Just tried what everyone does in their videos and climb to like 5k, and then notch the incoming aim120’s.
Got hit in the tail and went down. It’s not like i dont know how to notch, i did it in DCS. It’s just there are way more missiles from way too many angles.
Download the OIAAIOAIA RWR sound mod it makes it 100x better
You get a personal DJ upon launches
Warthunder top tier is all made up shit anyways. Why not make other Fox 3s have something unique while sacrificing some aspects of the missile, not the current situations, where they are just worse?
Stop focusing on BVR man 😭. Rafale can’t do BVR as well as other planes. End of story. Focus on things it does well. Like dogfighting.
And Russia suffers immensely at top tier. Even though the R-77 should be equal to if not better than AMRAAM
Dogfights are a rare occurance in top tier
While its mostly pilot skill, the ef2k and f16 both are better at dogfighting than it.
It’s not about cannon dogfighting, it’s about short range fighting with missiles.
So the 2-3 guys who survived the first wave of missiles?
The people who are getting mopped up by f-15e’'s going mach 2 and slinging amraams at them while i barely get to see them on radar?
As I said, skill issue!
You are only talking about problems produced by the real problems we have in ARB.
Yeah honestly you’re right.
Don’t really know why im playing after 10k hours. Thought i’d be decent but i guess its time to put away the wallet and go play minecraft because this game is made for zoomers.
fly it like the Mirage 2k-5 then, peel off to the side of your teammates and climb to 5km while going left, try and stick to the clouds and use your amazing TWS to get an idea of the position of the enemy team, then try and oick off those who are attempting to go headon with your teammates (enemy players who fly low and off to their right) and once they get within 20 or so km and are attempting to multipath, giving your MICA ample chance to slam them since MICAs practically ignore MP.
Once you have picked off the outliers then you can either choose to stick at altitude or head to the deck to engage the furball, dodging fox-3s is easy in any top tier french jet due to the amazing avionics and chaff count paired with the MICA/HMD combo just makes them a joy to fly.
I’ve had everything except joy flying this piece of shit
For me, it’s:
-70% of the match hearing the RWR and evading missiles (I once evaded 13 missiles a few days ago).
-Finally decide to engage once there’s a few seconds where I’m not being spammed.
-Only 3 enemies alive now.
And then only three things can happen:
1- I am fortunate enough to get 1-2 kills before the match is over.
2- Match ends while I’m still flying in circles at the edge of the map getting ‘missile evasions’.
3- Un-notchable, un-chaffable, un-dodgeable MICA-EM (MICA-EM) -MICA-EM reduces my existence to atoms.
Honorable mention:
4- I finally fire my missiles, but all the enemies get killed before my missiles arrive and I just hit a falling wreck.
5- It is my team the one to be anihilated; so I just keep getting spammed till one of them gets me.
6- My AIM-120s keep losing track and getting charged while MICA-EMs travel across the multiverse to blow me up wherever I find myself to be no matter what I do to defend myself.
Wild take, although it would suit my playstyle more than whatever yours might be, I prefer to stay undetected and solo to prevent getting swarmed in my Mirage so it’s a lot of fun to slam people with MICAs
probably 2 of them are afk at their airbase, the others are actively dying being shot at by amraams
In my opinion top tier planes carrying 8+ missiles is a big problem which means people are getting actively handheld by their aircraft that can carry a full hangar of missiles on it’s wings.
People don’t care if their launch has a low probability of hit, they’ll do it anyways as they have more than half a dozen left, which amplifies the spam greatly.
Who would have thought that will happen when you have more than a 100 missiles ready to be fired at just 16 enemies.
Missile spam is annoying as all hell and missile count is the direct contributor to that problem.
It’s the exact same seeker as an AIM-120, people only complain about the MICA now because there’s more of them that they die to more often. Other than angle gating it’s the same missile as pre-Rafale.
Lol, lmao even.
Everyone missing the entire point because OP used a bad example
