Hoggorm Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hi, On various multiplayer missions, I've been shot down because I did not know that a (IR) missile was fired at me. In the A-10 one can easily hear all missiles being fired, but in the Su-27 I hear nothing before I'm hit. Is the only rescue from this situation that I actually see the missile coming? Are there no other ways? (Radar guided missiles are detected and heard of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunf Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 A-10 has Missile Launch Warning System. There's no such thing on Flanker, so you're stuck with Mk1 Eyeball. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildBillKelsoe Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 if youre referring to A/G, I suggest a higher release with high angle and stay above NEZ (no escape zone), whereas A/A, God help us all... AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

JazonXD Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 SU-27 does not have the Missile Launch Warning System the A-10C has. None of the other fighters except the Mirage has this, so you're going to have to get better at situational awareness and keeping your head out of your pit! Either way, you have the best too for silent death against enemies, so learn to use that well (ETs) AMD 5600X -- Gigabyte RTX 3070 Vision -- 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 -- HP Reverb G2 -- Logitech 3D Extreme Pro -- Thrustmaster TWCS BRRRT!

DarkFire Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Hi, On various multiplayer missions, I've been shot down because I did not know that a (IR) missile was fired at me. In the A-10 one can easily hear all missiles being fired, but in the Su-27 I hear nothing before I'm hit. Is the only rescue from this situation that I actually see the missile coming? Are there no other ways? (Radar guided missiles are detected and heard of course) As everyone else has mentioned, the Su-27 doesn't have a missile launch warning system so to detect incoming IR missiles you'll have to rely on Mk.1 eyeball. That being said, with experience you'll be able to recognise when an enemy aircraft is entering the launch window for a heater and you'll be able to preemptively dispense flares to deny the enemy a successful heater launch. Providing you can see the enemy of course, so in a WVR situation maintaining visual lock is imperative.

captain_dalan Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Thank you for the very quick reply! Like DarkFire mentioned, it's all about preemptive flare kicking. If you aren't sure when the other guy is going to fire, just start kicking as soon as you enter the merge, right until you guys pass each other. Hope it helps a bit.

WildBillKelsoe Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 there was this guy on youtube that shot waterline missiles in the flanker, I wonder if we're able to pickup IR SAMs with EOT..
