Took some time to actually play the AV-8B Plus on War Thunder right after launch... I gotta say it's pretty fun. It lacks in a few areas, but it is not slouch at all. Having the AMRAAMS make the biggest difference for this plane. While sitting at 12.3 BR it makes it especially interesting.

Update: checked the update notes and in game no data link on the AN/APG-68(V)7 radar (the radar in the AV-8B Plus)… so use TWS and Hard Lock for FOX 3’s on the AV-8B... use that info accordingly lol cause I'm braindead

@Eagle015 Месяц назад

My dad actually flew the AV-8B+ in Iraq, Afghanistan, and some countries in Africa during the 2000's and 2010's. He provided CAS for the friendly troops that he was covering. He had 5 confirmed kills and even still has a video of one of his AGM-65L mavericks hitting a dude standing by a truck in Iraq. He also had to help track a sidewinder that accidently went off the rails of one of his wingmen, long story short they never found it.

As I don’t play War Thunder, the extent of my knowledge of this stuff is Plane shoot missile from far away. (Also, what is multi pathing)

@KilaWestGaming Месяц назад

Multipathing is a side-effect of radars where the radar locks onto the reflection of a target off the ground.... meaning basically if u fly close enough to the ground missile wont hit u cause radar is gonna pick up the reflection instead of you basically

TWS still pings the enemy RWR but it does not tell the RWR that it is being tracked (There are limits on the angle RWR can detect radar pings). The enemy knows you are there but not that you are locking him.

@bypasslunaticsblade9226 Месяц назад

I'm late, but this is mainly a tip for anyone using the AV8 (or harrier if you're british). In order to effectively flare later ir missiles (aim 9e and beyond), drop engine power, as the AV8 at full engine power remains a stronger heat signature than your flares. Radar guided missiles are still a simple turn away from the aircraft and drop chaff, as in my experience, the radar can lock the chaff, but as long as you're the closer thing, the missile will keep going for you.

I just finished spading the harrier even though I did put a talisman on it. The early grind on a down tier I would recommend taking rocket pods and ground pounding.. it’s not as bad stock grinding this compared to a 13.0 with two 9m and not chaff like the F15C.

@BinaryKiller_Recoded Месяц назад

Yeah, the AV-8B+ was kind of a nightmare to get spaded, but... Once you get those 9M's, there is no way for the enemies to turn back around and get surprised when you slap them around like they are some super hard ice. The enemies will break once you got those 9M's, and when you get the 9M's, you will very easily get the 120A's, and thats when the grind becomes easy mode

@Darth_Wader07 Месяц назад

I urge you to reevaluate, there is a funny little thing you have to do to dodge amraams and fox 3 missiles, but this little harrier has the ability to insta notch all missiles by hovering, meaning you can just sit there and launch amraams at enemies while their missiles instantly lose lock

This thing is immune to fox 3’s. If in a hover you’re essentially notching them, so you can fire at the enemy and as long as they’re not using fox 1 or 2’s you should be fine.

Further education provided here: The 77 is bugged and getting a fix. Burn time is wrong and targeting is malfunctioning. Doesn't mean the 120 isn't better overall, but we have yet to get everything balanced right. A hopeful Russian main.

@jonathankuykendall7622 Месяц назад

I don't understand people saying fox 3s make the game skill-less. Before yea sure you could run radar missiles out of energy by cranking but now you actually have to defend missiles and you can't just be kind of close to the ground and be immune to any radar missile in game. Now more realistic tactics like flying high, cranking, notching are far more important so you actually have to learn to be good instead of just fly lower than the other guy and win.
