these things need to happen for air combat to be balanced and still fun.
-anti air missiles that are properly lead and are on target should not deviate on some airframes. (j10)
-on some airframes, flares should be intercepted by anti air missiles when the flares are in the anti air missiles flight path (f35)
-anti air missiles range should be just out of max visual range (for all platforms)
-the laser guide on the bomber should be able to lock onto targets just out of visual range
-instead of blowing up when the tv guided missile runs out of time, it should keep flying forward unguided.
if these things happened we would have a fair playing field between air and ground and air to air.
