AMRAAMs Are here!? First impressions and feedback. 

Fully with you on the 8v8. If they're still wanting more players, I'd be willing to flex to 10v10, but any more than that is just too much. Can't wait to see the monsters these missiles become with the guidance and model re-works that are coming in the future. Super night doppler gates, great rear-aspect tracking, long range, and cracked agility are going to make these missiles META re-defining.

Heads up, SPO-15 display on the SU-27 in dev server works in cockpit now.

While i welcome FOX-3, i think it should be added alongside something much more important - ECM We already have several ECM-equipped planes, like the F-104S ASA which IRL goes so far as to even remove the proper RWR for a full on ECM suite.

Honestly, we don't need 8v8, we need RBEC. These missiles are so much deadlier and more unforgiving than even IRCCM-equipped IR missiles that they're simply not going to be fun in a no-respawn deathmatch, no matter the player count.

The situation of the AIM-120 "going to space" it seems they are modeled relatively realistically, because it is a missile to be llauched from 30-55 thousands feet and with a range of 60-100 miles depending the environmental conditions and the quality of the missile lock. This is the case for all these Fox 3 missiles, since they are all made to be launched from high altitudes and very long ranges. Because of this, if they loose lock, they will often go up and use theor radar's look up and look down functions in an attempt to regain lock with their internal radars. Because of this they are almost always useless at closer ranges. That's what Sidewinders and Sparrows are for. Even so, launching most series of the AIM-9 Sidewinder, or any series of the AIM-7 Sparrow, and their foreign counterparts, from a position near the ground and vey close range, in real life, would result on the missile missing the target most of the times. Because in the case of the heat seeking missiles there will be a fair amount of hot signals from the ground that could confuse the heatseeking head, when it isn't fired from behind. And in the case of the Active and Semi Homing Missiles they would have a hard time acquiring a lock and being guided to the target, because there would be a lot of interference of terrain and other things. So in both case unless you have versions with more modern all aspect heatseeking or radar homing heads that are more resistant to counter measures and ground clutter, in real life they would simply miss the target. Also, there's a minimum range and altitude in which launching these missiles are both safe and effective, to Active and Semi-Active Radar missiles their minimum range are usually 3-4 miles and a maximum range around 20-40 miles, depending the battle's environment, and the the altitudes they are optimized be launched and have peak performance is around 15-55,000 feet. Heatseeker Missiles usualy have a minimum safe launching between 1-2 miles, and a maximum range between 4 and 12 miles, from launching altitudes ranging from 1,500-30,000 feet. So if the missiles were molded really realistic, the way people pilot in Air RB would often result in either failure or the plane getting hit by the at least some of the blast of their own missiles. Gainiin will probably nerd the Fox 3s, like they did with Fox 1s and Fox2s to suit the crazy and unrealistic fighting style of their game base wich is more skim to WWII style dogfignts, but with missiles and and Supersonic planes. Which is a dar cry from a realistic dogfight between modern fighters which is entirely based on hitting the enemy with a missile launched from BVR. The last time there was a gun kill involving two fixed wing aircraft was in the early days of the Vietnam War, since them, air to air gun kills only happened on Helicopters dogfight, even so the last time it happened was more than 2 decades ago.

As a flaming cliffs enjoyer I'm just happy I don't have to use the aim 7 anymore

Shoutout to my homie growlincumwinda, gotta be the most fire wt name I've seen.

We desperately need a team size reduction at the upper tiers.

6:03 J-8F isn't only exception: MiG-29SMT also has "unregular" loadout - 2x R-77, 2x R-73 and 2x R-27ER

the satellite missile issue is also on the amraam, pl12, and derby/r darter (pretty much the same missile in the game) but from my testing, I was able to get a 66km snipe with the amraam, while lucky it maintain its tracking for that long, it was the only missile i was able to fire at such a long distance and never really got another chance at a 65km+ snipe with any other missile

Amazing video man haha idk what that sound was xD that was the most fun I've ever had in a Dev server tbh it was more fun then the release version can't wait to see these in game I am grinding for the mirage rn haha

Donut id appreciate if you stopped hurling me at your enemys

this channel is so damn underrated.

That's because the F-16C Block never used AIM-120A's they only use the AIM-120B and C models

They need to remove the exaggerated multi path propagation so flying low doesn't give invincibility to radar missiles, it's too arcade otherwise, ymmv tho.

Less players per team and a bigger BR decompressions!! Should we stimulate them again to do this game better?🤔

Aye Brothebones23 1:11 my man!

The RWR if the F-4F ICE is actually very good and would be able to seperate Aircraft radars and missile radars like all the other RWRs.

Totally agreed all counts (Rank IV player here) Edit - They also need area ECM, GCI/AWACS and anti radiation missiles for SAM suppression

Honestly, people would be better off playing DCS at this point, especially since the vehicles are now going to be cheaper than the newer WT premiums lol

Nice, Ty for explaining. Ps, could you do short video about Magic 2 buff. I play mainly France and would like to hear about that more. (I have do storage for devserver to see my it myself)

After i grind jh7a. Should i go for j11 or f16 mlu? (Imagine if gaijin left j8f at 11.7 with fox 3's💀)

I like and want 16V16 but this requires proper maps. Current maps are more suited to 8V8-12V12, but the late jet furball is really not fun.

Please new guide on f4 phantoms🙏

Would love dcs videos from you

Erm, actually, the pl12 has it's own model ☝️🤓

Donut, Asked on other youtubers videos no response, but do you think theyll implement MADDOG functionality into these missiles to allow us to fire them without even touching a single radar keybind

But we have allready fox-3's in the game, AIM-54 Phoenix on the f-14 why doesn't it built on those?

Radar guidance system is backkkkk, it move to where it isn't to where it is !!!!!!!

i can agree but i think the mica has a pretty shitty seeker rn it goes for chaff way to easely

why no 104 yet :(

1:23 My proudest moment.

12:38 the F-4F ICE got an APG-65 radar (same as on the F-18), did they not get an upgraded RWR too?

"Growling Sidewinder server" 💀💀💀💀

I was thinking more 4v4

4v4 mode with no scouting system when

32v32 like BF when?

Should the modern arh missiles lose track when planes are low to the ground ? Or is it a gameplay decision by gajin ?

I can already see the huge mass of US mains climbing and spamming these at the start of the match. Except they won't be in an F-14 anymore...

Russia should not receive the r77 unless on early 2010s aircraft as the r77-1. R77 was only exported under the name rvv for over a decade after it was introduced, the new Russian government could not afford it. Hell, they still cant afford it, thats why they are still using the r27er primarily…

mig-21 and F-4 families will be here?

16VS16 is not fun at all, 8vs8 is fun, I'm.hoping they apply this to all top tier game modes, simulator included, since unlike rb where if you die, u die, in sim, if you die and respawn, they get closer to your airfields and you can very well guess what will happen, yup, once you take off there is already a fox 3 heading towards you and you have 15 seconds to defend or pray that they didn't time it right and the moment wheels are up, your dead, the spam wouldn't be fun at all, so 8vs8 in sim, and rb should be forced, for top tier areas.

Will there be aim120 for the Japanese F15J?

I’m hoping the issue with multi-pathing is corrected. If hugging the ground worked as well irl as it does in game, then they’d do it irl, but they don’t. IIRC, modern missiles like what we’re seeing now are only fooled if you’re dangerously close to the ground, like 10ft close, which at that point if you don’t impact the ground I’m honestly more impressed on that front. I would like to see ground hugging become a thing of the past.

There is no such thing as a friendly AMRAAM. Given the track record with french missiles, MICA EM will be fixed... in 1 or 2 years maybe.

US mains all around the globe are cooming collectively

Sooo it's going to be the grippen Aim-9m spamming meta we've been having since last update, but with longer range and even harder to dodge...

It's time to turn off enemies being spotted for teamates, as well as lower player counts

16 v 16 really isn't a problem it's how we have one spawn point all objectives is a tiny area and there is no incentive to use most of the map like Afghanistan why would you flank if the enemy spawns in the middle and you spawn in the middle why would you go anywhere else even corners of the map would work better than what we have right now

Yea we really need 8v8 or 10v10 not more and pls not less cause if they do it like a lot of fatuous kids say 6v6 would suck sooooo haaaaaard

Lowering the player count wont do anything but increase the amount of games u don't even get a kill

everyone clickbaiting so hard, they are not gonna be "here" for a couple months...

They should remove multipath for all these new advanced seeker head fox3 making a real change forcing players to learn how to go high and fast respect the mar maintaining gimble limit or it doesn't matter if its fox3 or fox1 everyone will just rush in and hug the deck nothing will ever change basically simplified DCS or at least remove spotting system missile red square thing but I do get it most player are you smooth brainer that pay a shitload of money once they find out they have to actually learn something byebye gaijin main revenue sad reality tbh

I love how this Fox 3 mechanic has come to Warthunder’s DEV server, like what… 3 days ago? and you are angrily complaining people don’t know how to use them. Not everyone wanks off to planes and DCS in their free time.

Nah crash on take off with that 8v8 crap that’s way to low people gona look at the board see a 4 stack squad on enemy team and just leave then you’ll have 8v6 or 5 very quickly then the match over in about 3.2 nano seconds

Can I correct something?? You can start calling the R-77 either A. Soviet or B. Ukranian They were Designed and Mass Produced in the Ukranian SSR. I am not going to call it Russian.

*"AMRAAM: THE GREAT EQUALIZER"* 😎🤟 16v16 ftw Realism, and more players = more fun Less players = unrealistic low pop boring disaster 😴
