SayethWhaaaa Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Not hardly. Dave, mate, you know I respect you, yeah? But the Raptor is definitely "touchable". ...especially when the ratio is 12:1 in their (not my) favour. Quote

zmatt Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 The Chase I have flown the F-29A more than any other plane the past few days. it is a lot of fun to fly. Fast and maneuverable. I upped the on board ecm a tad, it was a little underpowered for my tastes but it is a great Mig killer. Quote

+Spectre_USA Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I took my usual range run, as per my personal SOP, and felt it worthy. I then ran a CAP mission, but it was a 4 vs. 2 on MiG-31BM's who chose not to loose their monster missiles at range, so it was easy and sleazy. I hope to get one of those mega mix-ups I've had before. Heck, I may even toss them into a WoI campaign that I've made with more modern jets. I've had some seriously hardcore dogfights in the 1st few missions before. Make it do CAP, Escort and Intercept only, and watch the fur fly! On the few occasions where I pulled through a turn, she seemed a nimble enough little minx, er, polecat! Quote
zmatt Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 She is a lot more agile than most jets that she would end up against. I'm surprised at how well she fights in the vertical. Does back flips faster than any other jet I have flown, and the turning is pretty good too. The only trouble I got in was after I dispatched a flight of J-7s and then Mig-31's. My whole flight was out of AAMs and Flankers jumped us on the way back home. I went low and fast. Lost 2 of my guys but I dodged every missile. They weren't kidding when they talked about the advantages of forward swept. The only real downside I see is that it takes a fairly sophisticated Fly-by-wire system to keep her going in a straight line. But I think the pros out weigh the cons. She turns more like a prop than a jet and I can always get on the inside. Quote
New Guy Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Just downloaded the Hawk, but haven't installed it... Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Installed, shakedown flight on the range. Beauty! Had to change the nation to Israel, otherwise it crashed on me, until I tried the Israeli terrain, and it tossed me on the Red side. I could extract the nations.ini from wherever the heck it is, but plan on whipping it around in WoI, so this works. 1st flight was good with the OA-4M pit I had tucked away. Seems appropriate. More tweaking to make it IAF, and try to get ground mapping in the pit on my end. Seems a nice light attacker, and looks just Sierra Hotel! Quote
