That is if your opponent is not smart enough or is overconfident to NOT hug the ground, then sure, you will get locks and kills
They don’t need to it’s saclos like tow missiles and the AI is an aim bot
Even if they’re flying low I manage to get them to go up by shooting and waiting until they go high enough for a lock while trying to dodge, I’d genuinely rather play the Phantom with 4 radar missiles than the Mig-23 in any configuration

Can someone explain how the Select Radar/IRST target to lock and Lock Radar/IRST on target work? I’ve watched some videos, but I’m completely new to jets, so it’s a bit overwhelming with all the new info.
I think I understand the beyond/within visual combat range, I’m using that mostly, the other two seem to do nothing when I press them :D
I’m playing the mig23 atm with r24rs. Is the radar just that finnicky or is it skill issue? :D Cause sometimes the radar will lock onto someone 9km away through a couple of other jets among all the ground clutter and sometimes it doesn’t want to lock on someone 5km away with just sky behind them
This lets you cycle through/switch between (automatically, if enabled, manually if not (which also uses a separate set of binds to help you do this)) targets in your radar or IRST view.
This lets you make your radar lock on to the selected target that you cycled/switch onto in the previous step^, which allows you to then fire your radar guided missiles.
Radar. But that’s to be expected of “early” radars. It is basically a prayer every time you turn it on.
(Also, I can’t say if its skill issue since I haven’t played that or similar jets in a while and well you’re new so that wouldn’t be nice)

Can we just vault the beam riding spaa, they are a nuissance, id rather go against more ircm spaa.
take the AA out and this mode becomes normal air RB

Nah I quite enjoy flying along and getting whacked without warning by one of those SPAAs.
S-300, Patriot, Buk, HAWK: What did I do???
As if people don’t complain about them too
I mean, since I’ve started playing I’ve only been killed once by any one of those (S-300…) and that was my bad for flying high and TikTok scrolling 😂
Seriously though. If you pay attention, notch and do whatever else to avoid them they’re not really a problem. It takes actual skill to get shot down by something ~80 km away.
In a turn of events that should surprise no one, they are still not fixed and operate like Chinese tanks in GRB. The event continues to be ARB with extra steps.
Also, to those who continually camp the bomber spawns, then complain that the match is taking forever, and they have to keep flying from the main airfield just to get shot down over and over. Yes, that is annoying me too. Please go back to seal clubbing in the greyhound or something. This is a limited time event with absolutely no bonus for shooting down the bomber, let everyone drop their one nuke and get their screenshot.
Or don’t. If your life is so sad you have to sit at 10k for an hour straight to get a tiny dopamine rush, you do you.
No because I like intercepting bombers

Don’t remove it just fix what saclos can see through

Yeah, they’re still quite overtuned

I don’t even mind that they fire on the move I just want the sight lines fixed
I’m not complaining.
Cause camping the bomber spawns is what gives data back to Gaijin on how to tune their ECM code to function the way they want it to.
Without that data, they’re running on incomplete information.

Balance changes can skew the data set but they also need enough data to work with (in terms of the ARMs) most people haven’t been using them or even tried to use them

I’ve used ARMs for some time now (using them in the match I’m in right now even) and in my experience they can be quite useless sometimes because they’ll end up being completely intercepted

You pretty much need to fire 2-3 at one target as they are right now
I wouldn’t mind needing to use that many if we had a faster way to rearm them, as of now it seems more useful to just go there yourself and gun them down
