  1. Bravo old chap... lovely machine... well she will be when she's finished keep us all up to date on her. As to the rest of you guys stop knocking him... I have a Triumph motorcycle... problem I have with her being the new generation is she doesn't leak oil or as is said mark her territory with oil... miss the constant oil change.
  2. Me I wore them for both my stints in the UK military as daily headwear and they aint too great either... but never when out in the field working always a floppy hat much more useful...
  3. Laugh I nearly fell of my chair... nice to see a policeman with a great sense of humour...
  4. Good luck...
  5. Have a good time and if the weather is anything like here in Austria you are looking at gorgeous grey skies and thunderstorms be like being back in the mud... Seriously we are having great weather averaging 25C since April... and skies so blue...
  6. Okay with the Paveway do you have a laser designator attached to the aircraft like the TIALD ? as this is required for targets other than the primary target on a Strike mission.
  7. I know the Bucc could fly far but thats taking the niss a bit... As to the RN/RAF Harrier DONT get me started... Stupid to scrap the low hour FA-2's and then the GR-7/9's the one jet that the UK military need in the Stan and for close air as the Tornado is not up to it...
  8. Oh man... can I pre-order ??? Looks wonderful...
  9. Outstanding shot...
  10. It's a great read must have read it about 10 times...
  11. Not really I used their speed against them with my last hope of all last hope move... Dive inverted for the deck and pull out just before splashing... the F-22's usually lawn darted... okay sort of sneaky as if they normally made it out I was already rolling in for a face shot or a strafing shot from above... Anyway back to the real thing... yes the F-22 is nice but I think it is too much its the golden bullet at what point do you send it in ??? The Eurofighter is viable against all threats at present flying... well it is when all the software is finally sorted...
  12. Yes you can you need to edit the aircrafts data_ini find the weapons area and go to work... but its best to read the knowledge base here at Combatace its taken nearly 10 years to write so its a damn informative read.
  13. I remember flying online years ago with Janes FA and annoying the F-22 drivers with a Eurofighter... always how the hell did I do that???
  14. Yeah those Hornets on the pointy end might cause a problem... to the poor Bug about to be flung off... not to mention the turkeys... Otherwise great looking...
  15. Do not call me hero, When you see the medals that I wear, Medals maketh not the hero, They just prove that I was there. Do not call me hero, Now that I am old and grey, I left a lad, returned a man, They stole my youth that day. Do not call me hero, When we ran the wall of hail, The blood, the fears, the cries, the tears We left them where they fell. Do not call me hero, Each night I stop and pray, For all the friends I knew and lost, I survived my longest day. Do not call me hero, In the years that pass, For all the real true heroes, Have crosses, lined up on the grass. Rob Aitchison Found this today... spare a thought to all who where there...
  16. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13673567 Good luck to all out there.
  17. My AI generally go with what I have... or if I want to shake and bake my wingman goes clusters and I go with the heavy stuff... also depends on the scenario... last time I went as an 8 ship was as follows (NATO IV+) F-4E's Me 3 Sparrow 6 bombs centreline and 2 Shrike Wingman 3 Sparrow 16 Bombs Centreline Wing 1 loaded for Sead Sparrows Shrikes and Mavericks with Centreline Tanks Flight 2 all Air to Air Sparrows and Winders... Thankfully I loaded that way as we had no support at all... and we had hassle with a quite a few Mig-23's and some SA-6's and SA-2's. Learnt the hard way when you get 8 Jets you go mix on the loadouts.

  20. Nice mod... as that map sometimes gets a lot confusing...
  21. Same here have 3 or 4 other expats coming over to watch it... all ex-military types...
  22. Happy Birthday frood...
  23. All courtesy of the Farnborough Airshow... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7512732.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7510364.stm The F-22 does have good nose pointing ability... and I found that the Eurofighter display was very boring...
  24. Tried again against the Su-27 with an F-4G!!! No gun no winders just 2 Sparrows sat in the back now thats a tough fight... but to make people happy it seems as though the planform for the Flanker hides the chaff he pops out so always do a look up shoot and you should nail him most of the time... it works for me about 80% of the time... and thats with a 7F... And your right anyway you look at the F-4 it just doesn't have the get up and go to go toe to toe with a Flanker...
