m1tp2king Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 Hi. I am starting to play online. With the su27. Should I use radar or thermal missiles?. I read in an online article that I should forget radar missiles and only play with thermal. Never using my radar but stealth tactics. Any online tactics from you would be greatly appreciated.
Archer.xd Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 Radar missiles are very important in the flankers. You have powerful engines and a missile (ER) that has a decent tail chase performance in straight flight. You can utilise those radar missiles any way you want actually. Make the target go cold, then sit on his 6 and if you are closing the gap, shoot the ER when you get to the parameters. Or if the target is increasing the distance, he'll turn to re-engage eventually. Wait for it, then launch your ET so he'll be unaware of it and hopefully die while trying to lock you up. Playing only EO is a bad, very bad idea. Not every plane you'll face has the same IR signature and EO is not that great in front aspect&high distance&non-AB targets. And if you do EO only you'll teamkill a lot of people, since no IFF in EO. (Flashing the radar on/off is a workaround for it) Your datalink is immune to LoS effect, make sure to utilize it if you see an opportunity for it. If the terrain is mountainous, use the terrain to LoS the missiles so you can re-engage a lot faster. You can just play with an ambush CAP style, but experienced flanker players pick the high alt&high speed gameplay over it. More aggressive and way more punishing if your target makes a mistake. 2
