>>573036141>he doesn't know
>>573036141Pakistan shot down a bunch of Indian Rafales during a conflict last year. However, it was with long-range missiles, there were no dogfights as depicted here >>573035992
>>573036748It wasn't with J-20s either.
>>573036748Don't Rafales have spectrum or whatever the jamming suite is called? The shootdowns souldn't have happened
>>573037191but have you considered>jeets
>>573037293SPECTRA is literally automatic and takes control of the plane away from the pilot
>>573037450>trusting frogshitfound your problem
>>573037450Assuming Indians actually bought it and keep it up to date
>>573037191It does make use of destructive interference to cancel out radio waves that reflect off the plane, but the counter to this is very simple -- the missile's radar transmitter uses a wide range of frequencies. A lot of the sophisticated signal processing used in modern EW has very simple countermeasures.
>>573037736They contracted 50 years of maintenance done by France for each unit
clicked A NGIGER MERCAVA THREE TIMES BUT THIS SHELL DOESNT PEN ANYTHING
>>573037836Yeah but you still have to actually have someone go and update the planes with the software France transfers to India containing updated threat info and programming for the EW system to respond to itWhich Indians probably didn't do, were reluctant to share the data with France to encode it properly, or simply didn't have correct data for some of China/Pakistan's systems to add it.
Guys i was thinking. If germany killed 6 million jews why not just shoot them? Why waste so much time with gas chambers and making big consentration camps?
>>573038331kinda started off like this
>>573037737>>573038317doesn't work with aesa seekers
>>573038331What happened this time?
>>573038331even hitlers strongest super aryan ss gigachads get a little sad after shooting people in the face all day
>>573038601AESA seekers can use CHIRPing (compressed high-intensity radar pulses) to release a wide range of frequencies from each pulse. This technology isn't even new, CHIRPing (intrapulse modulation) actually originated in World War 2. The seeker can also modulate its amplitude and phase, which makes it very difficult for a plane's radar to even recognize the missile as a threat, let alone actively cancel it with destructive interference.
>>573040180>asuming bugmen can do that
>be germany warn poland many times to stop harassing germans in polans>poland keeps harassing>germany offer speace many times but warmongering poland wants war>france and UK declares war on germanyAnd germany is the aggressor? Lol
>>573040341PL-12, PL-15, PL-17 all use CHIRP compression, it's not particularly difficult. If it could be done with vacuum tubes 80 years ago, it can be done with the countless new microelectronics created since then. There are a lot of Chinese EE students who know all of the deep nuances of radio signals.

>anti-radiation loitering missilehow does that even work?
>>573049782it hangs around until it detects a radio sourcealarm just lofts then deploys a parachute then waits before reigniting a secondary engine iirc
>>573049782Poorly, seeing as the ALARM was retired after only a relatively short service life.
>>573049782Lofts high and glides well enough to wait for a radar to be turned on. Probably aims for a set point on inertial guidance (or GNSS) if it never sees anything.
>>573049892>>573049893>>573050023>The weapon is 3.7 m (12 ft) long, weighs 270 kg (600 lb), features SINS, GNSS, and anti-radiation seeker head. The missile has a loitering time of 50 minutes.[1][2] During the loitering mode, the missile can appear as an aircraft to deceive enemy turning on radar, serves as a decoy to protect friendly aircraft, or transmit target information to friendly units.How wold this one work in War Thunder?
bias machine
>>573050204it does nothing of the sort but increases render range of enemy planes to 2013 levels
>>573049892>reigniting a secondary engine iircNah it just used gravity. Acts like a guided bombIts 2 stage motor is just for boost/sustain>>573050204It won't. Gaijin aren't going to bother adding any of ALARM's unique features any more than they will add Brimstone's
>>573050213how shit was the enemy team for this to happen
>>573050204It would loft super hard and always take 50 minutes to hit its target.The GNSS mode would be omega fucked and it would randomly self-destruct if the target turns its radar off.
>last man standing>1v4>take out 3 of them>but I'm out of missiles>the 4th one chucks a sneaky Magic from behind as I'm killing his friend anyway.I was this close. Almost had it. I run 3x RD and 1xTD but thermal one is so unreliable. Gonna ditch it.
>>573049893It was retired when most of the missiles reached the end of their 20 year service life, and the jet that carried them was already earmarked for retirement. There wasn't any point buying new ones to restock Tornado for what turned out to only be another 5 years of service bombing Toyota pickupsThe missiles that still had shelf life were given to Saudi Arabia
>>573049782https://youtu.be/8wMoKLuL8Jc?t=344"Loitering munition" often implies a missile has a preexisting flight but breaks path when it detects any targets. Iran used loitering FOX-2s to shoot down an F-35, it flew in a figure-8 pattern until it detected infrared from the plane. I assume ARMs are similar but with radio emissions.
>>573051425Why didn't they integrate them with the Typhoon then?
>>573051750Because F-35 was going to be way better for SEAD/DEAD, so why waste money developing it for Typhoon?
>>573052065>Because F-35 was going to be way better for SEAD/DEADyeah.... we've seen what it can do
>>573042743Do you look like that irl?
>>573052751getting hit by Iranian command-guided IR point defence missiles doesn't really speak against F-35 being better than Typhoon for penetrating air defence radar networks
>>573030627farmed 40k and got tired
>>573042006Did pretty well in the F-80A too
>F-101C has the same engines as the F-100D, just a slightly later revision with a bit more thrust>except it has two of them>and it only weights 28% moreWhy was the F-100 such a fat, underpowered piece of shit?
>>573054254maybe because it came earlier
>advance already ruined by not restricting ahistorical vehiclesgreat
>>573054495>F-100 first flight - 1953>F-101 first flight - 1954Barely so.
>>573054254the f100d was great at 9.0

>>573056271paper tanks when everyone else has niggerbunkersthe most rage inducing useless top tier spaa
I've started playing coastal goymany in arkaden to get the hand of it and for some reason even if it's arcade you have to manually aim the 37mm like if it's realistic/simulator. Only that gun in particular also the 15mm mg sucks ass
>>573056379atleast japan has the mandate of heaven of future experimental bullshit into the tech tree itself, not just an event or a premium (X-2 Shinshin, F-X 24DMU, 25DMU, 26DMU, 28DMU, etc..) kek just like ho-ri and f-16aj
In for what?I will not buy and play it anyway

give it to me straight doc

>>573059062>the reason they added a bunch of flamethrower tanks that are useless against other tanks is because of infantryOh it makes sense now.

>>573058779>ww2 slop>thing i don't like = slopyou're a fucking imbecile, top tier trash is the very definition of slop

Play the M103
Everyone defines slop personally. It's a subjective term, in its current WT state.

"Our Lord and Saviour BVVD" - Gimli
>>573061780so true, just like you're a real woman, personally and subjectively of course
>>573047510I assume reserve subs are going to have early war faulty torpedoes and as tiers increase they are going to get the better and better iterations.Ofc the cold war and later subs are going to have different versions of guided torpedoes and related systems.

dumb question probably but will infantry weapons be nation locked? i started playing recently and ive only just unlocked american jets, but i also like my russian rifles...
>>573066778I don't want to. I just adhere to the classical definition of the word grind. Grind is grueling and not fun, something you do because you have to.You grind a dungeon in mmo to get an item you need or to level up.I don't ever grind in War Thunder. I play for fun. Whatever I feel like right now.
>>573066995what do you think
>>573064537id sooner expect them to do it like they did the hispanos, where you got to unlock increasingly less shit versions of the same weapon to reflect updates to the designeven gaijin wouldnt make an entire vehicle useless because it historically had an X chance of its torps doing fuck all, same as they don't do engine/transmission failuresimagine literally 3/4rds of the US subs being unplayable because of their Mk.14s
