Yeah, but FE didn't have Frescos with flaps, airbrake, gear and all that stuff. And I never had enough luck to see anyone land there except for flight of scared bombers who landed at sight of fighters.

Ok... got it Still, it's strange that all those radars give no aid for bombing. Hey, I got out of this alive and even in one piece! Half of them wasted ammo and missiles and headed home. While others were turning around I dropped the tanks and hit AB at low atlitude. Landed on nearest friendly airbase avoiding last missile already on approach...

Learned to kill and not get killed in Mirage a little After missing all his shots Mig-17 ran away from me and I could swear he went for cloud cover. Didn't go higher or lower - just hid on cloud level so I had to track him with radar and looking for exhaust trail. After a while he did a sharp turn and radar lost him but at the same time we flew into a huge gap in clouds so I could get a visual lock. Cannon did its job then. That was FUN! Wiki page on A-4 says that among other stuff A-4E and the later versions were fitted with What are those two supposed to mean and is there any assistance to bombing aim in A-4? Maybe I just don't see it... BTW, WOI manual says that A-4H were Israeli special model, but same wiki page says it was A-4F.

Купил вполне русской кредиткой альфабанка. Как и в случае с адд-оном к First Eagles прошло без проблем, минуты через две после оплаты уже получил адрес для скачивания. Никакого гемора с активацией и прочей защитой. И переписать инсталлятор можно куда угодно.

Can't. Stop. Taking. Pictures. I like numbers in this sim... 16 rocket-loaded Vautours - this is madness! Escorted by me and my wingie... half didnt' even make it to the target :) And... those guys. Both managed to take quite a beating. Sidewinders can't hit even them... none of the four me and my wingie launched got even close to hitting though I had a lock on. Then Two wasted all cannon ammo and I had to come in. One got its tail shot to bits, the other was hit in the engine and blew up so hard there literally wasn't anything to fall on the ground.

Had to land just now in the desert in friendly territory - 3 Fishbeds and one Fresco started dancing around me. Hit airbrake, 0 throttle, glided for a while forcing them to maneuver a lot - they couldn't get a shot on me and trying to gun one of them myself was a clear way to die. But I delivered one Sidewinder into Mig-17 rear earlier so wasn't sorry about quitting early. Hm... you know - the desert's not so flat You cant' see them from above but there are lots of small hills in some areas. Nice change from table flat fieds of First Eagles. Can actual 60-70 jets stand landings on "uncivilised" terrain?

Started 6 Days War campaign yet again. Those massive airstrikes look awesome... Campaigns are great in general. Returning after mission only to find your own airfield under attack and get rear full of shells on landing approach.. fun! I noticed there are well armoured Ammo Bunkers next to the airfield. Will destroying them limit enemies' ordnance?
-
Hell on earth... Love night missions. Strike mission - ordered wingman to cover me against Mig-21. He jettisoned all ordnance and went after them blazing guns. A-4 seems to work quite nice against in gun combat but jams come fast... Apparently the rear turrent is unmanned They sure can fight though Funny, the ships in the port are not the type I'm sent to bomb in Anti-ship strikes

На всякий пожарный - Weapon editior под XP надо запускать в режиме совместимости с win98. Объяснение принципов анимаций (на английском) http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=24370 Завтра сам будут пытаться подключить открывабельные кабины родным cамолетам WOI, поэтому непонятные моменты может смогу прояснить.

NQ4: Any way to make canopy open? I found in A-4F data.ini that it already has animationID assigned... Edit: Oh, wait.. I should create a system for it as in here? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=24370

If TK patches WOV and WOE to WOI FM and AI level, I'll buy them too :yes: *I shouldn't stick so many abbreviations in one line *

I can't say I could observe anything much - apparently a number of wings of both Israeli and Arabs were performing CAS over a tank combat and there were smoke and explosions everywhere and planes releasing bombs and going into air-to-air... But I DID hear a message saying that someone was coming in to mark the target with smoke rockets. But I don't even know what the result should look like. It was CAS on Phantom in one of earliest available years. Heavy SAM and Enemy activity. The Beagle on the screenie above also appeared in the same mission - first time I saw it airborne. Try to repeat - maybe you'll get lucky

Edited your post. Look how it should be done

It gets better... A-a-and... CAS missions really allow to see lots of stuff happening. I even got an order from the operator to bomb some dug-in troops and followed by a warning about small arms fire. Then there was someone shouting he's firing smoke rockets to mark target... There was pretty much smoke by that time already, so I don't know if it all really did take place there.

Ok... Guys (and girl) how do you manage to fly Mirage? When I'm in control that's more of an unguided rocket. Can't roll, pitch input leads to turbulence and complete loss of lift. Not to mention lack of any air-to-ground targeting assistance. SEAD missions in Six Days War are real pain in the...

Hm... Migs also work really good with rockets agains tanks NQ3: Kfir's radar serves only as rangefinder, right? Nice plane for CAS if loaded properly... still difficult to distinguish enemy from friendly at such speeds. And delta wings of this and Mirage make you pull up really carefully

Took 2 Skyhawks on a radar-busting mission. Got in easily, hit the targets, headed back. Wingman was a bit behind and got hit badly by SAM. So he's falling down in flames slowly (with pilot ejected) when I hit Alt+N, Z-z-z-zap! and we are above home base. WE. The flaming carcass of my wingie was obviously keping formation on my left wing. Naturally he started falling again. But imagine my feelings when I saw my pit lit by flames when I knew I was alone...

Can we get a proper link? I don't have registration at their forums to see it for myself. -
Scored my first gun kill on F-16 vs. Mig-21. Wasn't that easy 'cause the Arab kept killing throttle and engaging the airbrake getiing on my tail in a second. Tried to get some more kills with the gun, expended ammo and nearly at the same moment fuel ran out. Had to glide home. Mission failed - the bomb-loaded Migs we were to intercept kept low profile and got to target without many losses. And now for something completely different. NEVER piss off a Fishbed They also managed to gun down one of my flight.
