AIM-120 Vs R-Darter | This Missile Surprised Me! (Dev Server) 

I honestly cant wait for these missiles to be added to war thunder. My only issue with that could possibly be an issue is the multipathing but other than that it could be a solid update.

Besides the Multipath issue, I’m glad how this is turning out. The Gripen is a BFM powerhouse, but against an F-15, it’s constantly being pushed down and defending. If an F-15 plays its cards right (again ignoring multipathing), it will always have the advantage.

You should pitch the F4f ice against a j8f or tornado ADV or something I think that would be really cool to see❤

kinda funny how well they perform for a missile that isnt even modelled with the correct parameters.

Sad that the derby and the r darter are the same irl they have some differences

Fool me once shame on me. Fool me twice shame on me. Fool me three times and its still on me! I have a bad habit from playing DCS where the only real way to dodge a fox 2 is to pull up or down dumping flares because they come out of the bottom in the F15. If you don't pull up you usually eat a missile and die which led to me getting R-Darters for breakfast lunch and dinner. Good fights :)

can see from a 1v1 easily that in a n vs n match, as long as one missile truck dumped its whole load, the entire enemy team has to dive and dance, even for sim this would be a big mess

It would be nice if u make a video about radar's now, I guess now it's going to be much more important which fighter has the better radar

The r-darter seems exceptional in turning capabilities but the aim120 sustains energy much better so in BVR the aim120 would win

Just realized that the derby is only the old version. There are still the I-derby and I-derby-er to be added.

the Derby/R-Darter in close ranges and for close combat scenarios is really formidable, thats because is based off the Python-4 which is a dogfight missile, the derby was modified a lot but the israeli engineers wanted to keep some of the dogfight capabilities that the Python-4 have to make it a really scary missile in really close combat.

Since they gave big protein pills to chaffs is a good point to remove multipath, at least for SB

Just waiting on my US AV-8B i dont want to buy another premium inorder to get it but shit that Amx A1a is lookin pretty good. It also seems to be the only jet with a proper ccrp line or working count down letting you know when to release your lizards.

this is just another confirmation that the r27er is still going to be the king of top tier: it ignores multipath because once it kicks in the innertial guidance already strikes, it is a whole mach number faster than the fox3s and since it is used at more closer range it will be harder to defeat in general.

Not even really playing air much anymore until they get added

i saw you the dev server and absolutely shit myself

To me these missiles have changed the meta SLIGHTLY. Before the gameplay was mostly, stay low into the battlefield, merging with the enemy and using your plane to get good Fox-2 shots. And your Fox-1’s were mostly to punish people that went high. This for me was the meta and led me to a relatively good spot on the leaderboard in most matches where I didn’t get outplayed by the first plane I saw. So much so that before the dev server, I was rocking 1 Fox-1 on my planes, and as many Fox-2’s as I could. The Fox-1 was good for punishing someone that floated too high for too long, and the Fox-2s were for everything else. But now with the performance of these Fox-3 missiles, I think the meta is going to be more about forcing people off of the deck. Like in your first fight, the F-15 was competing quite well, however at the last second he popped off the deck, and the darter punished him for it. I’ve done this on the dev working together with teammates. Fox-2’s can be beat by keeping distance, or flaring in a specific way, but the Fox-3’s can only really be beat at distance, and on the deck. So close up if you are within 10km, if someone comes off the deck there’s a good chance a Fox-3 is going to connect. Regardless of how you want to play the game after the update, the Fox-3’s are much better than the Fox-2’s at any distance greater than 2km. As long as you can get the enemy to stay off of the ground. So I’ll probably be bringing mostly Fox-3’s. And 2 fox-2’s for those moments I get in too close.

damn yeah you werent kidding about the aspect ratio

Do you think the missile that R darter that went into the ground in the first fight is because you locked it onto the incoming amraam and because the 120 is prolly flying at mach 3 and pulling 30-50gs your missile over lead it too much causing it to behave in the way it did? I have no idea if the game has this detail coded tho

В итоге никакого теста ракет так и не увидел. Все что увидел это что ракета сбивает противника который не летит у земли, спасибо, с этим справляются и текущие ракеты.

Did they ever fix the missiles going for chaff way to easily?

Could someone please enlighten me as to what multipathing is ?

I wish more war thunder youtubers used Miles/Knots for their measurement units, its so much more natural than km for aviation.

Can someone fill me in on what multi pathing is ?

When will the update be available anyone know ?

Where are you finding the bots at

Why do you use multipathing so much in every bvr vid go cold or something else

Hey can anyone tell me what was the song playing in the background at the end before the trailer 12:41

Were it not for multipathing, these missiles would all be op... remember that when you complain. It cant be real life guys.

If you think the R-Darter is strong wait till they add they A-Darter

Whos the f15 PILOT LOL WHAT IS BRO DOING
