More F-14 shots. I'm usually a Vietnam War sorta guy, but I began my airhead days with movies like Top Gun and the Final Countdown. So the Tomcat was very much the beginning of my love for planes. These are a pair of Tomcats scrambled for an Alert 5.

Head-to-head with Soviet MIG-29's.

Fox 1!

Fox 2!

Heading back to the boat.

All down and dirty.

Call the ball.

Lined up nicely (way nicer than my carrier qualifications).

A far better landing than my last attempt.

Here, I was half hoping for the cheering deck crew scene in Top Gun to happen. Nope. A pretty dead deck. Oh well, the war goes on.

Carrier qualifications in The Mirage Factory F-14 Tomcat of the VF-84 Jolly Rogers.

Granted, it isn't the best carrier landing, considering I wasn't even in line with the angled runway. Thankfully, the LSO didn't chew my butt out for it 

A-Team Skunwork...........

Thanks acesfakia for the info!

Mandatory pictures:

This is the cover of the latest comic strip I posted up in CombatAce.

And below is a teaser screenshot for my next comic strip idea. The HH-53 is from YAP.

I understand. Thanks Erik, for you help!

Hi Erik,

Thanks for your reply. I was looking at the clear attachment option, because I've exceeded the 5MB allotted disk space I have for attachments, but it wouldn't be feasible to do so because it would delete the pictures from the post.

But I've managed to get my picture from Imageshack to show on my post. I think I copied the wrong url type across.

Thanks again for your help!

Here is the final page to this comic strip. Sorry it took so long. I only just realized the beauty of Imageshack. I guess I'll be using it from now on to post pictures because I've exceeded my allotted disk space for attachments in just this one comic strip.

Hope you all enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed flying the mission, taking the screenies and making the strip!

Hi,

I didn't want to start a new topic on something similar, so I thought I'd tag on to this topic thread. Could I ask if the allotted attachment upload limit is a daily (24 hour) limit, or is it a set limit for every user?

Also, is it the case that Imageshack url's cannot be used on this site? I tried to post a picture via Imageshack but received a message saying that url is not allowed here.

Thank you.

Damian

Part 3. But this isn't the last page. I accidentally deleted this page from the previous post. I'm figuring out how to get around the attachment limit issue.

Part 2. There's still one more page to go, but I've reached my capacity for attachments for now. The last page will be up ASAP.

I was quite heartened by the positive comments received about my previous Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam comic strip, title A Long Day, posted by MigBuster on the news forum. It made me want to finish another comic strip that I had left on the back burner due to lack of time. Well, I've finally finished it, and I guess it'll be nice to post in on here as my very first topic on the CombatAce site.

Some information on what I used to make this comic strip, and my previous one as well, is that I used the Comic Life 3 comic builder program, which is payware. For both comics, I flew the mission and took screenshots using Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam with full merged installs of all the SF2 titles, excluding the TW expansion packs. The mod I'm using is SF2V Air Ground War Expansion Pack, before the 2014 update for the first comic, and for this comic, the last two pages uses the updated 2014 Air Ground War Expansion Pack.

The Huey's are from Yankee Air Pirate, and the LRRP's, and the ground combat portion basically in this comic, are from ARMA II, an awesome sandbox military simulator. The mod I am using for ARMA II is the UNSUNG Vietnam War mod version 1.5, the second last version of the awesome mod.

I also took the liberty to attach the CombatAce logo, along with a cheesy tagline, to make my comic strips a sort of CombatAce only comics. I hope it does not infringe into any copyright or anything. I am not making money from these comics. The idea of doing this was inspired by the Commando comics series. I just thought it might be cool.

It's time to join the Wild Boars of the 390th TFS as they fly to the help of a LRRP team in trouble in South Vietnam.

Hope you guys enjoy this comic adventure!

Thanks for sharing my comic strip MigBuster!

I need to ask, how do we post pictures that are far bigger than what I'm posting now? Also, I saw somewhere someone taking screenshots of an EC-121 Warning Star. Can anyone point me to the download? I really cannot find it.

Thanks! 

Hi everyone,

This is my first post in Combatace, and I decided to put some screenshots I took of a mission I made and flew. It's an AAR of sorts, which I thought would be more adequate here, since the SF2 AAR Thread has been quiet for quite awhile, and I was afraid of waking it up. Hope you guys enjoy the pics and the story behind them. I'm using the awesome Operation Darius mod, along with the Israeli F-15 Baz mod.

The mission is inspired by the Operation Darius mod, the payware Strait of Hormuz mod (which I do not have), as well as the recent news. It's a mission depicting a what-if strike by Israel on Iran's nuclear weapons program. I dubbed the mission Operation Talon.
