Does anyone have any tips for dealing with the r27et? My rwr will be screaming at me, so I go into a notch, chaff, you know do all the typical stuff to evade, and then I’m hit by an r27et from 15km away. An IR missile with that much range seems a little busted, as it’s essentially impossible to know that you’re being targeted, especially if there’s also radar missiles being launched at you. This is really frustrating me.
they have a pretty small FOV, however no IRCCM so you should be able to 1 flare them at range, it might also be wise just to pop a few flares in a situation as you described just to be safe. As even if you’re looking around like an owl, you can still be snuck up on due to the spotting mechanic
Both the r27t and et have irccm
Unless you are playing a jet with a very low countermeasure count, its best to periodically flare. The r27et doesn’t have great flare rejection and at distances like that you can easily one or two flare them.
They have the worst gate-width irccm in the game, and have generally bad flare rejection.
ah, what lain said then
i figured it didnt as i’ve never had problems flaring the r27ts im aware about
