• PL-12, MICA-EM, Derby, AAM-4, Р-77, AIM-120A/B — the mistakenly absent angle gating mechanic has been enabled for these missiles with the release of the “Storm Warning” major update.
  How angle gating works: if a target enters the radiation pattern of a seeker’s radar and this new target’s angular coordinates, and therefore angular velocity, differ significantly from the angular coordinates and angular velocity of the previously tracked target, then the guidance system ignores it, switching to the inertial guidance in accordance to last known angular coordinates and angular speed, acquired from the seeker.
  Angle gating helps avoid the re-targeting to any interference that emerges in the radiation pattern of the radar, such as an aircraft, flying near a target with a marginally different distance and/or radial speed, or chaff in some cases. With other parameters being the same, angle gating works better at shorter ranges than at longer ones.
  We’d also like to note that due to the fact that when angle gating starts working due to chaff acquisition, the radar doesn’t see the real target (an aircraft). So now to successfully dodge listed ARH missiles, the target needs to change their trajectory more noticeably than before, so the missile, which is being guided accordingly with the last known target angular coordinates and angular velocity, won’t hit the aircraft. And an even better option is to exit the seeker’s field of view by the time the tracked chaff exits it. In this case, the missile won’t even be able to reacquire the target.
