Ok I have noticed servers like S77th who don't have operating AWACS usually result in F-15's being snuck up on by Russian fighters using there EOS IRST. If your unfamiliar with the S77th server the F-15s spawn at Tbilisi and Russian fighters spawn at Mozdok there is a mountain range spliting these bases apart and the bulleye and 90% of the mission is at suhkumi whenever I fly a F-15 and I go head on towards mozdok from Tbilisi to intercept fighters I get nothing, nada,zinc on radar and I get hit by a R-73 or R-27ET (TED) when ever I see a fighters contrails when over the mountain I point my nose at them radar on and I know they're there above me but my F-15 itself doesn't. The Suhkois using EOS see everything and can target us without warning what should I do go nose cold ecm off and fly through valleys and cry myself over to Suhkumi (exageration) :cry::helpsmilie::helpsmilie::helpsmilie::helpsmilie::helpsmilie: :cry: but seriously what do you F-15 pilots do out there to defend against EOS and are there any tips to picking up targets I don't know about (list those you think can help) I know how to defend myself in a head to head battle or any battle but I can't even see these guys and when I do they tag team me with eos or even better get me with R-73's at 43,000feet when im radar hot 160 and scanning my 12 and don't even see them come from under me miles out. Im seriously bout to give up and fly Russian fighters again. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: but out of all seriousness I could use the help. Thank you anyone who takes out the time to help me.
