This video demonstrates the performance characteristics of various Fox 3 active radar homing missiles in War Thunder, including the MICA-EM (smallest, under 150 kg, 50G pull), Derby (40G, 70-second guidance), AIM-120 series (A, B, C5, D variants with increasing guidance times), R-77/RVV-AE/RVV-SD (Russian export variants), PL-12/SD-10 (Chinese variants), AAM-4 (Japanese), and AIM-54 Phoenix series (longest range, 30-second flight time). The content creator emphasizes that effective Fox 3 usage requires understanding each missile's specific guidance time, speed, and G-pull capabilities, with longer-range missiles like the AIM-54C+ offering better inertial guidance for extended engagements.

1 KILL with EVERY FOX 3 Missile in War Thunder
Added:In today's video, we're going to be playing every air-to-air Fox 3 in War Thunder. From the smallest Fox 3 all the way to the biggest. I can't promise you it's going to be the most riveting gameplay, but I can tell you I suffered.
To be clear, these are only Fox 3s or active radar homing missiles that come from planes, not from anti-air on the ground. But that video is coming, so keep an eye out for that. If you're looking to pick up something from the Gaijin store, don't forget to use my link down below. It gets you a small discount, helps me out a ton, and you also get my decal. Other than that, a quick message from this video's sponsor.
Real quick, before we get into the video, I wanted to thank the sponsor of today's video, Temu. And for all my subscribers, there's also a $0 gift tied to this using my code. But before we get into that, I want to show you guys some of the gifts that Temu sent over for me.
Some of you probably remember how sad my setup looked. Now with Temu's bigger desk mat and speaker, it's way better.
The mouse pad gives me way more room, and the speaker actually allows me to listen to the things I'm editing or watching. Maybe like me, you like to snack while you game. I picked up this portable blower, and it was probably the best choice I could have made. It has three different modes, and it blows pretty strong. Now you don't have to worry about crumbs all over your computer and all over your keyboard. But probably one of my best finds on Temu was this zero gravity chair. It's not even gaming related, but I love it. How you liking that chair, Killer West?
All right. So the first thing you're going to do is go into your app store, download the Temu app. I already have it. And this is the important part.
You're going to go into the search bar and type in the Not checkout, but in the search bar you press enter, and boom. Now you have your free item. SOME OF THE FREE ITEMS YOU'LL SEE AT THE TOP ARE EVEN THE ONES I GOT.
But there's tons of different things to select, and honestly there's a really good value here. Again, don't forget to use the code that's on the screen and down below in the description. It's what's going to unlock the items for you. Thank you again to Temu. Now let's get back into the video.
Well, it looks like we're starting this off with the Mica EM, the smallest Fox 3. Oh, that roll looked disgusting. I've launched a few missiles and nothing.
You can probably tell I haven't played this thing much, nor the Mica's.
But, they're pretty nasty missile.
All right, we got our one. Now, let's go have some fun. We got two more left.
A rocket? No, that's not what I'm looking for.
There's the F-15. We launched on him.
I highly doubt that's going to do anything though. We just need to go rearm at this point. But, yeah, the Mica's do super light. Didn't realize they were like under 150 kg. I thought they were a little bigger.
And 50 G pull? Oh, we got the F-15C.
Yeah, these things are nasty, dude. I think these would probably be one of like the best jousting missiles as far as like kind of like a knife fight.
Oh god, dude, they're still launching on me, man. I just want to land.
I just want to get more missiles, bro.
Oh my god.
OH!
HOW DID THAT NOT KILL ME? HOW DID THE shrapnel from that not kill me?
That should have killed me, dude.
Well, we have a F-15 coming in. No, he's going away from us.
Somebody's launching at us though.
SU-30, you need to notch.
Okay, he's good. He's good.
F-18's right there.
We'll get our nose up a little bit just so we can get the launch off.
Oh my god, there was a guy closer. We need to defend.
Multi-path. Multi-path.
I'm dead here, aren't I?
HEY, WE'RE GOOD.
OH, WELL, WE GOT THE F-16.
BUT, now we have to sit here Yeah, it's pretty much done. Oh, he got killed.
Perfect. I know there's a little tomfoolery going on up there.
There he is.
Launch that at him.
I don't think he's dodging that. That's way too close.
Oh, he's trying.
It ain't working.
Yeah, no, that didn't work for him, but I didn't even get to introduce the missile we're using. We're using the Derby today. 40G.
The guidance time is a little so-so at 70 seconds, but overall a decent missile. I've used it a few times and I like it, but I haven't used it that often to be honest with you. I I really haven't.
Most of Israel's stuff doesn't make you use it except for a few platforms, so okay.
That's not coming for me, right?
No, no, no, no, but we didn't hit him.
Well, that's unfortunate.
However, we can chase down this JF-17.
I'm kind of hoping he noses up a little bit. That's more than enough, I think.
We'll just launch it right there. Who's locking me? That's not good.
Pull that to the floor.
Well, we got the JF and SU-27's dead. That's actually really good.
How is my teammate over here dog fighting two people by himself?
I'm surprised he's lasting this long.
I'm going to try and help him out.
That guy's dead for sure. I don't think he's notching that. He probably doesn't even know it's coming in.
>> Please, no.
>> Oh, no, he knows.
>> No.
>> He's just screwed.
>> No. [screaming] >> Yeah, sorry, bud.
Now, where'd the F-16 go?
Kfir's still running around over there.
I don't know where this F-16 went.
Okay, he's launching at the other Kfir.
We'll go help him.
I hope this doesn't turn into an actual dog fight though, cuz I haven't played this thing in forever and I'm not exactly Okay, well, he killed the other Kfir.
He's slow though, we can take advantage of that.
I don't have any missiles, though.
That's actually terrible.
Oh, line it up.
We weren't going to hit that shot. I was pulling way too many Gs leading into that. That's mistake number one.
I don't think this guy's going to let me make too many mistakes.
I'm going to try and come down on top of him. Pause no diddy.
Can I get there?
That's another mistake that's I'm going to die now.
I don't think I can outrate an MLU.
Oh, no. I I I know what I can do. I know I can do. If I make him follow me on this when he's this slow, hopefully he crashes.
Oh, dude, just don't let him get his gun on us.
Oh, yeah, he's stupid slow. Yeah, no, I might be able to make him crash. This is like a last ditch thing, though.
If this doesn't work, I'm dead.
Oh, thank god he's missing. Oh, he's in the floor.
Biggest brain in War Thunder right here, ladies and gentlemen. Biggest brain.
I don't know why I pretend like that was planned, cuz it wasn't.
Based on the stat card on this thing, 40 Gs, not super long range, but an okay guidance time.
I Dude, you know what? This kind of reminds me of like a Mica, but not really.
I don't know the speed on this thing, but it doesn't feel like ridiculously fast, but it might be just because But I'm going kind of fast. I'm going 1.4 Mach.
I would think it would like travel a little quicker, but I don't know.
I Honestly, at the end of the day, a lot of these Fox 3s are just feeling like the same, kind of.
Except for a few of them. A few of them have like stupid long range, but I couldn't even tell if that missile was going to hit anything.
Well, I got missiles on me, so I'm just going to go ahead and start notching a little.
Well, we got one. We got the F-18D.
That's something, right?
Yeah, like I said, I don't know.
Sorry, my [clears throat] throat is like messed up. I don't know how people find BVR like so entertaining.
I have a missile in front of me as well.
I'm probably saying that throughout this whole video and it's really bad, but it's true. What?
Oh, we got two.
Okay.
Oh, we don't have any more hostiles? No, he he just respawned. That's the deal.
Okay, we'll go over it towards that base.
I know a lot of people want bigger maps to play on. Like this is an EC map to do Fox 3 gameplay, which is cool.
And it allows you to live a little longer cuz you actually get to notch and stuff, but I guess for a certain type of player this is really entertaining.
Oh, I dodged that, right? I dodged THAT, RIGHT?
HOW DID I NOT DODGE THAT? FOR THE AIM-120AS, we're taking out the AV-8B Plus.
I can't remember if this has data link, but we're basically just going to be knife fighting with this thing. Most of these guys look like they're sitting down at the deck, but I want to be under 15 km or 16 km so that it kind of just pitbulls off of it.
Cuz I don't I don't know. I don't know if this thing has data link. I'll have to look after this.
But I don't think it does.
Okay, perfect.
Got the MiG-29, it looks like.
Launch on him as well. He go straight.
OH MY GOD, WHERE IS THAT GOING? I didn't tell you to go there. Thank god it didn't hit him.
I'm surprised I haven't caught a missile on top of my head yet.
Oh, that's not hitting that guy.
No way that SU-30 is going to hawk me down, right?
Of all the guys he could go for, he's going to go for me?
Yeah, we got to kind of beat that.
Come on.
Good, we beat it.
Also a grip in here.
Oh, no.
Vito mode engage. Get the Vito going.
Oh.
Oh my god, the R-73 is going crazy next to me.
Oh, buddy.
Vito, Vito.
He can't beat me if I just sit here and stall.
Oh, no way I get this shot off. This is going to look cool.
Uh.
Nope, he j's out before. Oh, well. Well, we just go back home. There's still one guy left.
Oh, sick. And he's right here.
And I have no missiles, just guns.
Well, let's hope Let's hope we can start the dog fight with him.
Yeah, that wasn't going to hit, pal.
Come on. What are you thinking?
I need to stop talking down to people, man. I'm pretty sure people get upset about that. Even though I'm not super serious, I'm just, you know, having a good time, messing around.
F-14, you don't have to turn back around. I got this.
Come on.
Okay, maybe I don't have this. Maybe I'm about to get washed.
Oh, no. He's He's brain dead.
He could have literally just went up and been fine. Oh, well, that F-14 is here, so never mind.
Get dunked on, 894. Oh god.
That guy must be a professional.
Come on. Come on.
There we go.
Well, at least I got one gun kill in this video.
To my best knowledge, these are just AIM-120As, but I could be wrong, but I believe it's just the export version just for Germany or Switzerland, I should say.
But, I could I I I really could be wrong. The stats all look the same, though.
Tell me that hits.
Come on. Get there.
>> [screaming] >> All right, perfect. We got that.
Well, we still got five missiles left, so that's actually pretty good. This guy's close. Holy smorgasbord! Look at all THESE GUYS UP HIGH.
PERFECT. Give me that. Give me him, too.
Still got one more left. Can we make it pull for this?
Come on. Pull.
Barely missed.
You kidding me? I didn't hit any of those guys?
Of course I died of friendly fire.
Of course.
That that just had to happen. I'm going to be so for real with you when it becomes AIM-120B, C5, D, I really don't know the differences. I know between the B and the C, there's a longer guidance time for the C5's, but that's about where my knowledge ends.
So, if you know, let people know down below. I'm sure I'll put the stats on screen for the B, but I I Dude, I don't know.
We're letting these out hoping for the best.
Somebody else is F-14 and a MiG-29 looking at me.
I kind of want to get these out before I have to worry about anything.
We can kind of start to go into like a mini notch now.
Yeah, we're we're notching.
Okay.
Severely damaged aircraft is a kill.
But, dog, how do you make this funny?
How do you How do you edit this to be interesting? All I did was ripple off some missiles and turn.
I I Call me a failed content creator, but I don't know what to do for this. Oh, that guy's nice and close.
We got to go for him.
There we go. Hard lock.
Immediately start defending. I didn't start defending fast enough. I'm going too fast.
I'm not I can't defend that.
Bad angle.
Two kills.
There should be more. Three, okay.
You know what? I'll take that.
We We We launched our first salvo of missiles and they did nothing, so we're getting kind of aggressive and we're just going to push these guys on the pause on the side of the map. Also, I didn't know RB29s were just AIM-120s.
Apparently, it's based off the AIM-120B and AIM-120C5 or just C.
But, you know, it was given license in Sweden, but never knew that. I thought Sweden made its own domestic thing.
But, I don't even think they have the same stats as AIM-120Bs, though, honestly.
I'll have to take a look.
Brother.
Where's the missile going? Okay, sick.
We got him, at least.
Now, I just need to The only got one left.
Stop.
I'm getting pinged from behind.
I should be okay for a second.
Yeah, head up.
I should start notching now. I don't know why I'm staying heads up with him.
We beat that. We beat that.
Yeah, we beat that. Sick. Oh.
That's one way to get two kills, just be stupid aggressive for no reason. And the match is over. I didn't get to do anything else. Love that for me. I was actually super excited to use the AIM-120C5s until I actually got into This is like my my third match in this thing.
I threw off my missiles to BVR and none of them hit.
And then I'm left with like one or two trying at the end of the match to hurry up and get a kill.
It's It's terrible, man. Like it's a skill issue, but we're working through it. We're We're figuring it out.
That Typhoon is doing weird stuff on my radar, but I'm going to hope it gets the kill.
Come on.
Get out there. You can do it.
Okay, he came back towards me. He's going to eat it. Come on.
Yeah, okay. Well, at least we got a C5 kill.
That's That's something.
I ain't leaving here with just one kill, buddy. Ain't no way.
I hate just leaving with one kill. I know the video is called one kill with every, but I I I hate leaving with just one kill, man. It makes me feel weird inside.
Let's line it up.
Okay, line it up better.
There we go.
>> [laughter] >> Sometimes I crack myself up, man. Like I've been playing this game for so long that I think like, "Oh, I'm so I'm going to hit that easy." And then I still miss.
No, no, no. What the WHAT IN THE TOP GUN IS THAT, BUDDY?
YOU KNOW WHAT? GOOD TRY, THOUGH. Good try. That almost worked. Now I feel better. We can leave this game. Pretty explanatory from the name of this missile that it's a C5, but you know, export missiles, we got to do them, so I don't think I did that well with the regular AIM-120C5, but hopefully with this one we can get a little something done.
He's dead. He ain't living through that.
I know for a fact he ain't living through that.
Why do they feel so slow, though?
Nah, I'm probably just tripping. I'm tripping. Ain't no way.
They felt slow, but it may have just been the distance. Oh god.
Go ahead and eat this.
Yeah, buddy. No MCM for you.
Oh, man. He crashed into a tree. Sick.
Well, that figures. Dog, the match is already like winded down and I've only launched one missile. Oh, SU-27.
You know what? We'll launch on him. I'm actually surprised he's kind of flying towards me here.
Oh. We'll see what that one does cuz there's no one really else around to shoot at. This is actually getting kind of close to him now. I should probably watch it.
Brother, I know your RWR is going crazy right now.
Huh.
Just going to let it happen, huh?
No flares, no chaff, nothing?
All right. Well, we got the Typhoon.
We'll go after him way out there in the boonies.
I don't think I said anything about the AIM-120D, but I really don't have much to say about it.
It's supposedly the best, right?
I I I'm not going to lie. I tried to watch uh one of the YouTubers, General Lee's video on like what's better, the AIM-9C or sorry, AIM-120C5 or the AIM-120D or the AIM-120B.
I guess the AIM-120D and the AIM-120C5 are pretty comparable. There's just like some better stuff that each one does, but I couldn't follow it, man. I I honestly didn't care. They're basically the same to me.
For the most part. There are obviously some differences, but I'm just spamming this guy. I don't even care.
Some's got to hit, right? Yeah, there you go.
Well, on to the next. We're going to play this a little more aggressive. I already let off a few R-77s from distance and they did absolutely nothing, so we're going to be a little more aggressive. I know there's a lot of hate for R-77s. People think that they don't do very well.
I don't have all the experience of R-77s to really know, but my understanding is that they're kind of slow.
Just the way they're built, but hey, you know what?
So be it. We're still going to be aggressive here.
20 km away, I'm not really worried about that.
I even brought R-73s this go round cuz I don't I I I have to do something halfway aggressive. I can't not get into the mix.
Perfect. There's a guy close.
I don't even know if you could really call this being aggressive, though.
Get in there. There we go.
F-15 as well. We got nothing but R-73s left, so now it's just it's just fun from here.
10 km R-73 shot, no way, right?
He actually might eat it because he doesn't even know it's near him. Look at that.
Yeah, he's going to eat that.
Hopefully that other F-15 eats it as well.
Actually, he's going to eat it as well.
Wow.
Hey, you know what? Being aggressive pays off sometimes. It just goes to show you that not all matches or not all games you can just use one form of attacking somebody. Okay, that was a bad launch, but just having these R-73s in my kit as well as R-77s, I probably did the best that I've done so far in recording. And I'm about halfway through recording, and so far, this is the only ace we've got, which is kind of surprising, but oh, well.
Same thing here is, ladies and gentlemen, same thing here, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm playing aggressive here. I'm I am so sick of doing this BVR [ __ ] dude, and MCM or whatever, where you just shoot down missiles. It's annoying, man.
There we go. You're dead.
I'm bringing R-73s as well to make this a little more bearable on myself. I'm getting really annoyed just playing, you know, that's so dumb to say, though. I'm getting annoyed making the video that I've wanted to make.
But, it is what it is, right?
But, the RVV-AE's are the export version of the R-77's.
And so far, they're doing work, for the most part.
Get in there.
Get Okay. Or don't.
Okay, perfect. That one got in.
We'll make that one do its thing. Almost got hit by a missile there.
That wasn't good.
But, there you go.
We got a few kills here.
Dog, I launched all my missiles and didn't get a single kill.
Skissue, skill issue to the max. I'm going to be so for real, I am just going to start launching missiles.
I have enough teammates here to make up for the fact that if I just launch, nothing bad could possibly happen, right?
Oh, there's a lot more guys left than I thought.
I kind of thought we didn't have that many guys left.
Can we lock him, please?
Can we lock him, please? There we go.
Making a fool out of me. All right, we got that guy.
That guy's high altitude, he may not see it coming.
The Gripen, though, I need to worry about.
All right, we got the other guy.
That was the fastest three kills after not getting any. Well, we've already landed once and picked up more RVV-SD's.
If you didn't know, these are the export versions of the R-77-1's. And I got to say, these things are kind of nasty.
Yeah, my my first go didn't do anything.
And if you're wondering what I'm doing right now, I'm shooting at this guy's GBU's, cuz [ __ ] it, why not, right?
But, before I get into that, cuz I don't think I'm going to fight very soon, I was wrong.
Um in a lot of videos, like, for example, this is the Malaysian SU-30, I would call it the Japanese SU-30 cuz it's in the Japanese tech tree.
And I was wrong, man. You know what? I was wrong.
It is the Malaysian SU-30.
Just because it's in the Japanese tree doesn't mean I should be calling it the Japanese SU-30.
And let me explain why.
Details matter and representation matters, right? Oh my god.
Kill him. Kill him immediately. Whack his pee-pee.
Oh god. What You know what? I killed a GBU at least. We got two more R-77 SDs. I'm kind of just launching these out like candy though.
Get around to him.
Off board.
Well, really not off board, but you know what I mean.
BUT YEAH.
REPRESENTATION GOD DAMN IT, I CAN'T EVEN FINISH WHAT I'M SAYING.
NOTCH THAT.
OKAY, we're good on that.
Go ahead and lock that.
I don't know why it's calling it F-15 a multi-jet.
Where is the missile going?
Don't tell me It is it. It's an A-4. Oh my god.
He just happened to be right behind him.
You know what though? We can use guns.
I'm not too worried about using guns on him.
But yeah, representation matters, man.
You know, my last name's kind of complicated and everyone I hit that I'm different. I'm absolutely different. I can't even have a serious talk while playing, dude. I get to ex- Okay, I didn't just miss those. You guys didn't see that. You guys didn't see that, but we got one more guy to go after, I think. We're going to land and rearm and go after him.
Here's this guy. He's He's slowly coming in. As soon as we get off the floor, we're going to let a couple rip off on him real quick.
I really need to get some pressure on him.
There's one. There's the other.
We'll get defensive.
Hopefully that'll make him kind of put his nose down a little bit.
Oh, he put a missile at me. Yeah, now he's getting defensive. Okay, good.
We're going to try and use our terrain to our advantage to the best of the best of our ability, but Yeah, long story short what I was saying earlier is just representation matters, you know.
It's good to uh be precise and detail-oriented. So, I'm going to try and do that more in the in the future.
It looks like he's going to be following the valley that's just in front of me.
Hopefully we can kind of pick up and surprise him.
We'll go for the long side over here real quick and we'll just pop out. I don't think he knows exactly where I am.
Nope.
He has no clue. Too late to launch now.
Yep, tried to launch last second, but that WAS GENERALLY A FUN MATCH. WELL, I was hoping for a little kill on that F-14 that's launching all those uh AIM-54s out there, but doesn't look like that's going to happen.
Oh. Oh, look at all these guys below me.
See, this is when Fox 3s get nasty, dude. You start dropping them on people's heads like this, it's over. Oh, we did get the F-14.
But see, bro, like look at that. That was probably like a 30-second flight time to get to that F-14. Who the hell wants to wait? What do I do What do I do for 30 seconds while that missile comes in?
What do I do? I just sit there and talk my head off to you guys? Like, it's the most boring gameplay ever.
Hopefully in post I just cut that out.
All right, two kills.
We have no more missiles, we go back to base.
Now that I think about it, I don't really see Where's the F-14 at?
Oh, he's over there.
I don't really see that many like large ARB content creators just make you know, like Fox 3 content or top-tier gameplay. It's really just info content.
Like, "Oh, this is the new thing coming for the update." Like, I really don't see anybody just play the damn jets just to do it. Or they don't do BVR probably. That's probably what my mistake is.
Beyond visual range gameplay is just Come on, buddy.
Good, we got him.
We almost got destroyed by that, but that's okay.
There's somebody else around here though, somewhere.
So, that's where you were. You were running back to base.
I would really like to launch at him, and I have already, but my missiles ain't going to catch him.
I'm just going to get altitude.
We'll let that one out. See if it can catch him while he's on the airfield, but I doubt it's going to do what we want it to do, right?
Yeah, no way it does.
Yeah, he's already landed. That ain't going to hit him.
Yeah, it lost him already. All right.
Yeah, come up off the airfield.
If this is a 1 V 2, I probably would have let him off the airfield. And if I had more experience in this thing, I probably would have let off the airfield, but no. I have no experience with PL-12s other than knowing they're like 38 G missiles.
So, I I I'm I'm not taking the risk. So far, they're not bad, but they also don't seem that fast. I could be wrong though. And he crashes into the tree. What a Mhm.
What an absolute specimen.
So, my understanding of the SD-10s are that they're just an export version of the PL-12s, but I wonder if there's really any like difference between the two.
I do think the SD10A's or SD10's go one mach mach one faster than the PL-12's. I think that's what it was when I did my research on them, but I could be wrong. Or it could be switched. You would think the export missile would be weaker than the domestic missile, but I could be wrong. I'm sure somebody's going to let me know know down in the comments like, "Hey, you're a [ __ ] dumbass." But, you know.
This guy down here is 20 km. I'm not going to get a kill with any of those.
Maybe that 19 or 18 km one right there.
But, I don't think those other ones are going to do anything.
That's closing in quick.
Yeah, he's dead.
This guy has to die, too, right? No way he doesn't. Okay, I didn't even kill him.
Well, you know what? They all can't be great matches.
All right. This time we're going to try and actually BVR BVR.
Uh we're using the PL-12A's.
Over the PL-12, I think it gets GNSS.
It has a longer guidance time from like 80 to 120 seconds.
But, for the most part, I think everything else is the same, but I really shouldn't be shooting some of these.
But, we get 10 PL-12A's, so it seems like it could be worth it, but I'm honestly probably only going to get one kill off of all of this. I I'm I'm shooting a little too far. I should be probably doing like 50 km or less.
You know, there's a guy named Sensei Sensei bro? I think it's Sensei bro.
I've seen him stream a few times, and he plays top tier ARB a lot, especially with Fox 3's.
And I may have to get some matches in with him to like really tone or like figure out what I'm doing with these Fox 3's, dude. Cuz I I be pretty lost.
I might catch a missile here.
No, no, no. No, no, no. It went off my RWR. We got one kill.
Launch on him.
Oh, god.
There's one coming straight to my face.
We're going to try and notch.
I don't know if I'm notching very well.
It's straight to my side. I'm all out of flares and chaff. Yeah, okay.
Well, oh, two kills. Woohoo! Top two so fun. Man, if there's one thing the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force can do, say that three times fast, they can make a livery, dude. That is just gorgeous.
So, on this bad boy, we got the AAM-4's.
They're not the best Fox 3's. They don't pull the most G's. They're not super light. They don't have the longest guidance, but they're pretty good in my book.
I'll put one down on him real quick.
I really don't know if I should be putting these out at 40 km, but we'll test a couple of those out and see what they do.
Oh, I'm already getting picked up.
Yeah, we're going to have to start moving.
I'm getting Yeah, I got fired on from No, I'm good. I'm good. I'm notching.
I'm notching.
We'll come back around real quick.
One of those should hit, right?
There we go.
If you're wondering how I know if these are going to hit, on the right hand of the screen, that line that's coming off the circle, that's telling me when it's getting close to hitting.
Oh, I'm going to have to pick up another missile right here.
I don't even think I'm notching correctly, to be honest with you. I can't tell if I beat it.
I have multiple people pinging me, though.
All right, that's two.
That's three, actually.
That's not bad.
I think I beat that. I don't think I beat the MiG-29's missile, though. Yeah, we didn't beat the MiG-29's. We beat everything else, though. Well, it looks like we're in a slight up tier up to a probably about 13.0, so but we do have the AIM-54As up on deck.
I remember when these came out and they were devious, man, before people knew the multi-path and all that stuff, but they're nothing compared to the Cs, sue me.
I mean, they're all right. They're We'll see what we can get done. We got six of them.
I'm pretty sure those two out on high altitude targets are going to do something pretty decent.
Looks like nobody's actually launching at me yet.
Oh, yeah. No, somebody is launching at me.
I'm debating if I just want to take the death and just try and get as many people as I can, though.
One of those is closing in on somebody pretty quick.
Hopefully it gets him. It's getting close.
Launch on him.
Launch on this bad boy over here. That's one.
Oh, I'm dead.
Something Something's close to me and it's moving quick. Yeah.
Oh, it was an AIM-54C and we traded.
Wow.
We ended up with four kills off of that, so maybe the AIM-54As aren't aren't that bad. These are the AIM-54C plusses on the F-14D in the dev server. I heard that there's really not that big a difference for the AIM-54Cs compared to, you know, what's already in game, but I figured I might as well add in the video. By the time the full video comes out where it's like all the missiles of War Thunder, I'll have it in the live server, but for now you guys got to be happy with that, so sorry.
Well, we got these AIM-54Cs spooled up and ready to go.
I think the only real thing that these have over the A's is better inertial guidance.
They kind of like take over if you lose lock too early, they take over a little better. Like they won't completely just start flipping out, but I could be wrong. Let me know down in the comments cuz I've been known to be wrong.
But, I got to say, man, I After recording a lot of this video already, these are probably the most fun Fox 3s to use. I can't even lie to you.
All right, we got launches.
I'm just going to let Oh, I actually used them all up already.
All right, we're going to start kind of pulling off a little.
Hopefully, there's no Fox 3 up.
SU-33 took a little bite out of him.
Oh, yeah, we got a missile coming towards us.
We're going pretty fast, though. 1.36 F-18's getting chewed apart.
What about that other F-18?
Tell me he gets Yeah, he gets absolutely chewed up, too.
Oh my gosh. Yeah, we're getting out of here now.
We're still relatively fast, so we should be able to just get out of here and there's the SU-33.
I got to level with you guys, okay? I've been like thinking this over. How the hell do you edit a Fox 3 video to be entertaining when it's just BVR and if you try and get like close in, results are going to vary because if somebody's sitting on top of you, pause no diddy, with another Fox 3, you're dead.
So, I just don't get the allure of it. I don't get how to make this kind of content like super entertaining other than like a super high kill game or some kind of crazy dog fight or something like that and this format of video doesn't really let you do that. Like don't don't don't get me wrong. I can play each one of these Fox 3s like 80 times for each missile and just cherry-pick the best content from it, but I feel like that's not like super entertaining. I don't know.
The F-14's dude are actually super nasty, man. If you guys didn't know, these are pretty fast, man. And with them being that fast, I know that like G overload isn't something like amazing, but because they go so damn fast, they can turn a little harder.
Dude, these things will beat out AIM-54's getting to you every time. So, it's kind of like a crutch, dude. Like, you can fire almost after someone with the AIM-54 fires and yours are still going to get there first. So, they're kind of nasty, man.
There's been a lot of times that I think I'm going to die shooting at another uh what is it called? F-14 and I don't and I get to notch and actually get away from these.
It's It's nasty, man. I really like these.
But, I think it's pretty much a consensus most of the community really likes the F-14's or see them as unfair realistically, but we got all of ours out. So, we'll just pull off cuz I think they're all pitbull now.
I think they're all going to their targets. Hopefully, they hit something good.
We're actually going to start turning around and going back towards base just so we can rearm, but hopefully we get one or two out of those six. I think I had six.
There's one.
Maybe we'll get a few more than that, actually.
But, I have a feeling there's two. I have a feeling people are going to get destroyed before I even get there.
Yeah, I know.
What do you know? I'm the last one alive.
Well, you might as well just try launching these bad boys out.
Ooh.
He just got killed by his teammate?
That sucks.
I guess we'll launch on this guy. He's kind of low, though.
I'm kind of waiting to see if he locks me first. I don't know why, but I'm hoping that he kind of lifts his nose.
I don't know what that is. I think that's an AI over there.
No, that's a missile, huh?
No, I have no clue what that is. That's a missile, though.
Launch.
That probably was a missile that I was looking at.
Do we get both of these guys?
We got one of them.
Huh, you know what? Best I could hope for just using buck wars, honestly.
Before this video ends, I wanted to talk to you guys about something. I think it's important. I hope you guys stick around to hear it. And I think there's some people that would gain something from hearing me say it. Like many of you, I have goals and aspirations both personally and professionally. And sometimes, you know, we fall short of those goals. And that's okay. So many times do we see wins that we don't see all the losses that precipitated that win. Nobody advertises that. Nobody shows how many times they've lost before they finally win. And I say all that to say, you just haven't done it yet.
Whatever your goal, whatever your aspiration, you're just not there yet. It's not a matter of if, it's when. When I get there. And a lot of the times, when you reach that aspiration, you think the struggle is over, but it's even worse.
I heard a saying once, when you pray for rain, you have to deal with the mud, too. And it's beyond true. Just because you reach your goal doesn't mean the struggles go away. They continue. But how lucky are you to be in a position to chase your dreams, to attain your goals?
How lucky are you? How many people would die to be in your position? In a way, I guess I'm saying how lucky are you to struggle. I tell you all this to say, I'm still struggling. I'm still chasing my dreams and I hope you are too.
