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

*jaw hits the floor*

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.

Emperor's servants everywhere... *said old tyranid*

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...

Is it scramble or scripted take off? The plane is not always a fighter...

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...

Neat, huh?

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.

Easy there I'm just getting into jet combat. After 500 MG rounds common for WWI birds your tiny cannon ammo box is just too little for me. But yeah... Eagle vs. Migs is unfair :yes: One pull of the stick and you get almost sattelite view on them.

Damn... I'd better get a stopwatch somewhere. Mirages burn up their fuel awfully fast. Tried intercept on F-15. Got confused with radar modes. Wasted all Sparrows, sent all Sidewinders at one Mig who evaded them easliy. Managed to work out how air-combat radar mode works and nearly got first gun kill. Unknowingly evaded a load of missiles launched from 6 o'clock. Off to read the manual, I guess...

There is! 16 Vikhr missiles on Su-25T. Even if you fire them in salvos of two (maximum that guidance system can handle at a time) you stlill have to make 8 (4 if you got quick fingers) perfectly straight runs at the target aiming the bleeding visual tracker and keeping straight flight after launch so that the almighty beam-riding missile didn't get lost. And the guys below will be waiting for you on the second run already. The system is good for attack choppers (still, it's no Hellfire) but high-precision ground attack is pretty much hit and run for a plane.

Ok... Despite being a WWI fan I took WOI for a test drive. Strike Mission - Skyhawk - Hard everything and, I think, Unlimited detail (whooping 16 fps!). When not in WWI I always choose ground attack. You don't think this payload is a bit of overkill? After figuring out how the heck the thingamamobs that stick out of wings are controlled and enjoying the rear view through mirrors (hey, some had them in WWI too!) I took off dragging my tail as if it were loaded with a ton of bricks. Got to target area on manual control, ordered wingmen to wreak havoc on the ground, missed with all my clusters, heard wingman receive a greeting salute from SAM. While they were busy I somehow managed to make another run dropping all GBUs on heads of Arabs tickling me with machineguns. Followed this by a napalm goodbye which naturally didn't hit ***t. Lost another wingman to SAM. Strangely enough we weren't attacked by enemy aircraft - some of them ignored us as they had no radar and were way too high. The others probably were just too amused buy our pefrormance. So me and the other guy got out of target area at which point I noticed that flying on 100% throttle the whole time actually left me with 1/3 of fuel. But I had no chance to learn what happens when fuel gauge hits zero, because enjoying scenery and low-level flight at the same time leads to what? Right, you understand. But I'll be back... for more. So... Noob question one. Why's Skyhawk so [censored] responsive to roll input? NQ2: Isn't that simple gunsight supposed to be projected only on the sight prism? With 6DOF TrackIR it kinda wanders off-limits easily.

No credit/debet card either? A friend with one maybe? TW shop works without PP account - I know it does 'cause my bank never worked properly with paypal, yet I could buy FE expansion. And without starforce... the main reason I gave up on lockon, despite I like low-level ground attacks a whole lot. Probably will get WOE for A10 later, if it's worth it and gets updated.

So, I guess these birds can be made flyable? Will the older pits in download section work?

This is what TK calls sim-lite??? Wow! *one more day... one more day before I get it..*

It was upped just now Somebody was going to make Nieuports when this comes out

I'm not, 'cause I started with FE :) There the AI really came alive as some of less experienced and scared pilots would turn around and run home, instead of engaging... I'll definitely get WOI now :yes: Maybe earlier games too, if they get patched.

TK was in such hurry..

Uh... the USSR had a similar purpose/size fighter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-28
