You're right, todays aircraft wouldn't stand up to a direct hit from a missile, which is why they go so fast
As long as I have a
chance of dodging incoming missiles I'll be fine with it. It just worries me when I hear people saything things like "The TR striker on the other hand is the best AV weapon IMO. It makes all forms of enemy aircraft useless" it worries me as piloting is what I like to do best. Now granted that's probably an overstatement, but still.
