Mannie 21 Posted March 22, 2008 Hey guys. I wanted to have some fun, and went on a strike mission in the north. My target was a ammo bunker, but thats not the point. After finishing off my primery, I still had some airial threats and was left off with only A2G weapons. Will I give the fight up and go home?? You should know me better by now. Here are some pics. enjoy. Locking on the mig with a Maverick, and off he goes. I'll see you later pal. (A lot later) . Next time don't mess with me Okay? (There won't be a next time for you.). Coming back home safe and sound. Just for the record. Hope you liked it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+EricJ 3,931 Posted March 22, 2008 hehe I guess nobody thought to try it out (to include me!), cool stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Viggen 516 Posted March 22, 2008 I love doing that! Works the opposite to! Yesterday I launched a nuclear falcon at an SA-2 and had 85 kills! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Spectre_USA 7 Posted March 22, 2008 I have switched to air threats whilst I had a Maverick selected, and saw them pictured, but never thought to take the shot! Probably a better hit percentage than the A-A missiles at this time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+EricJ 3,931 Posted March 22, 2008 More than likely in game mechanics it doesn't register as a "threat" and the enemy fighter doesn't jink or drop countermeasures (Yes I know an optically guided weapon won't even "think" about such a thing but talking about AI behavior, not real life tactics).

Gr.Viper 131 Posted March 22, 2008 AFAIK, real attack choppers can use their A2G missiles against slow-flying targets. At least Russian "Vikhr" can be fired that way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Crusader 2,050 Posted March 22, 2008 the TOW too.... was used by Iranian Cobras to kill Iraqi Hinds and Hips should work with Hellfire also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,544 Posted March 22, 2008 in ATF from Janes I was hunting helos with LGB`s, you could point the laser on the helo and release the weapon from a nice small angle,... 9 from 10 hits the helo. Don`t know how this works here in SF series. It was nice to hunt down with Aim-9L some groundtargets.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
