I just do not know you can come to the conclusion something is perfectly modelled and then turn around and say broadly it must be affecting ALL missiles.
I guarantee it is not affecting the AAM in this way whatsoever. The missile will smash through a flock of flares to find its target tbh.
The AIM-9L documentation suggests it should not lose track of an afterburning target deploying flares if fired from rear aspect.
The R-73 has more range and a more sensitive seeker than the AIM-9L, as well as a much smaller FoV. It simply should not be decoyed by flares at all against afterburning targets… and to be specific, I recall the testing being done against a Jaguar which isn’t a particularly hot aircraft to begin with.
been a minute since I played the su-27 in DCS but if thats the case DCS is wrong and just made it up FC3 products are lower quality and have a ton of inaccuracies
ive asked the B numerical value(B值)means the Maximum overload of stable disk plus maximum overload of instantaneous disk plus 0.03*Residual power but not the trun rate
Im just saying how its configured in the code it accurately represents a crossed array detector, any further inaccuracies are more broadly an IR modelling issue affecting all IR missiles
The way warthunder models IR signals is directly proportional to the thrustmax0 line of code of the aircraft, so light fighters with very low thrust engines will have extremely low IR signatures ingame. Its why the F-5C can flare so easily even in full reheat. The Gripen uses a F404 engine which is pretty low thrust compared to a lot of other top tier engines
but the B value is too general cause it’s just mix three values together, cant show each value independently and correctly, the flight manual is much useful than B value
