  1. From what I read, PoW were helped by the red cross who delivered them food from their native countries. Due to the high number of prisonners on both sides, they were usually fairly well treated for fear that if one side mistreated prisonners, the ennemy would retaliate.
  2. I noticed the same thing but saw 2 problems : 1- gunners are too deadly, but a player can somewhat handle this 2- AI is suicidal against gunners
  3. A major scientific advance ?

  4. Historic air show in Iran

    I know a former Iranian military, he drove T72s and Chieftains
  5. Never Again!

    Good post jedimaster
  6. Actually, the Mirage IIIC should concentrate on CAP and intercept missions after 1975. Same for the EE Lightning for instance
  7. You can change is the loadout section or the loadout.ini
  8. The supersonic 500 lt drop tanks of Mirage III cannot be jettisonned, this is historical
  9. Desert Storm - Mission 09 - Highway of Death

    Great account, how did you generate the mission ?
  10. The German flew the Fouga Magister, the Breguet Atlantic and the Noratlas from memory
  11. Desert Storm - Mission 08 - Mirages

    Hello Is this image : Is this the result of a "photorecon mode" ?
  12. Desert Storm - Mission 08 - Mirages

    Great account ! Will you try French Jag ?
  13. Right Gepard, most important advice : fly straight during the launch.
  14. For early Atoll, 6 O'clock, 1,5 to 2 km seems to give the best results (around 50% chances of scoring), if the target start maneuvering, give up and look for another target. Obviously, it is not always possible to find yourself in such a situation, so the kill rate is actually 10-20 %
  15. You must limit the use of A/B because of IR missiles and because of your short legs. I found the PFV safer than the F13 because at least your are not tempted into dogfights, which are not a good idea if you are outnumbered. The Mig21 turn radius is a good escape against the F8, F4 .. Against earlier aircraft, think of your max speed.
  16. I am flying a VPAF campaign in Mig-21 PFV (no gun). I usually fly low to avoid being locked by F4 or others. As soon as I am below a potential target, I vertically climb (full AB, then Mil), and try to be in the 6 Oclock of my target. At same altitude or just lower, I try to find an optimal solution during say 30 seconds, and fire my missiles if I am in range, then I go down, back to base, Mil power. I score a kill once every.5-6 missions.
  17. I think the most CA people want beer marking !
  18. Then there is this idiot.....

    In France, carelessness in the manipulation of weapons kill more people than their intentionnal use.
  19. Then there is this idiot.....

    Actually, it is a more for safety purpose as in France at least, the number of people wounded when they transport an unprotected knife of cutting object is much higher than the number of people wounded in a fight. I have practiced fencing for more than 20 years and all the wounds heavier than a little blood on the nose or finger I saw were due to improper or stupid manipulation of the weapons, never during a "fight". Still, the police have a legal motivation (especially because actually the law saying something like "proper safe packaging" is a little vague) to confiscate them in case of risk of streetfight or similar situation and as such it is very usefull. There is basically 1/3 chance that this law would have avoided such drama.
