Well I hope the SAMs are as good as they say they are if it comes to it an (apparently) radar less GR-7/9 with AIM-9s is even worse than the First Sea Harrier - at least that had a radar (albeit not a look down one!) With Phantoms/Gannet etc - Maybe the ability to actually detect low flying targets, and intercept the Etendards before they could get a shot in - because the Etendards could pretty much do what they like from what Ive read.

Also fought US F-5 aggressor pilots, and 4 F-15 pilots from Bitburg in mock engagements according to my sources. The Argentines knew about the SHARs reputation before the war started so gave it massive respect. Maybe one of the reasons that their Attack pilots were told to jettison their A-G load and disengage if they were caught by one. Should say that the French stopped supplying any more of the ordered "Exocet" missiles to Argentina - You have to wonder what would have happened if they had more than 5 of them!

This would have to be a hard coded feature of the game AFAIK - It was never implemented by Third Wire - Red Crown woman will always say there are no assets available. So you just need to practise and come up with better planning basically. Not sure what game you have - but if you find yourself in a flight of 2 Canberras and 8 SU-27s show up dont expect to be around for long. If you go on a single mission you can choose different types of jets to be in your flight - so you could have 2 F-15s as flight 1 to give you escort cover. In campaigns - if you are flying F-4s for example give numbers 3 - 8 anti-radiation missiles and A-A loadouts - then order them to keep the interceptors or SAMs busy - You need to do this anyway really because only your actual#2 Wingman will bomb a primary target (unless its CAS) fyi - pre WOI the AI is hopeless at going guns only on banking slow targets so you might be okay in the Canberra after all unless the SUs have missiles :) .

Im afraid these are NOT facts in any way shape or form and we know all governments are prone to lying (or propaganda as you call it) - or even SPIN as its called over here - that does not change the real fact that there is no conclusive proof to confirm these events. For example what you are implying is that Israel covered up their F-16 losses by importing extra jets from the States and giving them the same serial numbers as the ones shot down so no one will know better! OK what if they did - there is no way to prove it - its just someones word against someone elses. Ok lets take the Mig-21 Dogfight win against an F-16C: What block version of F-16C? What weapons did each side have? Who was flying it? ( for example a good pilot in an F-4 would probably beat a rookie in an F-16 guns only) What circumstances/rules were they fighting under? You need to gather the exact circumstances involved before stating that an airframe from the late 50s is superior to one that was designed specifically to destroy the Mig-21 in close combat - because none of your arguments hold any substance. There are many many factors that could have decided the outcome As another example about information with no evidence or substance behind it - look at this quote from Wikipedia: MiG-21-97 MiG-21-93 upgrade. MiG-21-93 re-engined with Klimov RD-33 engine. Russians have claimed that the evaluation at Ramenskoye Airport had shown that this version had beaten simulated F-16 in mocked dogfight with a score of 4:1. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiG-21 They may as well have written "My mate shot down 4 F-16s playing Wings Over Isreal" for all the relevant information that gives us!

Ive been going through some of the 100 missions recently and they actually feel pretty random due to the variety of things to do - been doing a mix of B-26, AC-130, C-130, AC-47, UH-1, and CH-53, HH-53 missions which are totally different to anything really and provide a really good challenge. In stock Randomly generated single missions you start at a different concrete airbase each time (no carrier ops) - the only randomness normally comes in the amount of Migs and SAMs that show up (the AAAs pretty constant) - oh and tanks if you add CAS missions - but been flying them for so long it was nice to have a change.

When WOE/WOV gets upgraded the stock jets will all have new flight models - but the 3rd party ones wont unless they are upgraded - which is some job when you think of how many people understand flight models. You will have to look around for specific jets that state they work with WOI. So just a case of hoping they are really - of course if you have some spare time to learn about the flight models.....

well done!

There you go - someone has actually done it - and I dont need to take the blame for you messing up your install (which im sure you wont) - but as easy as ThirdWire series games - no way .

Are you getting the Original Falcon 4.0 or Falcon 4:Allied Force? I only have Falcon4:AF so will tell you that it comes with a nice big manual in pdf form - that you are advised to print off if you can do. Work through the training missions first to get a feel of it all - and once you have been through training the manual seems a bit more understandable :) Once you have played it a bit there are several forums where you can pick up good advice on how to play the game, how ECM really works and how to avoid missiles/SAMs etc (the manual won't help you with this!). fruglsworld has loads of useful stuff also.

I have read of several ways to do it but its not that straight forward - I have seen some recent threads at frugals world on this so my advice is to go there and read up on it.

Woah - take it easy - and dont come back till you feel fit enough to do so

Think I know the name - similar to a band among other things - will let someone else answer though

well you have to put some easy ones in I guess! yes - it is the Messerschmitt BF109 V1 in 1935 - well done ah the Irony!

Not too sure about the Pony thing anyway... Which prototype of a pretty famous fighter plane used a Rolls-Royce Kestrel VI (695hp) engine?

I dont think anyone has implied that Russia has an F-22 have they? We import loads of things from China - though its more to do with cheaper cost than having any dependency on a single country. and I think currently an ICBM would quite happily disagree with any countries economy by wiping it out regardless.

Yes I think so - saw something that said it may not be wise to contact them face to face because they may not be immune to things like the common cold etc

So does air superiority balance out power or is it more to do with economies now? Personally I think the balance of power these days is more down to nuclear weapons - look at Russia - economy aint the best - and as far as Air superiority goes they have a model of an F-22 with red stars on the wing - however they can wipe any nation they like of the planet with the press of a button. ok back OT

Well should be fun starting from scratch - wouldnt go to far with WOE/WOV because new patches are out soon apparently to bring them up to WOI level and you may be starting from scratch again shortly :close_tema: My WOE install has so many man hours of mods in it that I back up the entire game now every now and then.

It sure was - congrats Only really know about the Invader because it was used over SEA strangely enough!

Well I said for the time being - that doesnt mean that they wont export them after they have been around a while. The F-15s and 16s were exported within a couple of years of them coming into US service it appears - although back then the obvious threats consisted of current Soviet hardware (aka Mig-23). Reasons why the F-22 is being held (nearly 3 years service) are not clear although one thing that is: Billions spent on development - and the funds for developing future replacements may not be as forthcoming as they once were. Why should they "give away" guaranteed air superiority over any nation on the planet that easily? It might be different if Iran had squadrons of stealth F-5 shakarakas (or whatever) and yes they may have S-300 SAMs alledgedly but these will be defending their nuclear facilities (maybe) and no threat to Israel at the moment You might be right and end up with a few next year - in which case I will eat my hat

Surely they can do that by pushing more F-35 and F-16 sales through

Cant see the F-22 being exported for the time being - US would be stupid to do so IMO.

What was said to be the fastest US bomber used in WW2?

Mig-21 bis (Fishbed N) late 80s?

Once you added the code to "weapondata.ini" did you then open that file with the Weapons editor?. You should see the newly added weapon in the weapons editor - you then need to hit the "Save" button which is the important part - this will then create a new weapondata.dat. Both weapondata.ini and weapondata.dat should be in \Objects\Weapons
