What countermeasure is more useful on Sparrow?

Flare only negates one missile, chaff prevents them from locking. Learn the lock distance and hit it before engaging and it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

I always pick chaff.

You're kidding. Each flare spreads only work for ONE missile?!

Yup, and their next missile will be ready long before you have another flare. I'm talking 1v1 oppressor or something. If several people shoot at you at the same time the flare might negate one or two more but that's as rare as getting hit by lightning. More often than not you will be in a 1v1 situation and if you got that lock distance memorized you will always win with chaff vs flare.
