2:20 Yes, the RB 99 is the same exact thing as the AIM-120B. In game the AIM-120A and AIM-120B are identical as well (the 120A's visual model literally even says "AIM-120B" on it). IRL there were differences between the AIM-120A and B. The 120B added better lofting capabilities and basically redesigned the internal components to be easier to work with than the 120A. The end result of the 120B was basically an easier to work with missile that has the same flight characteristics besides the lofting. In game they are identical, meaning AIM-120A = AIM-120B = RB 99
1:26 funny (annoying) thing is that the 122A and the 122B+ CITV and hatch cover are in the same spot yet the 122a’s CITV camera placement is placed higher than the 122B+ lmao
@@user-mc9cv9zw3x For real man, it wouldn’t take the devs that long to just move the 122B+’s CITV camera placement up a couple millimeters to match the 122A’s CITV camera placement.
13:09 Currently in game, the maximum you can hit a target with any AGM is 20km (even the Kh-38MT/L). This is because the range of every TGP in War Thunder is capped at 20km.
13:20 you can get a point lock with maverics at 20KM. This does not track any moving targets so you pretty much have to hope that you get a direct hit but it can be done. I just got the achievement this week for getting a kill with a guided bomb from 20km+ distance by locking a point near the enemy spawn and just throwing an AGM62-A Walleye I and hoping for the best. It was super satisfying to get the kill at that kinda distance.
13:18 I have gotten 16-18km kills with Mavericks before on 3x Pantsirs, but it takes like 1 to 1.5 minutes for them to get there and you have to hope they don't move or aware enough to intercept them. I've tossed them at 5-6 high and 18km away while going 1.2-1.3 mach and it was the D variant on F-16C with IR seeker, not the TV ones. Note that it will not reach if you're below mach and game won't allow to toss them while going above 1.4 mach, you need to be in between.
cant wait for newer gripen and get more hardpoints, i usually take 3 agm65g and 1 aim120b/rb99 just to have that capability to defend against another aircraft at distance. gripen PELE round in that cannon is so good when it pens.
03:20 while gaijin may have nerfed the engine and top speed... but man hitting above 72km/h will automatically disable the stabilizer of the CV90120 back in the days. Now with the max speed of 70km/h, the gun is always stable, you can actually shoot while scooting.
I remember lobbing AGM-65Ds over 15+ km range, it will not track the vehicle at that range but if they stay stationary missile will eventually close the gap and acquire them, clapping their cheeks in the process.
@@thatonelocalauthority2809 nobody is complaining lol, hes just confirming that the aim120 and the rb99 is identical in referance to what was said in the video
@@thatonelocalauthority2809You've just completely misunderstood that. He's saying that if there is any difference there shouldn't be there, since they are irl identical
I swear every single dart I shoot at an Strv 122 doesn't spall. and when it DOES spall it only takes out the loader and commander *SOMEHOW* even my Sweden main friend who knows the 122s like the back of his hand cannot consistently one shot the thing...
These things are absolutely ridiculous. One time I fired 15 darts from a 2S38 into the side of one from about 20m away, shooting absolutely all over the hull (I simply couldn't work out how it was still alive after the 7/8th round) and it simply turned its turret and killed me in one hit. Another time, I (Ka-50) and a teammate (Z-11W) fired no less than 13 ATGMs (Vikhrs, HJ-8A) at one, from multiple sides and the freaking match ended before we were able to kill him.
@@tomfahey2823 I suppose that's because of the spall liners in the turret and hull for all the strv 122s - they are especially good against lower calibre shells. For what happened with the helicopters it could have been the strv 122b+ with extra armour against chemical munitions - making them far less effective. Nevertheless, I completely agree with what you've said - I can almost never do as well in my Challenger 2s as I do in the strv 122s
I would argue the PLSS is as good if not better simply for the commanders periscope, the armor on the + is nice sometimes but you can do a lot with that periscope if you get into a good spot and people arent immediately looking for a little set of eyes popping up and down.
In my humble experience Mavs seem to work best at most 9-10 clicks, locks targets reliably, damages often, the whole shebang. The issue sits at them being often taken down by Pantsirs. My PEAK loadout with the Gripper and Harrier is the 2 9Ms, 2 AIM-120s, and 2 Mavs. The awesome twist is that I use the Mavs almost exclusively to take down helis and SPAA (often the Pantsir). Its pretty funny to me that the best Anti Air Italy gets is literally just aircraft, a combo between the Mangusta with Spikes and the Gripen or Harrier with their toys. I end most games with 5-8 air kills because of the Ka-50s rushing at the start of the match, Ka-52s being over-confident, and the occasional overzealous MiG-29 or SU-25. I just wish Gaijin rewarded plane kills as much as they reward tank kills in ground battles, if not more.
Hey Justin, I kept asking you to play the VMF5 and the Buccaneer S.2 with the RP-3s! However, I guess Gaijin nerfed the dispersion on the RP-3s, they're borderline unusable now, which is a bit of a shame. So could we see some Harrier CAS with the Challenger Mk.2 and the AIM-9G? You get a fast reload at the helicopter airbases since you can hover, meaning you can be dropping 5 tons of bombs every minute and a half!
My favorite thing about the Commander sight obstruction is how stupid it is.... it's literally REMOVED in active duty, it's detachable and is only to be used in transit, you'll never see one in an active combat zone with that tarp attached....
I have gotten kills on pantsirs from 18km with my f16c. Takes about 4 missiles to get them but I have done it. I usually sling the 4 mavericks 1 after the other about 1-2 seconds apart and usually 1 of them will reach the pantsir
The Swedish JAS39C can get a LOT better in terms of air-to-air combat. The JAS39C can carry both the IRIS-T (called the RB 98) and the MBDA Meteor (called RB 101). Both of those missiles are insane irl.
you asked if the grippen can get better and i can if they dicides to add the grippen E which has more hardpoints, better engine, better radar, iris t, and some other things
What are your thoughts on doing a new series on the derp vehicles of 6.3-8.0 in all the nations? Like for example each video can focus on one nation and all the derp vehicles of mid-tier.
Hungarian Jas 39C must be same as Sweden Jas 39C, because Hungary leased its 14 Gripens from Sweden Air Force, same with Czech Rep. Gripen also leased from Sw. Air Force.
I just unlocked this thing and I’m nervous 😂 I did the entire rank 8 tree but still play 10.7 And to quote you yes they are AIM 120’s and your RB 74 are AIM 9M. 2k hours in ARB & sim but hardly any time in GRB 😂
I need to get back on the discord server, one of these days. After I'm done with school completely (this December) I should be able to. Maybe earlier, depending on classwork load (will be taking a Data Warehouse class).
My farthest kill was with the Wyvern and carpet Bombed the Vietnam spawn at 36k ft and got 4 kills and I killed a t-34-100 (respect to the person) and managed to wipe out their anti air… I like carpet bombing and not using agms and gbus… not fun and imo there’s no skill… bringing props and low tier vehicles to top tier is a dopamine rush and making people mad is also hilariously fun
I like to fly really high with the f4f in the German tree and drop the 3k in the spawn using the ccip, my best run was on Iberian castle and got an aa and a a10 that was flying really low
Speaks volumes about Gaijin and how they implement vehicles in this game when a Strv 122B+ needs to shoot a T-34-85 4 times to kill it. No Russian bias here comrade! Meanwhile if the T-34 shot back it would probably overpressure this tank through the commander's butthole.
Hell, nah, the vehicle is disabled only if whole crew(or most of it) is disabled. There was nobody in t-34 turret, so the vehicle was still alive. In real life crew would escape, but wt is really far from how it is in real life
@@radmizeee brother, after a fuel explosion and 4 APFSDS rounds through the turret the conditions in that T-34 would probably be similar to a furnace. Not to mention the fuel tank ate one APFSDS entirely because fuel tanks in the USSR were made from Stalin's discarded waifu pillows.
@@GeoDracu well, war thunder is not realistic, what do you expect, I explained why it took that many rounds in game. In real life though, it would be a completely different story
I think killing something from 20km away that cannot do anything against that thing is bad gameplay and bad gameplay is shit! The only ones who can do something against them are AA's with radar. CAS is just toxic and only fun for the player playing it...
