I hope you had it the best way circumstances could, stay strong!

You could also use the Mission Editor to add ground objects like tanks, APCs, SPAAGs, mobile SAMs and everything, but if too overloaded, you might have trouble with FPS

Sorry to know Dave, don´t spare hugs on Sheila and the girls, let´s hope at least he gets a good death

Half way into it, it is done

That damn squirrel had to loose his nut in the middle of the runway...

I think SF2 fits Dave's concept of coin. Get a few units to show up on radar, drop a nuke from 40k feet, move to next target area

It is a nice addition, but maybe mostly for eye candy. Alkali missiles are most often just rockets, and everytime i tried to get them to work i made only one out of the four to home on, after wich any aircraft just pitches away a little bit, beating the guidance. I put them on the ME to intercept me more times than i remember, and only once did they get me, once i almost stalled a F-105D after getting too shaky with the stick. I bet i´m the only guy here with the dubious honor of having been shot down by a Su-9 in the sim. Now that i think about it i will try to fly just straight to see how the parameters work, because right now, i guess there must be something i´m doing wrong.

Are they planning on getting some DF-21s and use that for target practice?

I think this particular sim is slightly unappropiate for COIN missions, while with the proper modding it may be quite cool, the way the CAS missions are set up is not specially close to the level of, in example, air superiority combat. The way ground objects work, in particular infantry squads acting as tanks, and the lack of communications or FAC calling fire missions, the way the own missions are meant to be scripted an so on. Probably, i would like a multiplayer shoot'em up in the way it portrays the way the air units operate with the ground forces for that matter. Loved my old Battlefield Vietnam, but on the other hand, they wouldn´t be as close to the realism of a flight sim. If there was something like DCS made specifically for Vietnam, it would be the best possible solution.

I think those guys were customarily greeted with a salvo of photon torpedoes when the cloaks of their birds of prey went down before an attack

That´s not the kind of plane you drop overboard when you don´t have space to spare, is it?

Last night, an Spanish Air Force SAR Super Puma Helicopter went down over sea during an exercise after a catastrophic electrical malfunction while rehearsing a recovery. The crew of 5 were veterans, having deployed together in Afghanistan as part of HELISAF, an Spanish Air Force detachment for MEDEVAC and CSAR. One of the pararescuemen was hanging from the hoist when the lights went off and the bird went down, and survived by releasing the cable, falling to the sea apart from the crash. Once recovered, he took part in the search of his crewmates the following 24 hours, when the helicopter wreckage was located and the crew pronounced dead. All those at risk of being lost in the sea can be glad they have men like these looking after them

If i had a brother KIA and those nutters appeared at his funeral, i would be doing life in prison or waiting to ride the lightning

Because fuck ice, that´s why

US KIAs in War on Terror?

Been doing some of that, like a Linebacker 3, but i would like to change it so it represents the communist offensive on its way to Saigon, and features no US aviation in the South, perhaps just navy and some Sqns in Thailand, at the very least B-52s. Combining the wide and dense AD network of Vietnam with the tech from the Yom Kippur War (basically, SA-6s, and to a much lesser extent, Shilkas) make for quite a cool offensive campaign, but so far, i just keep playing single missions with the improved USN aircraft available (A-7E_74, A-4F_74, F-4N, F-14A...) and some different scenarios, like CAS deep in the south or BARCAPs over convoys

By 2005, there were 4 Harriers remaining in the DA version, but weren´t part of UNAEMBs (UNidad Aérea EMBarcada, Embarked Aerial Unit) in the R-11. However, they were last deployed to fill decks with the LHD, when the 9th Escadrille had to provide harriers for 2 carrier UNAEMBs. Since the "Principe de Asturias" was decommisioned early to accomodate an smaller budget, they were stored and used for spares. Don´t know about what will be done when the next LHD is in service

I´ve made a weird discovery playing with mirages and using Matra R.530s in SEA, as i didn´t use them (Matra missiles) that much in other scenarios; the 3O misses almost always, most often it goes ballistic right after launch, and when it manages to lock on something, it ends up going dumb when about to hit. However, with the 3C Z/J variants, it is much more effective, even if i am much more careful with parameters with the 3O than with the Cs.

Loved that film. Aviation porn. Only for fans. No one else could take on the story, they wanted a Top Gun a la française, and like hell they got it.
