For staying low against radar missiles, its not a bug in war thunder. Its a real life tactic called Terrain Masking. Search radars are verry susceptible to ground clutter and will cause them to either incorrectly track the target, or lose lock. Also, since radar missiles are meant to be fired at long distances, they track you based on where you will be by the time it reaches you, unlike IR missiles which will try to follow you based on where you are. Knowing this, if you dive toward the ground fast enough and low enough, the radar missile will just hit the ground since it cant tell what altitude it's at, and only goes where it thinks you will be.

Well put together. There're many guides on how to engage enemies in top tier, but very few covered the topic of how NOT to engage like yours do. Many real pilots have pointed out that bleeding energy while chasing someone will make you a rather attractive target, which is why a plan for separation is always needed before committing into anything. This is especially important for folks flying inferior platforms like F-4S against 3rd gen fighters, since any one of them with a working brain and enough determination will easily catch and kill you. Another useful thing is to pre-emptively fire off CMs if you feel yourself in a vulnerable situation and too occupied to look around. This can really make a difference if someone suddenly leaps over a hill and yeets a 9L at you from point-blank while you're busy operating radar and weapons.

So it's not an issue with the game. The radar in game is designed to work like that, because that's how radars work irl. Staying low to the ground works like this because of the ground clutter sending signals back to the sending unit

You may be flying too low or flying too high. If the missiles a direct hit you're flying to high, if it hits the ground and damages you then too low. Also you can see if its a IR missile or radar missile when you die. Im not perfect ive stayed low to avoid what i believed was a radar missile but was actually IR. Its all a learning process.
