  1. Well I hope for Kates sake its not a sword coming out....
  2. You thought Bread fish were a good discovery - but container Fish (beds) have recently also been discovered on water http://news.yahoo.com/panama-finds-mig-fighter-jets-north-korean-arms-235241780.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-23408356
  3. The same way you engage bombers in any era - not directly at them if possible - basically lining up behind them has always been suicide. In SF2 you really need a TrackIR IMO then you can do the angles thing a lot better If you are coming in from behind you will need to constantly jink or fly across the formation - you can go vertical and hit them from above and below but again need to be wary where the guns are. Although the bombers have cannon its slow firing at least - but only a few shots will down you
  4. No simulators and planes that were not that easy to fly = easy death If DCS P-51 is any thing to go by its easy to see why so many died through maybe stalling, engine failure, losing control etc - so many different ways to die!

  12. Have a great day!
  13. Ha - well there is a quote on the comments page from the uninformed public: And our wonderful congress wants these dangerous drones flying over America
  14. Why thanks - it sure was easy................and I would love to do some dare devil challenges when I have glued the wings back on

  16. Skyflash could have been available by then.
  17. pants - was enjoying the P-51 campaign until a load of heavily armed ZSUs came into view!
  18. Ok well that raises another question Whats the point of a helicopter that only flies indoors and cant go further than about 3 mtrs up and 2 mtrs sideways
  19. A few things they may not have considered..... How do you steer it? When you need a rest will it glide for about 30 mins while you put your feet up?
  20. Going more modern would bring in the crowds you would think for FC4 - defo I think the P-51 module is pretty good if you haven't done MSX etc - because its relatively easy to operate the switches - and pretty hard to fly. The challenge campaign is great fun flying through all those gates. And it seems faster than the A-10C
  21. No I'm not - I'm pointing out that top speed at high Mach is useful for interception and running away that's about it - the fuel and time it takes to get there is substantial and cant be sustained - a jet with the RCS of the Su-35 and in full afterburner is not exactly low vis (The F-35 has an IRST as well! ). Also the tactical situation means you don't always get to choose where you fight - you don't have the luxury of just going to M2.0 when you feel like it. The number of missiles the Su-35 carries will add drag slowing it down and increase its RCS and its chance of ever getting a first shot in must be <10% - so its irrelevant whether Wikipedia / APA tells you Russian R-77s have some kind of range advantage (because these figures are classified anyway). The only scenario where the Su-35 could be used to effect is in massive numbers - but tbh I dont think they made that many - focus will turn to stealth jets like the PAK-FA because the Su-35 is pretty much obsolete. Who says the F-35 isn't as stealthy as the F-22 btw ? - again a guess based on a photo - not much use The thing about the APA stuff is look at the totally ridiculous 1v1 head on scenarios (and the F-111 agenda) they always portray - if the Su-35 ever went head to head with an F-35 - its not the F-35 the Su actually sees that's likely to be firing at it. If I were you I wouldn't worry about the F-35 - the Su-35 is the one you should be worried about - and although it seems illogical at first - you have to get round the new way of fighting with sensor fusion etc etc
