  1. Seventh mission was my first in RP6. Target was a railroad bridge, a proper target. We carried 3000 pound bombs but both my wingman and I missed the target. Flak was intense. On the way out I encountered my first SAM. Dove towards the ground and as I leveled out I saw it pass off to my eleven o'clock high. Took some minor damage from flak shells but nothing the maintainers can't patch up. 740 is starting to have patch work every few missions. I'm on ten missions now and since I've arrived at Korat we've lost two pilots. I've seen jets in other flights fireball and heard the radio calls. I don't know how the hell any of us are going to get out of Indochina alive.
  2. Second mission was in very low visibility. We managed to hit the target but I can't say the same for the B-57s hitting a different one. NVA hit my bird on the third mission. Tore the flap off the right wing and peppered the fuselage with holes. Republic builds them tough! (I didn't have any damage tgas show up). Fourth and fifth missions were uneventful. Seen a couple MiGs but otherwise missions in RP1 and RP3 have been routine. Not sure what sort of effect these strikes are having but I don't think hitting sheds and trucks are enough.
  3. Haven't played in about eight months. Came back with a fresh install of SF2V with eburger's expansion. Flying my trusty Thunderchief in Rolling Thunder. Taking off on my first mission. Endless jungle, sure hope I never have to go into it! Bombs away! The NVA opened up with flak as we rolled in One down, ninety nine more to go...
  4. Metrea. They operate four KC-135s that were previously flown by Singapore.
  5. Just goes to show the old Iranian desert pattern (Was it called Asia Minor?) works on anything!
  6. PLAAFES gut truck providing maintainers and flight crews with some snacks or a delicious meal that leaves everyone running for the closest toilet.
  7. I'll be honest I expected a bass boosted "cyka blyat!" from either the Hind or Felon.
  8. Is it possible the ex-Egyptian now ex-Iranian Su-35s were pressed into VKS service to make up for losses?
  9. Always found it interesting how many camos and variations of them that the USAF A-7s wore. Very fond of the two tone grey.
  10. Oh the humble Greyhound! Thanks Wrench and Coyote Aerospace team!
  11. Oh that’s interesting. Definitely explains why! Thanks

    Your First Sim

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, followed by Wings Over Europe. I apologize for making any of you feel old. Truth be told it definitely seems like I missed the golden age of flight sim options.
  13. Flying the F-4C in 1986 is a challenge. You hope for the F-15s to take on the Flankers, Fulcrums, and Flogger Ks, but no they're off dealing with some Frogfoots, so it's up to the Weekend Warriors from California in their 20 year old crates to deal with them.
  14. Just tried it for the first time. It's a fun change! T-33s and Sea Furys prove to a decent opponent for a Scooter. Encountered the same early ending after only two missions though. Is it possible that the campaign ends if too much of the enemy air force is destroyed?
  15. Figured as much. Guess it's time to do the Vietnam thing and stuff some chaff into the airbrakes with some ini editing.
  16. Playing NATO Fighters V 1986 campaign, rather bravely I might add, in the Cali ANG F-4C. To my surprise it has no chaff or flares! Would the F-4Cs being flown by the Air National Guard in the 1980s really not have countermeasures?
  17. Been away from this for too long. Little bit of Wild Weasel IV action to get back into it. Ended up getting smacked out of the sky by an SA-11...some things never change!
  18. OTC was always one of my favorite mods so I'm excited to try this!
  19. Oh hell yeah this keeps me employed too lol
  20. Ukraine MoD has released a video showing AGM-88s on a MiG-29
  21. I never have time to play SF2 anymore, but I still enjoy coming here and seeing the new mods, especially all the recent insurgent and Taliban stuff you've been making, GKABS. PS: I don't want to be that guy, but it's Afghan. Afghani is the currency
  22. Should be fun! Thanks
  23. Been a hot minute since I've been able to play SF2 at all since I changed shifts at work, but last weekend I finally upgraded to the current version of the mod. Still an awesome job done by all. Really enjoy it. Game suddenly decided it won't work anymore on my computer, but that's either on SF2 or my hardware. Due for an upgrade anyway!
