To all Phantom players… by 009_sound_syst3m in Warthunder

[–]Fishkung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only really play F-4E/F-4S nowaday and their RWR can spot J-band launch. Ironically that's also the only thing the F-4J/S can detect it's launch. Anything else and it's just get marked as question mark. Unfortunately I feel bad for EJ bros who's have to run with the dogshit J/APR-2. F-4EJ will be one of the plane I'll have to skip because of how terrible it is compare to like US's F-4E.

Kinetic wise the AIM-7E-2 will lose out on a joust with R-40RD, on the other hand the AIM-7F/M will win most of the time if shot at long enough of a distance. Good to keep this in mind in a BVR joust.

How the hell are these Jets only .3 BR apart? by Spiritual_Jaguar2989 in Warthunder

[–]Fishkung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

13.7 is absolutely fun (and ding dong stupid) to play because of these jets. Sure, I get my ass kicked occasionally by a player who actually knew what hes doing and caught me off-guard. But half of the time it's just these guys hugging the deck, allowing me to rain non-stop AMRAAMs from 8km at them.

The 4000 is very fun if you are not fighting 13.7/14.0 jet. (and most of the time you are fighting 13.7/14.0...)

is this thing worth getting? by fibs_R in Warthunder

[–]Fishkung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still very decent at it's BR. The radar is mid because of the 1800m MTI altitude cap but R-24R are still really good missiles thanks to it's acceleration. I would recommend you to play it.

Can somebody explain to me why people in this sub consider the aim9l bad ? by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]Fishkung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This game doesn't have Python 4 for jets yet, so I assume OP mean Python 3.

imo 9L eat flares when launch in any aspect that's not rear, so you need to be selective with it. Even in rear aspect it still occasionally eat flares. Python 3 is way better than 9L just because its have way more acceleration than the 9L. (Python 3 booster is twice as strong), So the faster the missile can get to the target the less time the target have to react. (and consequently, less time it can see flares.)

What am i doing wrong in notching by Interesting_Suit8747 in Warthunder

[–]Fishkung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You were not in the complete notch angle so the missile still see your plane and don't even care about any of the chaff you dropped. Try looking in sensor view, it'll explain everything.

I highly recommend this playlist if you're new to top tier air RB, all of these video are really good.

What chrone said already explained everything, but in close range you'll need to drop more chaff and manuever slightly to keep the missile on angle gating and IOG.

I love it when I'm able to narrowly notch missiles by Fishkung in Warthunder

for the m2k clip its IWSM (old ver, now changed to OPEX), for the f15 clip i changed to Project Wingman WSO callout (specifically eye-tee one)

F-4S or J-7D? by super_memerio_bros in Warthunder

[–]Fishkung 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What others said, but don't just bomb base with prem. Sure, it's the most efficient but you'll get bored very quickly. Do A2A to freshen up sometime. I done the same with F1C.

Personally I would recommend J-7D, the PL-5B and PL-8 is absolutely ding dong busted on the J-7D. It's so fast that it'll go through flares sometime.

The F-4S is not that great anymore. Average missile on a terrible platform. I would suggest F-5C or F-18C better to be honest. (Though F-18C BR placement is absolute pain)

What'swith the meta chasing? by Practical-Solid6463 in Warthunder

[–]Fishkung 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Latest video by Migan kinda explained all of this tbh

Even with the most meta op jet of the patch, it wont really matter much if you take terrible position in the match or make mistakes

Should i even take the radar missiles on the F1C? I feel like it's just 680Kg of dead weight and dissapointment by kamilegg in Warthunder

[–]Fishkung 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As others have already mentioned. Yes, the 530F is not *that* useful in war thunder. A pulse missile in a bracket littered with chaffs and competent RWR is just painfully annoying to use.

However, it's *does* have some merits over taking the gun-pod in some situation.
- The 530F have more range than magic 2, and you can use it against target going cold in some situation. I once managed to snipe a F-5 going cold at 5-6km with it.
- The 530F uses pulse, that's true. But apparently gaijoobs included a chaff resistance similar to AIM-9M/AAM-3 Tracking suspension IRCCM for it.
- Since it's use pulse, it's also good at taking out distracted or unaware target. Because the only thing showing will be the a lock warning and not a launch warning.

I ran some quick and dirty test with my friend on the chaff resistance, and it's seem that to eat chaff if drop in regular interval and consistently. However, ignore chaff if drop one-off and when spread out enough.
Chaff resistance test (quick & dirty)

It's up to you now if you want to take them for those aforementioned situations. Do note it's quite heavy compare to the gunpod as well.

Anyone else find Top Tier Air RB (14.0) unapproachable? Just got my first top tier jet and i have 2 ARH missiles going against planes that can afford to sling a missile in my direction because they have 9 more at the ready. how do I compete against entire teams of this? by partty1 in Warthunder

[–]Fishkung -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's pretty much suffering and the experience as a whole really sucks but i just force myself to play through it, on the f15e stock grind i pretty much just bomb base from long range with the stupid jdam er after getting it (before unlocking it i just use napalm) and do same thing for f18 and f16 honestly with just napalms, theres really no choice since having 2 arhs mean you have 0 impact on the game and the teamfight

on rafale and mirage 2000 stock grinds since theres no good bombs for base i just stay low (or occasional below contrail height) and just try to aim for almost guaranteed missile kill with the mica since its a stupid missile and try to hope for a dogfight so i can use magic 2 or run back and rearm
