FastCargo 412 Posted June 25, 2007 Hello CombatAce fliers! Welcome to Air Combat School. I am FastCargo and am your MFWIC of this forum! This forum is a subset of the CombatAce Website and will focus on Air Combat. What's that mean? 1. It will not be sim specific. It will focus more on all air combat, from 1 on 1 tactics, to prosecution of the strategic air war in support of political objectives. 2. It will not necessarily be a rehash of what is out there already. It will be a place to pass on information though, either something new or help those with questions find the information they need. But please don't ask a question unless you can't find a clear answer with Google or the search function on CombatAce. 3. After Action Reports (from real military pilots and virtual ones) are welcome...preferably with lessons learned to help your buds survive! 4. Force on force discussions are fine (A/C vs A/C, IADS, technologies and how they affect tactics, etc). 5. We all hear about dogfighting, only a little less on attacking ground targets with fighters. But what about recon, SEAD, standoff jamming, heavy bomber tactics? The less popular parts of the air war? Disadvantage tactics...how to survive when you're the one in the corner... Help all our buds in all parts of the conflict. 6. This is the place for the 'There I was' stories, where we talk with our hands! I encourage discussion on all parts of the air war. But with that being said: 1. This is not the place to bring up specific sim problems (bugs, quirks). There are other forums for that, please use them. 2. One thing we always try to tell budding pilots is that there a clear difference between procedure and technique, but that they get mixed up a lot...getting guys in trouble. For you forum participants, there is a difference between fact and opinion...but that gets mixed up a lot...getting guys in trouble. 3. There are things we are all passionate about...enthusiasm about military aircraft is no exception. But just like in real flying squadrons, leave the emotional baggage out of the engagement. If you find yourself getting wrapped up, it's time to take a deep breath, extend, and separate from the fight. We would prefer it not come to that of course... 4. Because military conflict supports political objectives a lot of the time, it is probable that the politics will enter into the air war discussion, especially at the strategic level...which means playing with WCE. Please don't use this forum to try to step around the rules about political discussions. 5. This forum is what you make it! The less rules we have to make, the less work we have to do to keep the peace, the happier we are! Welcome, and 'Fights On!' FastCargo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
