You have a track from this MONSTER? I guess it was more a last unloading from his rails, before hitting the ground, and you guys just wasted 4 missiles for it.
If I shoot a F-15, SU-27 or MiG, and he is burning, I still turn away, because everyone knows, a angry guy is maybe cleaning his rails, and I don't shoot further 5 AIM-120 on him. What happens if he explodes right after, then you will set ARH or IR missile maybe infront of youre own flyt, and a nice TK happens.
