Next you will be doing TWA F-15's or F-4's or something... leading to a fight of Airlines

Air Force Vs Marines... 1v1 My Ride for the night A-4M 2 Aim-9H 2 drop tanks The opponent... 1 x F-4E(78) 3 Aim-7 Sparrow 4 Aim-9J Terrain Anatolia Okay on the table today was placed an F-4E to be taken down and he had all the cards as my loadout was simulating a Recon run where he was Air to Air all the way... Take off was easy as said than done... and headed towards the play area. No SAM's up for this one when we went to play over the water-ish... Anyway he got to bounce me and popped a Sparrow at me which I out manouvered even the the tanks on as I reefed into a max G Turn...punching the tanks as I went he then popped a Sidewinder at me and squirted the gun at me all missing. I continued my turn as he overshot me and I got tone for the winder held it for 2 seconds and fired, his flares saved his rhino hide... I stayed in his six say about 2 miles back as he had gone over the top of me at around the speed of heat... I ducked the nose to gain some speed and popped my second winder at him same result flares everywhere and a clean miss. Now it was down to if I could catch him which normally I wouldn't be able to but he was jinking and juking like a good un... I steadly closed him down chasing that dark dark smoke and got a gun solution on him and hosed him from about 400 yards taking his tail clean off... and thats all the fat lady wrote... My Ride Come back here... I said come back here and die like an Aviator... Wuss ooorar to the marines... Take away nothing much he overshot and then ran...

To quote fallout War never Changes maybe it should be Man Never changes...

Makes me smile... but hey I am ex-RAF as well and I have a penchant for flying A-4 Scooters... go figure... And on that note tonight when I get home I will be having an A-4 Fest Random Dogfighting against anything that comes my way with an Echo... could get interesting...

They tested it back in the 70's to see if it was a feasible idea as the Israel Air Force had more faith in the 30mm Defa I think it was test flown and worked well but they stuck to the M61A1 that the jets came with and as they bought more US equipment it made more sense...

Must admit at present besides testing for SF2 I haven't really got back into the swing... not even the FPS I love like the STALKER games with mods of course... sometimes you just need a break so just relax and it will all come back to you... most likely before you go on holiday...

I see your crystal ball isn't cloudy was going to go and do some Scootering this evening and see what I could pick on...

When I get a spare 10 minutes this year I am going to have to learn how to do this skinning business... I appreciate all who skin and make the models for us...

Yes I was watching it tonight... and this song no matter what makes me laugh...

Aaaahhh quit your moaning and say yes you know you want to...

Can we have the 2 seater please pretty please with a cherry on top ??? Thank you...

Just for fun I will sign as I see it as my Strutters bigger meaner brother... And Widow I may take up the mantle to allow you to settle your nerves old chap...

And that I agree with you there's just something right about it... maybe its the lack of all the tech etc... and you have to do it all yourself... but it sure is a beaut... here's to Scooters

Must admit I have played around but not with the F-4 mine was primarily the F-16 not so many rails... It's great fun if you can loadup with a whole mess of weapons... instead of just routine. I generally leave the winder rails alone though as its pointless to load anything but Sidewinders or Amraam depending on the jet on them... Looking at messing around with the Hornet next as I have seen some strange loadouts for them lately...

http://www.selfcontrolfreak.com/slaan.html I tried and failed... good luck

Yes they are Gnats...

Try Nato IV with a Tornado... they are very quick on the deck only 2 issues are its lack of fuel and the fact that by the time it started to fly you start coming up against Mig-29's and Su-27's and double digit SAM's...

No Bacon we're all out of Bacon... not saying anything about the gas or the birds...

Woot the proper Firefox... So Mr Gant...

Riding round Anatolia in a bad girl...

Will go with you mate the thing looks a lot better than the Raptor... saying that it wouldn't be hard

Quick question I know but are you going to roll out a Turkish and Greek skin with it... as I am having ideas with the Anatolia Terrain... for a campaign, be interesting to F-16 to F-16...

No I am running Jan 2011 I generally don't run the latest patches... call me a cynic. Was just wanting to set the great Anatolia terrain up that you guys built... with a lot of modifications, with only Aircraft specific to Turkey and Greece... might plan a what if campaign and see how it handles but I really need some F-16C's for that one... got everything else practically...

okay now I am feeling stupid... need more coffee...
