Haha! This or fire 2 mavs with a few (like 5-10)seconds between them and dive for hills before the Tor blows your wings off.

Not high enough. SA15 ceiling is 19'685 ft.

 

Shoot 2 mav. He will focus on the first one.

The most ordnance efficient way is as mentioned, to fly above 20k and drop a GBU on it.

 

You can also launch two mavericks a few seconds apart, either yourself or in collaboration with a wing man.

Correct, my mis-typing - the 12,000 should have read 20,000.

Anchor your wingman far from target, say to the South. Then position yourself to the East. Tell the wingman to engage and roll in yourself. Try to be at similar distance and speed as he is on running in (check the info on your TAD). Wait for him to ahoot and shoot roughly at the same time. Requires some practice and obviously much easier to do in MP, but works with AI wingman too!

Is it just the one SA-15? I would just get him to launch all of his missiles and then go at him once he's out.

Another way to kill S 15 is: create a markpoint (several youtube tutorials about that available) with it´s position from far out, then dive low below it´s line of sight (hide behind ridges, towns etc) once you are close enough like 6-7 NM pop up, make the markpoint your SPI, lock and you mostly will kill it with one MAV as there´s not enough time for the TOR to get your MAV. Done several times.

Great if it's stationary.

 

I've had to deal with a few moving Tors lately and they're real bears to kill, you have to pop up and hope you acquire it and launch within about 10 seconds and then get the hell out of dodge.
