      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

    • @crazygone5107
      @crazygone5107 17 дней назад +1

      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.

  • @enterchannelname8981

    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

    • @TimsVariety
      @TimsVariety  18 дней назад +21

      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. 💪

  • @torpy9212
    @torpy9212 18 дней назад +2

    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.

    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.

    Hey Tim, it's been 24 hours since your last radar guide, when is the updated version coming out?

    More advanced than at least some of DCS radars (I'm looking at you Mig-21 bis).

    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.

    I'm just starting to get into trying the higher tiers of aircraft, I've had some for a while, but I didn't really like the gameplay, I saw the old radar guide, but I hadn't really used any radars at that point so I didn't get it, now having tried some out a bit this made a lot more sense.
    Also I'm really curious about that missile guide, because I really want to know how locking an IR missile with radar works, that seems very useful, I can't seem to figure it out, but I think that's probably because the missiles I've been using (AIM-9D) doesn't support it.

      The missile guide I have up now goes over that - IR missile slaving - but I'll be covering it in the new one as well.
