from the point the fox 3 test was annouced i knew toptier was fucked because planes with no amraams f16a f15a su27 first one and then you have a major disatvantage
bro what, Fox 3's can still be notched, and in a pure dogfight it's still a matter of skill, just because a few planes can snipe you from 20 kilometers further than before doesn't mean ARB is dead for anyone who uses the old top dog planes
@@ultimatechad8738 It's not a matter of kinetic performance. Kinetically, the missiles we have are more of the same, bar agility. It's the ARH seeker that fucks it. If I have an R-77 and someone is trying to press me, I can quickly turn in a bit, lock them off-bore, and shoot a missile to throw them defensive before notching again for safety. If I have an R-27ER, I can't turn in to guide my weapons since by the time my weapons reach him, I will have already been hit by a missile from him, and there is nothing I can do about it other than hope for a mutual kill or stay in the notch and try to work the merge. Fox-3's are a completely different animal.

@@CyberRecon When you have premium time, if you loose SL, they will be refunded, at THE END of a match, that's why if the match is not over you'll see -10k sl for example
A single update makes almost all previous top tier planes obsolete and makes stock grind even more impossible than it used to be. This has to be the worst update for top tier to date... The only way fox-3 missiles could have been implemented is with dynamic BRs. As soon as a plane has a fox-3 equipped, it goes to BR 14 so it can`t face planes without them
The only reason why so many things are getting sucked into top tier is because its by far the most popular battle rating atm, once people start playing other gamemodes after they get whatever they want at top tier the matchmaker will change and 12.3s and 12.0s will start getting more downtiers again
It's really good right now, I got a single 12.7 game in 25+ matches. And the aim54s hit more often due to people not being able to just ground hug in a straight line. Currently at 2.5 kills per death
one of of the benefits of the fox-3's os that so many people die at the start of that match that the only people left were the ones going cold and defending;........ yk like it would be in real life if that many missles were being shot
this update is absolute slop. gaijin is actively compressing high tier air even further by only putting ARH missiles at 12.7-13.0. needs to be a much bigger gap tbh. AND they still wont let us play exclusively 12v12 or even give us the option for 8v8. im not playing top tier until its playable (it wont ever be)
@@GoodGuyRuska- i have but its no guarantee AND 12v12 isnt small enough as each plane at that tier is carrying 4 missiles MINIMUM, usually 8 and sometimes 10, so its basically an average of 80-120 missiles PER TEAM, half of which are now active radar homing/fire and forget and the other half are IRCCM. its borderline impossible to dodge that many missiles let along keep track of them, theres not really a whole lot of skill involved, theres a lot of luck needed. if we had 4v4 (perfect for squad v squad gameplay) and optional 8v8 for those who want something more hectic then id be fine with it. but 12v12 is simply not small enough and currently thats the minority of games witht the majority being 16v16 still. its just not fun. 16v16 is perfect for props where its guns only, but definitely not active radar homing and IRCCM capable jets lobbing missiles at eachother. if there was a top tier guns only gamemode, 16v16 could be really fun. but 16v16 is NOT set up for these missiles

Someone with actual sense. People whined so much about wanting amraams and more modern systems but now they bitch when it's all added. If they hate fox 3 usage then go back to 11.3 or lower where they aren't at.
Yeah the multi path abuse bullshit was the most stupid thing ever. This is modern air combat with modern jets and missiles. They can go play lower tier or go play Ace Combat. This game is way better now.
what my problem mostly is, is that the spotting system is so damn useless, sometimes an enemy is spotted only 2km in front of you or at best 5km in front of you which means you will instantly die to a radar missile nowadays, if they actually fixed the spotting system, it would be a lot more bearable to play 16v 16 because it would be a lot more forgiving.
@@ultimatechad8738 no dude, Viggens get so few countermeasures that I don't want to fly higher (to give myself the room to notch) and risk being seen and I haven't unlocked all the mods to be fast enough to climb that fast anyway.
all you have to do is not fly high it makes yourself way too big of a target especially with these small maps considering the range on the Fox-3's, that on top of knowing how to notch/go cold and defend
Been flying high the whole day and have had infinitely better results than flying low. I have speed. I have space. I have situational awareness. I have range. Wouldn't trade it for a now reduced multipath effect
I played the night before and got over 20 kills and had fun the update came out the next day and I honestly don’t want to play anymore they need to add countermeasures for these or nerf them or just straight up remove them
There are countermeasure for them, it's called notching and chaffing. Joob literally does it in the video. You can't play braindead ooga booga anymore and succeed, you actually have to be smart
@@DatFatThor i tested this theory and did nothing for 10 matches but go straight at the blob and launch missiles the moment it was possible they would hit, I got 27 kills in an hour, oooooogggggggaaaa boooooggggggaaaa

@@nomikomaryu5049 nothing has changed, timmies have more killing power now but they already had stupid killing power, easier to use weapons does not translate to a higher skill ceiling no matter how much time passes. In six months if nothing changed the players will play exactly the same way they are right this instant.
@@LazyActor It's more of effectiveness. For example, you're already seeing people climb just days after the update. Why? Because higher altitudes increases weapon effectiveness. Now the Red Team has yet to do this. I've seen a handful of F-15J's climb however that's all. Not a single Su-27SM nor Mig-29SMT has climbed which makes the R-77 less effective since the majority of its burner is fighting through the drag of denser air. (This is mainly Sim btw) On top of that yiu will have to fight decently hard just to close in for a Fox-2 shot let alone a bfm fight, so the skill level has increased and it will only increase as weapons become more advanced with better engines and better tracking systems. Now until they realize these things, they're gonna keep complaining about it.
i cant play a game in my netz without getting killed by unflareable, unspotted missiles from f16C-s idk if ill ever play top tier even once a month like before ill stick to my f2 sabre its actually fun as back in the days
This update killed a lot of peoples games including myself. game just won't load or won't push beyond 15 frames. Tried verifying reinstalling disconnecting any controllers etc. Game still won't run. Fuck this update
Multipath nerf killed 11+. Phoenix spam is even crazier than it was on launch, because now usually only one side has America. Instead of going and making every fox 3 different, they just slapped a lazy 'fix' too all different systems. Really dumb.
Me when people want realism and then complain when a realistic fix is added. Also 11.3 is a ton of fun and most F14's still miss a majority of their Phoenix's and die.
The other thing about 16vs16. TWS just become completely unmanageable and annoying since TWS likes to follow people even if you turn your plane you can no longer see directly forward.
@@Silkroad000 It works same way as night battles. You can pick one, but how often did you see them? I played like a dozen or two games at 292, and didnt saw even one.
There is no reliable, 100% working method anymore. 60m is basically tree altitude (dont ask, trees are ridiculously tall in air battles), and you cant possibly notch more then one missile.
Suggestion: Keep your speed up and have some altitude to spare. Speed is life and altitude is insurance. Depending on terrain, multipathing is still an option. But over mountainous terrain, do not consider it reliable. Try to anticipate when a missile is shot at you from opponents who may be a threat, and defend accordingly. When defending an incoming missile, put it on the 3 or 9 o'clock position and deploy chaff. It'll take some practice to get proficient at it (Especially if you need to notch in a hurry), but do not be deterred. Notching will reliably defeat every radar missile in the game, including these new ones.
Depending on terrain, it's still not that hard to multipath most missiles TBH. You just have to be paying attention and know what terrain is around you (Or just try not to need to multipath the missile to the extent you can)
@CrispyMuffin2 by not flying into the giant furball, it's like the equivalent of holding shift + w in any sort of tactical shooter lol Pick off stragglers who tunnel vision, working from high to low, keep SA always and don't be afraid to defend or go cold and run towards help if shit goes sour, if no stragglers wait until the furball develops to a point where people are dogfighting and slow and do hit and runs. Avoid high alt unless you're plane is built for it like the f15 where it performs best between mach 1.4 and 2.0 Oh and pay attention to your rwr / radar or visually identify missile launches via smoke
What I like to do in f15j in ec is just fly to 10km, hit mach 2, at that alt and speed you're pretty much untouchable, then when furball is going I slam on the brakes and dive straight down into it, launching every aa3 and 7m I can, it usually nets me 3-5 kills
Every time I use the vertical against someone while flying my Bf-109, I'm actually just LARPing. It has nothing to do with flying the plane how its supposed to be flown.
For 16 v 16 the multi pathing needs to be 100 I like 16 v 16 what i suggest is if you want to change it make a different mode cause i prophecize that the br of alot of planes will change cause of the multi path change if forced into this new meta my personal opinion is to just put it back at 100 its a game not a true simulator so some liberties should be taken
"He went low enough
Oh he crashed"
you either touch the ground or the missile touches you, pick your poison
Or you learn basic evasive tactics that make it somewhat easy to evade these missiles.

Someone with actual sense. People whined so much about wanting amraams and more modern systems but now they bitch when it's all added. If they hate fox 3 usage then go back to 11.3 or lower where they aren't at.
Yeah the multi path abuse bullshit was the most stupid thing ever. This is modern air combat with modern jets and missiles. They can go play lower tier or go play Ace Combat. This game is way better now.
@@gtmike916 >literally unplayable garbage
>bbbuut it's better than the previous unplayable garbage
maybe modern air combat just sucks to play?
What if you had to do a certain task before gaining access to missile systems? Broaden the dogfight aspect of the game a bit
How do I hide the inventory indicator at the bottom of the screen
There needs to be a cut off… my f16AJ doesn’t even get aim9m wtf am I even supposed to do besides buy my way to this jet
Searching…
Seek and destroy!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘(iykyk)
Gripen is crazy OP its on par with the Eurofighter Typhoon im curious why the typhoon wasnt added...
what my problem mostly is, is that the spotting system is so damn useless, sometimes an enemy is spotted only 2km in front of you or at best 5km in front of you which means you will instantly die to a radar missile nowadays, if they actually fixed the spotting system, it would be a lot more bearable to play 16v 16 because it would be a lot more forgiving.
At least people aren't hugging the ground anymore 24/7.
0:40 there is a option to have smaller games
"I'm free looking and not able to control the plane" bro is basically playing on console
Yeah, not gonna touch JA37C ever again. I know it can't face ARHs but multipathing got nerfed and there are still boatloads of SARHs at it's BR.
Ahem, notching.
@@ultimatechad8738Why the people cannot understand that is not possible to notch if the enemy is right in front of you
@@ultimatechad8738 no dude, Viggens get so few countermeasures that I don't want to fly higher (to give myself the room to notch) and risk being seen and I haven't unlocked all the mods to be fast enough to climb that fast anyway.
Adding shift+a and shift+d as binds was so fucking dumb lol
You gotta go cold lol
7:30 Gripen ASMR
They really needs to put EC for RB with the largest Map ever
What's next? Stealth planes?
Point and click sim reached its final form finally🙏
all you have to do is not fly high it makes yourself way too big of a target especially with these small maps considering the range on the Fox-3's, that on top of knowing how to notch/go cold and defend
Been flying high the whole day and have had infinitely better results than flying low. I have speed. I have space. I have situational awareness. I have range. Wouldn't trade it for a now reduced multipath effect
@@Registered_Simp yeah i can undestand that i mainly just hide behind terrain in worst case scenarios
@@Registered_Simp just tried out what you said with side climbing and it works great just depends on map imo
I played the night before and got over 20 kills and had fun the update came out the next day and I honestly don’t want to play anymore they need to add countermeasures for these or nerf them or just straight up remove them
There are countermeasure for them, it's called notching and chaffing. Joob literally does it in the video. You can't play braindead ooga booga anymore and succeed, you actually have to be smart
@@DatFatThor i tested this theory and did nothing for 10 matches but go straight at the blob and launch missiles the moment it was possible they would hit, I got 27 kills in an hour, oooooogggggggaaaa boooooggggggaaaa
I was able to play for a few hours didn’t get one smaller game
watching this gave me aim 64 spam flashbacks
bro invented a missile
@@BufferThunderI was going to say this 😭😭
They should just add "Guns Only Air RB" mode for people who want that.
I'll try wt again, in about a year .
How do you watch your missile after you shoot it??
Press U
Inb4 they add Aim-9X next patch. I'll never leave 11.7 again.
Just got back on rb, the lower count and just using basic evasive tactics from irl situations you'll be fine.
This guy gets it
I feel like people are seeing me say “this game sucks” and somehow re-interpreting that in to “I don’t like this because it’s hard”
It’s like actually pretty darn easy, but easy doesn’t mean fun. The combat is boring.
@@_Joob okay, so what is so easy to you? And also have you thought that it's only easy rn because we're at the beginning of the learning curve?
@@nomikomaryu5049 nothing has changed, timmies have more killing power now but they already had stupid killing power, easier to use weapons does not translate to a higher skill ceiling no matter how much time passes. In six months if nothing changed the players will play exactly the same way they are right this instant.
@@LazyActor It's more of effectiveness. For example, you're already seeing people climb just days after the update. Why? Because higher altitudes increases weapon effectiveness.
Now the Red Team has yet to do this. I've seen a handful of F-15J's climb however that's all. Not a single Su-27SM nor Mig-29SMT has climbed which makes the R-77 less effective since the majority of its burner is fighting through the drag of denser air.
(This is mainly Sim btw)
On top of that yiu will have to fight decently hard just to close in for a Fox-2 shot let alone a bfm fight, so the skill level has increased and it will only increase as weapons become more advanced with better engines and better tracking systems.
Now until they realize these things, they're gonna keep complaining about it.
i prefer this over the IRCCM meta from before
Amramms should not be doing splash damage after hitting the ground like that
i cant play a game in my netz without getting killed by unflareable, unspotted missiles from f16C-s idk if ill ever play top tier even once a month like before ill stick to my f2 sabre its actually fun as back in the days
ah yes. i love point and click simulator
ive played like 20 top tier matches today not one one of them wasnt 16 vs 16 smh
This update killed a lot of peoples games including myself. game just won't load or won't push beyond 15 frames. Tried verifying reinstalling disconnecting any controllers etc. Game still won't run. Fuck this update
16v16 is to much i think 8v8 would be much better its a good middle, also could you maybe do an settings video for controls?
Multipath nerf killed 11+. Phoenix spam is even crazier than it was on launch, because now usually only one side has America. Instead of going and making every fox 3 different, they just slapped a lazy 'fix' too all different systems. Really dumb.
Me when people want realism and then complain when a realistic fix is added.
Also 11.3 is a ton of fun and most F14's still miss a majority of their Phoenix's and die.
The other thing about 16vs16. TWS just become completely unmanageable and annoying since TWS likes to follow people even if you turn your plane you can no longer see directly forward.
Air Rb players when they have to play realistic notch and manage distance
Yeah, shit is boring and requires less skill than ever.
Who cares if it’s realistic if it’s not fun
Just need RB ec as a permanent mode
WOW spawn shoot die repeat (every 30 seconds) 👌👌👍👍👏👏
Play like the f4s or f4j or some other sparrow slinger, the MP changes affect them too and its p fun, f-14a is meta again also
they did add smaller 12v12 servers
Played the whole day today, never once got anything other than 16v16, except for maybe on game at 3.0 BR
@@prelawnoob you can pick it buddy, after 10.0 watch the trailer from 18 hours ago. Learn before you speak
Brother, it’s an “opt in” type of thing. I opted in for it and also haven’t got a single game smaller than 16v16
@@Silkroad000 It works same way as night battles. You can pick one, but how often did you see them? I played like a dozen or two games at 292, and didnt saw even one.
@@_Joob gotten 5 in a row
joob you can sellect arb with less players in the gamemode sellector
How do dodge them?
There is no reliable, 100% working method anymore. 60m is basically tree altitude (dont ask, trees are ridiculously tall in air battles), and you cant possibly notch more then one missile.
No
Suggestion: Keep your speed up and have some altitude to spare. Speed is life and altitude is insurance. Depending on terrain, multipathing is still an option. But over mountainous terrain, do not consider it reliable. Try to anticipate when a missile is shot at you from opponents who may be a threat, and defend accordingly. When defending an incoming missile, put it on the 3 or 9 o'clock position and deploy chaff. It'll take some practice to get proficient at it (Especially if you need to notch in a hurry), but do not be deterred. Notching will reliably defeat every radar missile in the game, including these new ones.
They HAVE to revert the multipathing nerf if you stay below 15m you'd die to splash dmg
Good. LEARN HOW TO DEFEND AND MAKE TOP TIER INTERESTING
@tamamonomae7465 genuine question, how do you defend against missiles fired simultaneously from like 7 people at once from all around you
Depending on terrain, it's still not that hard to multipath most missiles TBH. You just have to be paying attention and know what terrain is around you (Or just try not to need to multipath the missile to the extent you can)
@CrispyMuffin2 by not flying into the giant furball, it's like the equivalent of holding shift + w in any sort of tactical shooter lol
Pick off stragglers who tunnel vision, working from high to low, keep SA always and don't be afraid to defend or go cold and run towards help if shit goes sour, if no stragglers wait until the furball develops to a point where people are dogfighting and slow and do hit and runs. Avoid high alt unless you're plane is built for it like the f15 where it performs best between mach 1.4 and 2.0
Oh and pay attention to your rwr / radar or visually identify missile launches via smoke
What I like to do in f15j in ec is just fly to 10km, hit mach 2, at that alt and speed you're pretty much untouchable, then when furball is going I slam on the brakes and dive straight down into it, launching every aa3 and 7m I can, it usually nets me 3-5 kills
All the bots asking for this, enjoy top tier now smh
its a lil to early to judge the patch rn tbh cool to see a change tho
5:42 guarantee that's the only 9L kill that poor soul's gotten since patch drop
Stock grind 2x 9Ls is gonna kill so many people.
it wasnt too bad, people aren't paying attention if u turn ur radar off
the amount of misuse of the word "larp" is hilarious.
Every time I use the vertical against someone while flying my Bf-109, I'm actually just LARPing. It has nothing to do with flying the plane how its supposed to be flown.
@@wmouse true
For 16 v 16 the multi pathing needs to be 100 I like 16 v 16 what i suggest is if you want to change it make a different mode cause i prophecize that the br of alot of planes will change cause of the multi path change if forced into this new meta my personal opinion is to just put it back at 100 its a game not a true simulator so some liberties should be taken
