chances of russian missiles hitting? | Forums

[LudenWulf]

Hello, everyone having fun with this sim
I have a question I was hopeing someone could help me out with concerning air to air missles on the su-27. It seems almost every time I fire, even when i'm in range to fire and have a good, what do you call it.. A good aspect angle on the other jet? If he drops a flare my missles miss. I know in reall life their not perfect and can be fooled by flares, but this happens so often it doesn't seem right.
Mybe I'm theirs some feature of the radar i'm not useing or need to be turned on? Anyway, the AI does pretty well when they fire a missle on me, Maybe 2 out 4 times they strike home.

[HowDoesItWork]

several responses to that:

1)Missile effectiveness slider perhaps fixes that.
2)In the patch they are going to change some of
it, at least the effectiveness of chaff.
3) I think there are flares and there are flares.
Nothing discussed in these forum I think. But
modern flares have more the right heat signature
than older. So maybe it also depends on the
flares popped.

ANyway, check that number 1) and see if u can't
get it to work the way u like until they
provide a notch on that scale that says
******* THIS ******* is realistic setting.
Cause I wonder what the realistic setting
would be.
