You are doing something wrong if you have a 100% kill zone from the most wretched top tier missile for launches at 10+ km

I know. That is why I am here in this very thread.
MICA’s are a death sentence for me. I just cannot defeat them. Notch, crank, terrain, multipath or whatever, they just do not care it seems. They will always find me, and they always kill me

Micheal always knows where you are… i honestly would love to give more tips but i can only name a few times ive dodged a MICA in something like my Baz Meshupar. i think the best way to defeat it is literally just dont let it get launched at you in the first place.

if you fly at 2+ mach at high altitude, then of course you will be easily shot down. But if you fly at standard speed and you really are shot down by ARL missiles every time, then learn to go into notch

As I said. I have tried notching, cranking, terrain and multipath.
If I do not physically move behind cover such as a mountain, the MICA does not care.
I can reliably defeat PL12, R77 and AMRAAM. The only one I cannot do this to is MICA.
Unless you are at very short range, if you notch you should easily able to evade since it has no range, even more with the AIM-120B that you can launch a lot more earlier than the Mica
Don’t forget to change your course/altitude to not be in the IOG range
Holy hell i just 1v1 a rafale at the end of the match, he literally fired micas point blank (0.7-0.8km) and they track, i think it’s just that you’re in a permanent notch if circle fighting and they always missed by 3-10 meters. If he got some space and managed to fire from >1 km i would have been dead
maybe you have a hidden wish to die from MICA because I can’t explain the fact that you easily deflect missiles that fly further and better than MICA

The very earliest I can shoot AMRAAM is 20km since, and I am not exaggerating here, the radar on the eurofighter is literal trash. It cannot, and will not reliably show any targets over 20km.
Within 20km I have to use HMD PD to find targets.
Spotting currently sucks so I have to do knifefights vs Rafales.
So no, I cannot shoot earlier than a Rafale can currently
It will, it’s just that the targets it shows do not exist at least 50% of the time.
Because, as I previously said, I am FORCED to be in a knifefight because the Eurofighters radar literally does not work. I HAVE to use HMD PD and rely on dot spotting because.
again
The radar on the eurofighter is literal garbage.
Its TWS “tracking” is also hot garbage. I’ve had it drop a track within 5 seconds of getting it, for no reason what’so’ever, but it apparently does that because its data refresh rate is not fast enough (has been bug reported).
???
You have a bad radar, so there are no problems with aim120, but there are with mica?
How does this work?
sounds like copium

I have a bad radar, so I am forced to go close range with red aircraft.
In this close range, I have no problems defeating AMRAAM , R77 or PL12, only MICA.
How is this Copium? This is literally what MICA is designed for.
If I didnt have a total trash tier radar, I’d be at high altitude doing BVR, not letting Rafales get close
I have a feeling that you are not trying to notch and throw dipoles, but are trying to divert missiles with a maneuver, I just don’t understand what’s wrong with you.
The R-77 is roughly the same as the Mica in the game, only slightly longer-range, but less maneuverable at close range, but you have no problems with it.
I know that the Mica was created to have a range of 80 km, as a result, in the game it can’t even hit 20 sometimes, and there’s also a limit of 50 in the game (as far as I remember, it physically can’t fly further, because it’s destroyed)

You sound like my mom, lol.
I AM trying to notch. Its all I try to do.
The EXACT reason that I am here, in this very thread, talking to you at this VERY moment is that I try to do the same thing to MICA’s as I do with every other missile but it just does not work.
You keep telling me I have to notch, and I keep telling you that I DO try to notch and that it does not work anywhere near as reliably as with other missiles
so im pretty sure the reason it is harder to notch is because of how fast it accelerates, its kinda like why the Python 3 is harder to flare then the 9L. the closure rate is substantially faster (at lower ranges) what makes it harder to notch simply cause its able to get to you much faster and get more of you in its FOV and be able to see less of chaff because of this (if you are chaffing ofc)
if you think Mica has mistakes and is not distracted by dipoles and anti-missile maneuvers, you can check it and make a corresponding report.
I have no problem with distracting all missiles if I have time to maneuver
I think I can end the conversation here, because it is not leading anywhere

That is ALSO, NOT, what I am saying! I have specifically mentioned that I am NOT saying things like" MICA OP" or “Nerf Rafale” or any such thing.
I am just trying to understand what I am doing wrong!
