How effective do you think chaffing is against modern radar missiles?

On its own? Not very. Combined with other EW techniques and jamming? It could help. Does it mean you can forgo defeating the missile kinematically? Nope, the best way of dealing with any missile is to make sure it can never get to you. EW is never a 100% guarantee.

If it wasn't effective, chaff wouldn't be carried.  But the use of it wouldn't be as simple as we have it in DCS - chaff would be used in very particular ways with specific dispensing intervals and maneuvers as well as inclusion of ECM.   We don't know how each system would be affected by it - the DCS implementation is a simple stochastic model that works on its own.

Atleast in DCS it surely doesn't seem nearly as effective against radar missiles compared to flares against heat seekers, i feel like i should just pick flares and only amraams because even my Aim-9X misses like half the time even against big cargo planes when they pop flares. Amraams on the other hand seem to almost never miss if i shoot it in range.
