Given your statements you don’t seem to.
2 BOL flares twice as often due to the halved burn time.
Indeed
Not entirely, exhaust temp, or gaijin’s calculation of such also comes into play, its why the F-14A can be all aspected by even things like the AIM-9J from 5km+ head on if it’s in full AB even though its max AB thrust is only 8020 kgf.
Indeed, although interesting that you seem to posture that the EF is somehow uniquely effected by it’s thrust when it’s spaded combined thrust output is on the low end of top tier. I sure don’t hear SU-30 pilots complaining as hard as you are about trying to avoid IR AAMs even though their total heat signature is vastly larger.
Alrighty then, since we are going to play hardball I’ll break out the wall of data just for you.
Large Caliber CM - Standard Caliber CM - BOL
Duration - 4.5 [] 4.4 [] 1.8
Emission profile - 0.4, 4.0, 4.4 [] 0.4,4.0,4.4 [] 0.75,1.65,1.8
Emission 2 - 4.5 [] 1.0 [] 0.6
Chaff properties ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud - 0.05,0.1,17.0,20.0 [] 0.05,0.1,12.0,15.0 [] 0.05,0.1,12.0,15.0
Mult - 1.1 [] 0.2 [] 0.05
So, as you can see above, a single large CM is 22 times more potent than a BOL chaff burst by it’s mult alone, a standard chaff CM is only 4 times more effective than a BOL chaff charge per it’s mult alone.
Large CM chaff >>>>>>>> Everything else.
A large CM is roughly 8 times more effective than a BOL flare, and a standard CM is roughly twice as effective as a BOL CM. Thus, the specified chart is accurate for flares.
Due to the lower efficacy difference, it is plainly obvious that large countermeasure charges should be used for chaff exclusively, with BOL and standard CM slots being used for flares.
Yes, such is a mistake.
Yes, such is the right way to go about it.
Yes, and I agree that large countermeasure flares are better than standard flares and BOLs, however I have stated that large CM charges are better used for chaff if you have BOL pods, not doing so is handicapping yourself.
I don’t recall stating that the F-15E is a weak top tier aircraft anywhere in this thread, as far as I am aware, beyond this conversation we are having now I’ve not talked about the F-15E at all.
Ah never mind, you were making another strawman argument … sigh.
Oh boy two for two on the strawman, please put more words in my mouth.
Been stuck with a completed tree for a while now but ok.
Yes, but you already know that correct? You have been busy looking at my stats so you should already know what I play, it does not dispute the fact that you are using the countermeasures you have been given incorrectly.
There we go again, where have I claimed in this thread that the F-15E is a bad aircraft? The only components of the aircraft that I have spoken to are, the SNIPER ATP missing a mode of function, and gaijin breaking all radars in game this patch, including the F-15E. I have not once spoken to the total efficacy of the aircraft in this thread.
Oh man thats rich.
You are aware that the spaded F-14A and B both have almost double the thrust due to having, well, two engines. Not to mention the exhaust temp of the pegasus harriers at wep is right around 1500F, meanwhile the F-14B’s non AB operating temp is 1698F, or 1713F in AB, far in excess of what any harrier is capable of outputting in game. Also obligatory “THE F-14A IS AS HOT AS THE SUN” moment, the 100% operating temp of the F-14A is 2107F and the AB temp is 2147F, way WAY in excess of any normal aircraft in game.
So no, both F-14s, ESPECIALLY the F-14A, are vastly hotter than any of the harriers.
32 Large CMs + BOLs are fine if you use them right, not to mention the tornados are also not that hot to begin with, with an operating temp of 1626F and an AB temp of 1652F, slightly below that of the operating temp F-14B, but, of course, due to their far FAR lower thrust per engine, the tornadoes are inherently quite cooler.
Yeah nah, I don’t even see a reason to humor that.
