I have:
Program 5: throwing 3 times every three seconds 1 chaff and 1 flare.
Usage on:
bomb runs so i have a little defense (and a cool effect) while concentrating on.
far but high threats nailing
Program 6: throwing 3 times every 2 seconds 2 chaff and 2 flare (with a delay of 500ms)
Usage on:
Active Missile tracking (Saving is thought to do on the bank (actually not even there anymore))
Close SAM launch visually located, or tumbleweed and AI reporting sam launch while being NOE.
Then I have Program 1/2 both only containing Chaffs:
Prog 1 throwing many chaffs fast
Prog 2 throwing some chaffs slow
usage:
When I’m high and KNOW there are Radar Threats on long distances.
And same with Program 3/4 both only containing Flares
Prog 3 Throwing many flares fast
Prog 3 Throwing some flares slow
Usage:
When I’m low.
Before I always used combined programs, but I noticed I get mostly shot by radar missiles, wasting many flares.
This way - while I still feel safe, I use some chaffs just to have the feeling of being harder to get locked.
But when all hell breaks loose and I don’t know what’s up and down, I’m happy to push that magic button so that there’s something for every missile
