Ir guided missiles, specially 60s and 70s have a LOT of flare tolerance, they work just too good to be comparable at their real life performance, reading like the first wikipedia article i found it says the aim9b, d, e, g and j variants combined had a 18% chance of kill in the vietnam war, in the game they work way better and have a lot of resistance of flares,
When im playing 60s servers and someone launch a missile at me, i cut burners, try to manouver mantaining a good speed and good G’s, sometimes even pre flaring, and the missile just doesnt care and gets me, im supose this is not meant to occur with like a 1st gen missile that has a caged seeker and poop flare resistance
I think its about time this game implements irccm mechanics and a complete overhaul of the ir guided missiles, even war thunder that is not a sim game have this implemented, this would add a bit more of realism to the game
