Ah, makes sense now, gotta test the slav/bore method and practice ambushing a bit more. The 9x doesn’t seem to care much about that stream of fireworks (flares) coming out of the enemy’s plane but it’s better to have “him” unaware of my whereabouts and hit him defenseless. They did that to me many times, it’s only fair to return the favor :D. Thx for answering my question.
