Can someone share his tips on how to evade Mig-29 while in F-35 ? Hell, even when I use flares missiles still hit me. What are the advantages (if any) F-35 has over Mig-29, and how to use them in order to escape teh lock ?

Re: How to evade Mig-29 ?
The further you are from the MiG, the easier for the MiG it is to get a lock on you. The closer you are to the MiG, the easier you can utilize your strenghts, which is agility and superior response to controls. As to why flares dont work. More often than not what happens is illustrated on this pic. Blue is MiG, red is F35B.

Missile has a tighter lock-angle, so it may just not see your flares and go after you instead. Check what angle the F35B uses to ditch the flares. Its best for STA, but not good for ATA.

Sir Blades method is universal and effective. However useless if the MiG pilot hs skilled enough. One mere second of lock-time will prove to be a sad end for the F35B pilot. Its suggested to mix Split-S maneuvers with quick turns when you see the MiGs nose approaching to that position to get a lock on you. Youll recognise the situation when the jets become more and more paralleled in the turn. But for that, you gotta know how to use rear view.

Actually, fly Wake for a while. Oman will be a piece of cake.
Yeah, the Split S is very effective but DO NOT let yourself fall into a rythym. Keep it random and ALWAYS look for a way out. I made these mistakes early in flying, when I would just do it over and over, it only works for a little bit. sooner or later, you are gonna mess up, or the plane will get on you.
When you get good at it, you can usually keep it up till the next flare set comes for you.
If he flies away to reengage GET OUT OF THERE. dont turn around immediately and engage them right away. Go back to carrier. fly high, spot and take them out.
oh and dont use your brakes. The mig is amazing at braking and it will kick your *** if the pilot sees what you are doing.
one more thing: save afterburners. pulse it on the way down on the first split s and full on the way up. Keep it above 1500. And also look for altitude gain whenever possible. when you flare get as high as you can.
