Great guide, but I'll add a few points: 1. If you struggle with the notch, lower your speed. The missile determines your closure speed, so going slower gives you some additional degrees of error for the notch. It's a good idea to decrease your speed to around Mach 0.9 if you are flying low and expecting a close fight. That way you would be able to hit the notch quicker and notching will be easier 2. If you are going to do bvr, work on increasing your speed. Modern missiles love to be launched at high speeds. Mach 1.5 and 5-7 km of altitude is way better than Mach 1 and 12 km of altitude if you are going to fire on targets at the deck 3. Going fast also allows you to defeat missiles kinematically. Amraam won't catch you if you are running away at Mach 1.8! 4. In order to achieve those high speeds, turn carefully. Don't always turn by pressing your keyboard buttons, but slowly drag your mouse instead every time when you can afford it. Especially at high (8+ km) altitudes
Excellent video….it is especially useful how you paused at key moments to explain vital points…like Navy Fighter Weapons School for War Thunder.Thanks!
9:22 ah yes, that wonderful measurement of time known as the “sceond.” also, it’s entirely possible and in fact likely that the missile still would have missed if it was tracking during that dip in the terrain, since it seems small enough that we were probably still within the threshold for multipathing. however, it still serves to illustrate the point that changes in terrain height can disrupt your attempts to dodge using that method.
Although i don't have a personal need to look at guides, I periodically come to youtube and check some for my friends that are keen on improving, and with this new update, most of them struggled to get used to the new top tier clusterf*ck 2.0. This guide is nuts, it's comprehensive, yet a simple explanation on how to survive in the [LAUNCH] environment for rookies and intermediate folks. You earned this like + sub, not many other CCs have achieved such clarity on this topic, congrats.
THIS. IS. THE. BEST. GUIDE. Thank you for this simple explanation with pictures. There are youtubers with much more audience but u explained it compact, easy to understand and paused the replay so we can see and understand whats happening. chapeau!
No stop telling people how to notch. I rather enjoy watching people flail around wildly and claiming the game is terrible now that they can't abuse multipathing.
Indeed now they can instead abuse radar missiles and having a glorified ace combat mission. Notching is fine but when you have to notch 40 different missiles it’s not fun
great explanation! I hope people finally understand that this isnt as bad of a change in meta as some think it is, you just need to adapt to it. And how did you get that vertical acm lock for the av8 by the way?
it’s the second ACM sweep for that radar. if you’re unfamiliar, you can use the same binding for changing scan area on search mode to change scan area for ACM mode on radars that support the functionality. most radar tutorials will cover it if you’re unsure which binding that is; I can’t check at the moment.
You gained a subscriber, best guide for top tier ever... not even bugger youtubers fighting between them to get the better guides come close to the simplicity and efectiveness of this one
well, it’s a good 9.7 airframe at 12.3. if you treat it similarly to a frogfoot, in that it has very good missiles but can only dogfight at low speeds and doesn’t have good sustained energy, you’ll have a better time. the difference with the harrier is it has more aoa but bad sustain. it definitely has the attacker tag for a reason. just sucks that it only has a few pylons to work with.
Aim-120 are almost invulnerable to noching.Going cold is the only sure way to get away.And that leaves you defending the entire game Piece of s..t game.And at the end you handled yourself.
probably the best survival guide for war thunder i've ever seen

dodged 3 missiles while watching this for the first time so id say it works

so happy that this is actually a required skill now
boring as fuck
Very good guide, the new harrier looks fun as hell.

This is the best survival guide for this patch that i've seen
Great video man! This gave me a lot of confidence against radar missiles now that multi pathing has been nerfed. Thank you!
I highly recommend this video!
Now we just need 9Rs and 9Xs 😂
Very entertainimg and valuable showcase. Makes me wanna try the harriers
Great video 🌻
Nice video!
What about when sea level is 130m above sea level? Has nooooobody notice that piece of Gaijin cheese?
It’s a good job all my British vehicles carry good RWR oh wait… and can carry a good amount of CM oh wait… and can manoeuvre oh wait…
not very cash money killed me
my spo-15 at 12.7 is my best friend
I tried a mig-21 with spo-10 rwr on sim and it didn't tell me anything lmao
Or just turn radar off sneak up on enemy only works if your have good game sense and lots of hours
U kinda sound like the missile knows where it is guy

@@Android_ELITE I figured it out. many thanks
just acrescent that is more efective to chaff while your wing are leveled, for RWR precision and doing this at close range shots also works

Great, thanks!
Which I could thumbs up more then once. Thanks for the guide!
Good video...comment for the algorithm
wow more people should see this thumbs up !
How s that AV-8B is it decent at that BR ? Seeing how its facing F-16s and F-15s and Mig-29s and all them monsters.

Amazing fight there at the end of the video!
Soothing ahh voice ahh
This is a really good video, nice job!
Thank you!

Notching ≠ defeating a missile. You can notch an AMRAAM but it is not going to stop it, it simply gives you more time to fully defeat the missile
