Mr_Tayto Posted July 27, 2024 Posted July 27, 2024 Still having fun with Burning Sands, and managed to progress to the frankly awesome (for the setting) F-8D. One issue I'm having is a particular enemy "ace", targeting me meaning I've struggled to complete a fighter sweep mission twice; he always comes for me and shoots me down inside a minute of the merge. 3

Viggen Posted August 9, 2024 Posted August 9, 2024 (edited) It's times like this where I wonder if our Soviet SAMs might be a little more capable than what we've seen in real life (I got careless around an S300 battery and didn't think it could bag a plane within two miles of the launcher) Edited August 9, 2024 by Viggen 3 1
+daddyairplanes Posted August 9, 2024 Posted August 9, 2024 shoulda sent a Viper in to do a little SEAD first id say keep it low and fast, but you were in a Frogfoot.... meanwhile, with a unit and scheme few will likely recall.... 2

If the Viper (or any jet) had PGMs then it's doable, sneak up on it and waste it. But a HARM shot would be a waste of a good missile. The two S-300s we have in the Downloads section are setup (like the real one) to distract and prevent HARMs from shooting it, so low and fast and locked on with a Mav or so would do the trick. 2
Mr_Tayto Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 Bridge-busting with mk.84s, and POL strikes with mk.82s. The first picture confuses me. I'm flying with the 555th TFS at Udorn RTAFB in Rolling Thunder, and some time in 1966 we received an upgrade to F-4D (first pic), but without the TID under the nose? Then in '67 (just a few missions later), the F-4D with the vector RHAW with the TID returned. I couldn't find any reference to a model with a deleted TID except the later Navy models or the RAF export models. What am I missing? 3

I was the SEAD. That site wasn't the primary target but I at least wanted to hit the radar after they shot down my wingman. 1994 Black Sea Crisis campaign. Weasel Flankers are still 28 years away. Off to snap some pictures in the PRC. (Yes Formosa Freedom Enhancement is still ongoing just at a slower pace so I don't lose interest) 8
