Yooo big T back with another fire guide

[peepsbates]

Tim just out here like Sisyphus with his boulder with Gaijin updating RWR and Radar mechanics every few months.

One must imagine Tim happy (Which is why he gets my upvote!)

Hopefully unlike with radars, this will be relevant and accurate for a long while after it's posted.

Though if Tim's luck with his radar guides is anything to say we're about to get another RWR overhaul lol

I just love how user-friendly and easy to understand your guide are and how it feels like I'm listening to someone explain what they genuinely enjoy, plus it feels like I'm talking to someone who is a real person. Great job!

0:50 Although I chose a different specialization at university, I would still be interested in learning more about radar technology. Whe had a Prefessor from raytheon anschütz in basic course and I always found the topic very interesting.

Thanks for making such good content all the time Tim!

[admiral_knox]

Great guide as usual. Your examples are really good, especially the one showing the differences in practice between sensor-based and direction-based sensors.

US jets : the MiG-29 fired a R27ER on your 4 o'clock at about 22km


Soviet jet : there is a missle i think
Pilot: where
Soviet jet: dunno. just wanted you to know that you need to bail out in about 10 sec

A friend of mine just got his first jet with RWR, I was looking for a good video and yours happened to pop up! After watching this through it, turns out both of us learned something new about RWRs!

This is why Tim is the GOAT no doubt about it.

[gendo]

This is perfect, I remember suggesting Tim make this video back when he made his Radar video and I'm overjoyed to see he made a videon on the subject of RWR's! Thanks Tim for putting the extra effort into these, they are extremely powerful tools now!

[Kraleon]

Great video Tim; I've been flying simulator battles in my F-5E and was wondering why my RWR was picking up signals from MiG-23s despite being to their sides and behind them. I guess those side lobes and back lobe on the Sapphire radar must be huge! Makes it easy to track them down without using my own radar

[camaradeKC]

ty for this video i think we will use it to teach new members of our squadron

[vaultraider]

Freshly brewed coffee, bagel, and a guide from Tim... my Sunday is set, hell yea.

I’ve kinda been needing this for awhile cause the RWR rework added a whole bunch of new terms so, glad you made a guide on it

[CCaravan]

3:21 Love the discussion of the stat cards... really useful and as a side effect a good reference for having all units on one picture to compare directly

[walkingpineapple]

absolutely amazing video as always, thank

[Frost_x_NB]

Thank you Tim. Been waiting for this video 🙏🏽

[timwillis]

Been waiting for the new rwr guide! Thanks for doing it, love all the details, and historical facts you put into your videos.

Played thousand hours of top tier jet, drop multiples ace and yet I still learn stuff. Thank Tim.
