Stealth bomber ironically more susceptible to lockons than fighter jets

The jammer is inferior in every single way vs the regular flares. I think dice should buff the Jammer so that it can block existing lock ons (incoming missiles). Far too often, you barely have any time to react to a wildcat lockon (faster than stingers); the wildcat can also launch two AA missiles consecutively, which makes it especially frustrating. Before anyone suggests that the jammer should be activated before engaging someone, this doesn't work when you're busy doing other stuff, like dogfighting, for instance.

  • Do you have the CIX Valravn for equipment slot 2 unlocked already? It will make the.Draugr temporarily invisible. Pair it with the DRFM jammer, and you will have a powerful combo to make stealthy bombing runs.

    Yes, the lock-on time for wildcats is really short, but there are counters to this. For example, flying under the radar altitude will prevent them and other lock-on weapons from locking onto you. Combine this with the above and some game sense and you will keep your Draugr alive much longer. With game since I mean, wildcats tend to camp near or in the spawn, so avoid those areas.

    And my final tip; as you already called it it is a stealth bomber, so stay away from dog fights as it is not its purpose. You will lose 9 out of 10 versus a jet.
