If the missile comes down with a high enough angle, then it will hit you on the way to hitting an MP Target. So if the Gripen was way above you, then the R-Darter had a good chance of striking you.
MP I find it most effective when something is at the same alt as you when the missile is fired at you. Everything else, best to notch
Yes of course, but most missiles come from a high aspect
I don’t really have an explanation other than what was already said, it could just be you’re unlucky lol
R-Darter was known for being very floaty as far as Fox 3s go. So there is that. Dunno, if you went over a dip in the ground you might’ve come out of multipathing.
Only other thing is, is your altimeter Barometric or Radar?
No, always below 60m, I use both altimeters but I’m talking about radar altimeter ofcourse
breh, who knows then.
Its going up in the next planned br changes atleast from the initial sheet
is funny how all gringos engage in trashtalk only to defend their opish plane. We are in 2025 an this plane is still destroying 11.7 br
Sounds like skill issue
the F14A is really not destroying 11.7, the F14A IRIAF is now 13.0
Definetly a skill issue. The only things I had sympathy for struggling against Aim-54s were things without RWRs, they’ve long since been moved out of sight of the F-14s, so if you are still getting “destroyed” by Aim-54s, then I would suggest changing your playstyle or reading up on how to defend against an ARH missile
Sure climb to 10k select target spam missles return to hangar and repeat so much skill needed.
If they are doing that, then they arent even supporting the shot, meaning its pitbulling from very long range.
If you cannot defeat an unsupported Aim-54 from long range, then I would seriously suggest changing your tactics.
You cannot succeed doing that with F14s anymore.
I never understood why folks struggle with the f14, its a slab of shit in reality, 6 x aim54 isnt even a certain kill and hasn’t been since about a month after the f14 was introduced
Mate if i, in sim a total plebiant can defeat fakours and such in a mirage f1 200 then anyone can…
It is not a difficult concept at all
If it was in folks in jets like the draken without a dann rwr then fair play…
But there is no excuse now to cry about it.
The issues between the chair n keyboard
Yep, I had sympathy for a few, like the J35XS which didnt have an RWR at all,. Maybe also a few like the Su-17? That had virtually no CMs, but since the F-14s have long since moved out of sight of those, it is just pure skill issue now.
Only thing I have some sympathy for now is the Viggen DI which has to deal with both a poor RWR and BOL chaff or the F-104S ASA which I think has a virtually no existant RWR
Yeah, In fact, I rarely see anyone using AIm-54 in SB, not a BR bracket I play often, but most of the time, I see them getting kills with their SARH when I do, though now its just pure F-18s
The chaffe i cant comment on but the rwr i can.
If you have a four quadrant rwr you can see where rougly a fakour or pheonix is coming from, and can effectively dodge it.
The aim54s just give too much away i think unless used sly af so a 3.5km alt launch bit drop do 2k and guide them in…
As it goes usually f14s dog me but thats with either guns or sparrows so its not an aim53 thing.
Thw f18s seem to he brainless from the few games.ive had, even headbutting matra 530Fs at 10 km
The Chaff is 1/4 the strength of regular chaff, drives me nuts in everything from the Tornado F3 to the Typhoon (totally fake nerf btw)
Yeah, still, given pretty much everyone else has digital RWRs that tell you exactly where to go, that does sound a tad rough.
That’s just US Premium players
Wondered why 500 odd in the F3 did shit all, never knew that btw so there you go.
The onle rwr i can see as an issue is the f104 which doesnt have visual, the resr give you at least a direction which if you know your rwr is a massive boon.
Even had a few 18A and 16As head butt them tbh man, the 530Fs in sim are actually where i got about half my f1 200 kills.
Not even joking theyre guff in arb but slowly learning sim shows folks just dotn pay attention!
