not a bug F-5E flares chaff bug - plane self-destroyed

[Micki66]

Hello,

When a threat appears, countermeasures are activated and the plane self-destructs.

I tested in multiplayer and locally, with CM off, with 0 flare and 0 chaff loaded, same result, plane autodestroyed

I still have
1° to test with another hostile (here it was 1 or 2 M2K)
2° to attach a screenshot of the flight history.

Thank you in advance

Regards,

Michel

And please also attach a track. Thanks.

To  create a track, click the Save Track button at the bottom of the Debriefing screen.

I checked last night in the various F-5 instant action missions and didn't see this behavior.  Does this only occur when the threat is late activated?

Hello gentlemen,
Thank you for your feedback, and sorry for the delay.
I couldn't reproduce the problem anymore, I thought the latest updates had fixed the problem but "luckily" it appeared again.
And in addition my chief sergeant who does not like "games"
Bref; I was able to register my flights.
In attach tracks, screenshot of a debriefing and also my simple mission with the M2K.
Thank you again for your interest, your curiosity, your help.
See you soon,
Michel (Micki66)

Thanks @Micki66. I studied your track and I think I understand what's happening: the F-5 wings simply break with high Gs (see this thread). I took control over the track seconds before the explosion, I lowered the throttle and didn't make any turn.

I think the AN/ALE-40(V) failure is not the cause of the explosion, rather a consequence.
