BlackPixxel Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Hi! Some time ago players where asking for the flare count of the F-15C to be increased. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=7815 The previously F-15C flare count was the correct one for the large MJU-10 flare type. Then the flare count was increased to the correct one for the smaller MJU-7 flare type. But: The flare behaviour did not change. The increased flare count with MJU-7 is a result of smaller flare cartidges, so more can be fittet into the launcher. The smaller flare results in a smaller chance of defeating a heatseeking missile. The DCS F-16 has the MJU-7 as well, and with the F-16 the chance of defeating a IR missile is correctly decreased (not sure if that is actually how it is in DCS). With the F-15C on the other hand the flare rejection is the same as it was previously. It still has the same flare rejection as the MJU-10. As a result, the F-15C has the increased flare count of the MJU-7 cartidge size, but still the same higher flare effectivenes of the large MJU-10 cartidge. This is not realistic and should be fixed. Solutions: Either the F-15C has to go back to the old, reduced flare count. Or the flares deployed by the F-15C should have a reduced effectiveness. Thank you! Edited May 14, 2021 by BlackPixxel 1
