This complete guide to air to air missiles in War Thunder goes over basic missile concepts, guidance types, keybinds, and how to use them in the game. The idea is to take an absolute beginner and get them a basic level of competence in operating these weapons. Information and UI is current as of the "Danger Zone" update in June 2022 which added the F-14 and Active Radar missiles.

@enterchannelname8981 2 года назад

It was a smart move to use the Shafrir for the caged seeker example instead of the Aim-9, because that way a new player can remember the difference instead of getting Aim-9b and AIm-9p confused because those sound really similar, despite their vast performance differences

@stuffiuploaded5473 Год назад

@finleybodle6360 The AIM-9P is a short-range missile with a good G-Overload The AIM-9B is the first missile most players get and is regarded as one of the worst misses in the game

@mab2187 2 года назад

9:35 fun fact, the Swift F7 can use its radar gun sight to guide the beam missile, when in range the sight will auto-lock the first proper target (be careful with allies in the sight), i.e. the Firestreak will auto-track the target thats in the locked cone.

@TimsVariety 2 года назад

So - funny you mention that. Its a longer topic, but I have confirmation there are multiple open bug reports regarding the behavior of the Firestreak. Sometimes having the radar range-finder on will count as a "lock" on the missile itself, and send it flying off in a random direction, sometimes it seems to do nothing, and sometimes it behaves as you mentioned and makes aiming almost trivial. Since the in-game functionality doesn't seem to be consistent, and I didn't want to sit on this vid for a month or two while the devs sort it out, I decided to mention the **intended** functionality.

@davispeterson1876 2 года назад

It's worth noting that even air to ground ARMs have occasionally been used as air to air weapons (although the first example that comes to mind was actually an accident/blue on blue incident)

@jameson1239 2 года назад

The F-15 killing a helicopter with a laser guided bomb comes to mind

@davispeterson1876 2 года назад

@@jameson1239 pretty sure you can already do that in ground RB. The incident I was thinking of was the time a group of Hornets were flying SEAD for some B-52s, and one of their HARMs decided to go after the radar rangefinder on one of the BUFF's tailguns.

For the 2nd flight phase of a ARH missile i have heard it has been referred as "Pitbull" that is when the missile turns on it's internal radar and hunts down it's prey that way, so it no longer needs the aircraft radar to guide it.

Great video Tim! I was wondering if you could perhaps make a video series covering all the missiles in each respective country (all the different missiles in USA, USSR, GER, etc.) I feel like this would be good since there's some missiles that are pretty different but the stat cards don't make them obvious, and it would be nice to hear your input on each missile individually. I know this would be a pretty long series, but it if you ever run out of ideas for content or just need to put out some videos it could be a decent move. Keep making the great content!

@thecowboyfromcali Год назад

MCLOS missiles like the AA-20 Nord are some of the best lower-BR helicopter/drone killers out there. It also is really easy to use something like the G91 to take out a large amount of predator drones, in the event of an uptier, as the base AIM-9B don't track drones well. Harder to use, but MUCH easier to target those specific scenarios. It's also a head-on monster in air RB, for anyone who gets a little greedy on initial contact. You can pretty effectively shoot this 3km+ out if you see someone turn towards you. This specific missile doesn't leave a super big trail either, as it's a slow burning cruiser style missile, making it almost impossible to spot unless you visually see the launch off the aircraft

@TeufelHunden55 Год назад

@theScottishKoala 2 года назад

Worth mentioning. You do not need a "fire air to air missile" keybind if you just use the "fire secondary weapons" keybind instead. Helps consolidate controls when you only need a single key to drop bombs, fire rockets, or launch different types of air to air and/or air to ground missiles, just depending on which you have selected at any one time. The controls menu will still warn you that you don't have a firing key bound though, so I just set it to something obscure like Alt + Num7 or something and JUST use the fire secondary weapons key

@theScottishKoala 2 года назад

Slight correction - none of our current all-aspect IR missiles can see a target coming DIRECTLY at you, so you can't use them in fully front-aspect shots like you could a radar guided missile for example. They can see targets at much closer to frontal angles, but not directly nose-on. Also worth mentioning - uncaged seekers allow you to LEAD missiles in the same way you'd lead guns, giving the missile a much shallower curve it has to follow to hit a turning target. Point the missile as far in the direction the enemy is flying as you can before firing Other than that, fantastic guide as always!

I wish they'd add missile callouts, preferably automatic ones. Like automatic callouts in general would be nice like if a tank spots an enemy it will automatically call out type, heading and rough distance. Same with missiles to warn friendlies. A few games have this now, its pretty much the only interesting feature in bf 2042 which also mentions if an enemy is near a landmark.

@julianviefers6703 2 года назад

You can avoid friendly fire with Phoenix missiles by hard locking your desired target it usually helps the Phoenix lock that specific and none else. Not fool proof but minimizes risks

@281cu6 Год назад

You would normally only keep the lock at the edge of your radar's gimbal limit so you can defensively crank. Then you would break lock when the active radar missile goes pitbull.

@cringepog2758 2 года назад

Passive radar homing and anti radiation missiles work on different methods. Passive radar relies on radar reflections of other radar systems to get a lock. The advantages to this is a firing aircraft does not need to illuminate the target with the radar but must use the signals of others. Anti radiation directly locks a radar emitter. Unlike passive radar, it will only lock the emitter effectively, not the reflections

@omegazeta 2 года назад

Missed the fact that SACLOS missiles track on things like gun radar as-well, very useful functional for headons because it allows for turning off target slightly

@julianviefers6703 2 года назад

The Phoenix missiles go pitbull (it's own radar takes over) at 16km (the lock range is the stat card indicator for this) or less to the target at this point its independent from your datalink you can turn tail and run. That being said if it isn't a furball you can run if it's 20km and it has a good chance to find the target unless it made drastic changes of direction

@The2flame Год назад

For anyone starting to get the aim-9b in the usa tech tree, my biggest advice for you is to fire them at planes that are out of "energy" as in they just made a big turn and they're flying really really slow. The reason i say that is because the IR tracker in the aim-9b can be lost by simply turning fast enough so if a jet is going under 600km/h ish, they can't just turn away from your missiles.
