Appears that there is a VERY easy way to get away from AA/A2A missiles in jets. Don't turn, don't drop flares, just fly straight. The new missiles will most likely miss and chase after a friendly or just fly into space.

Re: Easy way to lose AA/A2A missiles?
He's actually correct. I had an enemy chopper simply hovering in front of my AA. He never moved, just sat there...shooting at people I guess. Anyway, I locked on and fired a total of 12 AA rockets at him. Not one hit...but the MOMENT he moved his chopper and started to fly off, my two AA rockets hit for the kill. -
Re: Easy way to lose AA/A2A missiles?
I'd like to declare right now that this thread is a load of old cobblers. I hovered in front of AA as a chopper and got totally owned. :) And I've flown up behind enemy jets who obviously thought flying straight helped to evade missiles...needless to say, it doesn't.
What kind of crackpot theory is this?! :pComment

Re: Easy way to lose AA/A2A missiles?
Flying straight + flares is probably the best combo. A missile lock from the Essex = fly straight up and pound 'e' these days.Comment

This is obviously not how they meant it to be but then again how hard is it to take down a hovering chopper with a mounted .50cal or M95... and how hard it is to shoot down a jet flying straight with the nose turret of your own jet?
Not very :)Comment

Yup if your in a plane flares and fly a bit downwards with them, then just pull up when the missile lock is lost. That way ground wount be able to see you, and if its a plane well i got my ways of losing themComment
