Countermeasures, while adding more "reality" to gameplay, it's not always fun when you're on the receiving end. In ACAH, enemies can spam infinite flares. In HAWX 2, enemies will constantly spam infinite flares to ruin your targeting, making them simply cannot be attacked with missiles. False targeting is useless in close range dogfight. It's hinted that AC7 will use a "better" version of DFM, so we'll be fighting the enemies mostly on close range. If you can visually see the enemy, the false targets can easily be ignored. So far in Ace Combat, false targets do not use a hologram of a plane, just air that can be locked on.
