The Double D's
Slartibartfast replied to hgbn's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well after a few days off recovering from my last escapde back into the seat again.... Well Fg Off Graham is still in the fight... after a unreasonable short stay in the hospital, turns out the shoulder wasn't too bad after all, I was kicked out and sent back to the Squadron drat just when the nurses where coming round to my way of thinking ho hum... Well here it goes 3 sorties today and all of them where a handful... First up was a CAP mission as to what happened I am still working that out. Got to the cap area okay and then the Mig's showed up and they where swingers as well Mig-23's mixed it with those for a short time but they all fell from the sky unfortunately the CAP area had a small problem ie... 2 SA-10 sites which knocked 2 wingmen down. One crew banged out but the others didn't get out. Didn't have too much time to think about it as we baled home 4 Mig-23's for the count... Next up was a 2 ship intercept... Nothing to it really up and back in 30 minutes 2 Mig-27's scratched on the scoreboard... Sortie 3 4 Ship Cap again... This time the capping was in what we thought was a relatively quiet area yeah as if thats going to happen... Capped the base and between us we took out 4 Mig-21's and then all hell broke loose 3 & 4 went off chasing some Mig-23's (Where are they all coming from) while my Wingman shouts out Flankers... crank the jet round and takes the first one out with a Skyflash surprised I was I only fired it to get him to plug his burners in for a winder shot anyway turns out the guy was a certified ACE Major Kumsonlov or something like that as we where advised by the elint boys... his wingie died shortly afterwards but he put up a fight... but a winder finished him off... and it was gather the lads up who had managed to bag a pair of 23's and home for tea and crumpets... Screenie for the interested... Looks like I am the killer of the squadron... -
SA-13 The SAM thats a Recon's best friend...
Slartibartfast posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Okay just did a quick flight in the RF-4C in SF2 Europe Nato Fighters 4+ I was the only Blue air mooching about as I was approaching the IP I had a wonderful sight of 4 Mig-23's coming to have a quiet chat with me to tell me this was their turf... Anyway tanks off down low and fast as in 20ft low scream over the target and the 2 SA-13's batteries cleared my way for me they unleashed all 8 of their lovely missiles and swatted 4 Mig-23's of my tail... laugh I almost crashed... and I forgot to take the screenshot... Now normally me and Mr SA-13 have a gentlemans agreement I dont bother them and they dont bother me but today I will provide them as many targets as I can all with red stars on of course... Its a hard life flying Recce without the Mig's trying to kill you... You know I have been playing this game since its first UK release SF1 and there are still some surprises left but this is most likely due to the wonderful work done on the NF4+ mod... -

Greetings to the old looney bin...

As to the cock ups as you so quaintly put it yeah they do make me laugh... Also I wouldn't want them to be overly realistic in the Topgun Iron Eagle etc way as it would take some amusement out of it... The best errors is that in Topgun is the fight at the end when it seems every missile fired comes from the port Sparrow rail I think... but hey its been awhile since I watched it...

No matter what it is still bribing... and once you do it once they will expect it everytime... and other states regimes will go down that road.
