Mannie Posted March 22, 2008 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.
+EricJ Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 hehe I guess nobody thought to try it out (to include me!), cool stuff
Viggen Posted March 22, 2008 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!
+Spectre_USA Posted March 22, 2008 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...
+EricJ Posted March 22, 2008 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 Posted March 22, 2008 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...
Mannie Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 I still have to try MK-82 to shoot down something with wings.
+Crusader Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 the TOW too.... was used by Iranian Cobras to kill Iraqi Hinds and Hips should work with Hellfire also.
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted March 22, 2008 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..
+JonathanRL Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Was there not once in Desert Storm an Aircraft destroyed a helicopter with a bomb from high Attitude?
Viggen Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Was there not once in Desert Storm an Aircraft destroyed a helicopter with a bomb from high Attitude? An F-15E hit an some Mil during the Gulf War yeah. He was using some sort of a Paveway.
+Gr.Viper Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 There was also a report of Hind shooting down a fighter jet head-on but I looked through available info and they all mention different weapon - ATGM, rockets, and gun
+Stary Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 There was also a report of Hind shooting down a fighter jet head-on but I looked through available info and they all mention different weapon - ATGM, rockets, and gun The Iraq Hind shooting down Iranian Phantom? It was by gun if my memory serves me well.
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 How do youtarget a plane with a mav in the TK series?
Bravo2009 Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Now will the Maverick fire while still on the ground ;) Sorry, sorry, can't leave the Iron Eagle references alone.
