i was having a discussing about teh whole "do not fire unless fired upon" schtick that you see in movies. personally, i dont ever recall seeing that in real life. if you observe actions that reasonably demonstrate the other guy is going to try to hurt you, you can engage

like the USS Higbee in '72. i dont know teh ROE at that time, but one can assume VPAF fighters coming out over the water and towards your ship are not coming to say hi....

should have gave teh wingman the rockets. he missed and two pods of 57mm evidently werent enough to sink the Yankee pirates....

was curious to see what happens if your wingman is of an opposing nation. was rather disappointed when he didnt try to kill me

Mixed pair of MiG-21SM, consist of one fighter of the Frontline Aviation (VVS) and one of the Naval Aviation, over the Kuril islands.

Going vertical.

BTW. The black square at the nose of the MiG-23 is not a so called "fake cockpit". It is there to avoid reflexions of the skin in front of the IR-sensor.

Was testing bits on a forthcoming terrain, and got zapped by something I didn't see. (that splash and oil slick is all that's left of me) Wingman got away.

The only that can came to my mind, was a quote from a famous Robert E. Howard short story...

"While Grom howled and beat his hairy chest, death came to me in the Valley of the Worm"

Was working on this (below), with all it's attendant issues, until I discovered the version by PauloPanz. With a model without tractor beams (HIGHLY recommended!). So, here's just a shot of my version, that I've archiving. (GET THE PAULO VERSION of the Foxbats!!!)
