Just curious what are some good ways to evade missiles in the F35, I've got the hang of evading them in SU-34's and such but just that damn F35. No matter what I do, they always seem to catch and hit me. Any suggestions?

It's definitely possible and I've seen it done. The rare times when I evade them isn't really by any special maneuver, it just happens by chance if you know what I mean. But flares are especially important. Here's a little snip-it of what I wrote in my small guide about flying jets:
Originally posted by Dan673In the F-35, we all know its a total pain evading missiles in that thing, because its virtually impossible (although there are times when you can evade them). Now, when you locked on by another jet, tap the C key until you reach the front view of the aircraft looking behind it. Don't release your flares just yet. Now, once your locked on, and you've spotted the missile, pull a hard right or left, and stay on that path. Once the first missile, or few missiles is about to hit you, release those flares, and pull up. All this can still be accomplished with that same camera angle. Once you've pulled up, it shouldn't be that hard to lose him, just continue maneuvering and you'll be fine.

The f35b cant evade missle to save its life....your life, but its bombs have te advantage of dropping one on top of the other so you bombing line is actually representative of where the bombs will hit, rather than side by side like other fighter jets which reslts in bombs landing more the the sides of the target.

Originally posted by LaikaSBStratoruns are awesome if you get them right. Ive never bothered to perfect the technique though and I usually screw it up.
The tricky part for most people is getting up to stratorun altitude, and this, like metallica said, is where situational awareness is so important.
