This is why you have to shoot back at them, even if they can launch missiles at you while defending, if they have a missile coming at them, they won’t be able to go full after you. Btw you can use IRST lock to fire missiles near the notch (180° azimuth) by just locking with HMS IR and then swapping to TRK MEM PD to fire the missile.
I didn’t think I had to specify RWR warning for a missile launch, you ain’t notching just because someone’s detecting you in your RWR.
While in a match, select the MICA and look ateither the short horizontal line on the right of the radar that’s the highest or in the internal targeting pod the value in metres stated at the bottom, those 2 indicate the max. range the target can be hit at, the higher and faster you go, the larger this value will be, and the higher and faster the target is going, the larger the value becomes as well (assuming it’s going straight at you). The maximum range value on the statcards are pretty much useless, that’s just a number, that number is actually the maximum distance the missile can kinetically do. If you fire a MICA in rear aspect at a target 15 km away, it’s almost certainly never going to hit because the missile will make the 50 km while losing speed past ~7 km (more or less the distance it travels with the booster) before your target flying away from the missile gets hit by the missile itself.
It’s abstract, but you must know that the speed and max. range values on the statcards are pretty much useless, as they don’t mean “if the missile is fired from this range, it’s hitting its target”, it just means “this missile can travel this range”.
if you’re a newbie and don’t understand much said in that video, check the description for his earlier video where he does practical application in matches and such. that video from earlier is moreso a technical deep dive.
or watch this great video from migon fox 3 about close range notching

Thanks for the clips and vids you sent, you’ve actually been a huge help, my notching has gotten way better and the mirage feels a lot better to use. 😄

because finally somehow balanced it germany and others get ef with a normal radar…
glad to hear. I was just like you like a year ago as well.
imo, basically every plane actually becomes viable once you learn how to notch and you can do well in almost anything.
After that, it’s just perfecting that craft and slowly realizing what planes hold small advantages that enable them to be better objectively.
But in regular air rb? almost any plane can do well

Is that why, when the terminator was added, Russia immediately had the highest win rates at its BR?
Its almost as if the capabilities of a vehicle can be directly linked to the win rate if it ends up making it the single best vehicle within that BR range
In air maybe, I can’t argue against this too much, but hard disagree when it comes to ground.
Although I might be biased since multi nation players usually beat nation mains in general in terms of skill on the ground.
I also agree, Rafale is MASSIVELY underperforming
Literally the best in the BR. Pulling 15G like it’s nothing, easily notching every missile. You even have a very powerful Mica.

As a below average Rafailure, it’s fine. Leave it as it is, for now. It will be up when MICA NG/Meteor comes. Just wait, and it’ll still be top 5.
My guy, its still a AIM-120, its not even top 3 missiles of top tier

I dont know if youve been in a horrific car accident, in which case im so sorry for you, or you are just legally blind however, your “lowest missile count in the game” is 8. 8.
Pre-AESA typhoons they had maximum of 6 Fox 3 missiles, now they are… 8 (and previously max missile count was… 8, now, 10). The F16s including the currently new and “shiny” PoBit is 6. Every other F15 apart from GE has… you guessed it, 8.
Please, for the love of god and ALL that is holy on this world; stop. making. it. seem. like. the. system. is. against. you.
It is a completely normal amount of missiles for top tier.
worlds smallest violin plays in the background
disregarding the incessant crying for a meteor or MICA IR of all things, calling the hands down best medium-short range ARH in the entire game “bad” is actually hilarious. A missile with an incredibly good seeker and thrust vectoring on a more than good platform with completely normal amount of missiles… i genuinely dont know what to say.
its literally. the. same. as. C-5.
The GNSS barely makes a significant enough difference, at most on miss the missile will turn towards where the plane “should be” with absolutely 0 residual speed to do anything with and the seeker is effectively the same. Not any harder to notch than all the other amraams before it.
I know from the entire C5 getting added that people were crying about “C5 is in the game we need MICA NG/METEOR/R37M/ETC.” because in general, people see “different letter and number?!? that must mean that it is so much better” but it isnt.
C5 was at best a slight upgrade to A/B to BVR and in general a downgrade. Super slow acceleration and non existent HOBS (now buffed but its still not anything to write home about) with only mediocre increase to performance over A/B above 20 but realistically 40 kilometers. And still an easily defeat-able seeker head.
this is genuinely just a cope post.

Tiny correction. Rafale could take 8x Fox-3, Pre-AESA Typhoon could take 2+6 or ditch some Fox-3s for a greater number of Fox-2s, but 9/10 you were probably running 8 missiles.
Post-AESA Typhoon you can now run 2+8 for 10 missiles, which is the standard config i always run at the moment. (though granted, I finish 75% of matches with both 9Ms on the wing)
perhaps a quick tweak to wording to specify Fox-3s might be in order

the post is about MICAs, I assumed it would be self evident that im talking about fox 3s. I can edit it but I kinda expect people to have a common sens… never mind, i forgot where I am.

Out of those only R-77-1 brings actual flight model improvement over predecessor, while MICA is the only missile besides SAMs and Phoenixes with narrower seeker FoV for chaff rejection.
LWS on Teafighter sure is overpowered piece of tech.
