Hi! So, I finally researched the Fakour-90 Missile, and I would like to know more on how I can use it better against other enemy players. Thank you!
Utilize the Track While Scan (tws) function on you f14A’s radar launch at around 35-40km the higher the target the better
I usually look for the direction the bandit is flying towards and depending on that I just throw a Fakour-90 at their way, I usually try to keep one Fakour-90 in reserve so I can use it later in the match and I recommend bringing the Sedjil alongside it.
Keep your distance and stay high, look at your RWR and determine whether you should stay offensive or defensive and 90% of this will be from guesstimation - play smart and you’ll live.
Also don’t be afraid of range, I’ve gotten consistent 60km kills with the Fakour-90 whenever I play at the start of the match, it’s single-handedly the best BVR missile in-game without a doubt.
One good thing to know while using Fakours, and Track While Scan(TWS). If you change the scope scale to a narrow scale the radar beam becomes more focused. You will see this in Controls, Change Scope Scale. Narrow the scope scale, extend the range to 74km, and Ive consistently hit shots from around 50km. My previous personal records were with the r27ers. But using this method, Ive blown that away distance wise. Fire your Fakours, and then begin the process of however you notch, I dive down as fast as possible in a weave, and then turn away from the incoming enemy, going “cold”. This is a technique that has been successful for me, even when facing fox 3s. I wait until they are about 50km away, use select targets option and begin firing away, dive and get the hell out of Dodge, Good Luck Mate
