Idk about how much before, but they do usually show up in the playlist as an unlisted video beforehand. The playlist is currently at 12 unlisted videos if viewed in the browser

Actually warns you about some top tier SAMs like ADATS with radar off and has saved me from a KA-52 in GSB.

Also with Prox fuse Brimstone 2s, would give us a defence the other typhoons wouldn’t have against them

@Smin1080p_WT Sorry to bother you on this again but I have made reports for these but just out of curiosity what exactly constitutes as “F-4 late modifications”? I am assuming it means F-4’s with digital HUDs like the F-4S/EJ Kai/Kurnass 2000 but would the F-4F ICE also fall into this category considering it is quite literally a late modification?

Smin1080p_WT · May 28, 2025, 7:48pm

Im not sure in what context were are referring to here?

joshje100 · May 28, 2025, 7:49pm

Oh sorry I was talking about this

joshje100:

Back during Storm Warning the changelog said that many aircraft got radar tracked target markers added to them and amongst the listed was the J35XS and F-4 late modifications, but there actually isn’t any marker added to their HUDs. Was it just a typo or is something broken with them?

War Thunder "Storm Warning" - Changelog

A radar tracked target marker has been added to several HUDs. If the target is outside the HUD viewing zone (Target Locator Line), the target marker will remain at the edge of the HUD viewing zones and blink, indicating the direction to the target. Indication has been added for the following aircraft (as well as aircraft using similar HUDs): Su-27, MiG-29, Yak-141, F-16, F-15, F-14, F-20, F-5, Su-34, Mirage 2000/4000/F1, Super Etendard, J-8F, F-4 late modifications, J35XS, JA37.

The radar target lock boxes were said to have been added during Storm Warning for F-4 late modifications and the J35XS but were never present on release.

Against vikhrs it’s pretty useful, didn’t think about that. But I have a feeling it’s gonna become rather useless against SAMs pretty soon, now that they’re adding IR FnF SAMs. (Obviously it’s still gonna be relevant until everyone has an IR/RF SAM, but i don’t think that’s gonna be that long a time)
