Also doesn't look that different than the 12 other vipers I have

i aint getting shi ๐Ÿฅ€

mossy marten
#

also yippeeee J-10C buffs

gusty sedge
#

EX would be ๐Ÿ”ฅ

fleet halo
#

yeah the only other option would be an aesa viper

#

which would go hard but also would be even more doa than the super hornet lol

gusty sedge
#

That would be an L as much as I am a viper stan

#

It would make sense from a balance pov though

fleet halo
#

I wonder if an aesa viper would ever even make it to war thunder before the 35A

fleet halo
eager sluice
#

samething

fleet halo
#

eh not really

#

but I wouldnt be surpised if gaijin adds the triple rack for balance/the lolz the same way they did for the golden eagle

#

new decal is kinda tuff

gusty sedge
real oak
#

yo give the gripen dual rack amraams

#

like 11 amraams ๐Ÿ™

fleet halo
#

that would prolly be a premium ngl

#

would fit in well at 13.3 lol

@gusty sedge allegedly a community manager mentioned only US top tier is getting 120D

#

US top tier will be so back if the 120D ends up being noticeably better + the EX

mossy marten
#

Ion even play top-tier US all the much

misty scaffold
#

F-15EX before F-22 is criminal tbh

#

Top tier is cancer anyways

#

we're at a weird point where 5th gen is hard and expensive enough to where a bunch of nations decided to just keep upgrading 4th gens while they take a minute to develop their own

#

plus raptor was just hella ahead of its time

gusty sedge

Someone call Rev

fleet halo
gusty sedge
#

200% they are gonna claim the clipped fins mean it has a g limit of 3.5g

fleet halo
#

does not bode well

#

I dont know how the motor performs compared to older models

gusty sedge
#

I think it's better

#

But it's not like that will help

fleet halo
#

if it has mica levels of tracking it may be goated

gusty sedge
#

I probably will but the micas area still very dogeable

#

It's just that they are extremely high acceleration

#

Which means you have no reaction time

fleet halo
gusty sedge
#

Glass half full type toptier lineup

fleet halo
#

especially over the course of hundreds of missile shots

misty scaffold
#

Don't the 120C and D have the same fins tho?

fleet halo
#

the C's are already less maunverable than the B's in war thunder because of the fins

#

so the D's being heavier with the same fins doesn't bode well

misty scaffold
#

This might have been right when Cs came out

#

idk if they changed the aero/performance

#

For straight-line shots on hot aspect targets, I'd expect the D to mog with the upgraded motor and better kinematic tuning

#

I just want my late E model Phantom

fleet halo
# misty scaffold

it's hard to use these type of comparisons because even a 1 second delay in firing the other missile can have a large effect on the final flight path

#

old video but this one fires both of them at the same time

#

the C5 has a better initial pull because it starts guiding a bit earlier

#

but over the flight path the B ends up out turning it

misty scaffold
#

Interesting

fleet halo
#

you can mess around with the missiles here but if you compare the C5 and the B while messing around with the target parameters you can notice how much more hobs the B is

real oak
#

aimb turn harder

fleet halo
#

although the improved hobs part is for an upgrade package of the D

real oak
#

aim 120 a -b turn better than the aim120 c5 -c7

misty scaffold
#

nutty

wintry copper
#

plus it's like a minor weight increase of <10lb

misty scaffold
gusty sedge
wintry copper
#

tis unfortunately how gsijin does it

#

hell their whole argument of stingers and mistrals being not as maneuverable as irl is "if igla can't, why can they?"

misty scaffold
#

Wild that 120Cs are 30 years old wtf

wintry copper
#

meh old missile is old tbh

#

even if 120Ds end up just increasing the range of the 120C (which, doubt) I don't think gaijin'd just drop a 120D alone without anything else along with it

misty scaffold
#

Everything that can carry a C can carry D right?

wintry copper
#

theoretically I don't see why it couldn't; counterpoint, did any nation that operates the eurofighter actually procure Ds?

#

additionally even if they did, that still leaves 3-6 nations without any match (depending on how liberally they give the nations AMRAAMs)

misty scaffold
#

The only nation that should realistically have 120D is US

#

At least initially

fleet halo
#

that was the most intense ace I ever had in war thunder ๐Ÿ˜ญ

gusty sedge
#

Ey yo new hornet edit?!

hushed rain
# fleet halo

no way we are gonna get fucking aim120d before we get an block 1 aim9x

#

its literally just a aim9m with thrustvectoring this is heartbreaking

misty scaffold
#

Better seeker too

fleet halo
#

yeah hopefully they're keepin 9x a surprise but I doubt it

misty scaffold
#

better HOBS, less drag

hushed rain
#

it has the same type of irccm and range

fleet halo
#

idk why they seem terrified of adding in the 9x when things like the mica-em and r-73 exists

hushed rain
#

well

#

range slightly better

#

but its like not that crazy to add

hushed rain
#

oh well i havent felt the urge to play war thunder in like 2 months

#

im breaking free of the curse

#

well

misty scaffold
#

I just feel like if 9X is ever added they'll have to redo the mod trees for top tier aircraft that carry it, and everyone is going to have to re-research their modifications, they did it with APKWS on the F-16, F/A-18C and F-15E. And that pisses me off

hushed rain
#

i started playing DCS

#

not sure how much better that is

toxic valley
#

๐Ÿ’€

misty scaffold
#

DCS is based, it's probably my top favorite flight sim of all time

#

(Mainly because it has planes I love to fly)
I just wish we had an F-20 and F-14D.

fleet halo
misty scaffold
#

Yeah, and they do occasionally give back some RP / SL if you already have it Spaded

#

I think they did that for the 120Cs on the Streagle

#

I honestly don't think 9X is going to change much, it's just a slightly better 9M like Kat said. My qualm with it is: what's the lowest BR aircraft it will be available on? Harrier? F-16A? Like, would I ever see it at 11.3 in my F-4E?
If so, that's bullshit

fleet halo
#

uh idk

#

green is near-guaranteed and yellow is probably up to gaijin based on how they're feeling (balance-wise)

hushed rain
fleet halo
#

most definitely

hushed rain
misty scaffold
#

I wonder if we'll ever see a T-50 or F/A-50 in the Japan or any other tech trees or as a premium

fleet halo
#

they've been carryin that jondle for ages

hushed rain
#

the f15e in DCS is like... a mix of block 1 and 2, aim9x testing started in 2017 for the f15e

misty scaffold
#

F-15E doesn't have blocks per se

#

Like the one in DCS Is the S4 iirc

fleet halo
#

but as far as war thunder is concerned, it can carry it imo

hushed rain
#

yeah probably lol

hushed rain
hushed rain
misty scaffold
#

The WT Streagle is a newer version of the Streagle since the DCS one doesn't have HMCS or the more modern features, (GBU-39 DAMMIT!)

hushed rain
#

didnt razbam say they were gonna make those features at some point too :(

#

the f15e is my DCS 9/11

#

please deka pleaseee give me the j10c or a newer block jeff

misty scaffold
fleet halo
misty scaffold
#

From what I remember, they started with the S4+ as their baseline, which is an early 2000s version iirc, and then were going to give us later upgraded thingies and more equips (JSOW, AGM-130, 9X, HMCS, etc)

#

we should maybe hop over to dcs chat to talk abt that tho

toxic valley
#

i can understand making up bs loadouts for make up for gaps in somethings balance or capability but what exactly does this accomplish on these airframes lol

#

i dont play ground rb so i dont know

fleet halo
#

Gripen E especially is wild cause of the amount it carries

#

the only thing that can beat it out would be an F-15EX with gbu-53s

#

but gaijin would never

#

I think even the F-15E can carry them now

mossy marten
#

Itโ€™s going to be the last 4th Gen until 5ths

toxic valley
#

The evil rape plane ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

You can give it super ultra kill you missiles all you like its still an F-15

nova crown
fleet halo
#

yeah it would have at least 16 amraam (22 if they include amber racks but that's unlikely) plus the 15E engines

#

well not the exact same engines as the 15E but iirc they produce roughly the same amount of thrust

#

so it can haul

#

irst isn't that useful in top tier imo other than occasional stealth missile lock but a model of the legion pod was found in datamines around the same time the super hornet came out so there's some potential that it can be a thing

formal sable

#

Sadly not -132s

toxic valley
#

Theyre gonna shoot 10 of them at the start that are gonna miss and then the other 2 are gonna miss

fleet halo

and ik amraams are dogged on a bunch but the ones already in game are more than capable at getting the job done

toxic valley
#

Well all the arhโ€™s are bad

The 120C-5โ€™s will hit anyone that doesnt do anything

real oak
#

evil ahh missile

toxic valley
#

Yeah its the best no doubt

#

I have yet to see it work but all its stats are good

real oak
#

and the rafale is js lowkey the best toptier rn too

toxic valley
#

If only rafale players could match the plane </3

#

Have they started surviving the opening 2 minutes yet

#

I suppose it could be they are also a priority target to shoot first at the opening

#

But how are you gonna die to bvr missiles ๐Ÿ˜ญ

real oak
#

krieger dropped 5 aces in a row with the rafale ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

and we had a 16+ game winstreak

toxic valley
#

Krieger isnt the average lobotomite war thunder player lol

If the 120Dโ€™s need a new evasion method tho top tier might be so back

fleet halo
#

the next 2 aircraft (at 14.0 and above) are the french mirage-2000 and the taiwain mirage-2000

but the mirages used to be second and third place

So fucking funny

#

Mica is great but r77-1 is probably the better missile

#

120D could be goated but may not be if gaijin is lame

fleet halo
hushed rain
#

not because i disagree but because thats a mica ir

gusty sedge
#

It's quite logical

#

a) everyone hates fr*nce ๐Ÿคฎ

#

b) the Rafale is and especially used to be extremely OP

#

That means a good chunk of the people spamming MICAs did the entire Fr*nce ๐Ÿคฎ grind just to get the rafale

#

And if you do that you tend to be ok at the game

#

Vs something like the Eurofighters are polluted with chuds that just play UK and Germany because they like the tree and the nation

Still has 9Ms

#

Britain got 120Ds before the us lmaooooo

fleet halo
#

dont think I'll ever run it tbh cause I just never really use irst in most matches when I have the option to

gusty sedge
#

Is it integrated with the bag?

#

This officially means that D models will be bad if they are handing them out like candy to a nation with the best EF

fleet halo
#

It holds less fuel than a normal drop tank but it was a pretty neat solution for adding in an irst pod

gusty sedge
# fleet halo ye

That's so fucking cursed, yes please give me more drag while I try to BVR a fifth gen with my IRST

fleet halo
gusty sedge
#

I don't know that the draft coefficients are like in the hornet but in the viper the centerline is uniquely bad for drag

fleet halo
#

That part is true but you can make the same arguement for the jammer pod for the f-16

fleet halo
#

it adds weight and drag but they cant punch it cause expensive and it's more useful to keep it on

gusty sedge
#

Never let them cook again

#

In the images I've seen I've only seen it on center

#

That one is plumbed for pods

fleet halo
# gusty sedge Smaller pod

just looked it up and da drop tanks weigh less when they're empty compared to the alq-184 but idk about the irst tank

gusty sedge
#

Is rather have a tungsten bar in the cockpit than an empty steel sphere on the outside

fleet halo
#

Blud it's a super hornet it's not like they're getting to mach 1.5 all the time

fleet halo
#

It seems like it's leaning more towards the 120D's going to american-based aircraft

#

so raaf super hornet and israel pretty much

it's not as maneuverable or has the same seeker as mica but I would still take it over the mica just cause of the range + hobs combo

like best of both worlds

But it's like 10-20% better than a pl-12 or 120C vs the MICA that is absolutely devious up close

the US just bought a considerably higher amount of block 40/42 than 50/52 so by relation, there were more pobit block 40s

Yeh but the strength of the Mica is the seeker locks into planes like a pit bull grabs toddlers.

#

I think hobs is sick

#

But past a certain points itโ€™s a gimmick.

#

IRL I would agree but in WT any missile you have more than 5 seconds to react to can be defeated

mossy marten
#

Once we actually get new gen heaters itโ€™ll be even more so.

Also makes the mica goated for intercepting

I think missile interception is awesome.

well avionics wise pretty close

#

main commonality is SABR and the presence of a third MFD (and weapons commonality but that applies to literally any USAF bird at this point)

#

PoBIT birds stick to the ALR-56M whereas the FMS birds have a dedicated EW system even excluding IVEWS (which I don't remember if the PoBIT birds even get)

#

oh and the CDU on the FMS birds is completely different from that put on PoBIT birds

The D model 120 is so notably a range increase I donโ€™t think theyโ€™re going to make it not have a better range.

fleet halo
#

There's no way the only thing gaijin does is give it a longer battery life

fleet halo
#

the thing that makes the r-77-1 a monster is that it's hobs + amraam range

idk if the 12A is gonna have amraam range but even if it's like 83% of the way there that'll be hype

It's supposed to have a straight up range increase but I'm not sure if that's been implemented yet

fleet halo
#

but the DLZ's matched up when I was in the test flight

gusty sedge
#

So there might be hope for the D then

fleet halo
#

idk how their dlz is implemented under the hood so it could either mean they haven't updated the dlz or that the missile just performs the same

#

the D and C's dlz has like the tiniest difference in max range for the DLZ but it was actually only shifting by a millimeter

The only thing it does is switch to IRST lock when they are beaming but doesn't let you launch

How do yall make top tier ARB fun? I just get my ass beat, and get no kills. I study the tactics, I watch the videos, but it just doesn't work.

misty scaffold

"That's the neat part, you don't."

#

Top Tier ARB is literally ass. Ever since the F-15E got dethroned by the eurotard deltas and russian Flankussies

#

If matchmaking got rebalanced so that Rank VIII aircraft saw less uptiers it would be slightly better

#

F-16C is literally dog ass now

I just don't know what I am doing wrong. If that game is like this, I don't understand how yall grind this shit out. I physically cab't do it

misty scaffold
#

I grinded out to top tier (Rank VIII) before the new AESA shit was added. It's a lot harder now. Although, most of my grind was base bombing. I hate A/A combat

formal sable
#

I may have to look at doing that. I just can't hack it in A/A

I usually research chaff first, then the aero upgrades, bombs, a 9L/M equivalent, then bomb bomb bomb, research engines / fire ext., then ARH missiles

#

For you Augur I would say focus on learning how to defeat missiles, chaffing/notching and multipathing are the main ways, being able to notch up high is preferable of everything follows after

#

Then I would really narrow in on making sure your radar keybinds are good so you can use hmcs, acm and tws modes well

#

The kills come with time, not sure if your jumping into top tier for the first time on a premium or if you got there in the tech tree but its certainly a learning curve

fleet halo
#

medium to high altitude (while also staying below the cons) is where you should be the majority of the time

#

I only start to multipath if there's a bunch of missiles I need to deal with or if I happen to be close enough to the ground from driving missiles down to denser air

nova crown
#

Yeah, also avoiding the urge to join in on the initial slog of missiles will put you in a good spot to chase people down or shoot down on multipathers

fleet halo
#

yeah unless you're in a rafale/eurofighter there's no reason to join in on the initial fox 3 slinging phase

nova crown
fleet halo
#

although if you have the opportunity to sling a missile while they're all clustered it's good to take a potshot cause it can lead to a lot of their team defending

nova crown
#

Eurofighter or 15e, r77-1 users and now pl12A users should shoot early

fleet halo
#

So you're not going for a kill but more so giving your team some breathing room

nova crown
#

But its still basically gambling

#

Also learning irccm types is smart

#

Helps with placing your fox 2 shots well and defending
