why are you at 40 meters? fly into and out of the notch (perpendicular to the missile) while dropping chaff and they won’t hit you
alternatively it missile is fired from range then go cold (fly straight away from missile while slowly adjusting your trajectory to make it maneuver and lose speed)

Because radar missiles don't like when you are below 70 meters.

You should not rely on Multipathing. It's very easy to play around it and it's very easy to go above the Multipathing height long enough for a missile to successfully track and score a kill on you. There's also the issue if you're trying to multipath something like an AIM-54, its blast radius is large enough to still damage/kill you.

So I can't dodge an Aim-54 I can just outrun It , Great top tier gameplay gaijin

40 meters above sea level might be a little high. Also f14 fox 3 have higher explosive damage and range than other fox 3 such as amraams.
I highly suggest you not fly in a straight line and "notch" the missile OR decrease altitude to about 25 meters - 30 meters. I have about 6 thousand kills in the f14 and i dodged the same amount of fox 3's if not more. If you see a radar missile going towards you it is best to turn 90-110 degree away from it as it will lose track.

My radar can detect like 6 different missiles , most of the time It seems to detect "AI" or something like that

AI = Aircraft Interception

Air-to-Air radar

EDIT: It's your radar warning receiver showing AI. Not your radar.

You don't and it won't pick up a pulse-Doppler radar.
