I know what we see on the TH-cam video is far different from whatever you see on your monitor, but I'm always impressed with your map knowledge and ability to spot specific targets. Nice stuff, bro.
@NovaNeedsTherapy honestly, people don't notice that it takes skill to use that pantsir when you fight someone who also knows what they're doing. But even doing that, the pantsir will almost always lose. But often you're shooting people down who space climb and fly straight which just is a easy kill for the pantsir.
@@esbiandog333 Yeah people just see a pantsir with 6 air kills in a match because all the cas jets just flew in a straight line and got hit, a competent aircraft is pretty much unbeatable, especially if you are fighting a country like america where you can have a few cas jets and apaches up
That first guy went from so relived to dead in 2 seconds flat haha nice work. You love to see it because look at the work you put in and he just sitting there waiting to click 2 buttons for a kill.
The poi was still on the target from when he locked in the camera of the first missile. After firing the first missile you just have to press the lock AGM button a second time from third person and then fire it.
@@Rooster_94 Thanks. I'll give that a try. I feel like my camera moves away from the target after I fire, but I don't quite remember. Will report back.
I like how these bombs have a max release speed of Mach 1 but you can release them well beyond that. Physically it doesn't make much sense that they'd have a max release unless the TV system electronics aren't able to calculate fast enough to be accurate at speeds above Mach 1. Edit: I say physically because they're attached to the aircraft releasing the and they don't rip apart so in theory the release speed is whatever velocity the plane is traveling at. Another limiting factor could be aileron deflection because faster speeds mean greater resistance and force exerted on control surfaces

Block 50 and SMT. Makes it look like they are setting up for active radar missile meta. Kind of worried about how that will affect all the 11.3 and 11.7 jets. If they bring in aim120 and equivalents at 12.3 the lower br's are going to get wrecked. It is likely still a few patches off but considering the news about the JAS39C it may be sooner rather than later. I worry that they may be rushing this hoping that it will become a big payday.
if they are going to keep adding these newer more advanced aircraft they need to add better AA for US and some other nations as the LAV-AA and ADATS have a harder time competing with them.
@@Hunter_i86 Also since the new block 50 has a more powerful engine will we see a Cobra maneuver on take off since the F-16 can technically do that and this variation is nicknamed the Viper.
How do you fire two Mavericks like that without going back into the TV targeting screen and re locking the Pantsir again? Is there a key bind or ripple quantity?
Hi Hunter, i wonder, when you marked a red square to find target, did you use Sight Stabilization or active target point? and can you make a vid about some tip to approach the battle field and find enemy AAA. cause i alway got shot down by the enemy AAA SAM before i could do anything. one more, watching you play CAS is so satisfy.
The high resolution FLIR on the F-16C's thermal pod was confirmed to be intentional. It's just a weird way for implementing it in the game files but intentional. Sadly they ignored the part of my report where it should be renamed to Litening AT and have the FoVs fixed (24°-1°, about 3x-75x zoom).
@@jordancourse5102 Yep, it's 1080x720 vs the regular 500x300 for most gen 1 pods. IRL gen 3 FLIR for TGPs is only 640x512 (Litening ER/AT), but luckily Gaijin uses their own standard.
The poi was still on the target from when he locked in the camera of the first missile. After firing the first missile you just have to press the lock AGM button a second time from third person and then fire it.
So I didn’t watch your videos so I’m just amazed). you play so well. I stopped playing top-end vehicles because of the armor. I hope it will be easier to find on the new f 16 with a thermal imager.
No, even IRL the F-16A did use GBU-8 or GBU-15 as they were a shortlived weapon. You get the Litening TGP and GBU-12, GBU-24, and AGM-65D on the F-16C Block 50.
hi. And can I please have a video on the T-80Uk (if of course you have it), I'm just pumping it now, I want to see how it is played, thank you in advance
I’m hyped for the Block 50. Now I’ll have a better fighting chance in sim. I’m praying the snail addresses and fixes sim servers so my mavericks and paveways don’t disappear/ explode.
Jordan, do you think they will remove G load limiter from F-16C? Man pulling 14G with block 10 in dev server was gorgeous, I was really feeling that I was flying a 4th gen jet at all speeds.
@@Hunter_i86 I think they’ll tweak that tbh. 14Gs is obsurd, it’s the lack of AOA when you have more than 20 min of fuel you’re a brick. I run 20 min fuel with a drop tank and sit on 70% thr in sim and go burner in BVR / BFM.
Looks like somebody else is as excited for a Viper with LGBs as me :p Good thing that the F-5C will be upranked so I can research the Block 10 then (have the ADF).
@@vizender ; Just checked on the new open Dev server, I was able to buy the Block 50 without having the Block 10 at the start of the folder researched.

Well godspeed to the american F-16, but Japan and Italy won't upgrade (for now). What's your take on the new GBU for the iraeli F-16D, Hunter or did you not get to use it before servers shut down?
I tried it, I love TV guided bombs in general, GBU-8 is my favorite of course, but I hate the ones that can't be dropped over Mach 1 speed, GBU-15 is one of these bombs .. it is for a high altitude slow run or dive with air brake ON which are risky approaches if any SPAA was online. A slow aircraft is a dead aircraft. I think all bombs were under Mach 1 speed in dev server on F-16D, it might be a bug, because the GBU-16 laser guided bomb on other planes is over Mach 1, while on F-16D is under Mach 1, in dev server.
This is live server, where the F-16A pulls 9G max, the next update G Load limiter will be removed from F-16 Block 10, this jet will pull 14G like it is nothing haha. It will be a beast.
@@Hunter_i86Agreed, it's hilarious how people are like "I'm still using the F-16A over the F-16C because of the dogfighting 🤓", the Aim-9M will be used in 95% of the combat you parttake in, compared to the 5% of the time you dogfight and then you get 3rd partied. Making the F-16C better overall.
Well, I might be wrong in my comment .. I tested so much in dev server B10 & B50 so I stopped remembering last time I tried Block 50 G-Load limiter removed or not, I don't remember to be honest .. if G-Load limiter removed from both B10 & B50 then the pulling difference should be not much in a dog fight and if G-Load limiter is removed from B10 only then it will be significantly better in a dog fight, but even so .. AIM-7M, Maverick D and TGP will be more important to me I guess because I play Ground RB and Air Sim EC mainly. We shall wait and see.
Great work, man i'm looking forward to when Russian fixed wing cas catches up a little in capability - 27k & frogs do great don't get me wrong, but still got nothing on competent f16's. Cant wait to try them out when i unlock them sometime next update haha
I won't get you wrong, you are on point. USSR still being with no thermal imaging jet started to feel they are a little bit behind to be honest, I don't know if Su-24 has thermal imaging but we shall see when someday it comes to the game. Thanks a lot :)
@@Andy_M.S.c Germany has a plane with thermal imaging, we weren't talking about maneuvering my friend. Japan, China and Sweden are also behind when it comes to CAS technology in high tier .. I didn't say they are not.
@@Hunter_i86Again: What use is a thermal imager if you have to manually aim bombs to be "close enough" with a boat of a plane. A tank with thermals and a kolibri pistol "cannon" isn't good just cause it has thermals, the I would take my 27K with K29T/Ls any day over my tornado, rus not suffering at all lmao but yea the other nations have neither a boat nor a non-thermal plane, they have zero, probably should get on top of those first
@@FirstDagger So that means as long as you had the target lased, the bomb will remember where the target is once laser designation is broken? So it’s like fire and forget?
