How Low Do You Go?
macelena replied to Lt. James Cater's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
10% of the force is too much. If it could have been avoided(i don´t blame AMI, RAF had the same percentage, IIRC), it should already had been in doctrine. Another example could have been the Mirage 2000N lost in Bihac (IIRC the town). After ours of SEAD by usn, usmc and spanish hornets, they flew low enough to get the threat wich can´t be sweeped by SEAD: Sa-7. I don´t know if it was a limitation due to the weather in wich the operation runned, if the N version had to get that low to deliver accurately the weapons. Flying low is BAD. But also too malish -

That´s true. Also Mirage F-1 pilots used to fly under highway bridges, wich explains their brutal attrition, including a recent incident. Jags were meant to do the same, but i´m not sure why, they ended up doing not. About tornados, i heard about some exercises in wich a flight of GR1A, trying to hit a dam in rough terrain, were decimated until the mission was aborted, by a Mistral SAM battery. It seems from ODS, but it happened in 1988. If NATO learnt of his experiences, the casualties by tornado units from RAF and AMI in Desert Storm would have been so high. So stop moving mud and just try to make it on and back -
They got his legs, but he kept his balls Here at the forum, muesli is also going back after being WIA, i myself could once meet a Marine who lets a foot to a AP mine in Bosnia, 1995, and he is still teaching in the Marine School. Or another paratrooper,a sargent whose vehicle was struck by IED, was burnt and lost one of his men, afghanistan 2006, and he is back to work with his new face. For these people, it is to hard to recover, but they keep struggling just as in the battlefield. The least they can earn is our respect, and gratitude. Our help will be OK, but we should take care not to offence by acting like they were useless or unable to get rolling by themselves

Well, i understand that bay doors aren´t airbrakes, but i was concerned about their behaviour while operating at supersonic speeds. I didn´t think that it could cause trouble under Mach. But hearing you advice, i´m more confident now about how would the Dart have performed in a real conflict. What got me concerned now is the point of C5 at the limitations of the pneumatic aperture, wich could have been solved with all the modifications at the 70s along with the Gunpod and the new canopy.ç Thanks all for the help

I was reading an article on convair delta series, wich stated that "the new F-106 was able to perform interceptions in all weather, up to 60,000 ft and Mach 2" Was the Dart able to open the internal bay and release the weapons up to Mach 2? I find it quite hard, and i don´t know how could, in example, a Tu-22 be intercepted at supersonic with a door opened in the belly of the fighter

Yesterday, 8AM, Bus Station, 50 KM / 30 miles from home. Spent all night deployed on Disco Alley. Drunk, deaf, missed the best chance to get laid ever (she gets next to you, asks, and you say "sorry what?" three times, until she leaves and you learn what she meant) after the joking by my fellas, i get to hear a female friend telling me how she missed some simmilar, but more romantic chance. Then when i make it home, i can´t sleep cause i hear some noise, like Betty and IR growl combined, so I get to the forum and see the thread "so you had a bad day" (another one) and i think WTF? i´m still able to miss chances, i mean i was partying EDIT: video link no longer available

Ante tanta duda, hay algo que se encuentra en muchos aviones americanos y que puede arreglar tu problema de forma mucho más sencilla: M61A1

"War on the Strait"
macelena replied to macelena's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
@Wrench, is this trouble related to this Terrain characteristics, for its size or something wich couldn´t be solved, or do you think that´s just momentarely? @Gepard, would you mind to try and help with this? I can´t understand a bit of the Terrain related slang. This trouble IIRC already appeared in some other Terrains, but i don´t know if it can be solved -
"War on the Strait"
macelena replied to macelena's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
@ojcar: I´ll try on the original Strike Fighters. It´s not the first time this has been suggested and it´s rather do-able @Ultramax: Those screenies seem to fit in some aspects. If it is going into a new Mod, i think that we should get an Ad Hoc terrain, but i made some trials on Norway, Lybia, etc. The one wich fits better by the look to southern Spain are the fields in Desert Terrain, with mountains forested like Norway @ Wrench: If i weren´t a boy... That´s precious Thanks a lot. Don´t forget to get my home in. About airbases, Portuguese boys say that they wan´t to appear, please remember Lajes and Monte Real AFBs. Didn´t you have the same trouble with the water of a fictional scenery? -
"War on the Strait"
macelena replied to macelena's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Well, the aircraft in wich i thought for Arabs is Su-30MKA, in service with Algerian Air Force, but as we speak about a new country, J-10s vs. EF2000 would be awesome Btw, i made a few missions in wich Sicily was under siege, and F-4C (SPA), F-104S(ITA), and Mirage F-1 (FRA) defended it. It could be interesting as an air defence Campaign, but there should be some CAS missions around a ground battle at , i.e. Ceuta and Melilla, -

F-100 vs MiG-17 strategy
macelena replied to KingLear's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I make it at the World Wars way... dive, shoot guns calculating effects, and avoid the debris while cilmbing again before attacking the next one -
I´m not sure about what you mean some times: -Algerian planes were 2nd handed, or are now serving on Russia after the reject by Algerians? -Is MiG then going to merge, stay independent or just become a division of UAC? -About the relationship between the State and MiG, I don´t know much about politics in Russia, how did Putin arrival affect MiG?

Blowing ships with guns
macelena replied to Emp_Palpatine's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Once i tunned up my F-5 and changed my M39 20mm guns for Mk.45 USN 127 mm guns. It was semiautomatic, and served as an airbrake, but believe, it works -
I don´t know bout it, but Algerian cancellation of the contract could be also motivated by economical means. The fault of quality would mean that they didn´t have to pay any compensation, as the breakup is not "their fault" IMHO, if the purchase of the Su-33 instead of the Sea Fulcrum was a decision influenced by Sukhoi´s lead Misha Simonov, the adcquisition of a multirole fighter for the navy was expectable, boosted by the post-georgian modernization plans and India´s bet on them for their naval aviation
