AAM-3:
AIM-7s are obviously not the best missiles
But they’re good enough
track memory is an inertial based system that cannot cope with maneuvering targets, and i’m already going to be maneuvering when notching an R-27ER because i don’t feel like getting hit with an IOG missile with a nuke warhead
i guess if you are ARB enthusiast it would be workable?
i don’t and the only thing i am able to work with is the aam-3, and that is after evading the ARM spam and somehow still alive in the merge
i doubt even @Xeno_quaza knows all the ins and outs of the J/APG-2 radar with how secretive it is lol
but i wish we can simplify like that, but nah. gaijin is gaijin.
You’re NOT notching an R-27ER that has been launched to you from 10km range
i am.
not entirely true, it works more like few fake degrees of radal gimball
look, just because you’re bad at the game, doesn’t mean i am too.
nah that was sidelobing
Are you doing BVR?
I assure you that was TRK MEM but I wasnt recording it live. Also notice that my radar cone is nowhere near the enemy.
No, it absolutely can hit manouvering targets.
It isn’t inertia based
literally none of what you said here disqualifies that clip from being a sidelobe guided AIM-7
Thats TRK MEM.
track memory is a system that works based on IOG to remember where a target is if the lock fades or breaks for a moment to allow for automatic and seamless re-acquisition, i don’t know what you think track memory actually is but it certainly isn’t that.
your awfully confident despite the recent incident in the F-6C thread.
Why was it sidelobe guided AIM-7? What qualifies it as such?
track memory points the radar at the last known position of the target, or atleast tries to because the target is outside of the gimbal limit. sparrow still hits, because the target was being illuminated by sidelobes.
have warthunder players all forgotten what sidelobing even is
i invite you to play a few matches in an F-4E and see how 7E-2s nail people despite your radar being chaffed and not pointing at the target.
dont know whats that supposed th mean
surviving anti radiation missile spam sounds extremely easy to do as we dont have any in game :P
not to be pedantic but we do have ARMs ingame, they’re not present on any usable vehicle though.
Again
The sidelobe still has to happen WITHIN the gimball limit.
The shot in video was beyond that gimball limit.
