MiG-31 with R-33

[Noctrach]

The MiG-31 with R-33 has a number of issues

 

• The MiG-31 drops launch warning and goes back into search mode while still guiding the missile. This is more noticeable with jets that have a "deadzone" on their RWR, as you will at times not get any warning that a missile is in the air if you were coming out of a turn at this point.
  
• The MiG-31 is almost impervious to notching, the missile can be easily chaffed or spoofed but the MiG-31 never drops lock. The notch gate appears to be less than +/-10 knots.
  
• The missile will lose track if sitting perfectly in the notch, but both the jet and the missile will instantly reacquire from any aspect the second the player leaves the notch again.
  

The Georgian War campaign, mission 14, is impacted significantly by this issue.

PESA radar might be the cause of some of those, like the notching
