Dentedend10 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Hi, I was surprised to see that I was killed by an AIM 9 head-on shot by an F5E. According to the mission briefing they are only supposed to carry rear-aspect IR missiles. Not sure if that is a bug or a DCSism (F5s simulating MiG-21s and maybe could not assign rear-aspect IR missiles to them?) Just wondered. Got my ass kicked hard in this one. Ate all SAMs and then this.. definitely need to refly!

Reflected Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 That’s weird, they do have rear aspect missiles…but you never know, and in event 7, front quarter shots count as well. try to get some turning room like Paco taught you in Speed and Angels, use basic intercept geometries. You won’t have to worry about this then. 1 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentedend10 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Thanks for the tips, I could definitely have improved my intercept geometry. the front quarter shot was very short range, maybe those rear aspect IRs are ok in high aspect when they don’t have to maneuver a lot.
