet RB thanks Tim
In tims variety we trust
I'm taking in the information, I swear!
...but I'm mainly rocking out to Waltz of the Tornado every time I catch it
Excellent video, even for ground players :)
Love it!
let goo the new radar guide thank you for this
Thanks for the Tuto! +1 follower from Brazil
Wow I knew radar was pretty complicated but I didn’t realise it had this much functionality. Makes me glad I’m still flying props and very early jets
Bro is so great, he even heart all comments
Awesome content.
awesome video. Still waiting For Italian Tornado to be modeled correctly. Correct ground Radar, anti ship missiles, anti radar missiles etc. Its so funny that only plane with Ground radar is a MiG-21
Awesome video, was fragging fools with 120s while listening.
I just want a EC game mode like sim but with RB settings.
Gaijin, can we please get a decal for Tim, in my opinion his content is the most educational the WT community gets
Man a lot of the war Thunder community be straight up illiterate. For real get Tim his decal
I love the f6f-5n radar, in ground rb and sim it is pretty nice
Can’t wait to see you on Tim’s radar guide Vol. 4 when Gaijin inevitably renders this guide obsolete by the end of the year!
End of the year?
End of the month.
How much do we wanna bet next patch we get the first aircraft with an AESA radar making this video once again....immediately obselete. 😭
dude...just thx man...that helps a lot.
You are actually a hero thank you so much ❤
I live to serve. o7
Really doesn't feel like it's been a year since the last radar guide... we're always joking you'll have to update 2 hours after the updated guide goes up lol
man, this guide was usefull, i can now use the radars properly and be better at the game
This is... insanely useful.
I live to serve. o7
Another great guide
Thank you so much!!! VIP subscriber, right here!
lets goooooooooo new video from tim
Straight legend
I appreciate these guides so much people like you need like a trophy or statue or something for your service I’m a console player and I’m trying to learn more too tier radar I’ve had an ok understanding but this really helps especially with me playing as sufferable France lmao thank you for the video and the time stamps
I live to serve. o7
@@TimsVariety I deeply appreciate it I changed some settings last night I play on Xbox and had to find spots for my ARb settings but I’m doing better now
Thank you for this, new stuff is confusing
10/10 would buy Tim's decal in game
Tell the snail (no, seriously).
Under their current criteria, I'd need to more than double the number of views my regular saturday vehicle reviews get before I could even apply.
@TimsVariety That's a complete sin, the players that really want to learn come to your channel. You're the only creator that I know of that gives both gameplay and history in the same content
Wow this Guide Helps me alot! You earn my Sub! hope you will feature Artillery and how to use it!
Nice profile pic King
thats what i needed :)
Tim's variety "Finally, that's the new radar guide finished...". The snail...CHANGE ALL THE RADARS , NOW!!!!
Hey Tim can you make a detailed review about the Kfir Canard? I love you vids and like watching them a lot! A guide/review about the Pantsir S1 would also be nice
Thanks a lot.
Shit I slept so well, It's better than any ASMR or uni class. Just joking I'll review it later🥱
You know ... I've seen several comments from ppl saying they put my playlists on as ambient sound to fall asleep too 😅 I take it as a compliment that I'm relaxing :-)
NEW VID NEW VID NEW VID ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
amazing
There’s so much to it. It’s so hard to program this on a consult controller.
LETS GOOOOO NEW RADAR!!!!
Than you so much
Its a Worthy mention, that the MiG23s MTI activation currently differs from map to map. On some maps you can have it active above 2km and just look towards the horizon to basicly have a pre-patch MTI; on other maps you are restricted to 1.8 - 2km altitude while having to look almost directly at the ground.
Having to do with Mountains and hills not being seen by the radar as "ground" as far i noticed.
PDV is the bane of my existence. It made an otherwise fun challenge of spading the phantom FGR into an annoying frustration every time I went into BVR. it’s so irritating trying to read that scope and get useful positions, especially because of how squished everything can get in the near segment of the display.
dude you gotta review the F6F-5N. it's a super unique plane
I know, I'll get to it eventually :-)
Hopefully they don't completely change mechanics right after you drop this again!
Hey Tim, it's been 24 hours since your last radar guide, when is the updated version coming out?
Doppler doesn't just use the time for a ping to return (as normal radar does), it actually uses the shift in frequency between the signal transmitted by the radar and the return-signal
Hence "oversimplified" so I didn't go off into a 20 minute tangent about it.
The first draft was ... longer ....
Great update to a great video. Heads up, your bookmark at 24:00 says Multimode Madar instead of Multimode Radar
I fixed the typo a while ago, but for whatever reason YT isn't actually updating it.
@@TimsVariety o7
I would love a sim specific guide, just because how you approach radar usage can be so different.
If I ever get a control setup that works well for SIM, I'll probably post more SIM-centric content, but for now I'm stuck in RB (and sometimes AB for lower tier stuff).
Can't wait for Gaijin to shadow drop a massive radar rework next week and instantly make this guide obsolete.
They're REALLY good at that.
Is there any way to tell is a search radar contact is above or below you on the radar B-Scope? Does the length of the like that indicates a radar contact mean anything?
More advanced than at least some of DCS radars (I'm looking at you Mig-21 bis).
Irst can be used to transfer lock to radar. It works as acm radar lovk sort of
You can actually lock with irst top down on mig 23 and then switch to radar SRC effectively giving top down lock. It will keep being locked until it disappears in ground clutter or chaff
Ofc mti makes it easier but it us alt limited
