There are only 6 flying bots per battle, which are still hard to get them all. It is exactly as I sated, all were players. You can count team score, 10(me) + 4(team) + 2(crushed) = 16:

It would make the F-14A relevant again at least LOL. The IRIAF is the only one that really has a point anymore and that’s entire because of the Fakour-90 being cracked.
That’s what I learned pretty quick, but even then I was still having issues here and there. I couldn’t even lock A-10s with the irst surprisingly. I had to be almost touching them.
I’m actually 12 kills and 13 deaths in sim with it right now. So it’s a bit bad for sim maybe?
I think I may bring more radar guided AAMs over IR ones, because they act like big R-60s
F-104s are also pretty crap
well their engines dont run very hot and they dont generate much aerodynamic heat
Nah it’s actually because they make such an unbearable noise that the irst can’t focus

But for an irst to have trouble directly behind an A-10, looking into his exhaust is odd no?
Hell I might’ve even clipped it
It will handle it better than flare-less, no RWR/ blind RWR does against it at present. Numerous jets suffer or mig25 does.
Being dunked by a missile you have no way of knowing its coming has already got old fast. Leave it for top tier
Yeah, I do not play high tier except for naval Bluewater . . . lol,
you pretty much just summarized why . . for me anyway.
So, I sold the MiG-25 and got these instead:
And still have 750 GE’s leftover . . . seems like a fair trade to me . . ☻

Or they could actually do a proper decompression and fix the problem rather than constantly shuffling it around

At 11.0, this has rendered the F104TAF with its radar missile completely useless. Out ranges the TAF and either I was blind, but one R40RD launched at me frontally didn’t trigger my RWR whatsoever.
The game is super buggy so sometimes it doesn’t trigger
I swear it feels like this game is beta even though it has over 10 years

Because AN/APR-25 can detect only E, G, I bands and Sapphire-25 is J-band.

Oh, that’s just super balanced
Well, yeah :D
I have a small question about the J band radar. According to the US report on belenko’s Mig-25, it’s smerch-A radar only used J band for radar range measurement backup (believed to be there to defeat range gate stealing ECM), as the angle tracking and missile guidance beam operated in the I band, so by warthunder standards they would be detected by most RWRs.
Don’t the saphir-23 (mig-23 ml) and 25 (mig-25pd) operate on a similar principle, or did they change it so that they only operate on J-band? The wikipedia article is a bit unclear, since the early saphir-23 apparently used a 9 GHz carrying frequency (I band), but it’s not specified for the later ones.
I doubt it was a mistake. Gajin really likes making radar on certain planes (particularly Russian ones by no coincidence) invisible to RWR for some reason : /
Maybe somebody know - how radar without PD only with src radar can easly lock on flying low plane 6 km bellow and running from mig 25? When i play f-14, mig 23 which have more radar modes it isn’t the same…
