It's fun to fly no doubt, but it's definitey a beast. Last night I did an anti-shipping run near Beirut, and on the way back took a hit from either a SAM, or an AA-2 Atoll, and managed to neutralize the MIG-21 that was chasing me anyways. So I'm making my approach, and go to extend the airbrake..... not slowing down... extend go outside view and hit it in annoyance but landed safely. Bird's so good that I sent a message to USAFMTL "Hey man I don't think the brake works" Run a CAS mission earlier today and everything works... yeah..

Pretty realistic. However I remember reading one time that a true F-15 pilot laughed at it. Thing is, all the data they have is only open knowledge, and so on and so forth. Personally I have no fault of the sim (well okay, it's not as moddable as other games that's fo sho), so after spending years with it, sure it's not the greatest, but it's something, and prefer it still over most flight simulations. It's more high fedelity, than say the SF series. I like the SF series and it's improving, but so far it's preferable since I can fly alot of planes I'll never fly in LOMAC.

Definitely so far the best for WoI, love this bird!

He does a great job, but sometimes saying "Front, Back, and Go" does wonders for him But in all seriousness thanks USAFMTL, time to go flying.......

Hey don't you mean "ex-interceptor", I mean how much sex did it intercept?

Not only that, but you would probably AFAIK need AESA to target the ground targets as well. Warhead? You can get by with an EFP (Explosively Formed Penetrator) warhead, where it adapts itself to the target type (aircraft, tank, bicycle) in the terminal phase. Alliant Techsystems has alot of experience with that so more than likely they'll be part of the contract down the road. Least I'd use them....

Well it's odd though, the French sent some down to Afghanistan awhile ago (forgot the time period) and Sweden is talking about the same thing supposedly, maybe to get their aircraft some combat use.

No airman, you finish the Mud Hen first, then if you hurry up, you can maybe eat, roger? :smile:

The F-15I for WoI is what you're going to get. The Ra'am is Israel's Mud Hen.

Plus it sounds cool. By description I'm a "Joint Forward Observer", but that means I can work with Marine ANGLICO or USAF JTAC teams, i.e. I know what they can do, and they know what I can do. And it's a cool snazzy word that means after all these years of each service doing what they want, they actually work together. But back on topic, I bet Raytheon doesn't like the deal. And another thing... well yeah if AESA works out then it could be done, but seriously, you need AAMs and you need AGMs. Missiles can in some instances be multi-role, but seriously, if you are in a target rich environment, and go Winchester, and you gotta make it home, and you're deep in enemy territory...

Let's keep "Voodoo economics" out of this. Not that I disagree with you, but this isn't the place for PoliScience..

Yeah, even if EADS pulls something out, how they going to sell it? The Marines are crazy over it, so having them buy something that will replace the JSF is near verboten, so no, the US military is sold on JSF.

That is true though.... maybe it's just wingnut mismanagement that I don't employ them properly. Then again I think I should take off the AMRAAMs and let them stay with the stock weapons, then maybe he won't go to guns all the time....

I just don't take a wingnut man, that's been my rule of thumb. The few CAP missions I've played I haven't been too impressed. Besides it's another worry that I don't need, especially in the weeds....

To that I agree, the Super Hornet is a nice plane, but not the End All, Be All aircraft in the world.

I agree bro, column5 really did answer the question. Only in the future we can hope that TK will make the AI "smarter"

Ahh duh.. a bit too early in the morning...

Nice!

Yep, it's a new concept for NVGs, so when you drop or fire an IR Illumination round, there will be a slight glow, but makes NVG use much better...

Been having a blast with the Sufa (or blasting things) and was wondering if there are any floating around?

Well that's a good point, but given the way the site is setup, sometimes it's a good point to let people know that it won't work for WoI, hence the notification that it's not compatible.

True... was a great book, still is a classic.. Problem is the campaign idea... possible?

Actually I try not to admit ever playing ATF, but I did..... and don't look upon it as fun times..... was okay due to the variety... but that's about it. Then again, The SF series would benefit from an in-game mission builder rather than a seperate utility. While the utility is pretty cool, it's better incorporated into the sim, along with an Encylopedia too But back on my topic, slight update from AmokFloo, seems the doors aren't sized right, as he found out when mucking with the gear area... more to follow..

It's an okay thing to post things WIP in the Screenshot thread, as it's a place to advertise as well
