Hello, sight stab button. Thanks a lot :)

I enjoyed watching your video. You're really good at using the Maverick G for CAS. With its low magnification, it can be difficult to spot enemies and distinguish them from debris, making it challenging to locate and aim at targets without getting intercepted by anti-aircraft vehicles like the Pantsir. Do you have any tips for using the low-magnification Maverick effectively without a targeting pod?

@Hunter_i86

15 күн бұрын

I don't really distinguish the targets and they are that far, now way to do that. I just lock pixels and launch, but if that pixel launched a missile with big white smoke trail then it must be an SPAA so all the love and priority are given to him. The real challenge is in ground SB, you need to know who is friendly and enemy when flying an A-10 Late, identifying enemies here pretty much depends on the vehicle position, the vehicle path, the direction of fire and also the time of battle. Thanks so much :)

Are you planning to do a vid on the new Su-27? Ive been trying to do cas with it, idk why but it seems like the TV guidance system is acting weird. Contrary to the SMT, the Su-27 struggles to get consistent locks, especially if I am trying to lock even on a slight angle. Might just be me, but would love a vid where you can give some tips and tricks. Best regards.

Yeah Pantsir missile is 32G, while VT-1 is 50G, that's why VT-1 is more dangerous if the target is in range, diving alone is not enough, diving hard and fast, very fast is the key, that's why you need an expert or ace crew to pull up in time before hitting the ground.

Hey hunter how’s it going my wrist has been doing better But also never thought I’d see an F4F KWS anywhere Anyway wassup how are you doing?

i like the ":)" face on the back

2:22 the VT1 only pulls 50G for a very small portion of its flight and most of its flight time, it pulls around 20-30Gs because the burn time is so short and its a big missile so it loses a lot of energy at range, granted still "enough", just thought it was worth mentioning

Great video as always Hunter, just a quick question. At 04:52 - without looking up towards the target, your radar managed to find him and you always clicked your radar lock button then launched your missile with ease. Just wandering how you find a target without pointing your nose toward it and how you locked it straight away? Thanks mate, hope everything is ok with your health and good things come your way.

@sentinelxcix2526

17 күн бұрын

TL;DR: turn off "constant elevation of radar antenna" in the settings There's an option called "constant elevation of radar antenna" and it "locks" your radar so it scans directly ahead, if you turn it off then the radar will try and scan a set area regardless of your pitch, and you can also manually raise/lower the scan area if you have the controls bound. In this case the TWS picked something up so the radar moved the scan zone on its own to keep the target inside it

Phantom is "Fighter" and Tornado is "Striker", use both of them in the lineup plus UHT, different roles in the lineup mean no SP penalty, I mean spawn points will not get doubled if you died in your Phantom, also Maverick missile is very easy to intercept, maybe it is just me because I prioritize SPAA so much, will show it in an F-16C video soon anyway. Also Tornado has 2nd gen thermal TGP with laser guided bombs while Phantom has Maverick D TV sight with 2x magnification only.

I see the Phantom as more of a support/fighter aircraft, it has some of the best radars in the game paired with Fox-3 making you an excellent air patrol unit. The Tornado is more of a strike aircraft only, but it gets the advantage of carrying a targeting pod with plenty of GBUs.
