tips How to increase missile hit rates for my plane .?

[johntitor]

I have noticed that overhaul mods like Black sea crisis and Operation Darius severely degrade my missile performance . While long range missiles can be spoofed , I refuse to believe the same with short range launches . Normally in the original strike fighters for example in sf2 Europe , I can easily kill enemies using sparrow missiles over a range of 16 miles . In black sea crisis and operation Darius and many other mods , my aim 120 is spoofed at a distance of around 30-35 miles which is ok for a missile but at close like 12 miles , at these ranges if i shoot a fox 3 , the enemy planes easily spoof it by using just a bit of chaff while I have to dive down to ground while wasting around 40 chaff per missile fired by them .. I refuse to believe that amraams or archers are spoofed at close ranges and it's really frustrating . I normally fire in search mode . Is there any way to edit something in the game folders so that the missile hit rates are balanced . It's really annoying when I have to dive down and waste my missiles while the enemy shoots me like iam a paper plane . Same thing goes for sam's too. Help is appreciated . 

If this is a skill issue on my part , then share some tips to improve my gameplay . Enemy difficulty is set to normal though setting at easy difficulty didn't help either . Thanks in advance

You'll have to edit each missile in the folders to get what you want, but even with my setup, AIM-120Ds get spoofed (not often mind you) by MIG-23s, so it is what it is. Then again I do also fire them at long range, but sometimes a hit is guaranteed more often than not.

Thanks for the tip but I noticed that firing in TWS mode at 15-20 miles gives a 100% kill , and my mistake was using search mode ..I found this becuz when I fired phoenixes in Search mode or RWS , they would often miss but not in tws mode

Ahh that does the trick doesn't it? I don't do much A2A so I missed that detail. Well it's good you figured it out though.
