400km ? do you even have the radar ? how is it overperforming in the game lmao.
Yeah the 9M is completely broken currently, it’s IRCCM is honestly just not working anymore.

Literally just explained this, but like this.
I’ve gotten MORE kills with 9M’s this patch than ever before. Even with and through flares.
I’ve always found 9M to be completely useless (compared to Magic 2 and R73) anyway so this was a pleasant surprise
Continues to work in side aspects though. I’ve gotten used to using them when a target presents it side to me, giving a clear left or right inertia track. Typically if they are on the deck they have to come up off the deck to decoy as well which means you can AMRAAM them if they defend.
Mostly though in top tier ARB if someone is on your tail you’re mostly cooked.
I don’t think they changed much if anything with 9Ms. They’re just as hit and miss as always, it’s either they go through any countermeasure or evasion attempted with ease, or the target drops 1 flare or god forbid launches a missile and it folds. They’ve kinda always been like that.
Interesting it never left track. That wasn’t even an IRCCM failure.
Yeah they just voluntarily miss sometimes. Had it ever since they were brand new. Sometimes the proxy just decides not to work too (mostly in front aspect) even without flares.
Yep, that is exactly it. Tracks at the border of the FoV go haywire while constantly showing TRK.
The interesting bit for my shot though, is that it wasn’t at the edge intially, in fact it was nearly central and then just randomly turned away from the target when they flared (though might have been coincidence)
As I see it, it tries to turn to the interception point far in fornt of the target but the moment the missile has the direction the target leaves the gimbal (or is at the corner of it). The target flaring can be the reason as I observerd this too. The moment the seeker should shut-off at the corner of the gimbal, because the target is flaring, it doesn’t shutoff but drifts into nowhere.
I have a strong inkling that this is related to lock-ons before launch drifting into nirvana instead of activating seeker shut-off without lock-on when the target is flaring during aquisition (Tracks with a red circle which drifts into nirvana until you relock). But it happens during flight.
Perhaps, as again in my shot, it turned in the opposite direction for some reason, but something is definetly weird. Definetly time for a 9M overhaul
Yeah, I tried to nudge gunjob because of this bug (report) a few times but he’s consequently ignoring me for some reason :(

I have found that some reports get forwarded instantly and others just seem to be a battle
I just get alot of nudges apologies. I’ll try to get to it this evening.

Thank you, that’s all I could ask for :)
This is the most convoluted aircraft to try and understand anything about, every unit feels like a completely different aircraft from one another.
If you think EFTs are bad you should take a look at the F-16 or Flanker family lol
