I often play Tornados to do ground tasks. Ofc I shot Aim-9l quite alot. But around this BR bracket of 11.3 its just useless. I can’t even remember when I last hit something. One flare seems sufficient and it even ignores the huge afterburning target a few meter in front of it. Sometimes they litereally fly a U-turn, just to go after a flare or missile or wreck appearing in its seeker periphery. Why it won’t priorize a much larger and hotter targets, sometimes just meters away, remains a mystery. Its especially dull that you just have two 9Ls @ Nado.
Meanwhile I tend to use 9L’s to down NPC targets, this way its at least not a total waste.
And anything else with IRCCM is very easily fooled by pre-flaring by too much of a degree it seems. I’ve had R-73s go for missiles that a plane launched rather than the plane that launched them when it was under 2km away.
If there are flares in the seekers view when it’s launched (even if it’s locked on a plane), there is a very very high chance it’ll go for them.
fr the russian bias company cant make the flight performance of the r77 right and you only have 2-4 r73´s at max on your su30sm…, then why did they give the f15e its better engines and the su30 only got the al31 engines instead of the better al41f engines… I see the logic
