F4J Phantom II - It needs a BR drop

Because I’m shooting at sea level? I don’t get your issue.

In that video, the missile hit 2800km/h, and when it crossed the target, it was at 2700km/h.

Which means the missile was already bleeding some speed and if I launched it a bit later it would have even more energy. Regardless, I launched the missile very fast because the J37C is a fast platform, even at 3700km/h the missile could be easily evaded.

If I launched at a higher altitude differential (being much higher than the target), it would not be a good example, because:

1- Common AIM-7E-2 shots will be at the same altitude or below you
2- Only the viggen can typically shoot above you. But it is risking itself to someone else launching a SARH at it.

base in the video, the missile never exceeded Mach 3

It depends I can go high.

It’s impossible for the missile to reach its maximum speed at this altitude.

It will never reach mach3 unless you launch it at very high altitudes. Statcards aren’t representative of what happens in practice

it clearly says Mach 2.23 at 2718km/h

It was clearly a typo. What’s up with your salty attitude?

Salty ?You’re the one who made the same mistake three times, you’re trying to refute it with a mistake, and all you have is a bad example to claim that the AIM-7E-2 evadable rolling .

I posted a video, why would I be lying about the values on my video? It was a typo, I am doing a bunch of things at the same time, so I was typing very fast. Already corrected it.

Are you attempting to refute my point by pointing out my typo and calling me a liar?

No, I don’t need to. You only have one evidence that supports your position, and you’ve made so many mistakes before that, at this point, you’re the one who has to prove you’re right.

Why do you keep posting this? He didn’t even roll

Yeah that is not a sparrow roll and even pre nerf sparrows would hit you if all you did was pull towards the ground. He was not actively rolling while turning which is what sparrow rolling was. Otherwise known as a “barrel roll”

I told him, he think going up and down is a sparrow roll. He doesn’t understand that he launched a missile that takes two centuries to reach 20G at a distance of 3 km from the target.

You can also see the missile went dumb and isnt course correcting at all. If it was a sparrow roll it would miss by being too short on interception not by going in front of the aircraft

Let me put it this way:

The AIM-7E-2 is easy to avoid kinematically by rolling into different directions and pitching up at the same time.

Do you agree?

No

Ok then, nothing I can do to change your mind when I presented evidence to the contrary.

I don’t have to do anything,it’s just that you can’t tell new people what you said. You can think whatever you want, just don’t go spreading it around.

So, according to you, we must tell people that AIM-7E-2 isn’t easy to kinematically evade in a frontal shot?

At long distance AIM-7E-2 shots, you give your target either time to deplete the missile energy, or notch it.

At short ranges where the missile reaches its higher top speed to the target and higher sustained turn, it is still possible to kinematically dodge as long as you aren’t a subsonic fighter or something that isn’t agile.

At high altitudes, I agree that it is not possible to kinematically dodge when it is at high energy states, but that’s normal.

I wish I had the replays when I had plenty of mig-21’s and F-5’s dodging these missiles in better examples than the video I provided.

Lately I have been getting uptiers and I don’t face them as often, and most people don’t even try to roll and dodge.

It’s an excellent missile for your BR, but it has guidance delay limitations which can cause problems, if possible, always engage head-on or from a distance of 5 km to 10 km from the target.

Under 5 km, it’s more reliable

Btw, I’m trying to get someone to roll my sparrows as before, no “luck” till now. Just got a 10 player kill match and people just don’t know how to deal with them.

Maybe I need to try on the weekends because there are more veterans playing
