little side note on the F-14/F-15 flyoff: the Tomcat team cheated the F-15 went first. while they were doing their demo the Tomcat team burnt off fuel at high engine settings so that when they took off they only had enough in the tanks for the demonstration plus about 300 lbs. it made them several tons lighter than the F-15 and made them seem much more sporty than the Eagle the Eagle was more mature and the better technical pick for their need. but the Tomcat/Phoenix potential, mixed with some superior showmanship, won the day

true, but a first rule of alt history is to make the initial change as minor as possible in this case, i would've had the Eagle selected over the Tomcat rather than both serve together also the C/Ds wouldve been coming online right about the time of the revolution and probably wouldnt have been delivered. but one could go around that saying the FAST packs were originally developed for the IIAF, then later carried over to the USAF C models and say that some of those were delivered again, its great skin work and i know im counting ficitous rivets.

wickedly awesome. the historian /alt history purist in me has a few nitpicks on the story but the skins are great

gassin up over the Adriatic

just another day over Bosnia. although why the Reservists brought the tanker sightseeing is a mystery...

well thats one way to confirm or deny heres another

Barksdale tankers are way down the road, probably not this year heres a BUFF to tide you over

well, i thought there was one at DAT but seems not. at least not that i could find in a 5 min search mandatory screenie, plus a Jimi Hendrix song

did i ever tell you the story of the little tugboat that could?

California Dreamin.... I'll get to The Other Woman tomorrow...

looks good, and i figured it was only a matter of time until we had a Dhimari Duck is this a DAT bird?

did they paint those the deep blue? if so would that make it a ..... dark wing Duck?

well i can dig that although... some of those folks just dont want to be liberated. and tend to shoot back. so you gots to keep some agility about you. cause 9.5G limit drops down to 2 or 3 when your lugging enough explosives to drop the Hoover Dam they didnt want to get liberated. didnt leave a plane on the ground. sent them all to blow up in the air thays the way they wants it thats the way they gets it and i dont like it any more than you do ok

i havent checked the A or R but yes, the E goes into a deep stall if it manuevers too agressively and AI just doesnt recover. player flying i have to drop flaps to landing and firewall it to hope to recover. and yes, this photo was about 300 ft to impact. three three shots at having her as a wingman to a Viper. given the mentioned problems it didnt work well so i said fu..... it and snapped that shot.

^ you and your propensity for hanging the biggest missile possible.... with snow on the ground lets hope he doesnt have to bring it back see this? modified Deny Flight CAP loadout (Snakes instead of regular MK82s)

done with the Guard, on to teh Reserves btw whos good with FMs?

just another deny flight sortie, checking ABs

excuse me sir, but only three clowns ejected from that, clearly identifying it as a Douglas A3D not a Prowler (if you dont get teh joke, just wait on other Kevin to chime in) mandatory screenie, or just another pretty pic over Italy

what if i told you SFMC was SF3? at least as far as anyone here in this reality will experience it. unless...

what he said is the most likely reason. i get it often if i fly a mission outside the time limits of the few enemy planes in my test install

as a shot in the dark, you could try the YAP-RW, Strike Fighters 2 and Air Combat Patrol groups. theres alot of the CA community hanging out between the three, so might be there or someone might be in touch

(must not ask for convoys of civilian cars, must not ask for of civilian cars)

cant hear it are we beating the right horse? the graphics are off pretty sure were supposed to be beating a Clydesdale, not a retired Lippenzzaner (just teasin ya bro. thanks to ODS you probably have the closest to TKs experience of the modders)

well who's to say how European aircraft developemnt would go in such a scenario? The engineers and designers of the Mirages would be working for Messerschmitt rather than Dassault. Take some time to change the names of various weapons and aircraft and boom, Wunderwaffe 1961. Works for traditional aircraft reimagined (Spinners is a master at doing that) or the what if's
