It'll be something to see if Japan can go far since they will eventually face some serious powerhouses.

Most Difficult Intercept...
Lt. James Cater posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I was thinking about this after reading about "Old 666". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_666 In all the times doing WOE in particular, only two aircraft ever were almost certain to get to the IP with a minimum of hassle and once there they were impossible to stop. They were the F-105 and the F-111. In DiD i kept losing pilots in the Thud until one day a light bulb went off over my head and i adjusted tactics to the strenght of the aircraft, mainly it's tremendous straight line speed at low level. Flying from Bitburg in the 62 campaign, the goal was to get up to 18-20,000ft before reaching the river and then nursing fuel until the front was crossed. after that it was at best possible speed to the IP. The IP was the key. It was ideally 30 but a few times 35-40 miles. Once committed towards the target area, it was full throttle and unless a MIG happened to be at the right spot, there a very difficult intercept. Within 20 miles with nose down towards the target it was virtually impossible for a MIG to get you. The egress was straight for about 20 miles and nothing on the planet at that time was going to catch a Thud at low level. Then it was back to altitude and go home. The F-111 was a bit different. Due to it's immense range and speed at altitude, one could keep track of what's going on via radar and radio and work around the worst of it until it was time to head for the deck and go after the target. One might have to worry about SAM and AAA, but very few fighters can make an intercept once an F-111 is on the bomb run. Even the egress is another experience as it is incredibly fast down low. Hell, as soon as i finish my current DiD, i'm going back to WOE to fly thses birds again. -

Forget about it. Think of ways to get out of the situation with minimum loss. -
Damn, that's some lousy news to hear.

Lucky BUFFs?
Lt. James Cater replied to SandyC's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
To be brutally honest, If i know for a fact that is no MIG threat forget about historical realism. I'll escort them right to the edge of the SAM belt then head to the rendevous point and circle until they show up. -
I listen to everything possible except for Dance/Techno/modern pop/etc. Mainly though, i'm into the underground metal and Punk scenes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSqliYsH48Q&NR=1 Just can't find this kind of intensity anymore.

Cluster bombs or napalms?
Lt. James Cater replied to GMagos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Nice for YOU. How about your AI guys? Seriously, given a choice i use CBUs as much as possible. -
Cluster bombs or napalms?
Lt. James Cater replied to GMagos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Due to various issues, i tended to arm my fellow SPAD drivers with full loads of either napalm or CBUs. A really nasty loadout is the Super Strafer loadout with two 20mm and two 7.62 pods under the wings. -

Even as a little kid during the 70s a lot of that mentioned still applied. Man, how times do change!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I swear to God, it must be a law that boys are required to do something along those lines above. Dumbass me was once involved in a cherry bomb throwing duel and i still don't know how i didn't lose a few fingers when one went off while i was still holding it.

What's really funny is in the comments section, some idiots actually belive it was probaly due to "Chem trails"!

Lt. James Cater replied to GMagos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
First off, more time should be spent on the Range if you have problems with Napalm. The weapon is fine. Most likely your delivery is somehow at fault. I'm flying a B26K in WOV right now and CBUs are my weapon of choice for soft targets. Napalm is right behind it followed by 2.75 rockets (mainly flechettes.) WP is also a great piece of ordnance as you can a carry a max load of since they don't weigh much. BTW everyone-Fly DiD for a real challenge! -
I wasn't sure if i should post this but i figure that most here have probaly not heard of the worst thing since Rebecca Black. This is just so damn bad that despite multiple viewings, i've yet to endure the whole video. If you really want to be entertained, just check out Facebook. A page dedicated to hating them actually has more likes than their official one. Their label has been catching all kinds of hell.
