    If we reach 5k Likes on this video and 500 Comments, I will release a MiG-29 video on Christmas Day! A rare chance to see me fly a Soviet Jet! Also out of curiosity, which one of these two icons is your favorite, the F-16 or the MiG-29?

    Hey, little tip, if you point your nose at a radar target in pulse doppler mode, you're moving them into the notch, which is why you keep losing lock. Try to make sure their vector on your radar doesn't become horizontal, and you'll start getting a much better PK with those sparrows.

      I haven't flown a ton of high-tier jets in war thunder and when I have I usually stick to IR missiles because that is my bread and butter in most games. I am getting more comfortable with the radar and missiles like the Sparrows. Learning and understanding all the radar settings and how they relate to the game is a bit of a daunting task but I feel like I am getting closer to the point where that is gonna be my primary focus on where to improve my gameplay. Thanks for the feedback.

    • @alexvolute7454
      @alexvolute7454 2 года назад +1

      the direction your nose is pointing doesn't have any affect on the angle between the radio waves and the contact (within gimbal limits), changing where your nose is pointed wont move someone in or out of the notch since that wont change the direction the contact is moving with respect to the emitted radio waves.

    Ah the memories. Spending a day (About an hour) in the 360° dome simulator at Luke AFB while a buddy was in transition training from the Navy (A-7) to the ANG F-16C. Most of the fancier HUD symbology was turned off and the rest of the controls were in idiot mode. But I still had a great time. Stuck a Winder up a MiG-29’s tailpipe and gunned my own tanker out of the sky.
    Watching Bo & Co. swanning about in the Viper guarantees that I’m going to be grinding my butt off to get a hold of it.
    I do think it’s firing the Sidewinders in the wrong order however. I’m not even vaguely certain, but I feel like the underwing should fire before the wingtip. The wingtip rail and missile actually have a positive aerodynamic effect, much like the winglets on airliners. I’d still say take my comment and information with about 50lbs of salt.
