Took some time to actually play the AV-8B Plus on War Thunder right after launch... I gotta say it's pretty fun. It lacks in a few areas, but it is not slouch at all. Having the AMRAAMS make the biggest difference for this plane. While sitting at 12.3 BR it makes it especially interesting.

Update: checked the update notes and in game no data link on the AN/APG-68(V)7 radar (the radar in the AV-8B Plus)… so use TWS and Hard Lock for FOX 3’s on the AV-8B... use that info accordingly lol cause I'm braindead
Fun fact- hoving in place in the AV-8B will auto-notch missiles
Good thing you pronounced your name. I had an old high school girlfriend who's name was Kila West. Thought you were her..
My dad actually flew the AV-8B+ in Iraq, Afghanistan, and some countries in Africa during the 2000's and 2010's. He provided CAS for the friendly troops that he was covering. He had 5 confirmed kills and even still has a video of one of his AGM-65L mavericks hitting a dude standing by a truck in Iraq. He also had to help track a sidewinder that accidently went off the rails of one of his wingmen, long story short they never found it.
Tell your dad I said thanks for his service.
@@goaway8398 I will
Your dad is a war criminal.
Holy shite is there anywhere we can see that video?
@@Pikachugamer-2007 Probably not it's in his drobox, and it would also probably violate TH-cam guidelines since he's literally killing people on camera.
As I don’t play War Thunder, the extent of my knowledge of this stuff is Plane shoot missile from far away. (Also, what is multi pathing)
Multipathing is a side-effect of radars where the radar locks onto the reflection of a target off the ground.... meaning basically if u fly close enough to the ground missile wont hit u cause radar is gonna pick up the reflection instead of you basically
@@KilaWestGaming huh, the more you know
@@misterlegoblitzFun Fact, this is not a problem in modern radars due to AESA radar wizardry😂
@@croskerk that sentence structurally makes no sense
@@Acrophobia2 I agree
See now we wait for my sexy F/A-18 hornet lol
If the hornet gets added, I will throw my life away to get that beautiful thing. Please, lord above, don't make it a premium.
@@fluppet2350 no chance lol
I’m pretty sure the F/A-18 can carry 10 AIM-120s and 2 Aim 9s
Edit: Thank god this game hasn’t added stealth or radar cross sections yet
12 ARHs
gaijin after adding the best cas and multirole plane into the game : oh no oh no no no
Still need to stock grind the thing, and having two 9Ls at 12.3, subsonic is not... ideal.
@@o-mauler-o3021Not really no
@@robertgaudet7407 2 days later and I’m no longer stock and doing well with it.
@@o-mauler-o3021 good deal
Fuck
If this is how a subsonic F18 radar platform with a few amraams performs. . .
Imagine the F18 Spamraam! 😂
10 AMRAAMS and 2 sidewinders lul
@@croskerk10 araams and 4 side winders
TWS still pings the enemy RWR but it does not tell the RWR that it is being tracked (There are limits on the angle RWR can detect radar pings). The enemy knows you are there but not that you are locking him.
yep just appears as a search/scan ping
Bro has to be off the perc what are these jokes😂
❄️ ❄️❄️❄️
Aim 120 at 12.3 is devious man, in a down tear these things are terrifying, most people aren't even expecting you.
This lol. I was flying yesterday my F-4S to grind further my murican airforce and after some Aim7F spamming and getting some frags i got clapped into oblivion by an AIM-120 from an AV8+😂
Hey man, love the content as an enlisted aviator in the Air Force, me and my boom operator buddies love seeing another service member playing this game like us. Can't wait for more content big dawg.
this reminds me of the old f14 missles where people just camped at there air base kind of what the early clip shows
Insane
the rwr joke got me dead
I'm late, but this is mainly a tip for anyone using the AV8 (or harrier if you're british).
In order to effectively flare later ir missiles (aim 9e and beyond), drop engine power, as the AV8 at full engine power remains a stronger heat signature than your flares. Radar guided missiles are still a simple turn away from the aircraft and drop chaff, as in my experience, the radar can lock the chaff, but as long as you're the closer thing, the missile will keep going for you.
Bro the little brother and the girlfriend jokes were actually funny, thanks for letting me laugh today
Yeah, the AV-8B+ was kind of a nightmare to get spaded, but... Once you get those 9M's, there is no way for the enemies to turn back around and get surprised when you slap them around like they are some super hard ice. The enemies will break once you got those 9M's, and when you get the 9M's, you will very easily get the 120A's, and thats when the grind becomes easy mode
Playing against this with my mig 23 is terrifying. Unless I’m next to it it’s tough notching an AMRAAM.
OMG I love avatar ty for the refference
Further education provided here: The 77 is bugged and getting a fix. Burn time is wrong and targeting is malfunctioning. Doesn't mean the 120 isn't better overall, but we have yet to get everything balanced right. A hopeful Russian main.
I just finished spading the harrier even though I did put a talisman on it. The early grind on a down tier I would recommend taking rocket pods and ground pounding.. it’s not as bad stock grinding this compared to a 13.0 with two 9m and not chaff like the F15C.
even with the rocket pods the 9m’s and aim120’s being tier 4 mods really made the stock grind twice as long as i would have liked it
The F15C stock grind is BRUTAL.
Damn. We got American defyn with these jokes
You cant deny av8b cas is AMAZING.
Enemies very much KNOW when youa re looking with TWS they just don't get a hard lock whine....
So basically normal phoenix spam gameplay.... good info at the beginning of the video for the people with memory loss(most people)
much worse than phoenix spam lol more agile missile + lower multipating = pain for the inexperienced
@KilaWestGaming yeah still though people dont actually know how to correctly fire and forget which is funny when they say "fox 3 suck ass"
@@KilaWestGamingthe multipathing rework applies to phoenixes as well though. Problem is that a shit ton of planes get like 4 or even 6 fox3's which just uhh arent fun at all
duh multipathing affects them too but u cant just launch a phoenix point blank at 3KM's which makes AMRAAM's much scarier
@@KilaWestGaming yeah still but i send my pheonixes from like 25 clicks with hard lock and release lock on 18 for inertial guidance so it doesn't hit the floor.
VTOL and hovering over 10m and launching aim120 is pretty fking hilarious 😂🤷🏽♂️
yooo under an hour gang lez gooooooooooo
"Edd-you-kayyy-shun" 🤓👆
I urge you to reevaluate, there is a funny little thing you have to do to dodge amraams and fox 3 missiles, but this little harrier has the ability to insta notch all missiles by hovering, meaning you can just sit there and launch amraams at enemies while their missiles instantly lose lock
Fun fact if you hovered no one could hit you with Fox3
This thing is immune to fox 3’s.
If in a hover you’re essentially notching them, so you can fire at the enemy and as long as they’re not using fox 1 or 2’s you should be fine.
Ngl, the aim120 is better than the r77 in ALMOST every way, EXCEPT in turn, like bro, 35g vs 50g
R27EA IS COMING MY AMERICA FRIENDS
well, thats another plane to get once I reach top tier USA
BTW, can you look up the FW 190 A-8 in the US tech tree (once you're done reviewing all the new jets) I'm currently using it to reach 8.0 jets (USA) and I want to know any niche on playing it
You inspired me to make war thunder vids!
I like this style of video 👍
Hi killa I’m a big fan
Least u get aim 120s try playing with the R-77s
Should I keep grinding with the F-4j or use the F-5E or 4e
I use the f8e
To defeat amraam just turn 90 degrees and keep moving perpendicular against the missile and go down while dumping chaff, idk about warthunder amraam but you should NOT turn 180 against the missile
Lmao have you not heard the phrase "going cold"?
@@reinni2968 this is why i said idk about about warthunder amraam, if i dont nocth the missile and go to thicker air i'd be dead 90% of the time on dcs.
Depends how the devs have chaff modeled these days lol I wasn’t willing to risk it most of the time but I’ll have to test it out
@@KilaWestGaming thats true thats true, at the end of the day the dev have all the controls
Yup aim120 are thier better or thier radar is bugged cause they just ignore all chaff
I haven’t seen that especially if u go cold
why did bro censor the chat at 8:17 ☠
It was reallly REALLY bad this time I couldn’t leave it in
@@KilaWestGaming ☠️
War thunder makes me feel like a LoL player but I still take showers and it’s cool planes and not fake people🤷🏽♂️
but kila ur only saying the positives of the plane!
these jokes are crazy lol

Under 30 minutes
Yeah, 120`s are better but micas are still the best
not really, defyn went into detail as to why AIM-120s are a better pick
Challange:
Play war thunder mobile :]
Bro the little brother joke got me died 💀
dead*
Shut up@@fewrnijkqijfk
Theoretically av8b+ can just climb to alt, ,turn on vtol and be basically invulnerable to fox 1 and fox 3 missiles
Need a solid backdrop like terrain though or normal radar still picks you out
getting to the amraams is a nightmare though the stock grind is insane.
Love you Kila!!
I mean, R-77 are way too bad. They should be buffed 100%
I love this thing. It's an amazing ambusher. I average 3 kills a game by flying just off center of the map and tagging people trying to go after my teammates
Even though this harrier seems to be complete shit, I will probably unironically grind and play this, simply because its cool.
"Amazingly average" Gets 3 kills almost instantly
8:13 the chat was so bad he had to blur it😭😭
It’s very rare i do that too haha
Any hints to what was said?
@@KilaWestGaming Dang my guy gonna need to sign up for therapy💀💀
@@vokqe some things you don’t ever want to hear
I look at notifications, KILA!!!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!!! And I look next to it, War Thunder posted at the same time...
I play this game because of the harrier. VMA513 Yuma AZ my squadron transitioned to F35s in 2013
mid in air rb but its absolutely amazing in ground
better AIM-54 for every country
the chat in the first 1-2 min hahah
can you do reserve to top tier in uk bombers
My dad walked in while i was watching this... he didn't believe you were explaining fox-3 missles...
lmfao
Yo kila I was in one of your games last night you were in the mig-23 right
I was flying the mig 21 but probably
@@KilaWestGamingcan I touch ur pickles for a good luck charm against aim-120s :(
Kila: opinions on the R-27ER vs the AMRAAM argument? People are saying it’s still better
The only thing the r27er has is range, the aim 120 beats it in every thing else
I have like a quarter as much time with R-27’s vs AMRAAM’s but I’d still choose AMRAAM’s
@@KilaWestGaming Cool, thanks. It could be a good 1v1 comparison vid idea
I don't understand people saying fox 3s make the game skill-less. Before yea sure you could run radar missiles out of energy by cranking but now you actually have to defend missiles and you can't just be kind of close to the ground and be immune to any radar missile in game. Now more realistic tactics like flying high, cranking, notching are far more important so you actually have to learn to be good instead of just fly lower than the other guy and win.
“Is it skill-less” no. This is modern air combat.
