Tactics to win Instant Action Su-27 - 4v4 Missiles in Normandy?

[DF1]

Has anyone been able to survive and win the Su-27 Instant Action - 4v4 Missiles in Normandy? I have been trying and I get beaten badly every time. I notice that the enemy F15C's are carrying Fox 3 AIM 120C's, and the SU-27's are carrying Fox 1's.  I've been able to use Fox 1 tactics against Fox 3 AI enemies and win when it is 1 v1 or 2v2, but having 4 enemies, all with Fox 3's, against me and AI wingmen all carrying Fox 1's seems impossible. 

I don't want to give up on it. I'm hoping that this will help me develop my skills and tactics, but I don't know what to do at this point.  Most of the online Fox 1 tutorials are just showing Fox 1 vs Fox 1 fights, and it seems like when someone asks about Fox 1 vs Fox 3, the response is usually "good luck, ha ha," but I also imagine ED wouldn't put this instant action mission in the game if it was totally impossible. Any help?

Not all missions in DCS are realistic or done well so don't feel the pressure to win them all.

You're starting at disadvantage the fight you wouldn't win IRL. More, not all depends on you but rather how well your wingman can manage the combat (don't forget to command them).

I don't know the mission but if it involves SAM on your side drag'em on your territory.

You can try to drag the Eagles to let them shoot out their missiles then re-engage.

If there are mountains nearby - hide in the valleys and fight there WVR.

Other than that perfect your notching skills, keeping MAR and improving SA.

Thank you both so much. I'll take a look at that Tac View as soon as I have a chance. I really appreciate the responses.
