Congrats to both of you and thanks for all you've done!

Just realized that's an RS2 Avant. What a car!

Hard mode: As World War Three erupts in September, 1979 and the Warsaw Pact breaks through the Fulda Gap, the New Jersey Air National Guard's 141st TFS receives Title 10 orders and deploys to Europe in their F-105Bs. (dear god help me I have no RWR)

Doing stupid shit like this is why I still play SF2 after all these years. An-12s taking off from an East German base my wingman just bombed? Heck yeah I'm gonna go for the guns kill!

An oldie but a goodie, AD's F-105G (With DA's updates) defending Europe during Red Lightning '79.

Night hunt

Thanks!

Dhimar's terraforming technology has gone too far! Paran's response to this Dhimari magic will be swift, violent, and just! Thanks Wrench! I never knew this was a thing from back in the day.

http://www.gonavy.jp/ is a very good source for finding information on historic CVW deployments and assignments. For instance, here's Constellation's air wings throughout her history http://www.gonavy.jp/CV-CV64f.html

For your future use, Midway was forward deployed in Japan at the time. Nimitz, Carl Vinson, and Constellation all made deployments to the North Pacific during 1989.

I was the SEAD. That site wasn't the primary target but I at least wanted to hit the radar after they shot down my wingman. 1994 Black Sea Crisis campaign. Weasel Flankers are still 28 years away. Off to snap some pictures in the PRC. (Yes Formosa Freedom Enhancement is still ongoing just at a slower pace so I don't lose interest)

It's times like this where I wonder if our Soviet SAMs might be a little more capable than what we've seen in real life (I got careless around an S300 battery and didn't think it could bag a plane within two miles of the launcher)

Gepard your personal knowledge of Soviet and Warsaw Pact tactics and doctrine is truly appreciated.

Anyone tried the rocket lofting method that Russian and Ukrainian aircraft have routinely been seen doing over the past two years? If so, have you had any success? I really don't use rocket pods all that often so I kinda suck with them in general. Just curious if anyone has tried it with red air or blue air and managed to score any hits on an enemy tank formation or something. If you don't know what the rocket lofting is, picture an Su-25, Mi-24, or Ka-52 flying low and level, quickly pulling back on the stick to generate a positive angle of attack, and firing off a volley of rockets while in that brief positive AoA, and then quickly descending or retreating to stay low and avoid hostile AAA and SAMs. Here's a couple videos of it being done. I believe it's done to get more range out of the rockets. https://youtu.be/2c_apkoBiuo https://youtu.be/RM30BNUYOe8

Doesn't appear to be in there
