All I can think of right now is I don't think the Su-37 has a 20mm Vulcan cannon. It doesn't have room in there for it. The 30mm cannon it has takes less room carrying only 150 rounds.

Pictures from vacation (updated with Museum of Flight pics)
JediMaster replied to FastCargo's topic in The Pub
I don't think that's an A-12. That looks like an SR-71 to me. A-12 was single-seat, had kinks in the chines around the nose, and had a folding fin under the tail a la MiG-23. I also think the SR-71 was the only one used in the D-21 program. -
Yeah, I saw those interviews on the 2nd DVD and laughed at their talk of Kat Ross. The truly ironic thing is for how important she thought she was, how much did she do after that movie?
-
That's one place I've never been, but plan on visiting someday!

Yeah, the one on the Bismarck and the one on the S Pacific naval engagement were really stretching it when it comes to the definition of "dogfights." A bunch of Swordfish vs a BB = NOT.

I can just picture trying to dogfight a sausage.

With the patches being so small, it doesn't surprise me that the DL image isn't updated with every patch. Some other games out there it's a different story...as soon as your patches have trouble fitting on a single CD...
-
Yeah really.

Eritrea and Ethiopia both got Russian fighters. One got Fulcrums and the other Flankers, but I don't know offhand which got which.

Odd aircraft - Dornier Do 200 for example
JediMaster replied to SayethWhaaaa's topic in Military and General Aviation
Ah, well I can't see or read 90% of the pics or links you guys post anyway thanks to the DoD's proxy filter, so I was going on name, not picture! As for the Forger, that was a naval aircraft, not AF, wasn't it? -
Right, the only planes in that range that don't count are the F-111 and F-117.
-
It looks "Bucc-ish" from the front, but from other angles you'll see that it's a MiG-19 from the tail to the wingroot leading edge. Only the cockpit/nose/intake arrangement differs.
-
Right, as "interim" fighters until their new fighter contract came about. Those planes would be F-16s, and they have started deliveries.

JediMaster replied to SayethWhaaaa's topic in Military and General Aviation
I remember that plane. The props' tips broke the sound barrier at speed, IIRC, and the noise was literally deafening. Ground crew reported becoming violently nauseous. -
I've never seen that before. I'm guessing lower roll rate but higher weights and ceiling and longer ranges possible.

Most damaged aircraft that remained flyable
JediMaster replied to Hawk MMS's topic in General Discussion
If you're hit by a few small-caliber (20mm or less) hits or a glancing missile hit (shrapnel) you'll get damage like that. -
What, Russia isn't European enough for you guys?
-
You can link an animation to throttle position? I didn't know you could.

I fought many of these over Korea in my F-16 back in the day.

It may be called the Gnat, but it stings like a bee.

I'm not holding out too much hope for OFP2 as it's not BIS. In related news, ArmA 2 was also announced recently.
-
I'm not sure exactly what the point of this exercise is, honestly...
-
I tried the PC version and liked it well enough, if you're into that kind of shooter. Little "tactical" gameplay here.

Actually, Israel's is usually more properly referred to as the IDFAF, just like Japan's JASDF (not JAF). The IAF has always been the IAF as far as I remember...since before Israel had one. The funny thing about this competition is the competitor have a WIDE range in price. Gripen and MiG-29 at the low end and Typhoon at the high end.

It's not so bad. I hear 49 is the new 46.
