The title says it all. Multipathing is too unreliable when your stock plane turns like a bus with wings and every thing on the horizon higher than the tree tops are slinging missiles you can’t defeat reliably. When are we adding stock chaff to planes like the tanks got stock APFSDS?

Never they want you to buy mods

To be honest, the first thing you gotta research is chaff. And for what I’ve seen, it’s easy to mutipath and get one kill/bomb a base to get the necessary RP.

Studying notching is important here. sometimes you can’t just MP shit, and try to remove the habit of going as low as possible, because with a bit of altitude you can notch anything.

Although notching is always reliable, to be honest, I wouldn’t recommend to go notching without chaff (Not that it doesn’t work), but when they research it, they can confidently do so. It also depends on which plane he’s flying though.
that’s why i said “keep altitude handy”, that is one big asset in notching.

It is ridiculous, but at one point, “modern jets” didn’t come stock with missiles. Now every jets starts with missiles.
Or flares
They probably should switch to a limited number of chaff stock policy, with the rest being unlocked via a mod, so you have at least a few alongside your stock flares
i.e if an aircraft currently has 60 flares stock, it could instead have 40-50 flares + 10-20 chaff

how are they gonna make money w that
You’ll still need the mods to get the full amount of customization and the stock amount could be still be extremely limited like 10-20% of the total CM count or something, but ultimately is better than none
First of all, I do agree with you. The flare/chaff and the suspended armament should be available from the beginning.
However, based on my experience, chaff is not very helpful compare to flare. the sarh/arh will still chase you despite how many chaff you have released.
Play 2 games on assault mode, usually CMs are t1 mod.
There are worse things…
Go play FGR2 Phantom with 2x AIM-9D and a gun and onlyflares (yes we need a site fore that situation) , at 12.0 and opponents having SARH with IOG and ARH missiles…
CMs is 1-3 games in assault… Till you see useful armament , they’ll have you videos at onlyflares.
Or start talking about crews in general? Awareness/Keen vision RNGs imho are the epitome of a reason to never touch the game…
Don’t try to “find” fixes and solution for a game most people play because there is no real alternative.

Jaguar Gr1 was the worst for me. No bombs, no missiles, and in the 9.7 one, no flares Vs all-aspect slingers.
That was a brutal first few matches till I got bombs unlocked
cant even multipath reliably with how many missiles spike you from straight above or with how the terrain is all jaggedy
and with how so many of these missiles have IOG you cant noth reliably either
and by the time you have dodged all missiles lobbed at you, everything on the map is already dead
I think 50/50 Flares/Chaff or 100/0 either way split stock, so it would still be worth getting the modification (some planes with less CMs) and you wouldn’t have to completely rely on multipathing.
I’m not going to dive deep into the greed behind of the chaff situation, but if it works as a consolation: while you’re rushing the research, limit your gameplay to a support. Stay behind a wave of teammates and wait for key engagements to get frags and xp. If you live long enough in the round, do groundpound with your gun. The longer you’re alive, the closer you’re to chaff.
Though you might know that last bit by now, but reminders are always come in handy.
