[@syinari8266]

its like when you are capable of completing something , say in warthunder you play well and lets say you're an 8.3-9.3 jet , you get 3-4 kills average from dogfights and decent aim , it makes you feel good . But than you get killed by an f104 third partying and than the next round is a full downtier but your teammate is their partying all your kills and you don't event get the kill because they died before you got a shot off or otherwise . Yes you'll still be getting 3-4 kills but it sucks to have something out of your control that you can capably deal with otherwise in other better suited planes or if certain aspects out of your control teammates uptiers etc weren't screwing you over . That 3-4 kill average won't feel as fun .

[@blessthismessss]

there is no more effective countermeasure ingame than that of an enemy's missile he decides to launch right as you launch at him. no matter what kind of missile, for some reason another missile leaving the rail is genuinely more effective than any chaff or flare

[@miked815]

Do you know why? I'll tell you if you don't..... the temperature of a rocket booster when firing can reach temps over 6000 degrees. Yes the seeker head on a missle that is guided by heat will probably prefer 6000 degrees over the jet engine which reaches 3,400 degrees. Does that make sense to you? I tried to be very clear.

[@guyperson6567]

​@@miked815and why is said ir seeker not interested in an equally hot flare countermeasure?

[@blessthismessss]

@@miked815 yes, i am aware of the methods employed by heat seeking missiles to track heat. the problem is, past a very certain early age- around the mid to late 60s or so- missiles grew into better technologies that would help discriminate against background clutter. NOT to be confused with IRCCM, but instead general improvement against distractions from natural IR interference. this includes the pre-programmed knowledge of the average temperature range of a jet engine, which does not burn as hot as the 6000° rocket yes, thats actually the whole point. even earlier non-IRCCM missiles have this function too, provided its not an AIM-9B or R-3S. the very reason why flares work irl is because they are specifically engineered to burn at those same temperature ranges, thus mimicking the signature of a jet engine. the fact that any random motor of a rocket or missile can do this all, and more effectively than the specifically engineered countermeasure, is the problem. understand that??

[@1degRazz]

@@blessthismessss did you really just try telling a self informed war thunder player that hes wrong? good luck

[@bluefox9436]

​@@miked815the thing is that this happens with radar missiles as well - because for some goddamn reason the missile just doesn't care what I actually got in my TWS lock and goes for the nearest thing that has some sort of radar signature
