Ok you have detected a missile, well that is to be expected, these guys just don't want to get bombed, it's nothing personal.
If the missile is firing at an aircraft, you have some work to do:
- If this is an SA-2, dive below 1,000 ft.
- If this is not an SA-2, climb above 25,000 ft.
- Get out of the engagement range and do it fast.
- Take stock and re-plan. If you have more aircraft coming in select them, un-assign them, hit "CTRL + E" to disengage from targets and pull them into a safe area while you think.
If the missile is firing at a weapon, it is very inconvenient but to be expected. Now you may have to re plan things and re-assign aircraft to targets.
- If this is an SA-2 engaging you, you have some SLAMs just for this purpose.
- If this is SHORAD, try and find out what type and study the DB to find a weakness.
- Remember a SHORAD's job is to keep you high in the SA-2 envelope but hopefully you have killed them already. What weapons do you have that can engage from a high altitude? LGBs perhaps? If you drop from directly above, they will have a harder time hitting the bomb. Guided glide type weapons (such as Skipper or Maverick) are easier for them to hit. Save your glide weapons for the AAA and reassign some bombs to the SAMs.
- Do not let your low-level attackers come in while there are undamaged SAMs or AAA in the area. Things will get messy.
