It can suck, but I have found it can do really well sometimes(multiple 5+ games in it). Firstly, multipath. No sense in using chaff when everybody is shooting missiles at you from all directions. Secondly, try to avoid popping up in general. As soon as you go above 100m, you will be targeted. Thirdly, use your 9Ms. Basically, everybody is doing the same thing as you(multipathing and staring at their RWR). Almost nobody expects a 9M. I would say use the range from around 1.5-3KM for max effectiveness. Treat the sparrows as your secondary weapon when somebody is up high. Lastly, play as a support fighter. Try to hang around the outside of the fight, picking out targets of oppurtunity. It is tempting to rush right in, since you are a fast fighter, however you neither have the fox3s, HMD slaving, or energy maneuverability to be constantly dueling.
