  2. Nice, just nice. I'd vote that for end of the year award
  3. You have to open the Weapon Editor, then save. Don't know why but that's how you get them, as you can see in the sig image.
  4. Bleagh, I bring him along for SEAD, CAS, and that's about it. The rest I can do myself. Danger Bering Straits where I do bring him for ANY mission, but then again he's good as a A2A platform, and not good since he can't use AMRAAMs (yeah I know, gonna have re-install WingWiner's AIM-120C, it's a beautious missile model). Hell before I hit the "Wall" in AmericaNW, I went low and fast, was being chased (I think) by MIG-23s. I managed to plaster two into the ground, and I hit a real bad part of the Wall and got myself. It was nice, a "five wet" A Hornet being chased by four Migs... yeah I went Winchester at the recon objective (had to get them off my back, so I feel you column5.... ) but man I had to move out of that place!
  5. Shoot it feels good to splash anything that's trying to shoot you down . One addendum though Lt. Carter. Fly DBS and you need to carry AAMs. That's the only map where AAMs balance out A2G ordnance. There's just no other way to get past that one though, and I don't try and dogfight it out, and quite honestly where I get most of my A2A kills anyways. And that's just doing Strike, Reconnaissance, or CAS missions. That I think is where the argument can be changed though...
  6. Agreed man, everybody thinks the "life" is flying around looking for planes to shoot down. Fact is right, if you're loaded for bear and about to drop alot of ordnance, the last thing you need is Blue/Red Air. I dodge the jokers like crazy. I managed to slip past four MIG-31s (thankfully I didn't add the AA-9s until afterwards), but everybody envisions a nasty dogfight when dropping ordnance. Not me bro, I drop and split. Which often times I carry one self defense AAM, ONE. Therefore I'm not in the mood to slug it out, and AMRAAMs in mountainous terrain just don't worky. So I slip in, drop and jet out of there. Okay if I reattack for a bad drop, natch, but after I get a mission successful I'm boogie nights my friend
  7. And on that note... is it me or just the Air Force A-7s had Mavericks? And not the Navy ones?
  8. SLUF. Dogfighting ability goes out the window when you're low and fast in a valley anyways. The Scooter just doesn't do it for me because you can't load the scooter up without sacrificing self defense AAMs. With the SLUF, I can load up ordinance to level a city, and still have something to defend myself with. Besides, if you do it right, you can sneak by most defenses if you terrain mask. I routinely fly (not the SLUF, never thought of it yet) in ANW, BlackSea and always snuck past or evaded SAM/AAA defenses. Sure okay, I've gotten sawed in an F-35 by AAA, but that's not very often So I would go with skill and knowing how to push the aircraft. And as far as the woman issue goes... the jury's out on that one, damned if you do, damned if you don't.
  9. Maybe too close for letting this go, but wasn't going to hang around either..
  10. http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/row/sa-13.htm But I agree with zmatt, the onboard ECM on Erwin_Hans's F/A-18F seems to work when properly done right. But burn through does happen on occasion and always doesn't work. However, I too have noticed how AAA tends to fire at me alot more in the F-35 than in most other aircraft. And the only thing to do about the fuel issue is to bring tanks. I carry two at the minimum. For the Black Sea terrain I bring five for long distance runs. Still need to get that refueller mod though.
  11. Yep, that answered a question... gonna have to wait and see how this develops. May switch over, but not yet..
  12. I'm really not sure if Steamer visits this place anymore, due to the lack of MP with the Third Wire series of sims, so I'm going to just close this topic. However, he does AFAIK work with the VNAO team, http://www.carrierpilots.com
  13. I definitely had to approve this one, great work man
  14. Well if the skinning process doesn't take forever, then it could be less than two weeks.
  15. I know man, like handing the keys to a Lamborghini and no car...
  16. I think the lack of replies... is that we're just as baffled as you are man. Like to help... but honestly don't know how.
  17. The difference is that... LOMAC is more finely tuned as a whole. So the fedelity is more finer. Not to say the modders (Mirage Factory especially) are half-assed, but LOMAC just is better. But then again it's not modder friendly so I don't play it anymore. After years of flying the Su-33 it was time to move on. So I've been Russian'd out and fly US/Western aircraft, and WOI as a whole, lets me pick and choose.
  18. ANOTHER CHRISTMAS ANOTHER DISSAPOINTMENT :(

    There things you just don't inquire any further about...
