Just got it today, so far so good!

Of course, I was just referring to fighters though. Those A-10 kills were pretty interesting engagements though, Equally interesting is the one F-15E kill using an LGB! In addition to fighters and A-10's there was an EF-111 that scored a maneuvering kill, and some sources claim an AH-64 scored a kill against another helo although I don't have any real info or knowledge of that story.

I believe some F-16's did fly air to air missions alogside F-15's, but none achieved any aerial kills as mentioned and they only carried AIM-9's compared to the F-15's AIM-7's. The F-16 received the AIM-120 radar guided missile in 1992 and two F-16 pilots shot down Iraqi Migs in '92 and '93 however. The F-15 really had a monopoly over all other fighters, with the F-14 getting only 1 kill, the F-18 only 2, and F-16's none. However don't forget the F-16 flew more sorties than any other aircraft in ODS, and that alone is an outstanding achievement for the Falcon!

And still one of the best in the world!

WOW! The B-1B is my favorite bomber! -
Korean Air War mod issue
warthog64 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I just installed the Korean War campaign by Do335 but can't get it to work. Every time I choose campaign on the main menu screen the game just freezes and then eventually crashes. I've tried three fresh installs now and the same problem persists. Any ideas? -

Article and very scary picture of a fatal crash today. That airport is a very dangerous one especially in winter weather, it said tailwinds were 30 knots! My thoughts go out to the family of the deceased. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/01/05/aspen-plane-crash/4329739/

Is there a British Challenger and Soviet T-90 available for SF2?

In the IR2003 terrain for operation darius the IR_water.bmp works fine, it allows naval fleets to be created and saved in a single mission using the mission editor. However when attempting this using the Korea3 terrain in a Modern Warfare Korea install, every time I try to re-fly a saved mission the fleets that were previously created are always erased and I have to create a totally new mission due to the absence of a target for the player aircraft. I have NavalMap=True in the Korea3.ini and I'm using the the Korea3_water.bmp with the "green naval" areas, yet I'm still having a problem. Yes I'm using SF2NA as the base install for both games. Any ideas? Thanks

Discovery networks doesn't have most of those classic shows available on DVD for some strange reason. I'm thinking clash of wings is no exception.

Are the French Damocles targeting pod, and Areos recon pod available anywhere? I thought I saw a screenshot with a Damocles pod once so I assume it exists as a file but I can't seem to find it. Thanks

French Pods

Thanks a lot! -
I would say a more realistic comparison would be that an F-35 with external combat loads and therefore not that stealthy is equal to the F-16 with no real advantages. Regardless, the flight performance of an F-35 is much better than an F-105 or F-4, that comparison is nuts! The F-35 is more maneuverable, has faster acceleration, has a tighter turning radius, etc. The F-22 is a much better pure fighter than an F-35 though of course. That website seems to have a lot of asinine articles about the capabilities of modern U.S. aircraft. It even claims the 30 year old Su-27 is still the best fighter in the world, so I wouldn't give them much credibility.

Proximity Fuses?
warthog64 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Is there a way to get air to air missiles to detonate when they are near a target? For example if a missile is decoyed is there a way to detonate a missile just as it passes near the aircraft? Thanks -
Sounds pack : explosions, aircraft engines, missiles, guns

Thanks Raven, I guess I hadn't noticed that. -
Destroyable aircraft carriers?
warthog64 replied to ignacioc91's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Yes However the only way to sink a USN Nimitz class carrier is with nuclear weapons. All others can be sunk with conventional bombs, but it will take several to do so. -
Bombers wont launch their missiles
warthog64 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Is there a way to get bombers such as the B-52 and Tu-22M to launch cruise missiles when you're intercepting them? I'll fly a mission to intercept a bomber like the Tu-22M, and if it's loaded with cruise missiles it never launches them! Just wanted a more challenging mission and when bombers end up posing no threat it's a big letdown. Any ideas? Thanks -

Oh well, it's no big deal now. Thanks everyone -
Loved the book, looking forward to the movie!

warthog64 replied to warthog64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Well I got the bombers to fly cruise missile missions but whenever I assign this mission I can't assign the bombers a target in a specific naval group, it just says <none> with no options. Also as lcarus999 said is there a way to allow cruise missile attacks against land targets? I remember in SF2I once I was able to intercept Tu-16's firing AS-5 missiles at land targets which they successfully did, but I haven't seen this in a while. -

I'm using a merged SF2 setup that includes SF2NA. I wasn't aware that "cruise missile" was a mission type I'll set up each bomber with this mission type and see if it works. Thanks
