    Yeah, my longest kill so far has been 72km (before this specific update/after the initial buff) and I did launch just outside of the launch envelope that time. So I pretty sure they just adjusted the lines on the side to show that it'll still track at those distances, not necessarily that it will be effective I think

      Don’t expect to get any, it’s a great jousting weapon but easy to notch even in IRL but if they don’t respect it then game over, you’re not gonna get great results in ARB bc it’s a cluster fuck with 16v16. But shooting multiple at one guy to force him cold allows you to push him without any resistance once so ever. ( if you ever manage to get a 2v2 1v1 scenario.)

    I’ve never really had luck with phoenixes when it comes to getting kills, I’m not sure what I do wrong but I usually take 2 into a match and shoot 2 at someone when I get high enough, I even keep the TWS lock so it has the best chance but they never hit, even if the enemy is flying straight it always either pulls at the last second and can’t pull enough Gs to hit, or it misses entirely, I haven’t tried them yet with this new update but I still feel like they won’t be effective enough for me to use often, hoping the Cs are more reliable!

      What's frustrating is handicapping NATO weaponry to be comparable to its Russian counterpart. For instance, the F16 g limiter. Either change all flight models to be realistic and watch player rip their wings every match, or remove the fly by wire g limiter and watch the f16 obliterate the competition. What's frustrating and creates cries of bias is when the F16 is handicapped and the Mig29 is allowed to over perform its real life counterpart. Or when the pheonix is incapable of reaching its real life velocity, range, and kill rate. While the ER overperforms. The problem War Thunder has is with modern weaponry if everything was realistic the Russian teams wouldn't stand a chance.
