F-111s strike a desert island doubling as a heavily terrorist base as if it was 1986 Libya... Fighting their way in Whacking the jetty with flak going off so much it's like daylight. Big, beautiful secondary explosion after bombing some trucks Whacking the warehouse A precision strike amidst the heavy flak Bombing a Crotiale site on the way out, after it fired off a desperation SAM.

Looking forward to an improved MiG-23. The current one could use some work:

Nice, but like to see some Eastern German version also for the German map plz...

I think someone has my LRASMs... and maybe there's so rad already I ought to as well just release 'em.

Helping some pals here upgrade the B-1.... here's from tonight's test: Note the two racks of LRASMs and also Deliahs from Israel... Firing a Deliah as an IR anti-ship missile Heading home

I can't seem to get to "Continue to Payment Method"

Oh, it's kilograms of explosive. The Mk 82 has only 89kg of explosive in it, hence the Explosive= 89.000000.

Curious here - editing the ini for a new anti-ship missile. Wonder what's the scalar on Explosives= ? I mean for a 500 lb Mk 82 it's 89.000000. Only 89 of WHAT? For reference a 1,000 lb Mk 83 is 202.0000000000. Thanks in advance.

Nicely done @spinners

I have an acquaintance who depends on the hydroxychloroquine for her compromised immune system. Scary times...

Weird @allenjb42, I had the same idea for today. Long day getting stuff done for people on the computer, so needed to Mudhen to start my evening: Also my wingman can't drop his bombs anywhere near the target for some reason - the six bomb craters of misses are all his.

Sorry to say I've got the same idea as some of you to yank out the F-100 Super Sabre, but here I was flinging rockets...

Nuking some Soviet tank formations...

I'd get more Rafales if I were them. The F-21 is a nice jet but looks way too much like a Pakistani F-16... and in the merge with split-second decisions to be made may not end so well.

@Stratos fyi

Sorry for the late response I was so busy. It's when a bunch of local politicians get together to set policy for and finance a local public transit. The video is below. Big Covid19 stuff at 42:12 til 1:18:52, 1:32:47 til 1:37:20, 1:39:14 til 1:42:20 and 1:42:45 til 1:47:27. Things are so serious for transit operators the Community Transit operator's union is posting weekday Facebook updates and the national unions are getting aggressive. Yes, if you depend on transit... essential trips only please!

I've been busy since 7 PM trying to upload a Skype recording of a transit board meeting with extensive discussion about Covid19. One transit operator has passed on, another is in the hospital, and some more are infected. The logistics of shutting down the transit and dealing with boarding beyond social distancing were discussed, it's that bad. Oh and when you record a meeting on the phone, make sure the microphone is NOT recording otherwise you'll have not just echo but also the sound of typing in the background. Otherwise, expect to spend hours going thru Audacity and other programs to correct the error. Only now is the YouTube uploading and it's 2:15 AM here on the West Coast - well over an hour past my bedtime. Sigh.

Sometimes two-seater jets just do it better......

a) You got my Israeli idea right b) Well I meant K for former Aussie Finance Minister & Prime Minister Paul Keating but yeah B-1C also works. There was the F-111C for the RAAF, which was then augmented by FB-111s that became F-111Gs.

Thanks @daddyairplanes. I don't think going back to the old SAC scheme is too wise. The RAAF is going to a light grey. Go ahead and do nose arts :-). For the record, the Israeli idea is 100% mine. Something I came up with because the RAAF already has Israeli weapons like the Popeye. Both nations know full well how alliances with Europe only work so well - the RAAF who couldn't get their troops home from European battlefields once Japan started heading their way with the fall of Singapore as Paul Keating spoke so well about and the Israelis who had the French mess with their aircraft purchases in the 1960s. Plus Israeli used to use B-17s and could use strategic bombers in a pinch... I await excitedly the inis. A simple decals.ini change will address the Israeli concept as the B-1Ks were just reflagged :-).

I would think they'd definitely go to what the RAAF F-111s were painted in the 2000s - a semi-light grey. They'd also pack a lotta Harpoons, Popeye and J-DAM. For starters. As to the future of the RAAF B-1Bs... well AIM-120s and even Gabriel & SPICE missiles from Israel would come eventually in the late 1990s making them B-1K Keatings that Dale Brown readers would salivate over. This was in return for a secret agreement Israel could use the bombers in a national emergency such as if Israel was about to be overrun or if Iran posed too much of a nuclear threat - and Israel would help Australia if Australia was in existential danger. Israel eventually would show up at Perth Airport with refueling tankers in mid-November 2020 to collect on that debt of honor and annihilate Iran's nuclear capability with reflagged B-1Ks in their only "in anger" performance creating a second front too much for Iranian air defenses to handle with no RAAF/IDF losses. You may wonder how in the 2003-2008 participation in the Iraq War and the ISIS conflict the B-1Ks were able to sit those out while the RAAF sent F/A-18As and eventually F/A-18Fs? It had to be made clear time & again to US Central Command that the B-1Ks were intended to serve as Australia's non-nuclear strategic deterrent to protect the Australian homeland - not to fly sorties as J-DAM trucks and flying boom boxes over the Middle East. It helped when until late 2020 very few knew of the fine details of the secret Israeli-Australian agreement plus few in the US Government were ever wild about expanding the nuclear club to anyone except for some loudmouth named Donald J. Trump who had to watch Israel & Australia (and covertly some Middle Eastern nations like Iraq) whack Iran a week after Joe Biden became President-elect. The People's Republic of China got the memo once the agreement was released via a leak to the Aussie press and had to give direct, firm reassurances they had no intention to initiate hostilities against anyone. Also never again would the PRC allow a pandemic leave their shores either... fearing a Prime Minister Anthony Albanese would make good on his threat to send the B-1Ks with new stealth cruise missiles after the People's Liberation Army Navy if another Covid-19 landed on Aussie shores. The Aussies were able to keep their big stick around for so long by limiting flight hours, gracious Israeli assistance with the avionics & weapons to the point of Israeli refurbishing the avionics so the B-1K could be flown by two aircrew if desired, cannibalizing aging USAF B-1Bs for parts, and growing use of 3-d printing. It was part of the Australian political consensus with a rising People's Republic of China + other regional troublemakers the harsh lessons of World War II and 11 September wouldn't be forgotten. Eventually in the late 2020s with no replacement for the B-1 except for the B-21 Raider retained for US-use only, the RAAF decided to replace what became B-1Cs with F-15EXs upgraded by Israel.

Three Su-30s out on a SEAD mission.... against Hokkaido

A F-14 splashes a Serb MiG-29s just in time to save his wingman...
