How To Use Radar in War Thunder - In 10 Minutes or Less 

love the different type of content, great tutorial

Good tutorial. Doesn't overcomplicate with the uneccessary stuff.

Hey General Lee! Thank you for making this. I remember requesting this in one of your live streams so thank you bro❤

Thank you. This is short and to the point. Very useful.

That's why you should buy the F-5C

great vid lee!

i needed this so much ty!

Amazing guide thank you

Thanks for those tips, everyone has a different perspective of how to use the radar modes. I was using TWS on my F-14 for so long and I had a hard time in some situations. Though I use a Tartarus peripheral only to control manually my radar locks for it to be more useful

THANK YOU oh my GOD i needed this

Awesome vid Ty

Usefull info thanks lee

Brilliant

Thanks So Much!!!

If radar lock enemy, I see some video of other able to change target left to right vice versa without changing lock status. Is there a bind? so that I don't need to un-lock then re lock a new target and is it also a particular radar mode as well

Good tutorial, however, VERY IMPORTANT thing about the IFF: many planes, like the mig23 for example, DO NOT have IFF active when in MTI mode or pulse doppler, only when in search mode! People dont know this and it's one of the reason why betrayals in sim are so common

Great vid, to the point. Couldn't sit through the 30 minute crap found elsewhere.

I only run TWS radar on the F14, you can go from "soft-lock" to lock with 1 button while still keeping an eye on them. Nice Phoenix shots

Just discovered your channel keep the vids up been loving them

thanks for this vid

Thank you for this xoxoxoxo ❤❤

just thank you.. clear and simple.. been looking for something like this.. learned alot fast!!!!!!

New to the game was wondering can I setup my hotus one and keyboard and mouse on my series X with this game?

Thud in sim is rly fun with rockets and bombs you should try it when sim is in the right BR for F105

before i played DCS: uses the automatic target switching after i played dcs: i must manually select

Can't believe you did this to Jaek lmao

is there any possibilities you can make video guide on F14A? been trying to search things out for that plane but couldn't find anyone covering it up most are old videos.

IMO turning "Target cyclic switching of aircraft radar" off is more beneficial in WT's target-rich environments. It's absolutely better if there aren't a lot of targets to lock, but when the radar scope is filled with half a dozen to over a dozen targets, slowly cycling through each one can get REALLY annoying, especially since there's no way to select the previous target, meaning overshooting forces you to cycle through however many enemies in the radar scope AGAIN. But if you have TWS, using it gives you the best of both worlds: fast acquisition of exact targets AND an easy lock at the click of a button without having to "aim" the antenna on a moving target.

question: what are the three lines at the right edge of the radar screen when you have someone locked?

I never get and see locks (that green triangle around planes is what I mean by that. I think I am doing something wrong but I have no idea what... With SRC they are just supposed to pop up right?

these 2 verticle lines are NOT the part of ''enemy" designation on your radar, it means that an enemy is ''chosen'' to be targeted by your radar. An enemy ''signe'' is a simpe horizotal bar ONLY

Wait wait wait wait. I didn't know that was a option because I'd take out the F-4S and I'd be sitting at high altitude trying to make the radar be at my altitude and not looking down or up.. to get a radar lock and by the time I'd get it figured out I'd be dead... well going to doing more test flights now

i am on controller, and trying to figure out all the functions necessary for r27er. i am a little confused

The amount of F4Ss I see trying to flare an AIM7 without maneuvering Is saddening

I have a problem where I can look directly at an enemy in my MiG-29, the guy is within 20km, at altitude and *not* notching me, but I still can't see the person... Oh, but I can see everything around the person tho :D Like bots, and teammates. But just no enemies

I keep locking the wrong target. How do I switch targets? the switch target button doesnt work

Hey cool video. But how do I activate HMD mode? I played the F-4J for a few weeks but I could not find it.

thx mate this video helped me so much you are awesome

how do i add the missiles on the plane

Somehow my lock radar/irst isnt even locking on or even working at all to most targets in front of me even if Im right in front or behind them in the most ideal situations. Any idea why thats happening to most of my jets dude?

hey i saw in the video you didnt have to move the cursor on the radar to lock people how did you get it like that?

Listen how do I fire the missed once locked

Bro this dude Is such a yapper all I needed was 3:15 to 3:25

thanks man, found this on Reddit. good job 👍

Can someone tell me how to get my radar missles to lock for the yak 141 I can do it with the mig23ml but can’t for the yak

How about the radar on the j7e (even if it's not a proper radar) what does it do? I see most players turn it off so should I also turn it off?

I just unlocked the F4J and I can’t figure out what missle lock to use or how to even use it. I tried using the beyond range lock and it just didn’t track anyone and when I used ACM it just didn’t lock onto anyone. Maybe it’s time I quit I really wanted to get into top teir but this stuffs too complicated for me and it makes me sad because I can’t enjoy what I grinded for

I must be stupid. I still don't get it. F14-A w/ Aim7E and no matter what I try missles won't even try to lock let alone fire.

what's with the radar on the F-86F-25, it doesn't really do much?

I put my Skill Issue decal in the same spot on every plane.

im just here for the gameplay 😂

next please make a video on how to not lose your sanity while grinding

does the f14 get radar lag indicator?

Average Lee W Something I think that has to be said when explaining Pulse Doppler. Some people may have noticed PD HDN and PDV are a bit interesting, as instead of a target’s range being displayed, it reads off a target’s “speed”. This is NOT improperly modeled. The current radar modes we have (besides look down and MTI, so just SRC, PD, PDV, PD HDN) are differentiated by Pulse Repeat Frequency, or PRF. Low PRF is pulse mode. The radar transmits a wave, then only sends out another after a return is received. This allows for proper ranging of targets, however there isn’t enough information received by the radar to properly determine closure. Simply put, Low PRF has low range ambiguity, high pulse ambiguity. Just PD in War Thunder is modeled as medium PRF, which has a middle ground between low and high (which will be explained in just a bit). High PRF, or PD HDN and PDV in war Thunder, is different from low PRF because of, well, a higher PRF (shocking I know). In an oversimplified explanation, the radar constantly sends pulses, instead of waiting for a return. The constant returns allows the radar provide plentiful data for the radar to find closure, thus giving this mode a low Doppler ambiguity. However, the constant returns prevent the radar from properly finding a range from a target, as the radar cannot differentiate its own waves, thus it has a high range ambiguity. This high range ambiguity and low Doppler ambiguity is the reason why PD and PD HDN are displayed in closure; it just has more information about an aircraft’s closure than it does its range. So wait, what’s up with the big bar? Radars with some from of Pulse Doppler have a filter to avoid ground clutter. If a return has a closure within a certain closure range, the radar will filter it, considering it just ground clutter. This range is displayed in high PRF as the giant horizontal bar at the bottom.

I just want to make sure I understand. If I fire a phonix in TWS mode. Once I launch the missile I don't need to continue to keep my radar in the direction of my target. The phonix tracks by itself?

Was getting bodied every game unable to utilise my radar and then I watched your vid and got a 7 kill game with the aim 7e dogfight with the f14❤

with all the new buttons needed to be added, hot keys are getting scarce. and I am not one to use ctrl/alt combos (as they have functions on their own already as well). you almost need another full set of keys. and then remembering what is what can be VERY confusing like you are playing two games at once. one is a flight sim the other is a radar simulator. and all these terms are confusing I still don't understand what "notching" is. a simplified version of this video would be nice, even if 3-5 minutes longer some simple explanations as to what was just said would be great. this whole radar and firing from 40km out are HUGE reasons why I typically avoid playing above a certain BR. this reminds me of those "learn to play guitar for beginners" videos "this is an E cord, this is an D cord, this in a G cord , this is a F chord, now lets put those together and you get this"......... huh? WTF? people that do these things on a regular often forget that MOST PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND.....

i see you don't use vertical slew control for the radar would you touch on that please

bro only talked about the modern era radars.... WHAT ABOUT THE P-61 AND OTHER WW2 ONES? how do those work and whats the best way to use them?

maybe here is a right place to ask: With my F-14 I often have the problem, that my radar stays in ACQ-Mode like forever but is totally unable to lock any enemy even pointed directly towards it. Am I just too dumb to use it correctly or is this a bug? Also seems my RWR to be totally broken. I often get radarlocks from nearly everywhere. Once I got a lock from a friendly...wich was flying in front of be...into the same direction

I think you forgot about PDV

I swear I have no idea what to do

So tell me if i'm wrong it's better to use pulse doppler mode when you are close to the ground and the normal radar mode when you are high

The most annoying part is to learn the controls and figure out your button layout, when you get a hang of it its no longer pain.

Does IRST do anything? I would think it would help a heat seeker hold a target

how can i use switch Radar/IRST on target?

ty

How do I map this on a controller?

You lost me at radar, but based off of other comments it is probably because I am stupid

Unfortunately the F-4S really made top tier matched kinda shit

yes, but you're not telling me what to press after a soft lock nothing works i can only get locks with acm

I’m still confused about the switching targets with tws

dude i just bought the f4s phantom two days ago literally 😂😂

Ik how to use radar I’m just a loyal fan and will watch anyways.

hi everybody welcome back

Can you make a one for idiots😂 Bcz i dont get it

I’m very disappointed that I see a f14 loaded with phoenixes as the first frame of the video :(

How the fuck am i supposed to do this with only a dozen buttons on my xbox remote lol

Tbh im still confused 😅

Thank you for not explaining how to do anything your saying
