Looks like multipath
Not at all, he was probably flying at 200m or higher, multipath only affects the missile course when it gets very near the impact location.
He didn’t notch properly either in relation to the missile. The missile lost track for a fraction of a second but that didn’t matter really

Its either mp or notch cuz the seeker issue come to effect in high of board shots not like that
I watched it again its clearly a notch

The missile was tracking him and did not switch to IOG/DL, he didn’t notch properly, the missile was leading too far in front of him and when he turned the other way around, the missile could not catch up/turn enough and flew behind him because of the overleading.
I saw it from the su-33 POV to confirm

The rac view is bugged
U can see clearly the seeker turning grey and he is in a notch
I have that video at 0.5x speed. The seeker turned gray and regained track very quickly, it would not impact the missile path by just losing the correct tracking for a fraction of a second. He did a panic spin while chaffing and that’s where the missile turned grey but since it was not a proper notch the missile kept tracking right after.
I posted the replay link there if you want to check it out Derby/R-Darter Over Leading Problem - Game Discussion / Realistic Battle - War Thunder — official forum
gaijin knows f-16i can use aim-120b.
they just don’t want to add it to it for some reason.

Again
The tac view is bugged
He ntched and and kept turning while the missile was on iog and yes it wasent for a long time but it was enough that the missile will “overlead” cuz the iog showed the enemy will keep going and not keep turning
This can happend to all fox 3 not just derby
Stanky plane.

Could be, but I never experience this kind of stuff with other missiles. They either get properly notched or they track fine.
Anyway, I’ll try to keep an eye on the replays the next time I find something weird

I didnt look at the video but did you keep track with tws or a a hard lock ? If no then yeah that can happen to pretty much any fox 3 missile
If yes you can blame it on the missile
But i cannot deny that the derby overleads a lot
After playing more matches this vehicle is worse in performance than the F16D Barak II. Do they really think this is worth of a 14.0 br? Either give it a different loadout, Buff the AIM 120 C-5 or move it down in br. I do better in full uptiers in the 13.3 br F16D Barak II.

I know I am flying it stock, but it flies like a F4E.

this are the stats for the month of september only (F-16I vs Rafale)
the difference between both jets ITS NASTY, the only solution for the SUFA to be competitive is by giving to it the missiles it should have Python-4 and AIM-120B, not even a 13.7 br would save this thing from getting constantly uptiers and keep suffering what is suffering right now, honestly i hope that the devs do something with this thing next major, there is no reason to keep holding the Python-4.

Yeah. It flies like a VW Bus. I know it’s better IRl or there is no way the IAF would still be using them. Especially with so many kitted out F-15s, F-35s and more.

Probably because irl it’s mostly used as a bomber against uncontested air space , not in an air to air role like it’s forced to in wt
No shit, it has 9x (to my remembrance) more drag than a 370gal tank and its additive fuel is useless given that its fuel consumption is beyond fucked.
It is missing its primary loadout and its flight model is incorrect. They shouldn’t have added it like this.

Well they cant add it with praimary loadout
Its 120d and python 5
