Stick

well if you need another one my humble services are also available.

Beg to differ. Comes in handy when ur being hassled by Flankers or for that matter any enemy plane hustling you when on CAS. Ive had one kill; yes SU-27 that was lining up on my wingman. Ill try for a screenie.

I love the Baz;here against a Sukhoi in a low speed knife-fight where either of us is trying to bring our guns to bear. My wingman seeing I was in a spot and out of energy, ended it before anything bad transpired. And there was another one against these 29s hassling a Hercules. Again wingman to the rescue.

Yom Kippur.

Cinema just got poorer

try this when the mission starts and ur airborne; alt+N. Study the controls. change them to ur preferences.

Nope on WOE; thats actually the theatre it should be in. But I got the advanced AI thanks to Christian59 and Warlord ATF;tweaked it a little more so that now every time I shoot or sneak up on them they will take evasive action no matter whether they are rookie or ace. And sometimes I learn from the wingman now. Here shooting an ASRAAM over the Black forest. And then flaming Ivan going down with the sunset.

Messing with the Flankers.

I swear-the more i read that I almost take offence; coz no sim has held my interest the way this one has. But everyone to his own poison.

Its a killer game.it will grow on you. Our Sea Harriers are also available to download either here or otherwise definitely at column5. There are MiGs Sukhoi's Raptors Blackwidows-the whole bevy baby! And look for the post for the advanced AI it will knock your socks off if you're unimpressed.(hmm... are you're settings on hard? coz thats the only way its meant to be played.)

I took her through her paces. Over the alps and against a posse of Fulcrums. Beat the s**t out of them even though we were outnumbered 4-16. I was even honoured by the queen for my valour. I tried the cobra. She'll do it without a murmur of protest. Hats off sah!!!

hot goddamn!!!!

My friend the biggest mistake anybody can make is to believe Russian propaganda. Thats how they've worked for the last hundred years and the only way they know how to work. I will concede that the equipment they export must be of markedly inferior quality( though the Sukhoi's we procured for training were the one's they flew themselves-they were ex-russian airforce; and that is why I considered it pertinent to mention the same.) No doubt they come out with aerodynamic marvels but that is where the buck stops. Their fire control is awful. Our MiG-29 pilots have specific tactics to defeat Pakistani F-16's, we will not go head to head unless forced to, and will use IR guided weapons as the first weapon to commence engagement. And we also fly in greater numbers. The point is their airforce is running on modifications and embellishments to equipment that was last developed at the end of the cold war. Their economy cant sustain full scale technological research and development. Why do you think we Indians are now warming up up to the Americans??? And why have the Isreali's been our discreet friends in all things martial for the last twenty years? Coz russian equipment is unreliable. Period.

With the R77 i agree but our airforce for one has abandoned the AA-10 Alamo. We are looking to integrate French missiles on our Russian aircraft. The fact is Russian missiles are so darn heavy. I mean some of their missiles weigh more than the Phoenix. And have quarter the range. And half of all their claims are boasts. If you saw the first batch of Flankers that came into India, close up, you would also agree that NATO or for that matter Western estimates of Russian aircraft and weapons are not so completely unfounded. I'll also agree with you that the Iraqi's didn't know how to handle Russian equipment but what about the Yugoslavians? Or even us for that matter. We carried through the Kargil War with our Mirages. Not our Floggers or Fishbeds;let alone whatever missiles or ground attack weaponry they were using

Russian missiles are for a fact notoriously innaccurate. Compare the weight of a russian missile to a western counterpart.You will find its as much as twice or even four times as heavy. I dont think that translates into great performance. The R-73 and 77 are the new breed and have improved reliablity and accuracy. But dont use the same tactics as you you would with an AMRAAM or Sidewinder.

I think I love the Tomcat so much coz they flew something that looked like it against Cobra. I was an impressionable kid back then. Weren't we all in those days of innocence? Oh yeah; My favourite guy was Snake-Eyes.

Get the I.P address of the person who is hosting and fly I guess. Wanna do it now? Ah well

The only consolation is the number of suckers who'll be falling for it after we have.

Sorted.Then I guess Ill make that an F-15B or D version.

If I get really rich, i swear Im going to buy myself a decommisioned disarmed F-15A.

After running a successful intercept we turned our attention to the Egyptian F-16A's loitering at high altitude I lost my wingman in the prolonged engagement that stretched out over an hour(my longest ever). At one point I almost gave up and hit the deck with my fuel dangerously low. but then the memory of my wingman bailing out under arab fire came back to me, and indignation bouyed my will to fight to the finish. Dodging through the city, I let the distance build as that mad arab kept up with the rolling attacks; obviously not wanting come down to me.Tracers flew close and I weaved the mighty Eagle through an inspired repertoire of jinks and breaks, many times almost courting the certain disaster of a stall. After all he was trying to kill me. At two miles I reversed onto him full afterburner in a desperate gamble to re-enagage and defeat him. As he floated into my sights, I cut throttle and let off a snap shot. The last thing that devout servant of Allah's must have smelt was the whiff of 20mm because 4 rounds stitched the cockpit. When I got back my wingman was still on the roster. The War continues. We shall persevere. *I played around with the advanced AI and increased the chancecontinue level for veterans and aces to 90.*

Nope my book is in Calcutta. found it online.

I hope this settles it. Check the mach indicator. We are at optimal altitude and i believe she's doing Mach 2.54 or more.

Bring it on baby.When do we fly?

I take as a personal insult to my leadership abilities if everybody doesnt make it back. So my name is mud, pretty much most of the time.
