[Development] FOX-3: Active Radar Homing Missiles - News - War Thunder (2024)

FAQs

What is the strongest missile in War Thunder? ›

The Kh-29T (9M721) is the biggest air-to-ground missile with its sister, the Kh-29L. It is comparable to heavy-duty utility bombs carried by various planes, making it one of the deadliest missiles in-game.

Semi-active radar homing (SARH) is by far the most common "all weather" guidance solution for anti-aircraft systems, both ground- and air-launched. It has the disadvantage for air-launched systems that the launch aircraft must keep moving towards the target in order to maintain radar and guidance lock.

Active radar homing (ARH) is a missile guidance method in which a missile contains a radar transceiver (in contrast to semi-active radar homing, which uses only a receiver) and the electronics necessary for it to find and track its target autonomously.

Medium-range missiles that have an ARH seeker are also known as “FOX-3”, a codeword used by NATO pilots to indicate that they had been launched.

The following aircraft are available as nuclear delivery vehicles in ground realistic battles: BR 6.7-7.7: ☢Tu-4 / ☢B-29A-BN. BR 8.0-9.0: ☢IL-28 / ☢ Canberra B Mk 6. BR 9.3+: ☢Su-7BKL / ☢Jaguar A.

The F11F-1 Tiger is a supersonic carrier-based jet fighter equipped with the Wright J65-W-18 engine. The plane is able to reach about Mach 1 speed in level speed (climbing may be necessary) making it one of the fastest planes at its battle rating, but getting it past that speed will require some diving.

BVR just scans beyond visual range All you gotta do is change the radar search range and size. It is not different in features. It just changes the range that it sees. Only the mig23 has a radar with two different features.

IRCM. Infrared countermeasures include light energy emitted from non-coherent flashlamps and direct it towards an incoming missile in an attempt to blind the missile's infrared sensors.

Some missiles have a miniature radar system in the nose. It transmits a radio signal and “locks on” to the return. Examples here would be the AIM-120 AMRAAM and the now retired AIM-64 Phoenix missile's.

The main technology that a military aircraft takes advantage of to lock on and track an enemy aircraft is its onboard mounted radar. Aircraft monitors generally have two modes: search and track. In search mode, the radar sweeps a radio beam across the sky in a zig-zag pattern.

What is no escape zone? ›

The no-escape zone is the zone within which there is a high (defined) kill probability against a target even if it has been alerted. This zone is defined as a conical shape with the tip at the missile launch.

The Americans developed a semi-active guided bomb called the BAT missile [2]. A few of these were converted to fully active missiles which saw service in 1944. In the authors' knowledge, this is the first active Radar Guided missile. It was used in an anti-ship role.

Fox 4 is an obsolete term for air-to-air or air-to-surface cannon fire. The call for firing active radar-guided missile such as the AIM-120 would be "Fox 3".

“FOX 2” signified an infrared missile (such as the AIM-9 Sidewinder), and “FOX-3” indicated you had switched to guns.

Aim-120 just seems to be the outright best fox-3 due to it having what looks like very low drag. It has too little energy potential to make launching in TWS worth it, generally runs out of energy too early unless you launch at high speed and high altitude.

Description. The Type 5 is currently the most powerful gun mounted on an IJA tank in War Thunder. It draws parallels to the famed German 88 mm KwK43, sporting similar muzzle velocity and penetration, but with significantly increased explosive filler and improved angled armour penetration.

APFSDS rounds are the most powerful kinetic rounds available in-game. APFSDS is first made available to some late Rank V vehicles, and is mainly the primary round for most Rank VI or VII vehicles.

Mounted on many destroyers and cruisers in the Japanese naval tech tree, the Type 93 torpedo has one of the furthest range and is one of the largest and fastest ship-launched torpedoes in the game. This powerful torpedo can allow even light ships to remain effective against the most armoured ships in the game.
