Yeah, im usually firing them within (or near) the LSZ
I dont even have my radars switched on most of the time, just quickly gain locks to lob a missile and back off it goes to not trigger RWRs
Yeah, thats fair, but thats the diference between ARB and ASB
you play typhoon a lot id assume what can you do to counter them
I do and I dont. Honestly, the radar just frustrates me and the Typhoon vs Typhoon gameplay in ASB gets rather stale.
In an ARB context I dont really know. In ASB I would say attack from an unexpected alt or direction and you’ll get shots off before the Typhoons radar has even found you.
what if he knows where you are
J out?
/s
I dont really know to be honest. Assuming you are in an F-15 and therefore dont have any meaningful AAM advantage like MICA or Magic IIs do on the Rafale.
Avoid the merge?
Keep the Typhoon defending at range?
we are always in visual range so I don’t need a radar saying where the furball is
can i ask you one more thing if your energy fighting is the F15E better or typhoon
Typhoon.
Much higher TWR
i really hope america gets there 4.5 soon XD cause im not gonna be having fun till then
Much like the year of Tornado F3 vs F-16.
Dont merge.
You do have a higher top speed and 8x AMRAAM. Use them. Stick at range, or make fast hack and slash attacks. If you try and gunfight a Typhoon, then you’ve already lost.

thanks ive fought them but the typhoon and rafale and J10 are just cracked so i dont understand how to win in 1v1s anymore so ill keep this in mind
Wrong. 9M can literally be beaten by flying straight and staying in afterburner when it’s launched rear aspect.
not if its fired in its effective range.

Incorrect. Unlike the gatewidth IRCCM missiles, the 9M will be able to see flares until it is nearly flying up the exhaust.
You could just play F-15E, one of the strongest aircraft ingame.
Plenty of fun to be had there.
Eh… I’d say Magic II are harder to defeat than Aim-9M when fired at close range, but Magic IIs will go for flares when fired at longer ranges, whilst Aim-9Ms IRCCM will be equally effective regardless of range. But… with the right tactic can be defeated equally easily at any range.
Which is better really comes down to context. They are different, but to say which is “better” changes rapidly

Sometimes it will. but ive had 9ms ignore BOL pods worth of flares and wack a target from 3km
Do BOL flares work against even SRAAMs?
:P
