AIM-9M Unflareable in Air Arcade

[Laserdestroy]

Bruh, you know missile behavior like you know how to use a period.

[Morvran]

What’s funny is that the Aim9M is probably underperforming quite a lot when it comes to flare resistance/IRCCM in game compared to IRL. I think what we have in game for the Aim9M is actually closer to what Aim9L was like IRL

[Laserdestroy]

Keep on with the personal attacks. You and your squadron should be ashamed you don’t know how missiles act.

[Protectah]

Same issue for me, the AIM-9M in Air Arcade is overperforming. It does not perform in anyway similar to Air RB.

[Jayzaine]

play one match of AB and try to dodge like you would in RB. it doesn’t work buddy

@Uncle-Sam

watch the whole video then post. there is a complete difference of behaviour between arcade and realistic.

@Uncle-Sam

what is your experience in this game? we are one of the top teams in RB tournaments so we know what we are talking about. go and test the Aim-9M missile in arcade setting and see if you can flare it. then bring the proof to us and we gonna accept your theory.

@Uncle-Sam

do what i told you and dont waste your time trying to sound you know what you are talking about. go into a custom game in arcade mode and try to flare 9M record it and post it here.

@Uncle-Sam

@hjnbnb

Lol I don’t see how that is my problem

if you dont know arcade and you dont know where that is your problem then why dont you stop posting and not wasting our time here? cause clearly you arent helping us solving the issue.

@Uncle-Sam

Please. with this stats you shouldnt really come into forums and trying to spread misinformation.

@Uncle-Sam

just dont waste your time and dont spam in our post when you dont know ENOUGH to be telling others how they should be playing the game. bye.

Look at all these posts where you provide nothing to the actual discussion. Oh boy, I’m the one spamming the post. The only thing missing from your posts, other than useful discussion, is the period seperating your sentences.

[GIGA_CHAD]

we have posted a video and thats all the needed information. you are the one trying to have argument while you know NOTHING about the issue.

[Jayzaine]

bro is the last surviving lobotomy patient… yikes

@Laserdestroy

You aren’t flaring correctly for a missile that has IRCCM… Flying in a straight line while flaring is exactly what the missile was designed to hit a target through. You need to drop throttle, flare, and then make evasive maneuvers. If you just flare the missile knows where you are preflare and then it ignores the heat signatures of the flares if you don’t move (perferrably between your flares and the missile). If you don’t maneuver after you flare then it still knows your location because the initial target picture is the same.

@Laserdestroy

None of those missiles were flared off. One went under your plane even though it has flare dispensers that fire upward. If the missile was actually tracking and not flying in a dead straight line, it would have still hit you. Not a single one of those missiles worked correctly. And I can almost guess why. Because US top tier planes have been having a mighty stuggle with missiles not operating correctly, especially radar guided, but also issues with the 9M. That is exactly what that looks like. I can guarantee you that Aim9-Ms are not easy to avoid in Air RB.

I broke it down pretty well, how your test made no sense because of how the missiles work. Then I used my eyes to see during the Air RB section of the video that not a single missile went for the flares. Not a single missile really went for the plane either. Your test doesn’t have any reputable actions in it, so that makes it a bust. Your test video didn’t make it past peer review.

You must have been the one firing the missiles in RB, so lost you can’t hit a target with an Aim9M…

[hjnbnb]

You have posted a video that proves you cannot flare a missile properly. We’re trying to correct you and you don’t care. As long as your point is valid you don’t care. (It never was valid)

[CovertStriker]

Can you stop spamming this post? This is a valid issue, I have seen it first hand.

[Jayzaine]

@-Jayzaine-

See for yourself, it takes a few minutes at most. You are embarrassing yourself right now.

[GIGA_CHAD]

you arent correcting anything. the missile can be flared in RB but not in AB. is that hard to understand?

[TheArcticFoxxo]

@1Capitalist

Hello, the AIM-9M missile in Air Arcade is currently broken and unflareable. The hit rate is basically 100% even when you spam dump flares.

You don’t avoid a 9M by dumping flares.

@1Capitalist

The missile does not perform anything like in Realistic battles. Players should be able to cut throttle and flare off the missile just like in realistic battles.

This isn’t how it performs in ARB either.

[TheArcticFoxxo]

@1Capitalist

The AIM-9M (IN AIR ARCADE) is still broken to this day. Gaijin please fix this! Here is a video I made to show how broken it is.

It’s honestly hilarious how people have an unfathomable amount of information by just typing a few words into a search engine, and they still refuse to research one of the most basic IRCCM technologies.

[TheArcticFoxxo]

@1Capitalist

I’m flaring properly, watch till the end of video.

No, you aren’t. You’re spamming flares while flying in a straight line.

IOG doesnt give less of a shit about your flares.

[GIGA_CHAD]

dude can you read? please do cause you arent making sense. go and test 9M in arcade setting and then come back here.

[TheArcticFoxxo]

@1Capitalist

Do you not see me being able to flare off the 9M (In RB) in the end of the video?

That was a fluke of luck, where the missile happened to bite on a flare early on and when it engaged its seeker once again, it simply lost sight.

[Laserdestroy]

Oh boy, another person saying the same exact thing I did. Maybe you and @CovertStriker can try to shout him down too. I’m doing my best to get a decent clip, but with the whole 8 people playing 12.3 arcade, I have been the only one with Aim9Ms and lining up a shot on an aware opponent with 4 planes spamming SARHs at me has proven difficult.

I waited over 5 minutes for the matchmaker, I refuse to wait any longer.
Neato, you are coming to your squadronmates aide too. Well since the matchmaker can’t find 12.3 games, do you want to come do the test with me?

[GIGA_CHAD]

i will invite you to 1v1
