Title: Funny one for all you jet jocks
Post by: hazmatt on November 14, 2025, 06:38:09 AM
I recently got a shiny new F‑5E FCU. On my first flight I took of and as normal starting climbing for alt. After a minute or two I noticed there was nobody around me. I looked around wondering where everybody was. I spotted them, all on the deck. I thought to myself. I wonder why they're all down there. A couple seconds later my RWR lost it's mind. I quickly notched and dove for the deck narrowly escaping with my life. This jet thing is a completely different animal then I'm used to.

I like the F-5E but the missile tone volume is too low. Can barely hear it or not at all.

I see you're referring to War Thunder.

Oh boy. I think I need to go back to trainer planes.

I also recently got a Sea Harrier FRS and have had no success with it at all. Mig 21s and Mig 23s have been kicking my butt. I don't have much luck evading multiple R‑60Ms.  I got sniped by a R‑24R from a Mig 23 that must have been close to 40km away. We were fighting over desert terrain so there wasn't much cover and since I just got the plane I hadn't had been able to research the chaff pods because I haven't been able to get any kills in it. Sometimes I think this missile slinging thing isn't for me.

How would you compare the sensor modeling in WT with DCS?
