I see we have quite some guys here who know their stuff concerning missiles. I have a question. Can someone explain me why the Notch did not work in this TacView Debrief? I don't understand how the Phoenix was able to maintain lock? I entered the Notch when the Missile was 7 nm out. At 3 nm I also started pumping chaff. 10 bundles in total. The only explanation I have is that I was too thrifty dispensing chaff. And that in the missiles endgame (the last 5nm) I was not precise enough correcting the notch. I let it slip from a 90 aspect to an 85 aspect. But nevertheless shouldn't the Phoenix or the Tomcat lose lock as soon as I entered the Notch and had the 90 aspect established? Does someone have an explanation? I know the Tomcat has Monopulse angle tracking but I'm not a Tomcat guy. This happens quite often to me.I think I'm on the perfect Notch litereally 5 feet above the trees but the Phoenixs' keep hitting me. I'm having quite a hard time defending Tomcats. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I was able to recreate this behavior in a 1v1 mission in which the AMRAAM hit my first AMRAAM. I swear I had the Bandit locked in TWS. You can see how the second AMRAAM goes PITBUL immediately after launch and go for the AMRAAM Harlikwin, our suggestion with the pulse doppler shift makes sense but in this case the missile was flying away from me and even though it went for it and disregarded the feed of my Fire Control Radar Feed.

I have heard of AA Missiles beeing able to shoot fown other missiles. The AIM-54 Phoenix was especially designed to kill large incoming atomic missiles. Radar Cross Section wise it is comprehensible that Tomcat Pilots were able to see their own Phoenix on their Radar due to it‘s such a huge missile. But an AIM-120? I think thats way out of reach. Nevertheless I think the root cause is the field of view of the missiles in DCS. Aim-54s and Aim-120 seem to have a field of view of something like 170 degrees when it should be somewhere between 9-12 degrees. With the current status it is no wonder that the AMRAAM locks incoming missiles with that field of view. What do you guys think?

Gents, I thought this might be interesting. 'Cause it never happened to me in other aircraft. 4 of my 6 AMRAAMS fired in TWS went for the incoming missile. 2 actually went for the bandit. Today I flew 2 Sorties on the 104th Server and I was quite amazed when I reviewed my Sorties in TacView. All the shots were roughly taken at 8-10 nm slant range. What do you guys think?
