Strelac024 Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 There's some kind of error F-15s are almost impossible to shoot down... No matter how many times I shoot at them they always just fly straight and drop chaf/flares and avoide the missile... And it's not a missile bug, I've tested them on some F-104s and they fly straight and true on to the target. What shall I do? Quote
mdatelmi Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I made a test mission with two F-104S ASA-M against two f-15A...two Aspide missed and an AIM-9L blowed one out of the sky and with another 9L damaged the second (my wingman launched two Aspide and 9L without success...) The Eagle is a hard bird! 1 Quote
Strelac024 Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 Well they aren't matched, i took F-104s as an example of an aircraft witch doesn't fight back hard enough (like target practice) ... But I'm not fighting them with F-104s , I'm fighting them with MiG-31s we fire about 20 missiles (R-37 Arrows) at them without a single hit... something must be wrong :P Quote
Strelac024 Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 Hah xD... But seriously, this ain't fair -.- Quote
+streakeagle Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 What patch level? At one point, chaff/flares/ecm were too effective, working almost 100% of the time. Quote

Well you have 2 ways to shoot down F-15's in the game: 1- in the aircrafts folder go to F-15 DATA.ini [ECM] SystemType=ECM_JAMMER JammerType=DECEPTIVE_JAMMER JammerStrength=60.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< lower this number MinFreq=2.0 MaxFreq=20.0 CanJamCW=TRUE [DecoyDispenser1] SystemType=DECOY_DISPENSER EjectPosition=-1.13,1.40,-0.88 EjectVelocity=-2.59,0.00,-9.66 NumChaff=60 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< and this one NumFlare=30 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< also this [DecoyDispenser2] SystemType=DECOY_DISPENSER EjectPosition= 1.13,1.40,-0.88 EjectVelocity= 2.59,0.00,-9.66 NumChaff=60 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< and this NumFlare=30 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< finally this one too but to me its cheating 2- AMBUSH them, fly as low and fast as possible when u get close enough zoom climb, lock, and fire, get as close as possible to ensure a hit. this surprise attack technique always works with me, because if they see u they cannot fire at u or when they fire their missiles will hit the ground, ground clutter is better than ECM sometimes.

+streakeagle Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 In SF2, I can beat F-15s flying MiG-23s... if I successfully survive the merge. I stay low and close as fast as possible, but go perpindicular to break locks. If I don't make any mistakes, I can get into a close-in turn fight. From that position, I have at least a 50% chance of getting into firing position before running out of fuel. AA-8s can get the job done or at least slow down the F-15 enough for a gun kill. Sometimes, I even manage an AA-7 RH kill. But it takes precise flying. If I keep my view inside the cockpit, I can't see/judge the angles well enough to win consistently, but I can still win more than 25% of the time. It really depends on how the F-15 AI flies. If it flies perfectly, it is a draw or I lose. Quote
