I love how people bring up this one time about the 9X like it says something about how effective it is lol. It’s almost like there are duds in everything lol.

facts will be supported regardless of whether people like it or not
however to make up excuses and make up things is to be emotionally invested in fiction
Exactly!
When you’ve been using R-73 - the AIM-9M is a culture shock. It really does fit a different playstyle.
Ah, makes sense.
yea i dont play soviet kit very often and that’s only for ground. I know the R73 is very good as I’ve died to them more than the 9M I just cant really say how the act from using them myself.
for some reason now using the methods to flare aim9m’s no longer work (shut burner off, burst some flares, move to the opposite direction), the missile still tracks you despite having in theory the seeker in blind mode.
Anyone know what the 9M does if it sees an enemy misisle.after lauch
Im guessing the seaker shuts off permanently or it always follows the missile.
Im seeing 9ms miss everything even under 2km direct 6 and this is the only common factor
it doesnt register the missile as a flare so the seeker does not shut off
however normally the aim 9m will switch targets to the missile

Makes sense. Thanks
now it’s become practically unflareable under most scenarios, but it still keeps going downwards hitting the ground if launched below 100 meters above the ground.
