1. Using countermeasures during a head on engagement, taking the shot and continuing to move forward until the pass. Without a turn away, you are vulnerable to a archer infrared missile.
2. Avoiding a missile with a turnaway at the last minute and then turning to re-engage the enemy without taking a shot at them. Without being aggressive while being defensive, the enemy will climb, and then launch a missile at you with more energy at closer range making the easy kill.
3. Avoiding a missile with a turnaway at the last minute and being aggressive with only part of the enemy air group. When you turn around after avoiding the missile, another enemy will launch a missile at closer range and at higher altitude for the easy kill.
4. Not expecting follow up launches like you would in previous versions of falcon. In previous versions of Falcon, enemy aircraft will not launch follow up missiles during the head on engagement. Not expecting these is like playing a late version A Falcon BMS like an old version of Falcon.
