That… Could be a reason… Maybe they just switch their behavior to SARH missiles via DL instead of CW illumination. I already hit perfectly notching targets like this (missile was in SRC+IOG+DL until impact). Didn’t test it for multipathing targets.
Hugging the ground is only useful when you are able to get behind mountains and physically block the incoming missiles.
The splash damage from missiles is so RNG, and with the latest damage model changes you either take no damage or it clips your wing and you smash into the ground.
Notching or turning cold is waaay better for sure, but it’s not the solution to every scenario :/
Might have been, but it’s more than just dodging via MP, but actually being sneaky. In something like the Tonka, I can make it from one side of the map and back again without my RWR even really pinging once, and when I do, I can usually hide really well, it’s rare to be intercepted. Especially on a map like Afghanistan
But at top tier at the moment, everyone is just a flying AWAC, maps are too small
Yeah, I’ve made use of MP, but it’s way more situational than some people think it is
Yeah but just about everyone is at MP level so amraam is basically useless lol.

I personally don’t trust it anymore, if I die at low alt and I was trying to MP, I always think that I made a mistake in order to get in that situation.

Half the reason why I sit so high, even in an F3. Watching a Mig23 fly straight and die is hilarious
Nothing can beat the good ol notching. That is 100% reliable unless you’re in a 1v2 or more.

Ahh yes flogger pilots are special for sure.
As for AMRAAM I wonder if it a passive thing to make Russian gets more competitive at that br.
Seeing as they are outclassed by western jets in BVR quite a bit.

I’m currently using this EF soundmod and I’m now always instantly reminded of a flying grocery checkout xD
It sounds so extremely similar…

German one is even better.
Its like getting softly yelled by your mother Xd.
That reminds me my recent encounter with enemy MiG-23 in my German F-18.
I was flying at 8k and launched Aim-7P from 18km’s, he just flew straight and took it like absolute chad while getting demolished.
His R24R almost got me tho Xd.
BUK is also similar seems more agile missiles negate multipathing?
could just be the Aim-54 effect of having a massive warhead.
You can still notch without chaff reliably, unless the enemy is guiding the missile with DL all the way, which will make it much harder because the missile will often re-lock for a second when really close to you (2-3km away) and probably hit you with IOG.
The faster the missile is (less lead required) and the larger the explosive payload the better the chances to damage someone that is multipathing. Aspect is also relevant, when coming from high up it also helps by a lot
No it hit me while I was chaffing, MPing and jinking
chaff dosent do anything if you arent notching
Oh I was notching chaffing and praying 😅
