You did not
People fall for typical baits to get out of multipath altitude like this:
I’m trying to get a better example, as I didn’t save the replays that were a good example of dodging a pure frontal head on AIM-7E-2.
I myself dodged one a few matches ago from a kurnass, but the enemy wasn’t flying very fast so I didn’t count that as a good example
Sparrows on their own except for the Cs and Ds are much harder to roll dodge after the update.
From that video, it looks like the guy didnt bother trying to dodge at all except to spam cms.
All sparrows were buffed in roll, turn and drag.
CM’s have no effect against my radar unless he was notching, which it wasnt
They are harder yes, but still possible for 7E-2 and below
its even still possible for F/M if you are light enough
Might be, I expect you need something like an F-16?
I dont think so
I know early dev you could still roll them in an f16 with normal load if you rolled wide enough
but then they toned down the sparrow buff so you probably can roll them in a lot more airframes
Men close range It’s basically impossible
Long range is okay ( or slow )
I have rolled an AIM-7F once since the update, if I recall correctly. But it wasn’t launched at me in perfect conditions because the guy did an 180 before engaging me, so he must have launched it at like 800kph
You guys didn’t like the first video for some reason I can’t understand, so here is more proof that AIM-7E-2 are easily dodgeable at low altitudes.
For context, I was playing the Viggen J37C again, and no one was attempting to evade my sparrows. So I decided that it was I who needed to bait the sparrow to demonstrate that they are quite easily rollable. I hopped on a couple of 11.0 jets and hoped for uptiers.
Getting people to shoot me with sparrows was harder than I thought, despite me flying with aerobatic smoke the entire time.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B (longer-range sparrows are even less dangerous):
Exhibit C:
Exhibit D:
So if you guys can’t dodge these missiles, it’s more of a skill issue than anything else. At least with agile fighters.
And before you come saying these were not launched at a long enough range, at longer than 4-3km ranges the missile is even easier to evade because it starts losing even more speed at that point, and without speed it cannot sustain higher G loads.
In video B you can see me dodging a 6.5-7km sparrow, I didn’t even bother keep rolling till the end and the missile still failed to connect. So yeah, at longer than 4km ranges it is even easier.
These types of shots are your average sparrow launch since most of the sparrow carriers usually need to be below you to be able to lock, even then, I tried my best to face the missile head on when they were launched at me.
These are nowhere near good launches lmfao
O rly?
I purpousefully faced into the missile to give the enemy his best chance to hit me, still dodged.
Any shorter ranges and the missile would not reach it’s optimal turning.
Any longer, like I showed in the Video B, and it’s even easier to dodge.
The launches cannot be top-down in most circumstances for most 7e2 carriers, regardless, they would still be dodgeable all the same.
The only way these cannot be dodged is at high altitude because the planes lose agility, and the missiles get faster.
Keep coping all you want.
You’re the one complaining but I’m the one coping? Interesting logic. Also, no one suggested these were undodgable. That was your problem.
Also… have you considered not uploading 50mb clips onto a forum? These take like, forever to load. You have youtube for that.
Complaining where? I provided examples proving it can be perfectly dodged. Is this a form of complaining?
It is you who feel attacked because I proved you wrong.
Take the L and stop misinforming people with your made-up beliefs
Any more complaints, your royalty? You just keep on nitpicking at anything you can find lmao
You were the one spazzing out about how it was “rollable” when in reality its just typical short range SARH being kinematically defeated.
You proved… nothing? None of these are sparrow rolls. You just bled them kinematically then call it a sparrow roll.
Ts guy is too good to upload to youtube lmfao
Take… the… L…
We’re done here.
The L is where you’re wrong, and everyone says you’re wrong, but you think you’re right?
Again, there’s no L for me to take nor anything for me to cope. I’m perfectly fine with how my sparrows work.
You having a misconception about what is or isn’t a sparrow roll isn’t my problem.
