Please someone with good experience should help out. Thanks

Stay out of the launch zone, for a start Evasion from the missile is possible at a distance of no more than 10nm (that’s approximately, I didn’t count exactly). You need to turn away from the launch site, fire the afterburner, start the weave maneuver, and after about 5-6nm pull up. Chaff is ineffective, but there’s a very small chance to break lock. And the closer the launch, the less chance you have.But it’s usually simpler than that. Stay below the radar. You’ll minimize the chance of anything being fired at you at all. Likewise, if you’re at altitude, immediately dive to the ground. Just don’t go up on the terrain. And yes, check the Threat guide. There’s some pretty good advices there.

@Sniper-0 The best defensive maneuver is to stay out of range. Especially if you try to deal with SA-13, 11/17 (they have the same missile in 4.37) and 10.

Turn cold and go between 50-70 degrees down the moment you get a launch warning. (I’d turn cold the moment it shows up on RWR or goes inner ring). Then continue going cold and fly NOE and pray. Also turn your jammer off because it has HOJ.

I developed this technique when I was flying with Zipgun and the guys in the Buk Hunters. It is based on the poke technique Tom had developed. Missed flying with you @Zipgun !
This can be flown with AI as well as with humans as wingies. If you do well, you can disable a full battery.
Here is the acmi LINK of me taking a battery with clusters while flying with the AI only.
And here are some slides of that time: LINK
Have fun!

No more than 50 meters off the ground. If it’s flat ground, 10-15m. If you are close to the launch site, then 5m or even a little less. In general, “stay below the radar” means that if you are radiated, descenduntil you hit the grounduntil the radar stops radiating you or hide behind some relief irregularity. By the way, you can effectively fly very low by turning the cockpit down, just imagine that the ground is the top, but don’t forget to reverse pitch (not the fact that you can do this, it’s quite a strange thing so far helped only to me). -

In combat that is (virtual of course).

Oookay, then. Was NOT expecting THAT.Time for me to GOTS…!! Rather, G (back) OTS.

Circling back to the specifics of “Evading” these high-threat systems – Of course the best way to evade them is to not get shot by them and how do you do that? You stay out of their engagment zone.
But to stay out of their engagment zone you need to know where they are. High threat and mobile MERAD SAMs don’t always show themselves on the 2D map which makes this tricky.
Luckily there is a process whereby you can get a pretty good estimation of their location so you can place a PPT.After all, knowledge is power, and having the highest possible SA will make your decision making in the middle of the action much stronger.
I think perhaps some newer players forget that the brefing tab will alert you to SAM systems that aren’t always present on the 2D map.
Here’s the step by step:
-
Click on the beifing tab and check the ‘Threat Analysis’ for SAM threats near your route. The ATO automatically briefs SAMs that are close to your steerpoints.
-
Click the Order of Battle (OOB) tab to start your search for the aforementioned geographical locations. Click ‘Objectives’ > ‘Political’.
-
Scroll down until you find the location you are looking for. Click it, then click ‘find’ this will center the map on that location so sometimes it’s handy to zoom in a little bit. It should also highlight the location name on the 2D map.
-
Finally, all you need to do is select the ruler tool and adjust it to the length and direction indicated by the briefing (in this case 4nm NE) and low and behold you’ll see an objective which is the likely location of the threat.
Cheers
