The only real way to do it is to approach within range of your dogfight ir missiles around 3km. To do this when you don't have chaff you need to take advantage of multipathing (stay within 60m of the ground). Watch out though many trees in this game can be as tall as 100m and they do not cause multipathing. In reality my best advice is to try to take advantage of multipathing by finding flat ground with few or no trees, or to place terrain between you and the missile. Its hard to get good results this way but it is possible good luck guys.

How about a new game mode? How about Enduring Air RB 8v8 or 10v10/12v12 below 12.0 lobbies? RWR Is barely useful in these 16v16 lobbies, there's a good chance now at 13.0 that 50+ missiles are live at all times in the first 5 minutes, your RWR is pinging random missiles from all directions, and again this is a problem of 16v16. Gaijin please make a new gamemode with less players and steer us away from ace combat simulator? You could make the gamemode loadout based people with Fox-3 and/or max limit missile loadouts go one lobby with less players? (Helps stock grinders) That way people who want big lobbys or a saner stock grind can play without Fox-3s or max missile count and do their thing, enjoy the furball.

3:00 "turn on your chaff, and the missile flies right past you!" imma be honest with you Gaijin that is the biggest lie I've ever heard, I have yet to find a moment where chaff has ever saved me from a fox 3
At most just using chaff saves you from TWS locks and prevent enemies from locking you with HMS/HMD but otherwise chaff shouldn’t be used as if it’s flares. Either notch and then chaff or turn around and drop chaff (Obviously chaff/flares aren’t gonna save you against any top tier missile if you’re in the
Nice guide for 1v1 combat with competent air frames (i.e. not a Harrier). And you kind of ignored how some planes need to get well under 5km (because they don't have or even cannot have radar missiles).
@@goliath3413yeah lol and the thing the guy is talking about are revolving around various other tactics to learn abd practice. Sim also can help as an equalizer
Video : "immediatly turn to the side to leave the missile behind you (...) turn on the regular schaff and the missile changes its course and flies passed you" *epic music* Reality : missile going through schaff or ahead of the aircraft and gets one tap everytime
"Now, what about super-long-range launches, like from 20KM and further?" - The incredibly cramped / small air maps make so much sense now. Gaijin thinks 12 miles is "super long range"....
"You don't. thanks for watching!" (top tier went from horrible to unplayable with this update in my honest opinion, at this point I would REALLY like to see an IR-only gamemode. or at least make top tier matches 6v6 at most)
by Any Chance, an aircraft of a fighter jet choice, has a really good climb rate, you can use your climb in altitude as the missile gets pulled by Gravity (Which is down), Air Resistance (Which is against the missile's trajectory its facing) and Lack of fuel to continue its propel as the fighter jet has more fuel to climb, as the fuel burn on the motor of the missile dies it loses its climb gain eventually failing to pursue but thats just my experience on how I've dealt with missiles before.
this is great and all but what happens if you are in a stock plane? and when you add in that there are 32 players with these missiles? lowering multipath without changing player count or the spotting system was a bad move.
They did lazily added an option that is nowhere mentioned. The legend says there was one 12v12 battle (wow only 24 planes each carrying 4+ FOX-3s) that did happen.
@@yourfavoritepereh1268 It's 12v12 and I've kept stats on how often those games appear with the setting on. 106 games since patch. 12 of those were 12v12.
Well he seemed to speak of a more energy based approach to the dodge in that segment of the video, notching relies on exploiting old doppler radar single-axis velocity measurements, maintaining a constant radial distance from the radar emitter which can trick the radar into thinking you are at zero-velocity. This tech works best against stationary SAM site radars, as it is easier to maintain a notch for a long period of time when orbiting a stationary ground radar. This technique will not work well against pulsed doppler radar which can measure both distance and velocity at the same time. And will work even less so against Air to Air FOX-3, especially if the missile radar returns are combined with the plane's radar for tracking.
That’s because that’s not notching, notching is flying at 90 deg to the direction the plane/missile is traveling in and it’s almost never the same as 3/9 which is putting the missile at 90 deg to the direction you’re traveling in. Extremely important distinction
That's what I do. Or take off and turn 100 degrees around and "climb cold" until I get to 10000m before even thinking about looking for targets. That high it's easy to bleed the energy from most because 5 min in they're being fired from below by planes that started diving 3 min ago while I was climbing cold.
1:43 From a Falcon BMS player: This process is called 'Notching'. You put the missile on your 3/9 line because missiles always fly an intercept path towards you from the moment they are launched. Doing this forces the missile to expend extra energy trying to lead you thus giving it a harder time trying to hit you. edit: 2:45 this is called dragging the missile and it only works if you have enough speed to even outrun the missile to begin with. There's a lot more to BVR (Beyond Visual Range) fights than what is explained here and it's a very interesting thing to learn about and I hope the more realistic tactics can be used
If you're close to the missile heading towards the enemy (since you probably are trying to guide your own missile), what I like to do anywhere from 15 to 25 mi. is to turn to the gimbal limits of the radar for a few seconds to save some time and bleed the missile, then turn upside down and start pulling towards the ground (losing altitude also helps bleed speed in thicker air, while your aircraft maintains its speed in a turn) until you reach the opposite gimbal limit (still in a dive), then break off and let your missile do its thing once it's gone pitbull, and turn away. Do a zigzag maneuver while flying away from the missile, and while gradually flying towards the ground. This almost always bleeds it completely. Then turn back in and gain speed and altitude. If you successfully bleed the missile before turning cold, then don't go cold. Often, if the distance is greater, you can crank from one side to the other of the gimbal limit whole decreasing altitude and maintaining lock, and if the enemy doesn't do the same, you either gain the advantage as they go cold, or your missile hits them while they fly straight and theirs misses. If you are very close, turn away immediately and either go cold if you still have some distance, decrease altitude and maneuver, or fly low to the ground, or try to notch (although notching is very risky).
Please make all matches smaller at top tier; these may work if it’s only a few missiles but with teams of 12, each plane carrying about 2 missiles, that’s 24 missiles that are all flying towards you and your team. Many planes carry more than 2 as well, that number was just to average out the poor stock players who need to survive up there with no chaff or fox 3 missiles of their own.
Thank you for teaching the basics to amateurs, and there will still be people complaining because they want to play stupidly in High Tier by headon in a straight line without learning how to position themselves. In a Ground match, any MBT that enters the open field and accelerates will die to a well-positioned enemy. Now I see many players learning to adapt, using the terrain, the mountains, the scenery to camouflage themselves. I loved seeing some games like this, and I believe that over time, fewer noobs will be in this BR. I would just like to see Air-Air matches like Groung-Air matches, where it doesn't show that the enemy has a red nickname. I understand this exists in WWII matches, but in next-gen fighter matches it's really annoying since Gaijin assumes all players are newbies. The game claims to be "Realistic" and in reality, there is no red marker enemy nickname. If the player wants to play with high BR, he needs to learn how to play. Use the radar, know how to position yourself, know how to maneuver.
Hopefully people will take the time to watch this video instead of complaining and asking the game to be adjusted to cater their unwillingness to learn to play it properly. Nice video!
This Update is very fun for the most part, Except when 7 missile form 4 directions come at you at the same time making it near impossible to notch them all at once, this problem would be rather easily fixed by having less people in each match. What was that? There´s an option to get smaller lobbies?! Oh, what a shame it´s only one in very 20-30 rounds too bad....... PLEASE making like 10v10 or 8v8 the DEFAULT and if someone should want 16v16 give them a switch to enable such matchmaking, but so far EVERYONE I´ve talked to hates 16v16s SPAMRAAM clusterfucks and would not mind waiting the extra 10 seconds in the "split"(large games and small ones) queue to get a fun experience.
I’m curious to know how you get in such a situation that missiles coming from all 4 directions is possible? 😳 All enemy missiles at the start are generally gonna come from the same direction i.e. in front of you so if you notch one (with minor adjustments for those you aren’t notching) you’ll eventually notch all incoming. In such a scenario where you end up in a fox-3 furball as you say you can simply fly low (~60 metres/160ft and below; roughly tree top height) and pay attention to any Fox-2 (heat seeking) missiles that are headed in your general direction and flare accordingly
With more missiles flying your way the only viable option becomes turning 180 with shallow dive and deploying chaff, assuming that on one was launching missiles form your rear 180 you will survive, but then if the enemy is persistent you won't do anything in the match.
Depends. If you fly behind a mountain and then radically change course, the missile will continue to try to intercept your last known trajectory, thus you'll evade it.
@@dreccasawa9975 but they wont do that, ever, if you were to test that with a friend and then watch the tacview thing you'll see the seeker still tracks the plane through the terrain
@@jarfmusic no, but the missiles is and most of the time you go behind terrain to mask a pitbull missile, which means that that pitbull missile is still tracking you.
Are you sure it’s pitbull? I’ve avoided missiles that were using a mountain and the lock breaks. There a chance the missile is still being guided by TWS track memory
When I play on the highest tier, because of the limited capabilities the fox 3 has, I take my battles at up to 11,000m high. That way, everyone at a distance of 10kms below, they fire the missiles; but because I'm all the way high, I'm counting that the missile will loose it's momentum and fall. I'd say 4 out of 10, it works. By biggest disadvantage is that sometimes, the engines will stall at higher altitude.
Great advice! I'll try to dodge them! 20 minutes later. I wonder when WT publish another advice video explaining how to dodge 64 missiles launched at the same time
maybe people will stop charging in and launching all missiles while flying straight into 3 ARH missiles, then joining a new battle to do it again and again and again. 3:15 actually learned a new maneuver, thx guygin
That last part only happens when you're at the deck already. Anytime I dive from high alt to the deck, the missile- before reaching the deck- will change it's course to avoid colliding with the ground.
As a fairly new player, warthunder needs to listen to its community more. From the history of changes and stuff being added, it’s an unequal mess but still fun. I can see why most players prefer around mid tier combat. It’s a shame because the game could be amazing.
The game is amazing. I can help teach you and practice. Alot of skill issue and bandwagon on rumors and people wanting clout. You can even look through this comment section. Several people tried to clear up missinderstandings of people saying this and that telling the truth about giving tips on how to do things
What if you are not alone in the game? What if there are 10 other players after you and all this maneuvering makes you lose speed or favorable position for you to shoot at them?
If thats the case you are too close to the enemy. You shouldn’t be within 15 miles of them. If you’re far enough away you can dodge 20 fox 3’s use your radar so you’re not flying into a blob of enemies. Use chaff long enough not to get locked launch two missile to pick a couple off turn, run, and repeat
Yes it does chaff so you don’t get locked fire two of your own missiles turn, fly away and repeat. Use your radar and don’t fly into groups of enemies pick one or two off and run away.
@@chipper9178 ...you do not have to repeat what they said in the vid, i got that, but this doesn't work if there are 16 enemys coming from different directions. Top Tier Realistic is like arcade. If I pick one or two off the enemy, 4 people of the enemy team will pick off me. If I'm turning away to go cold i will get radar lock from the next 2 enemys flying towards me from the other direction. This whole thing only works for the first encounter...and only if you're and the enemy are lonely
@@TheJackSilence obviously you still don’t understand… if you pick off the first two and run away their missiles will never catch you unless your waiting to fight people less than 10 miles away. Even up close you can win if you’re skilled I’ve dodge multiple enemy missiles and teammate missiles in a fur ball by notching/chaff the first one then multi path the next and repeat.
And what if I decide to utilize an aircraft with low stalling speed, high maneuvrability and an average speed of 250 km/h at ground level? Asking for science
Thats cool but only works in a direct 1v1 situation. At the current state you dodge one missile BUT HEY there is another one from a completly different direction due to the 16v16 matchmaker. Fox-3 games should be limited to 6v6 at max.
how play top tier, climb as fast as you can, who cares about speed, launch missiles at 9km up, wait for a few seconds while stalling your plane so you don't get far, get into that 20~km homing range, rtb, reload, and j- out and go to the next match
"This video is an actual representation on how to evade Fox-3 missiles" Proceeds to show how to evade SINGLE missile. In the meantime, despite enabled option for reduced player amount in matches, you end up in 16 v 16 games 98% of times and enemy just slinged 6-7 missiles towards you while being on a shitty flat map with zero terrain cover whatsoever. Yep, legit representation, we just don't know in which universe.
There 2 type of people playing RB, pleople that knows about BVR and loved the new update, and people that love furballs and multipath, Gaijin i'ts time to bring new Realistic game mode. I'm playing this game for 12 Years, and this game always forced you to learn about what are you doing. I'ts the realistic battles. But in the last years people that dont know and don't care about learn mechanics. What they do is complain about the game, making RB seems an better arcade mode. So it's time to give what they want.

I don't want to play simulator battles and buy joysticks for this. I believe in you Gaijin.
@@Alisevenn13 It's not that difficult when you get it down. I once notched 2 in a single game. Although I wouldn't recommend notching unless absolutely necessary. Multipathing is way more consistent and easy to pull off.
I use those tricks. Doesn’t work every time. What wouldn’t be a problem. The problem is my tws just drops the lock, and guides the missle to random previous positions. Even in head ons 10km pitbull range…. I often got killed while the trees scratch the belly of my plane… Sometimes fox 3 works sometimes don’t…
I've dodged quite a few missiles without knowing the names of the maneuvers. In Sim though, can't imagine playing the arcade modes, feels like a clusterf***. But the new 120 ones are a bit harder to dodge head on from like 3km.
ARH-Missiles just destroyed top tier. Just unplayable. No more skill needed, just fire and forget. Can't even leave spawn zone without getting locked and fired at, most times. Not even chaff helps. Missiles keep track and destroy me all the time.
all fox 3 immune to chaff right now, they lock you up from behind and see you though chaff. You try to notch - missiles like fox 3 have memory and they will continued following your path and re-enable seeker again
okay but after doing defensive manuvers in the gripen you dont have the Thrust/weight ratio to continue on the aggressive after defending, bvr is quite a one trick pony for the gripen
I saw Fox-3 only from ground (not just there yet in jets), but isn't there also 16 targets for the enemy? So they should not all be running at you - or am I mistaken and three planes firing "dual tap" at same target, then multitrack to repeat this three times (6xFox-3), multiplied by whole team doing the very same?
So, the Fox-3 introduction became such an issue that even the official content WT channel had to provide basic content about dealing with this issue. if this isn't some sort of admission that Fox-3s are somewhat of a "problem", I don't know what else is.
❤I didnt see it because i dont watch those kind of guys that give mindless dribble for attention. Bad advice and bandwagons. What you do is adjust your flight path. It projects where yiu will be in a memory mode, which is a feature irl.
What do i do if my RWR is literally unreadable from the amount of radar pings and missile launches? Not to mention the clutter from me passing through the beam of a tracking radar/missile Like you just cant make out anything And positioning doesn't do much. You can go to either edge, up in orbit or scraping the trees, rush straight ahead or wait for your team to die. Your RWR will always be full of noise unless your team already wiped the enemies
This game went from actual skill wins to random luck. Ah yes let me climb so that I can just get slapped by sparrow or r27er missile while the radar ones are flying at me
this only really works in sim. when i have 4 fox3s coming at me from different angles, and a whole enemy team waiting for me to get higher up, thats pretty hard to do.

RWR Is barely useful in these 16v16 lobbies, there's a good chance now at 13.0 that 50+ missiles are live at all times in the first 5 minutes, your RWR is pinging random missiles from all directions, and again this is a problem of 16v16.
Gaijin please make a new gamemode with less players and steer us away from ace combat simulator?
You could make the gamemode loadout based people with Fox-3 and/or max limit missile loadouts go one lobby with less players? (Helps stock grinders) That way people who want big lobbys or a saner stock grind can play without Fox-3s or max missile count and do their thing, enjoy the furball.
There aren't 96 flying at you.
In-fact, there's rarely ever 2 flying at you unless you intentionally bait for your friendly team.
Go play arcade for smaller lobbies since you want Ace Combat.
@@JohnDegurechaff It's ironic that the guy who enjoys a 32v32 lobby with a clapback to my example of 96 missiles being the minimum that fully spaded 13.0 lobby will be carrying PER TEAM says I should go play ace combat. Whilst also being completely off my point rofl.

imma be honest with you Gaijin that is the biggest lie I've ever heard, I have yet to find a moment where chaff has ever saved me from a fox 3
At most just using chaff saves you from TWS locks and prevent enemies from locking you with HMS/HMD but otherwise chaff shouldn’t be used as if it’s flares. Either notch and then chaff or turn around and drop chaff

Nice guide for 1v1 combat with competent air frames (i.e. not a Harrier). And you kind of ignored how some planes need to get well under 5km (because they don't have or even cannot have radar missiles).
in a harrier just VTOL and the radar literally wont see you cuz you're a stationary target lol
@@goliath3413yeah lol and the thing the guy is talking about are revolving around various other tactics to learn abd practice. Sim also can help as an equalizer

Video : "immediatly turn to the side to leave the missile behind you (...) turn on the regular schaff and the missile changes its course and flies passed you" *epic music*
Reality : missile going through schaff or ahead of the aircraft and gets one tap everytime
"Now, what about super-long-range launches, like from 20KM and further?" - The incredibly cramped / small air maps make so much sense now. Gaijin thinks 12 miles is "super long range"....

(top tier went from horrible to unplayable with this update in my honest opinion, at this point I would REALLY like to see an IR-only gamemode. or at least make top tier matches 6v6 at most)
Can’t BVR, must use unflarable missile
Can do 10.0 br in sim or under or 11.3 and under either of those brackets under it will suit you
by Any Chance, an aircraft of a fighter jet choice, has a really good climb rate, you can use your climb in altitude as the missile gets pulled by Gravity (Which is down), Air Resistance (Which is against the missile's trajectory its facing) and Lack of fuel to continue its propel as the fighter jet has more fuel to climb, as the fuel burn on the motor of the missile dies it loses its climb gain eventually failing to pursue but thats just my experience on how I've dealt with missiles before.
True
this is great and all but what happens if you are in a stock plane? and when you add in that there are 32 players with these missiles? lowering multipath without changing player count or the spotting system was a bad move.
They did lazily added an option that is nowhere mentioned. The legend says there was one 12v12 battle (wow only 24 planes each carrying 4+ FOX-3s) that did happen.
They made it an option to switch to 8v8 matchmaking if you want to

Most people call it notching. Ive never heard it called 3/9 before WT official videos.
Well he seemed to speak of a more energy based approach to the dodge in that segment of the video, notching relies on exploiting old doppler radar single-axis velocity measurements, maintaining a constant radial distance from the radar emitter which can trick the radar into thinking you are at zero-velocity.
This tech works best against stationary SAM site radars, as it is easier to maintain a notch for a long period of time when orbiting a stationary ground radar.
This technique will not work well against pulsed doppler radar which can measure both distance and velocity at the same time.
And will work even less so against Air to Air FOX-3, especially if the missile radar returns are combined with the plane's radar for tracking.
That’s because that’s not notching, notching is flying at 90 deg to the direction the plane/missile is traveling in and it’s almost never the same as 3/9 which is putting the missile at 90 deg to the direction you’re traveling in. Extremely important distinction
Might be a script created according to a one in russian (not necessarily translated).
That info wasn't leaked on their forums, so they didn't know the proper terminology.
@@gregc9344 They're both literally the exact same thing bro.
Are they only testing new implementations in 1v1 and not the totaly not-chaotic 12v12?
Probably, that would explain a lot...
You can dodge them by sitting on the runway for 5 minutes while everyone fires theirs off 😂
That's what I do. Or take off and turn 100 degrees around and "climb cold" until I get to 10000m before even thinking about looking for targets. That high it's easy to bleed the energy from most because 5 min in they're being fired from below by planes that started diving 3 min ago while I was climbing cold.
just side climb bro
@@humyHumsyong I'll climb in whatever direction I want bro
1:43 From a Falcon BMS player: This process is called 'Notching'. You put the missile on your 3/9 line because missiles always fly an intercept path towards you from the moment they are launched. Doing this forces the missile to expend extra energy trying to lead you thus giving it a harder time trying to hit you.
edit: 2:45 this is called dragging the missile and it only works if you have enough speed to even outrun the missile to begin with. There's a lot more to BVR (Beyond Visual Range) fights than what is explained here and it's a very interesting thing to learn about and I hope the more realistic tactics can be used
They usually always can in the game. Hope some people taake the time to learn more
If you're close to the missile heading towards the enemy (since you probably are trying to guide your own missile), what I like to do anywhere from 15 to 25 mi. is to turn to the gimbal limits of the radar for a few seconds to save some time and bleed the missile, then turn upside down and start pulling towards the ground (losing altitude also helps bleed speed in thicker air, while your aircraft maintains its speed in a turn) until you reach the opposite gimbal limit (still in a dive), then break off and let your missile do its thing once it's gone pitbull, and turn away. Do a zigzag maneuver while flying away from the missile, and while gradually flying towards the ground. This almost always bleeds it completely. Then turn back in and gain speed and altitude.
If you successfully bleed the missile before turning cold, then don't go cold. Often, if the distance is greater, you can crank from one side to the other of the gimbal limit whole decreasing altitude and maintaining lock, and if the enemy doesn't do the same, you either gain the advantage as they go cold, or your missile hits them while they fly straight and theirs misses. If you are very close, turn away immediately and either go cold if you still have some distance, decrease altitude and maneuver, or fly low to the ground, or try to notch (although notching is very risky).
At least you released a tutorial, slightly easing the pain many people have already experienced with this terrifying missile
Please make all matches smaller at top tier; these may work if it’s only a few missiles but with teams of 12, each plane carrying about 2 missiles, that’s 24 missiles that are all flying towards you and your team.
Many planes carry more than 2 as well, that number was just to average out the poor stock players who need to survive up there with no chaff or fox 3 missiles of their own.
War thunder is one of the games where everybody plays the game the way its meant to be played. Which is rare nowadays in the gaming industry.
Thank you for teaching the basics to amateurs, and there will still be people complaining because they want to play stupidly in High Tier by headon in a straight line without learning how to position themselves. In a Ground match, any MBT that enters the open field and accelerates will die to a well-positioned enemy. Now I see many players learning to adapt, using the terrain, the mountains, the scenery to camouflage themselves. I loved seeing some games like this, and I believe that over time, fewer noobs will be in this BR.
I would just like to see Air-Air matches like Groung-Air matches, where it doesn't show that the enemy has a red nickname. I understand this exists in WWII matches, but in next-gen fighter matches it's really annoying since Gaijin assumes all players are newbies. The game claims to be "Realistic" and in reality, there is no red marker enemy nickname. If the player wants to play with high BR, he needs to learn how to play. Use the radar, know how to position yourself, know how to maneuver.
Play sim then
@@quarreneverett4767 easy.
@@linleesin fancy
What I found helpful is never go directly 90 degrees, never notched the ARH or SARH missle, so always make sure you go past 90 degrees.
Hopefully people will take the time to watch this video instead of complaining and asking the game to be adjusted to cater their unwillingness to learn to play it properly.
Nice video!
me after dumping 60 large caliber chaff notching and flying 4 feet off the floor still being railed by a fox 3
@@t-rexcamp9090 you are replying to a gaijin bot.
The problem is that, unless it's late game, you're pretty much never fighting just one missile, FOX 3 or not.
This Update is very fun for the most part, Except when 7 missile form 4 directions come at you at the same time making it near impossible to notch them all at once, this problem would be rather easily fixed by having less people in each match. What was that? There´s an option to get smaller lobbies?! Oh, what a shame it´s only one in very 20-30 rounds too bad.......
PLEASE making like 10v10 or 8v8 the DEFAULT and if someone should want 16v16 give them a switch to enable such matchmaking, but so far EVERYONE I´ve talked to hates 16v16s SPAMRAAM clusterfucks and would not mind waiting the extra 10 seconds in the "split"(large games and small ones) queue to get a fun experience.
Smaller games wouldn’t solve your problems, and keep in mind it’s the players that pushed for 16v16 games
I’m curious to know how you get in such a situation that missiles coming from all 4 directions is possible? 😳
All enemy missiles at the start are generally gonna come from the same direction i.e. in front of you so if you notch one (with minor adjustments for those you aren’t notching) you’ll eventually notch all incoming.
In such a scenario where you end up in a fox-3 furball as you say you can simply fly low (~60 metres/160ft and below; roughly tree top height) and pay attention to any Fox-2 (heat seeking) missiles that are headed in your general direction and flare accordingly
With more missiles flying your way the only viable option becomes turning 180 with shallow dive and deploying chaff, assuming that on one was launching missiles form your rear 180 you will survive, but then if the enemy is persistent you won't do anything in the match.
Don’t fly behind mountains and think you’re safe, it’s not DCS, sometimes they can track you
Depends. If you fly behind a mountain and then radically change course, the missile will continue to try to intercept your last known trajectory, thus you'll evade it.
@@dreccasawa9975 but they wont do that, ever, if you were to test that with a friend and then watch the tacview thing you'll see the seeker still tracks the plane through the terrain
@@NGC2419- Is the plane radar also still tracking though?
@@jarfmusic no, but the missiles is and most of the time you go behind terrain to mask a pitbull missile, which means that that pitbull missile is still tracking you.
Are you sure it’s pitbull? I’ve avoided missiles that were using a mountain and the lock breaks.
There a chance the missile is still being guided by TWS track memory
When I play on the highest tier, because of the limited capabilities the fox 3 has, I take my battles at up to 11,000m high. That way, everyone at a distance of 10kms below, they fire the missiles; but because I'm all the way high, I'm counting that the missile will loose it's momentum and fall. I'd say 4 out of 10, it works. By biggest disadvantage is that sometimes, the engines will stall at higher altitude.
Meanwhile, you are still in a battle with more than 10 enemies, and rockets are flying towards you from everywhere
Great advice! I'll try to dodge them!
20 minutes later.
I wonder when WT publish another advice video explaining how to dodge 64 missiles launched at the same time
maybe people will stop charging in and launching all missiles while flying straight into 3 ARH missiles, then joining a new battle to do it again and again and again.
3:15 actually learned a new maneuver, thx guygin
I know right, one would have never thought of that.
Tried using them against the new IRIAF F-14. NOTHING WORKS DUDE
we are getting basement guy and D point with this one!🗣🗣🔥🔥
That last part only happens when you're at the deck already. Anytime I dive from high alt to the deck, the missile- before reaching the deck- will change it's course to avoid colliding with the ground.

War Thunder: Yes
just notch, I've recently learned to do it, and got 15 games with 5+ kills in a day lmao
Well done
About time for this video. Next: how to use Fox3 missiles.
As a fairly new player, warthunder needs to listen to its community more. From the history of changes and stuff being added, it’s an unequal mess but still fun. I can see why most players prefer around mid tier combat. It’s a shame because the game could be amazing.
The game is amazing. I can help teach you and practice. Alot of skill issue and bandwagon on rumors and people wanting clout. You can even look through this comment section. Several people tried to clear up missinderstandings of people saying this and that telling the truth about giving tips on how to do things
The game is a sim you can read up and stufy and practice things and apply it
What if you are not alone in the game? What if there are 10 other players after you and all this maneuvering makes you lose speed or favorable position for you to shoot at them?
If thats the case you are too close to the enemy. You shouldn’t be within 15 miles of them. If you’re far enough away you can dodge 20 fox 3’s use your radar so you’re not flying into a blob of enemies. Use chaff long enough not to get locked launch two missile to pick a couple off turn, run, and repeat
It works great I have almost a 2.0 KD in the F15c
Hugging the ground with the altitude to ground setting is pretty good. As long as those numbers are it the red your pretty ok

great advice for 1 vs 1 but this wont work for 16 vs 16 and the option for smaller rounds (6 vs 6) nearly never works.
Yes it does chaff so you don’t get locked fire two of your own missiles turn, fly away and repeat. Use your radar and don’t fly into groups of enemies pick one or two off and run away.
@@chipper9178 ...you do not have to repeat what they said in the vid, i got that, but this doesn't work if there are 16 enemys coming from different directions. Top Tier Realistic is like arcade.
If I pick one or two off the enemy, 4 people of the enemy team will pick off me. If I'm turning away to go cold i will get radar lock from the next 2 enemys flying towards me from the other direction.
This whole thing only works for the first encounter...and only if you're and the enemy are lonely
@@TheJackSilence obviously you still don’t understand… if you pick off the first two and run away their missiles will never catch you unless your waiting to fight people less than 10 miles away. Even up close you can win if you’re skilled I’ve dodge multiple enemy missiles and teammate missiles in a fur ball by notching/chaff the first one then multi path the next and repeat.

Now it's easy to use planes, since gaijin removed the anti-aircraft sights, making the game even more unplayable than it was.

Ive been using the 9&3 maneuver since patch drop to great affect
Thats cool but only works in a direct 1v1 situation. At the current state you dodge one missile BUT HEY there is another one from a completly different direction due to the 16v16 matchmaker.
Fox-3 games should be limited to 6v6 at max.
I use every one of these methods. The zig zag is amazing
how play top tier, climb as fast as you can, who cares about speed, launch missiles at 9km up, wait for a few seconds while stalling your plane so you don't get far, get into that 20~km homing range, rtb, reload, and j- out and go to the next match
"This video is an actual representation on how to evade Fox-3 missiles"
Proceeds to show how to evade SINGLE missile. In the meantime, despite enabled option for reduced player amount in matches, you end up in 16 v 16 games 98% of times and enemy just slinged 6-7 missiles towards you while being on a shitty flat map with zero terrain cover whatsoever.

team doing the very same?
