Hello all!
Ive been flying dcs for a while, primarily the 51 and Dora but the -27 was just to beautiful to miss so I bought fc3.
Ive used the new training videos that came with the PFM Su-27 and understand when and how to lock/launch a rocket. Ive got that down pat.
Only issue is that the missles never want to track all the way to the target. The only missle I have any real success with is the R73. I just ran the same training mission 10 times SU-27 with 4x27Er and 2x27ET vs F-4E with Sparrows and Sidewinders. In only one of those missions did the 27ET connect with the target, and in no case did the 27ER. The other nine kills were with guns. Not exactly an accomplishment to down an F4 with a 27 in a gunfight.
So the easiest explanation is that I'm doing something wrong. All I know to do with the 27ER is lock the target, launch, and keep the target locked until impact. Is there something else I can do to increase my chances of connecting with the target?
Furthermore are these really so easily thrown off by countermeasures?
Thanks all!
