Unfortunately this doc was turned down when bug reporting the R-27’s overload. As such it can’t be used for another Russian missile.

Yeah that makes sense, it’s only one secondary source. Would need 2 of them
Would it be possible to see the Aim-9R before the Aim-9x block 1/2 on Aircraft?

I wish the guys who made it were around today to see it still in service

Let me breathe some life into this thread.
Did Gajin change something about the AIM-9 missiles in yesterday’s patch? I’ve had a lot of strange situations where the AIM-9L didn’t react to flares like it used to—even when fired at me head-on, it often couldn’t be fooled by flares… I was flying an SU-25, which doesn’t even have afterburners, and firing several flares while changing direction often didn’t produce the expected result.
While browsing YouTube, I came across this short video—it looked exactly the same for me.
did we finally get realistic late non irccm missiles?

Seems normal to me. In the last clip he was in a harrier which has insanely hot engines so flares rarely work in close range. As for the other clips it’s behaving normally. That guy just has skill issue in all the clips.
Might be beating a dead horse here but, what’s with 9Ms tracking? I hadn’t played with 9Ms extensively since the F-15A came around until recently.
Perhaps my memory is skewed, they feel especially vulnerable to tracking anything but what the seeker FOV is tracked to. Multiple times they fly off to the aether when fired against a side aspect target.
They have been far more willing to track fired missiles from the tracked plane as well, surely the heat signature of a missile is less than the afterburning plane in the FOV.
