Avoid AIM-54C

[coolpoint]

Someone hint me how to avoid aim-54c from f-14??

 

You know, aim-54C has extremely fast speed,

 

Especially in mid-range BVR, there's almost no chance to avoid damm aim-54c!

 

I drive su-27/33.

 

Plz help

 

It's like cheating.

Go into the notch and get out of its "basket" before it goes active. I've had a lot of luck avoiding AIM-54Cs in an A-10C, so it should be pretty easy in a fighter.

VERY simple : If far, go low and you are safe

If close, (in NEZ) simply break the lock

If close enough that it is in terminal guidance, just outmanoeuver the missile, it can't turn

Those are very cryptic responses for those who aren't itn.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad idea, tried that before against AIM-54s in here and it doesn't work... :(

 

Crank away when you think the other guy has shot, go to the beam when the missile goes pitbull and (IMPORTANT PART HERE! -->) SPAM CHAFF! :joystick:

 

25-60 chaff should do the trick.

If you are low and fast, you can outmanoeuver it like you'd do with a aim9, at least you could in 1.2, maybe they changed it?

Not sure if they changed it, last I tested was in 1.2 IIRC :)

With Mig-29, Su-27/33 is easy avoid the Aim-54.

The AIM-54 is one of the easier missiles to deal with. Note that it uses SFM flight model, so it does not easily bleed speed. Do not try to bleed energy. To defeat it, pull maxium g when it is approaching. It can't turn with a fighter.

How about aim-54 that launched less than 10km??

I can hardly believe there's someone who can easly avoid aim-54 within 10km launched.

I would break turn as fast as I can to put the missile on my 3 or 9 o'clock while diving and spamming chaff, recommend 40-90 chaff for a good chance of defeating the missile, if that doesn't work, maximum instant G pull up into the missile.

[Ktulu2]

As I said, it can't turn. Extend the missile's travel lenght like sweeper said for a few seconds. When it's about to hit, pull max G as spam chaffs. If you are low (essentail) it should work. Especially if you try to bury it in the ground/mountain.

You guys all very helpful!

Thank you guys~

I think I got it.

The Aim-54's flight envelope is so bad due to its energy that a simple break into the missile and chaf/flare dump will usually confuse it. The trick is to keep it on your 3 or 9 and know when to break and dump. Locsta's F-pole manoever explains it very clearly. YouTube it. It's out there.

Sorry for off topic but did i miss something , is the Aim-54 is available in game as a load out that we can use ?? also the F-14 is it available ??

[Ktulu2]

No, the F-14 AI can use the AIM-54. BUT you can use mods to load aim-54s on F-15. The F14 is currently being develloped by leatherneck so it will be flyable in the future.
