I have been finding these missions incredibly difficult, I have tried different approaches but often seem to get splashed by the first R27 a mig fires while a barrage of AIM 7's my flight fires go harmlessly by. I have had a few wins but mainly when i am lucky enough to survive to the merge. Does anyone think it is because the R27 has greater range than the AIM7?
EDIT I didn't know about the dot indicator for holding a radar lock, that is very useful in holding a lock, I am getting somewhere now!
I have learned: Follow the dot indicator totally, Loft is essential past 10 miles, in a 4v4 fight, always go for the lead aircraft.
I feel like i am mastering this though any advice would be appreciated
