I was just reading an excellent book on the Eagle the other day (F-15C in combat, from Osprey aviation books), mainly on the use of the Eagles in Desert Storm, and I was surprised to read again (as in many other accounts) about missiles failures, missiles missing, missiles engines not firing up or missiles not exploding... One pilot recalls sending 3 sparrows before getting one to have the engine work! and another tells about sending 2 AIM-9 before realising there was no tone... There is also a range thing : pilots accounts of MiG kills tell their story and they shoot their missiles quite close to the targets because of the ROE (most of the time, they need to visually identify their targets before shooting...) Not surprising that everybody in the USAF tell you eagerly that they are called miss-iles because they do miss a lot... (SAMs too, as a matter of fact, and for that topic, one should just read Rosenkranz book about F-16s in Iraq called 'Vipers in the storm' where the jets are litterally surrounded by SAMs, AAAs and Flack of various type, enough that the pilot compare it to fireworks). My point is : I believe that in our favorite SIM the missiles work too well and too predictably compared to the reality. I started experimenting with the missile slider and I found that a little bit (not much) off center to the left (say 4), one will get sometimes a SAM or missile to miss (yours or your ennemie's equally) and it adds to the excitement! What do you guys think? just a tought. JEFX
