War Thunder | Optimal Climb Strategy for ARH Employment | F-16, AIM-120

I have seen multiple posts on the subreddit showing terrible climb profiles that are essentially zoom climbs to 30kft. These leave you with minimal energy & extremely vulnerable. It is better to climb relatively shallow, holding a high IAS. Not only do you get up to altitude fast enough, but you arrive going way faster. From there you could even do a substantially more effective zoom climb if you want to loft the missiles. Speed is much more important than altitude for the missile's total energy. According to the laws of physics: * Kinetic energy = Ek = (mv^2)/2 * Gravitational potential energy ("altitude energy") = Ep = mgh The key variables we control are v - velocity and h - height. Velocity, however, is squared - this means velocity is substantially more impactful to the total energy you impart onto the missile launch. tl;dr - Going fast is better than going high. This is of course not to discount going high. These modern(-ish) planes can only reach these insanely high speeds at altitude anyway. Plus it gives the missile more opportunity to fly through thinner air, helping its energy conservation. The main point is you should be conserving your own energy rather than foolishly giving it up in a zoom climb right at the start of the match - but I digress. 0:00 Takeoff strategy 0:32 Climb strategy 2:05 Arriving at altitude 3:40 Trying for kills 5:20 Final engagement
