SAM dodging is great fun - but at what cost to your countermeasures balance? In this video, we'll fly the F18 Hornet, and try find a good balance...
Remember, there's never a 100% in defending, especially when it comes to missiles, but chucking all but the sink for just 1 missile, maybe isn't ideal either. So what is?

-----------------
Hope people find this one useful, and as ever, this channel is not affiliated with ED in anyway. Had a couple of comments burred among several hundred kind & constructive in the last few weeks, making known their displeasure at the channel name "pretending to be Eagle Dynamics". I'll address this more formally in a video at some point, but briefly - for the 5 people still reading this, my channel was created in 2018 to make DCS videos, so I naively called it, "DCS Digital Combat Simulator" (but written as one very long word). Since then I have added mostly DCS videos, and the odd xplane video. I make clear on almost every video description & ending, this channel is not official and in no way related to, endorsed by, officially or otherwise ED (eagle dynamics) and that the DCS logo and Digital Combat Simulator is their product, their copyright. My ONLY saving grace, is that the name Digital Combat Simulator was already taken (thank goodness) and by combining the letters D.C.S. and the full name as one, I skirt awfully close, but not quite, to taking the exact name. That said, I'm not comfortable with this, and I am working to resolve it. As I can't change my RU-vid user name, I'm still exploring other options available - until I do, please hang fire in this department!
