As a pilot it`s good to know that my aircraft won`t go berserk if I pull high AoA. This is the point of the Cobra: maneuvreing at high AoA. During a dogfight I know I can pull the crap out of my Sukhoi without getting into much trouble...just some vibrations. I know that my engine won`t flame out, the plane won`t spin out of control...my only focus is to maintain energy for maneuvreing to shoot the the enemy down. If I`m in a position when I consider that doing the Cobra will save my butt I will do it. It`s good to know my plane can do it. I know my enemy doesn`t have my maneuvring advantage and I can use it against him. This is the whole point.

Можно http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=11636&highlight=%E3%F0%E0%E6%E4%E0%ED%F1%EA%EE%E9+%F2%E5%F5%ED%E8%EA%E8 Поиск великая штука. (это на будущее)

Is that an option?:D

Oh yes.. gotta second that one!:)

I chose the F-18 / MiG-29K variant, with possible F-15C / Su-27 addon, because then we will have both land- and sea-based aircraft, which all quite match to each other. But if I'd have a say in things (which I don't) I'd try to implement the MiG-29M-OVT and / or the Su-30MKI. The AFM should be able to model TVC, and data should be already available (or obtainable). The MiG-29OVT is just an M upgraded with RD-33OVT engines (only one switch added in the cockpit), and the Su-30MKI is in service in India. Main reason for these two: they're my favourites :)

I like your poll Pilotasso.....especially the result as it looks at the moment ;) :D - JJ.

На испытаниях сбивали сверхзвуковую П-5 (не ПКР, СКР), правда наземной артиллерией. Кроме того : "Наконец, последнее. По результатам испытаний и боевой подготовки флотов, АК-630М довольно эффективно пражал планер или бортовую аппаратуру атакующей ПКР. " http://navycollection.narod.ru/ships/Russia/Cruisers/RKR_Proect_1164/history3.html Не указан тип ПКР, но дозвуковых у нас тогда вроде не было. и еще: При своих выдающихся характеристиках батарея из двух АК-630 из-за худших возможностей РЛС и размещения её на значительном удалении от оси стрельбы уступала по точности стрельбы одной 20-мм АУ "Vulcan/Phalanx" Mk.15 (США, 1977). http://navycollection.narod.ru/ships/Russia/Destroyers/ESM_Proect_956/history.html Про живучесть эсминца от ПКР: жертвой сравнительно нового оружия (комплекс П-15 был принят на вооружение ВМФ СССР в 1960 г.), доставившего «на борт» противника более полутора тонн (!) взрывчатки, стал английский эсминец, возраст которого перевалил за два десятка лет. Корабль принадлежал к типу «Z» и был одним из двух устаревших однотипных эскадренных миноносцев, переданных Великобританией Израилю в 1955 г. Не имея современных технических средств обнаружения сравнительно малоразмерных воздушных целей (ВЦ), эффективных систем оружия, способных уничтожить своевременно обнаруженную цель, а уж тем более – средств радиоэлектронного противодействия (РЭП), израильский эсминец умудрился установить факт ракетной атаки, обнаружить запущенные ПКР на дистанции свыше шести миль, сделал попытку уклониться от них и открыл огонь на поражение из 40-мм зенитных автоматов. Результатом попадания в корабль полным водоизмещением около 2,5 тысяч т первых двух ПКР, каждая из которых несла фугасную боевую часть массой 480 кг, стала лишь потеря хода – с пожаром и откачкой поступившей в поврежденные отсеки воды экипаж быстро справился. Поражение неподвижного и не сопротивлявшегося атаке эсминца третьей ракетой вызвало быстрое поступление воды, резкое снижение запаса плавучести и потерю остойчивости. Четвертая ПКР, добившая цель фактически в полигонных условиях, была уже напрасным расходом ценного боезапаса. http://atrinaflot.narod.ru/81_publications/stark.htm На всякий случай: "Тикондерога" имеет бронирование. Хотя и неполное.

Actually, based on what was seen at Nellis last week...the F-22 can do a "real" cobra, and do it very well.

Dogfights are all about situations, and life is life. At any given moment you have more energy than life. The proof of this is that even if your life is gone, you still have energy to fall to the ground. :D Why you haven't used that energy before you wasted your life is up to you. An exception is when you drive your self into the ground, like one mig-23 AI did in front of me last night :D The way I see it, it IS a "stunt". It's a presentation of engine and airframe endurance. Now somebody is gonna say: but they can't do it every day. Yes. But you can't do it once... and keep flying. F-22 comes close, but what others are doing is pure display made to look close to it; saying "heey we can do this manouver we call useless too.." and they do it without it's primary elements, just making them look funney to someone who knows what the stuff is about. As for combat use.. it is very limited. And if your opponent is bad enough to let you get within those limits, you can deal with him without it.
