On my to do list is a proper radar guide because there is a lot of little things like that that people oftne miss. Like on the right hand side is a range indicator (top little line is the max range of the missile, bottom little line is the min range and the long line is the relative decent the target is currently). So if the long line is between those 2 points (and ideally in the bottom half ish) you’ll probably connect unless defeated

I know about range indicator, but I totally ignored the left hand side part. At least now I have a reason to fly the fgr2 in sim. i’m not a phantom fan, but I enjoyed a lot flying the tornado adv in the Italian tree. SuperTEMP are simply amazing in short range, better than IR i would say
The Tornado ADV is a lot fun these days, just needs a little TLC
It works way better than what you’d think within 1-2km. People may chaff and your radar will lock the chaff but the missile will still track reliably.
When the br bracket is 12.0/12.3 max you dominate easily, the only drawback is fuel. Most of my deaths are because of that lol.
F3 and F3 late are the only reason I grinded back UK, but flying the FGR 2 is so depressing…
If you’re 1-2km away rear aspect you should be using your 9G, it will either easily ignore the flares on a full afterburning target, or have like a 40% chance of still ignoring flares if they cut burner on seeing you fire and once they’ve done that they’ve lost enough energy that you’re in gun range. So still a waste of a Skyflash.
Anyway, not the point of the thread.
Yeah, I quite often run out of fuel before missiles. Its really annoying the 495 gal Hindenburg tanks are still an F3 Late exclusive. Would be fun to run on the 12.0 ADVs and the IDSs
Yeah yeah of course the aim9g is preferable and radar shots shouldn’t be your goto, however when the enemy is pre-flaring well or simply attentive skyflashes work better than expected.
Keeping in line with the thread I gotta say FGR2 isn’t as rough as it sounds here, it can work just fine as a weaker 12.0. However it’s such a waste the FGR1 is a copy paste and not aim9l or superTEMP carrier.
I never had any problem with SRC if the enemy is high enough, not notching and doing multipath obviously. From less than 10km you can look from the rear perfectly fine in SRC and use the Skyflash
Youd be surprised how many people try to flare a SARH

No. Exact opposite. NOBODY uses src. EVERYBODY uses SRC PDN HDN

This is just from a 6 hour session tonight and only the ones where shadowplay hadnt deactivated itself. I thought i needed to launch the seeker looking directly at the target but ive gotten such a mixture of high offset hits and even slamdowns into multipath but then it misses a target 6km outfront in the sky ??
Sorry for necroing the thread but especially with the f15 coming down i think the f4junk either needs 11.7 or aim9l/skyflash supertemp. The british phantoms are left dead inwater without usable pd and only access to the gimped aim7e2 instead of an aim7m equivalent.
Maybe the upcoming BR compression with the f15 will push their stats down enough to go down into 11.7 or remind gaijin that they need supertemps

I LOVE spey phantoms but they are useless at 12.0 i agree that they need better weapons
