By losing lock are you referring to losing lock by getting fooled by chaff, or would simply turning off your radar to lock again invalidate DL?
What? Where in the world did I suggest datalinking in TWS mode for Fox-1s

also, this isn’t the case for Fox-1s
you can regain DL at any point in time as long as the missile is in flight effectively, letting you relock anyone you want

Quite easy to do ngl
It can, its not the plane’s fault for pilot negligence
Not really if you know how to fly it, even then, AAM-3s dont have that high of immediate AOA, and if you cant aim the gun without a radar sight, thats your own problem
They very much can. I dont have a perfect K/D in the plane, but it’s quite possibly one of the easiest 13.0s to use, and one of very few planes that Sparrows are worthwhile on. If you know how to play your cards, the F-2 is a beast, and adding ARHs doesnt change that, infact it worsens you since youll be more focused on AMRAAM slinging than actual logic, and inevitably will just tank your stats with it and youll end up in the same place, in the same amount of time, just with a much higher amount of lost SL
I’d disagree, it’s a pretty difficult aircraft to do well in due to the bipolar matchmaker. Good plane, harsh environment
Agreed

I played it most often before the BR changes, and it still performs well imo, but in a vacuum of just 13.0 aircraft, its the best one in almost all factors except range (due to not having the AAM-4s), but before the Su-30MKKs, it was dominating in my experience, and yhe AAM-3s were practically free kills each match
im also very biased for it
It occurs to me that I said easiest tho
top 5 13.0 fighter btw

I am repeating what a lead radar developer of War Thunder has said.
A video cannot prove datalink exists for a SARH missile.
That video does not show datalink because it can’t, all it shows is a SARH switching to a different radar return, which is what all SARHs do because that’s the technology of SARH missiles.
@Kingskofi If you think stepanovich is not being truthful, go say that to him, not me.
bruh.
The video literally shows data link in motion but you claim it doesnt.

No, the video shows radar locking in motion.
So unless you have evidence that proves a game developer that works on radars in War Thunder wrong, I’m going to trust him and the datamines over randoms online.
Datalink is literally part of what guides R-27ERs
look in the game files dude
@MiGoon_Fox-3
Datalink for R-27ER is when another separate aircraft locks a target, and the launch aircraft launches the missile, the datalink between the two aircraft allow the R-27ER to take the radar return from the other aircraft.
THAT is not modeled in War Thunder.
The datalink on SARH statcards mean nothing, because there is no buddy locking in War Thunder to allow for the feature to be used.
The ONLY things on the statcard that are used is IOG and SARH. IOG lets it go to the last known position & velocity of the target without a lock.
SARH missiles always require a hard lock to function.
the relocking with solid lock is literally how the game models datalink for Fox-1s
that’s how it works here
@AlvisWisla you look at this and tell me if literally any Fox-1 that does not have DL can hit the second shot, the seeker is literally pointing away from the second AI man
