Me: F/A-18F w/ 1 x ATFLIR, 4 x GBU-12, 3 x AIM-9X, 2 x AIM-120C, one tank, full gun (plus Escort flight)
Opposition: 4 x Mirage F1 w/ 2 x IRIS-T and 2 x Super 530F and one tank
Was doing a strike on Kharg Island when on the overhead map it showed a flight of four Mirage F1s heading Southwest. So once I got in range I opened up with one AMRAAM since it looked like where I was going, they were going too. It flew true, however only damaging the lead F1 (or one of them anyway) forcing him to turn into me. After watching him and realizing he wasn't shot down, I fed him another AMRAAM, this time it hitting him nose on. One of his buddies locked me up and shot a Matra Super 530 at me, missing due to jinking. Seeing another Mirage coming in (perhaps it was the same one) I targeted him and fed him an AIM-9X, after jinking around and getting my bearings (Bermuda Triangle Syndrome, it was foggy and when pulling G's I nearly blacked out, disorienting me until I got oriented properly) after getting disoriented, I turned into the Mirage, feeding him a 9X. He ate that one as he was turning into me and another one fired an IRIS-T at me and only damaging me, but I was still flying. I targeted him and fed him my second to last 9X but it went Stoopid so I fired my last one. By this time my escort birds were in the vicinity so it got real interesting (the only two screenshots below) when I heard a Fox Two call (pucker factor way up) but the last 9X hit and the escort bird got the coup de grace as I only hit the Mirage. I did try some half-hearted attempt at gunning him down but I think it just scared him (noticed that with an F-4 one time) before he was killed.
Takeaways? Since this was more of a mission oriented DACT it pays to focus on what matters first and where you are and to also be aware of your surroundings, and again when facing multiple opponents, move move move. Attention to detail is important when targeting and letting loose IR homers in the vicinity (and them letting them loose in the vicinity of you). But it shows that some sort of tactical patience works and rapid target acquisition and termination are the keys to success.
