Yes but mostly when it first was released. I haven't been flying much DCS lately due to the decline in practices. When we've been testing @Flyboy's campaign I've been doing mostly rotorcraft.
It's really good at close in knife fights due to it's mix of infrared and radar guidance and the helmet mounted sight is really useful. BVR is a bit iffy especially against more modern Western acft. (not surprising). But when paired with competent GCI the infrared seeker let's you do a sneaky attack... but not against all seeing AI. High thrust to weight makes energy management relatively easy. I like it.
