Some information you have given is quite wrong - usually happens if someone is not a air battle main. The AASM is NOT SLOW, if you launch it over mach 1, the missile would exceed at the middle of a sustain-motor and plus acts like a pop up maneuver which makes SPAA like pantsir nearly impossible to shoot down AASMs. i’ve tested several times, the AASM didn’t get shot down a single time by pantsir and any other SPAAs since the missiles get SUPER fast at the end The IR version has a seeker issue - the missile doesn’t track or neither gps guidance doesn’t work when launched over 10km, and same issue sometimes happen to the Laser version, especially launched over 15km Also, it loses track when there’s some obstacles pop up between the target and the seeker, since some codes related to the guidance and IOG is missing so it wouldn’t re-lock to the target If properly patched and properly used, would have more potential then the KH38s Plus You don’t need to wait for the ground target hit to engage air targets unless you keep your TGP lock to the ground target
IRST is really good because it allows you to lock targets IR signature and employ long range IR weaponry if you have it. It’s especially useful with R27ETs because there is no lock warning, no launch warning, no radar ping.
@@nicolaspeigne1429 the rafale is supposed to have the mica ir it can’t use the magic 2 the pictures of the rafale with magic 2 are the F1 variant which is an early version
@@nicolaspeigne1429 true. In the real world the AIM-9M is considered a short range missile but it actually has quite a bit of range in the game. Same with the R-73. But IRST is also useful for simply tracking an aircraft without them knowing they're being tracked. It can act as TWS without alerting the enemy to your presence.
@@FEnrir584 the IR is not coming for a while sadly, and since the OSF can't datalink with the MICA EM, it won't work with the MICA IR either. But the seeker on the MICA IR will have easily around 15-20 km lock range on its own when fired as a fox 2
The AASM would normally use its motor just before the terminal phase to accelerate the bomb. It should also have a reduced smoke trail and an airburst option for soft and aerial targets.
i made a bug report for the egine in terminal phase and for the final angle of trike (supose to be near 90° compare to the ground) that was accepted but not alwready forwarded for review
Hey Justin FYI you can maintain a laser lock for a GBU and Radar lock and fire a Fox 3 separately. Also think you would have a much better time if you switched from TWS to HMD PD mode when you already have a visual of where your target is.
Keybinds are definitely a huge factor. For those struggling with not having enough keys, I recommend having one of those MMO mouses with the calculator on the side.
Use IRST when you dont want your Radar on. So you won't triggers any RWR pings until you turn it back on. Generally i start in TWS, get a general idea where someone is then switch to IRST and fox 2 then if close enough or Fox 3 if they're high enough.
alright so what i've been told, IRST works the way that you can track someone, they don't know but you can't know how far that target is, works for SPAAs also
If you are wondering why your radar lock or HMD keeps switching to IR, Gaijin implemented a pretty dogshit change a while ago to aircraft radar; it will now automatically decide what mode to switch to based on factors like closure rate and if your lock is dropping or not. They effectively tried implementing a trick on the F-16, where it can seamlessly switch between Pulse and Pulse-Doppler lock manually, and have it do that automatically. If this is where Gaijin had stopped, this would not be that terrible of a change. The problem comes with aircraft that have IRST as part of their sensor kit; it is not excluded from being something the lock can switch over to, so your perfectly fine lock can now just turn into an IRST Infrared lock, despite IR being absolutely incompatible with the guiding of or datalink on any radar missile, and not allowing radar missiles to be fired, because it just felt like it. Also, the Rafale's radar is particularly clunky and placeholder, exacerbating this. Gaijin has refused to fix this moronic side effect so far. Also, unlike it switching between radar modes, it will not revert your sensor back to whatever mode it was originally in once you unlock the target...even more dumbass decisions from the snail right here. And ALSO also, you can't opt out of this, you are stuck having to deal with this atrocity of a mechanic change, which is even more moronic.
from ground pounders perspective there are less reasons to play top tier after every patch. This game needs off map SAM to keep CAS closer to ground. Combat never happens in vacuum.
Get one of those 12 button macro mice. I have a corsair one. all of my radar binds are on the mouse. I just set it up as my side keys are F13-F24 in windows so no conflicts and works in WT. Great having more binds in tanks too. Also don't use TWS in tank rb lmaooo
gawd damn, I just took a look at Justin’s subscriber count and I was shocked. I remember when I started watching Justin, he had only about 30k subs and seeing how many he has now is just awesome.
There are issues with Rafale, it needs to have 8 MICA-EMs, better load out, MICA themselves lack range, also it's French, meaning Gaijin might nerf it for no reason. Other jets outperform it even tho it's supposed to be the other way around.
FR man the magic 2 doesn’t even fit on the pilons only the F1 variant can take magic 2 and why gaijin removed the GTM TWS mod ? It has this radar mod irl and I also hate the fact that u can’t take mica’s on the drop tanks pilons irl it can gaijin really f up this plane and I’ve not even talked about the top speed bug
Your keybinds are terrible for air. The easiest method is to set a keybind for secondary armament and use the weapon selection. If you use the weapon selection then you can launch everything with the same key and you only need to switch the armament with the weapon selector. Also bind your flares to a single button without the ALT, it's way more practical.
The aircraft shines the most in sim where you can make use of all the avionics
For the MICAs. It’s recommended to only shoot at a 15km target if they are moving towards you
not in my experience
Maybe the next video could be on the Panzerhaubitze 2000?
I approve.
I agree!

You don’t need to wait for the ground target hit to engage air targets unless you keep your TGP lock to the ground target
So close to 100k. Remember you three years ago and man you have grown. Great job man

funny thing is both the rafale and the EF don't have long range IR missiles

@mr_scout_8983 still better than a "not a bug" response like with the 2 additional mica pylons

A second rafale just hit the second tower!

I need one bad. Do you recommend any particular brand?
@@jb7483 I use a Redragon one. Fairly affordable. The only thing I dislike is the slider in the software for adjusting sensitivity.

Combo video idea: The MARS 15 and the IAR 316B.
You've got my vote.
Aren't they in different tech trees though?
@@MilkIsTheDrink No they're not, both the MARS 15 & IAR 316B are in the French tech tree.
@@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933 was the iar an event vehicle that cannot be seen in the tech tree or am I just this blind?
@@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933 oh damn, it's a heli. I thought it was a plane, my bad
For clarification, the cost of that AASM was about 3x the price of the M163 at around 300K per unit. 🤣
Every French stuff is expensive
I just checked and it seems each of them (AASM) costs 175,497$. Huge difference compared to what you wrote.
i think perfecting my keybinds for cas and air rb and ground rb literally took me over a year. it is insane
Pressing Alt in combination with the QWEASD keys are the shortcuts for the radar. keep up the good work!!
gotta love the Rafale
Bro went from 95.6k to 96.2k between 2 vids that's crazy he deserves it tho

The IR missiles arent that bad but it does have moments where it just misses. Just had a game knocking out 3 pantsirs in one pass so they do work.
you should take full flares (32) and turn off your MAWS to avoid being out of it
Love your content man, can't wait to see you get to 100k!
Fun fact, in terms of fighter jets, france tech tree is complete
I think you should do a video with the RDF-LT and the F15E with the new AGM 130A
Hey Justin I don’t play air that much but what are your key binds for radar and the missile stuff I’m thinking about grinding the German air tech tree
Buy the German MiG 21 bis if it’s on sale next week.
his current keybinds are a mess...
The IR hammers are great but will fly off in their own randomly despite a good lock

that missile, gets 0 momentum, literally slows to a grinding halt when launched
20:29 ALT+A keybind i think
A plane that doesn't get its main IR missiles and with ranged nerfed EM missiles. Annoying. Doesn't get its amazing EW suite either.
Do you still get something from the shop code if I buy stuff during the Christmas sales that'll be 30-50% off?

do we return to the italian prenuim heli try out l-umtas and crit-4 maybe
Gaijin need bring out better anti air coz any jet that flew high speed, the current anti air missiles are cant keep up.
So, how does it compare to the new mirage 2000D in terms of capabilities? Which one is better to clap some tanks out of the game?
I prefer the 2000D tbh

Hi Justin
THATS EXACTLY I dont ise tws in grb
He is just good in CAS. MICA EM flight model still bullshit
_you’re awesome man 👍_
Hi building 🤣
Can bombs be intercepted with missiles?
Yup!
@JustinPlaysTV I hope you will make a video about the new big bomb for the SU 34
Every ground kill you get get in CAS makes me feel mad cause I hate cas. But well, it is what it is
How to counter this if we don’t have any fighters?
How the heck do you have so many GE and SL?
must be nice having fire and forget weapons, Meanwhile brimstone....
"my boy JustinPlays is almost at 100k cannot believe this cuhh what a dream"🗣🙏🏽
Not sure if you're 3% is responsible for this but I got the $166 for $114 after using your code
Hello Justin
i think the su33 needs a buff bc without fox 3s you cant do non in top tier
The Tor is bad as the player playing it is bad ;)
