Quick question regarding notch-angles: Why does the notch-gate become so incredibly big high up in the sky? I have missiles which come 45° at the target according to the radar screen (0° being exact front and 90° being exact side) and go for chaff above 6000 meters and sky being in the background. Datalink is of course ignored in these cases anyway.
Notch angles dont actually change, but in lookup scenarios, the radars MLC filter shuts off, which renders it succeptible to chaff (it still has other gates that are supposed to handle that to some degree tho, but they seem to have mixed effectivness in-game)
Thanks for the answer. I now have my answer why spawn camping high alt circlers in Su-30s and Rafales can butcher the whole team in an extremely short amount of time in arcade with no chance of retaliation for you… Your missiles don’t work in lookup while trying to get to their height earns you a missile to the face and multipathing isn’t an option because of the near vertical attack angle of their missiles. Also I can tell you: The “other gates” of the AIM-120 (no matter the version) are plain useless in a lookup scenario.
Hello, IRIS-T and AIM-9X
What are you trying to imply here?
that the brit EF could get IRIS-T and 9X.
IRIS-T has always been on the table tho soo idk
So does that mean F-15 can get IRIST and F-16 get ASRAAM and IRIST? Nice
🙆♂️
Not exactly automatic 🫠
Yep, just look at the Phantoms and Tornados
Tldr Hosbso bombs are coming to the efts.
No promises for all nations. But my guess
Looking at HOSBO so far and other stuff, I say its only for the German one
How does a HOSBSO compare to a SPICE?
1000lb, not 250lb, larger, probably better seeker and range
Eh, wouldnt bet on the better seeker.
Would need to look at datamines.
Essentialy it will be bigger bombs but fewer
photos of them have them on different pylons to spice so if nothing else the number of self guided munitions goes up
Ye, from 8 (Spice) you can atleast go up to 10(8x Spice, 2x HOSBO) if we would only get the outer pylon
So happy to finally have our proper VWS back and im running RCSM now too.
Come on devs, make it a good dev season, fix the cockpit.
