as seen in another thread ... USCG PB-1G well, I was able (with the help of the LOD Viewer --all praise Mue!!--) to get the painted on stripes aligned (in 4 segments!) on the fueselage and dorsal fin. There are other problems; some holes in the right side of the fin, where it joins the upper fues, has the large belly radome and not the smaller chin radome the ARS units would have. Also, there's no internal mapping in the waist and nose regions so decals show through from the outside. I sure a 'fake pilot' unit could be added, as I've already hidden the belly radome. Just need the A-21 boat, eh?? btw, last time I worked on this was June, 2015!!!!! I wonder if Veltro might still have the MAX files, and if so someone could seal up the gaps and maybe create a seperate map for the interiors. If not ... well, it's really just for eye candy

Early years of a long war........

It is an old tactic for soviet combat helicopters. I found it in a tactical document of the East German Army. It is called "Angriff aus dem Hochziehen" (attack while pull up). The pilots did not loved this kind of attack, because the helicopters had no aiming device for it. The tactics said, that you need a two ground controllers on the ground. Or two orientation points. The line between the two points or controllers marks the flightpath. When reaching the second point you must pull up to a specific angle, with a specitic speed and start firing the unguided rockets. This had to be done very accurate. If not the rockets hit anything else, but not the target. Even the wind direction and wind speed must be in the calculation. A direct hit on a small target, like a tank is nearly impossible. Areal targets can be hit with a certain degree. After the pull up maneuver it was orderd to fire masses of flares, dive down and go over to very low flight level. And run away. In SF2 world you will see no or less success with this kind of attack.

I dont think, that we will see the Su-33 flying from a carrier again.
