I've been playing War Thunder air modes on and off since 2016, and if you want to explore War Thunder aircraft, I suggest the following: -USSR and USA generally have the best aircraft for each battle rating, but their tech trees are a pain to grind -The battle ratings have these themes: a) prop fighters b) WW2 jets c) Korean War jets with infrared missiles d) Vietnam jets with added longer-range semi-active radar missiles e) Top-tier jets (F14, F16, MiG29, Yak141) with BVR missiles -Buying a Vietnam-era premium jet to get into missile gameplay is very expensive. But if you're planning that route, I recommend that you do some prop fighter Air Arcade, then prop fighter Air Realistic first; until you can survive and get kills in prop Air Realistic. (Most jet matches are in Realistic).

With that many keys to press and only five fingers of your own on the keyboard it might actually be worthwhile having a friend be the radar operator while focusing dexterity on controling the airframe. Working together like that would be great to hone the teamwork skills aboard your friendship.

It would be great if War Thunder allowed co-op gameplay. Some of these jets (i.e. F-14) have two seats for a reason. Imagine a B-17 with a whole squad of your friends for each role (i.e. pilot, bomber, gunner(s)).

@@aviatorlewski9310 tbh this all is way easier if you get a mouse like the razer Naga, and bind everything you can to the mouse. I got missiles, flares, rockets, bombs, switching weapons (both primary and secondary), sight stabilization, flaps and more just on the mouse, and I use buttons 1, 2, 3, 4 on the keyboard for the radar stuff. It might not be comfortable, but you usually can reach those quite quickly. Either way, the F14 does need other radar acm modes, I agree, but the snail won't do it, and there's nothing we can do about it.

The BVR tag specifically means that the radar is able to use either the target cue or 'Select Radar/IRST target to lock' to selectively lock a target. If a radar does not have the BVR tag but does have a track function, that function works by pointing the radar directly forward (similar to 'ACM mode' aka ACM Boresight)

To me the biggest advantage DCS has over WT is not realism or authenticity (though that’s nice) it’s a lack of documentation. If there’s something you don’t understand about a DCS aircraft, it’s probably in the manual, even minute details. So I really appreciate in-depth guides like this

Its always been my plan to update my 3 main guides about once per year as the snail makes changes/additions to the in-game systems.

Just found this video and I will say while I've still to hit play? I've already got my notebook to the side to start taking notes... Skyflash Tracking, RADAR slaving, RADAR Gunsights, Chaff and countless deaths to R24Rs and AIM-7Fs... I need to learn how to not only use these, but also how to counter them... Hard to tell if I find the RWR Hard Lock Warning or the Ace Combat Missile Warning to be more common in my nightmares at this point

I got the Mig 23 and I'm getting smashed because I don't understand radar in this game. Looking forward to this man thanks.

Wow, not gonna lie, I recommended that somebody check out your guide to radar just yesterday and you put out and updated one today! Honestly recommend your channel whenever somebody asks about certain topics in the game, very informative. :)

Thank you for putting in all the time it took to make this. You've always made the most well balanced guides and reviews, and it's appreciated.

Fantastic explanations and very concise and to the point, all of the content in this video is worth it.

probably a good idea to point that, using ACM boresight mode, will no longer care about IFF info, and will lock whatever it wants to, friend, foe, chaff, a missile, whatever if can

Its going to get an update after the next patch, as it looks like they'll be making some changes to radar.

Manual target lock is superior to cycling targets and I'll die on this hill :P Once I got used to it it became much easier to manually filter out "trash" targets and lock exactly what I need while pretty much retaining same lock speed, not to mention in close ranges where I need to be even faster I'll be using HMD/ACM anyways. Something you didn't mention is that on MiG-29 HMD can be used with IRST, meaning you can slave a heatseeker or get gun CCIP without giving radar warning while using much more comfy HMD instead of ACM or search, it also has wider lock box compared to radar HMD, although angles are bit more limited. Great guide though, stuff like that should be a tutorial ingame!

Anyways, this video was so in-depth and thorough that I’ll be directing any radar noobs to your channel and this video specifically! Hopefully this info doesn’t become outdated too soon… great job!

Very educative video, almost feels like leaking classified information

These 3 guides make me understand why WSO and RIO positions exist.

I belive the "relative speed indication" is known as "rate of closure", hence why closing on them is positive.

Of note that I believe wasn't mentioned. If you used manual target cueing you cannot select targets in the full vertical range of the IRST system even if they're being detected.

hi Tim I enjoy your videos plus Tankenstein mentioned you in one of his videos. I have a question Can you do a video on your graphic settings for Warthunder? Thank you

I hope someday that maybe we can get a keybind or option to use the manual targeting cue and the cyclic switching at the same time

Great radar Tech Video. VERY complicated to understand and remember all the info in this. I think this RADAR Tech/Setup guide is more suited to people who play the game in simulator mode with a very expensive HOTAS aircraft sim setup. Trying to bind the keys and remember their function on a standard keyboard is VERY confusing and near impossible to pull off using just a mouse/keyboard setup. I am not in the market for a high end aircraft simulator rig to play a game. With all the real military tech out there Gaijin has done a magnificent job in applying it to a PC game. I wish a MFG would bring out better keyboards dedicated to games with so many key bindings.

@TimsVariety

My secret is overlapping keybinds. For example, I know that no plane with ww-2 "Schräge Musik" cannons will ever have an advanced radar, so my keybind for lock radar target is the same as my keybind for switching to "Schräge Musik" guns. Some buttons on my keyboard have 3 or 4 things bound to them. I also use an elgato streamdeck as a makeshift real-life MFD, which helps sometimes in high intensity situations.

I'm just starting to watch this. The title totally got me I have almost 3000hrs spent in WT. Never understood the radar, i always was fokussed on just playing. I'm happy to see this tutorial now, because the radar was so far just useless..

They should add grazing cows to ground RB for ground radar to be able to incorrectly pick up as a vehicle.

Thanks for making this video, though you shouldn’t have to and gaijin should actually tell players what all of the near identical sounding keybinds actually do
