Hey Viper63a been flying the Strike Eagle pack. Love what you did but as per two of the photos below... You got too many 2,000 pound weapons available on the conformal mounts. Max is four, not six Laser JDAMs don't drop, especially from the "Silent Eagle" variants. Center SDB rack shows but won't drop SDBs. Oh and... More fun than anybody ought to have without reading several hundred pages of manual!!! Really nice to blow up Hezbollah rocket launchers in one pass!

Just making a few suggestions to the skinners here. You're doing some very timely "basic mods", but if you can... consider a version without the pilot in the aggressor EF 2000 please? They'd make good target drones... -

Thank you for doing this! Really want to fly F-35s in the sim with SDBs or nowadays StormBusters. -

Think you're onto something here... Had the British decided not to keep their Tranche 1 Eurofighters and use them solely for air sovereignty/air policing work, they would have made great 4th Gen+ aggressors now. Other original Eurofighter nations may have to make that premature leap - perhaps Germany or Italy. You should also consider THIS Su-35 scheme for an idea. For starters... -
Maybe the solution is to make a few "fantasy" mega-bases... instead of trying to make land terrain that will be flown over rarely if ever. That said, there's been an interesting shooting war in Yemen in recent years, plus a notable US-French presence in Djibouti for counter-terror efforts. Then there's that whole Operation Restore Hope/Black Hawk Down tragedy plus the piracy from Somalia. We could also simulate a good chunk of the Iran-Iraq War and obviously the 2003-2011 OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM and some of the good fight against ISIS. There you go just from this map.

Welcome, I have intentions to read as well Red Star Against The Swastika: The Story of a Soviet Pilot over the Eastern Front Kindle Edition by Vasily Emelianenko . Problem is, when I do I'll want to fly around in an Il-2...

I'd love to see a FB-111 and an Aussie F-111 added long-term, but for right now wish the E & F could pack the SRAM. Because that nuclear explosion is so... nice, like right out of a Dale Brown novel. Such a shame the F-111s & FB-111s got retired in real life. Hell if they could be kept around, packing FOUR 2,000 lb JDAMs or many smaller ones at either high speed or long endurance would be priceless. You do quite well simulating the F-111...

I give this five stars for as close to accurately as possible simulating the A-12 Avenger II. It's really nice to on a Friday afternoon read up on the A-12 Avenger II's role in NAS Whidbey Island history and on a lonely Saturday night pop into this version to see what it'd be like. Heck this flying... dart is correctly simulated to be hard to fly - but the weapons suite with SDBs, AGMs like the HARM & Maverick, AMRAAMs, dumb bombs, Sidewinders, a gun pod and yes GBUs is outstanding. Seems as if the A-12 is only detectable by short-range AAA. I would also recommend only gentle turns - and once your wingman drops his/her precision weapon, order an immediate rejoin. Otherwise you'll lose them...
