My First Raptor Kill...

[WarlordATF 1]

I Had to share this mission, It took place off the Florida coast in 2008. My flight of 4 Su-22s was tasked with a strike mission with Mig-29s flying cover. After hitting our target runway in Key West we were jumped by a flight of 4 Raptors. I ordered my my flight to engage air and sent my wingman after a Raptor that was on the six of one of the 29s. The Raptors had no problems engaging.

 

This shows the AI is working, Just sometimes you get dump pilots.

 

I noticed a Raptor bugging out with a 29 in pursuit, i lit the burners and launched both heat seekers, no surprise they miss. Time to go for guns...

 

See ya! This ones mine!

Somethings not right!?!

 

Uh Oh... Debris must have clipped the tail!

Its Time to get outta Here!

 

Soon to be picked up by the coast guard and locked away as a POW.

 

In Debrief i learned my entire flight was shot down.

 

Moral of the Story? Don't Mess with a Raptor!

I was playing around witht he Raptor last night. AI MiG-21 got very close to the Raptor and gunned its tail. It as found that the Raptor does take partial damage. Some shrepnetls fell off from the aircraft's tail when it was hit by the guns.

All aircraft can take partial damage. Look closely at the ini files to figure out why this is. Heck, you can even adjust said factors...

I remember my first Raptor kill...late Cretaceous.

 

A three foot long Velociraptor Antirrohpus. Stalked him and his pack for the best part of two days. Not easy I can tell you. Had to stay well upwind. Got him when he was distracted at a big waterhole. Took the shot from sixty meters and that's pretty far when you're using an M-099 40 watt laser...oops...

 

...Oh, you mean that kind of Raptor
