  1. I had no idea of the Cancer battle he was going through for 18 years!! - a great character and example to others.
  2. You should have noticed the SAMs have different models - the SA-2B and C were always easy to avoid in WOV - but the SA-2F was a bit of a death ray unless you used your "super chaff". It looks like the SA-2F has been toned down (and the chaff) since then but you still need to be careful with the F models. There is an SA-2E now by default although havnt had much dealings with that. From what some Pilots say from that era they were relatively to beat "if you saw them coming" - and quite a few different jamming methods were used in that period which ultimately made them fairly ineffective.
  3. Well could just say thats women for ya :) You are right people over here cant understand - and do take this current social climate for granted. Theres plenty like that in the UK - just don't take it personally - especially if they are obviously that naive to the point they believe the press.
  4. It does but you need a few fixes from a column 5 thread - there have been other threads on this subject so you should find it easily
  5. No it doesnt - Mike Shower in an F-15C (1999 Allied Force) fired 3 at one MiG-29 - 2 fired initially which both failed - so he then fired a third from about 6 miles which hit - not sure which version though.
  6. Kremlin films!! mite have to find me a subtitled version
  7. Well 1 factor no doubt - but if there was more of a threat (particularly in the air ) in the modern wars more tanks would have been jettisoned. Certainly some of the F-15s in 1991 dropped the tanks before firing Sparrows. The Israelis in the 1960s jettisoned their tanks for fun when there was a reported enemy jet nearby according to pilots - and dropped so many it had to be restricted to only when a confirmed Arab jet was sighted due to supplies getting low.
  8. Yes you might be right there :)
  9. Try positioning the pilot http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=44033
  10. No but speed, sensors, stealth, range, and payload certainly are ............... One thing it has over the A-10 is that it can get to an emergency a lot quicker - and its quoted weapons load is similar in terms of weight! also over the A-10 it can also be used against a modern IADS (if required)
  11. The F-4 had an IFF system called 'Combat Tree' (APX-81) - used by the US from around 1971 in Nam - the Iranians also used this system in their F-4s and F-14s during the Iran Iraq war. They would ID the target but normally Vis ID before firing according to most accounts
  12. Heres the official version Well, many things you do can affect the campaign. All the static aircraft (fighter and bomber types) are drawn from the campaign squadron, so destroying them would directly reduce the number of aircraft they have available. Similarily, destroying tanks affects the ground units strength. Transport aircraft (both on the ground and in th air) "carry" virtual supply, so their destruction reduce the resupply the unit is set to receive. There are other indirect effects, destroying hangars may also reduce the number of aircraft they have available in the future, and destroying warehouse and fuel tanks also affect their supply status. But these effects are more indirect, and may not be noticable from mission to mission.
  13. The Nov 2008 version of FE should be at the level of the last WOI/WOE etc so should think so.
  14. This is something TK introduced (or became more prevalent) for the Wings Over Israel campaigns - although there has always been intercept missions where the bombers are over the base soon after you get airbourne. When you enter the sim initially there will often be other planes already airborne - what I meant about FE was that planes only spawn on the ground 'after' you have started a mission - as in they dont just appear out of thin air.

  16. Hi there This fix might might sort out number 1 at least: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=44864
  17. Crikey - sorry to hear the Cocas - hope we see you around here again soon and best of luck!

    INS ARIHANT

    well well - good luck with that - theres a bit on here too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arihant_class_submarine
  19. As far as redoing a jet for SF2 goes - the minimum you can do is look through here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?s=&am...st&p=312185 put in any fixes - make changes if there are obvious things wrong compared to the real thing For weapons / tanks see here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?s=&am...st&p=312195 For pilots and seats see here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?s=&am...st&p=312197 Ive gone as far as changing the flight model and brushing over skins that were poor - but you don't need to go that far unless the flight model is particularly bad in SF2.
  20. What plane are you talking about here? - this is nothing to do with game dynamics - the jets flight model is determined individually by its data.ini file Also what are you comparing it against? Im guessing you might not be familiar with Jets where you have to utilise energy and the vertical plane - for example the F-4 turns ok over 450kts - but you should NEVER get into a horizontal turning flight in one in reality let alone a low speed turning fight - and that goes for most western jets until the F-16 comes along. Ironically a quote ive seen to describe the F-4 - "proof that if you have enough power you can fly a brick"
  21. Many congratulations to you and your wife!
  22. Yes - however if you download the SF2 Ordanance shop in the downloads section you will find a lot have been done already. just install to an EMPTY folder on your desktop then copy over the weps you need - they are just plug and play now
  23. I dont think using a pod makes any difference - its more to do with the jamming type and strength of the pod - with you can view and change with the Weapons editor for SF2
  24. Well no it came out of the cold war into a world where its too advanced for everything else - but it was still right to make it - gives an advantage any AF would kill for - acts as another deterent because of that. + its probably also a case of putting the US back at the top - the rest of the world had caught up since the F-16/15 came along and started releasing jets of similar capability. I'm Pretty sure the F-35 does have F-22 tech - however to get F-22 performance and stealth it needs an airframe like the F-22 - and probably a couple of engines.
