R27R and how it works

You would never see target designator jump from the target to flares and back.

 

In a MiG-21Bis that happens. You can see the IR missile seeker pipper jump to flares. So if you launch at that moment, then the missile will definitely go to flare (and never to aircraft itself, but you can launch with lock at the aircraft and have missile go to flare... lol). 

 

I don't even anymore know what is the realistic behavior in the MiG-21Bis gunsight. At least with the rockets and gun in A-G mode you should get the CCIP calculation, but for bombs you shouldn't get any CCIP/CCRP functionality but need to bomb by using numbers. 

 

AFAIK the IR missiles should signal the detection of the heat only by the audio, but not by placing pipper on the target when seeker is uncaged to it.

And when the radar is locked on target, the pipper should not lock on the target but stay centered, only seeing the radar pointing angle via the radar scope.

 

It would be awesome to get the IR effects for missiles and targeting systems, but we are getting there. Razbam just added in 2.7 the "Hot Spot Detector" (in fact it is not a hot spot detector but a Delta-T detector, pilot selects the temperature size, temperature range from scale and then some other values and the FLIR will symbolize where something is seen by those parameters, so hottest targets (literally hot spots) are not being detected as you can even detect the coldest or middle ones or where is variation in temperature etc) and ED is working for the new improved FLIR that should count the new clouds and all other reflections to lure IR missiles, FLIR cameras to have the realistic look (no more units popping out as bright hot objects automatically) and as well get flares emit heat. Hopefully we get someday the chaff modeling and proper radars so targets would appear and disappear in radar at various ranges and scenarios, and we would see radar get confused by chaff and seekers should really work for the CM instead just rolling a die "Do I go to chaff/flare or not, even if it is 20 degree out of my field of view?".
