" At longer ranges, the F-15C and the F-15E still have the advantage over the Su-35 with their active electronically scanned array radars. The Raytheon APG-63 (v) 3 and APG-82 (v)1 on the two Eagle variants are still considerably superior to the Su-35S’ Tikhomirov IRBIS-E phased array radar. " . . . This was Not True. In the real live the F15-C, from Alaska using this radar meet the Indian Training Su-30MK, that uses a Training Pulse Doppler Radar and seen the F-15C at the same distance. This is all we have for this simulate combat that put the F-15C vs Su-30MK. All the rest is classified by the US side.

I believe the AIM - 7, do not have all their code in game. Is not working.

I will Not Buy Any Beta or Alpha Program any more, Map or Combat Planes / Heli :(

Limitations keep F-22 from use in Libya ops By Dave Majumdar - Staff writer Posted : Tuesday Mar 22, 2011 18:22:15 EDT One aircraft conspicuous by its absence over the skies of Libya is the Air Force’s vaunted F-22 Raptor air dominance fighter. The Lockheed Martin-built jet was likely benched due to its inability to communicate with other coalition aircraft and its limited ability to hit ground targets, analysts said. “The designers of the F-22 had a dilemma, which is whether to have the connectivity that would allow versatility or to have the radio silence that would facilitate stealthiness. What they opted for was a limited set of tactical data links,” said Loren Thompson, an analyst and chief operating office at the Lexington Institute, Arlington Va. The F-22 can only connect with other F-22s via an intraflight data link, and can only receive, but not transmit, over the standard Link-16 data link found on most allied aircraft. Radio emissions from various data links could potentially give away the aircraft’s position, Thompson said. As such, while the Raptor is the stealthiest operational aircraft in the world, it lacks much of the connectivity found on other warplanes, he said. The aircraft also lacks a significant air-to-surface punch. Currently, the F-22 can only use two 1,000-pound Joint Direct Attack Munitions, which are GPS-guided bombs, against fixed targets. It does not yet have the ability to carry the 250-pound Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) or to create synthetic aperture radar maps, which are black and white photo-quality images of the Earth’s surface, needed to select its own ground targets. By contrast, an F-15E Strike Eagle can carry 24,000 pounds of ordnance. Those capabilities will be available once the Increment 3.1 hardware and software upgrade is fielded into the operational Raptor fleet later this year. However, even with Increment 3.1 installed, the F-22 will only be able to designate two targets in total for the eight SDBs it would be able to carry. The operational test force has been putting Increment 3.1 through its paces at Nellis AFB, Nev., since November. However, the addition of Increment 3.1 will not resolve the Raptor’s basic inability to connect with other aircraft, nor has the Air Force articulated a clear plan for the F-22 to do so. A future upgrade called Increment 3.2 was to have included the Multifunction Advanced Data-link (MADL) found on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, however, the Air Force deleted funding for that data link last year. The MADL is also planned for integration into the B-2, which would have enabled the entire Air Force stealth aircraft fleet to be connected during operations inside hostile airspace. Further, it is only with the addition of Increment 3.2 that the Raptor would be able to independently retarget eight SDBs at eight separate targets. Under the Air Force’s global strike task force doctrine, the Raptor would normally escort B-2 Spirit stealth bombers in “kicking down the door” of an enemy’s air defenses. However, U.S. Africa Command, which is running Operation Odyssey Dawn, confirmed the F-22 has not flown over Libya. “I see no indication that F-22s were used as an escort for the B-2 nor do I see anything that indicates the Raptor will be used in future missions over Libya,” said Air Force Maj. Eric Hilliard, a spokesman for Africa Command. On March 20, three B-2s flew bombing runs out of their base at Whiteman Air Force Base (AFB), Mo., against targets in Libya. Analysts concurred that part of the reason for the absence of the Raptor is that it was not needed to defeat Libya’s relatively pedestrian air defenses. The Libyans have a largely obsolete fleet of aircraft and only older model Soviet surface-to-air weaponry. “Frankly, they might not be needed. Libya’s defenses were not that robust to begin with and were rolled back quite handily,” said Mark Gunzinger, an analyst with the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Analysis, Washington. “Libya is not generally considered a highly capable adversary,” Thompson added. Gunzinger said that the B-2s probably flew at night, which would eliminate any chance of the billion-dollar warplane being spotted visually by the enemy. The large subsonic aircraft could be potentially vulnerable if it was seen, which is why it would be escorted by high performance stealth fighters like the F-22 if it was flying against a more challenging foe such as Iran or North Korea, Thompson said.

More Computer Sim_Combat ... Nice propaganda . . .Us need to release real combat exenario like F-15 vs Indian SU-30MKI :) LaRata

_ B-17 are WW2 era Bomber. No SAM`s in WW2. _ The F-22 will be " The Last Fighter " ; One agains all Enemy Armed Force`s . ; ) LaRata

. . . :) . . .

The F-22 have the same Weapons . 4 x Bombs. Yes more Avanced but the same ... " your SAMs, your fuel depots, tooling, hangars, control towers, power stations, and so on and so forth. " All of this are Soft Target . Nothing especial to use 300M $ Tactical Plane. Cruse Missiles, UAV do the same jop. LaRata

4 x 250 perfect Hit on Heavy Protected Target do very limited Damaged. But make a lot of noise ... Some Heavy Target were hit by 5,000lbs in Yugoslavya. After the War Mig-21 come and fly from this suposed destroyed Taget. LaRata

NICE :) A 300 millon US $ , Drop 4 x Small 250 lbs Bombs , like WW 2 Attack Plane . LaRata

_ YES it will be the only way ... :) Is ED want to Model all Player Controller Planes 100% as Real. _ F-4 , A-6 , A-7 , A-4 , F-14 , Mig-17 , Mig-21 , Will Be Nice Combat Planes to Model Accurately :) _ Jas-39 , Su-27SM, Su-35, EF2000, Rafale, Mig-35 are to far away in Time as Player Controller. LaRata

" Actually the standard Su-27 is still in use. There is no useful information about the advanced versions and it would be difficult to model them. " _ Su-27SM , Mig-31BN , Mig-29SMT , JAS-39 , EF2000 , RAFALE , are in Active Service By Now . We are in The 2010 era. If ED Not be able to model then . This series Not going to grow to much .. :( " This is a simulator whose STATED PURPOSE is to model aircraft accurately, as close to 100% as possible." _ This is why ED need to go back to the 80`s , And Not wait 10+ years to Collect some Data and make new Player Controller Plane ... :( _ And for the end ... I`m only drop some Wish List to this Post as Single User. I` have using this series from the " SVGA Su-27 1.0 to FC2 ". The Bad will be The Bad and The Good will be The Good and this will not be chance in one Post ... :) LaRata

_ Yes the Su- are Flown in Many Air Force , But some of then are more Avance than Russia has in their Air Force. Some are Using R-77 and able to use avance Air to Ground Weapons. THE Game Su-27 , are Out of Date By Now. Need to Be Replaced for more Avance Model ... _ This is only a Game ... Not a Real Simulator . We Not need 100% accurately in all the Planes and Combat System. _ ED need to back the Game to the 80`s Technology ... LaRata

Hi : Remove old Planes for Future Sim ... Some Air Combat Planes are Out of Service or To old in Technology or NO longer in Active Service . Planes to Remove and Save Resources : _ Mig-23 _ Mig-27 _ Mig-25 / R _ Mig-29A ... Leaves only the C Model. _ Su-25 _ KA-50 ... Replaces in Some Future for the KA-52. ( As Player Controler ) _ Su-27 ... The Su-27 are near their end in this Series. The AIM-120C , Make the Su-27 Near Obsolete by Now. Badly the game Su-27 need Upgrade to more Avance Su- Series. By now need to be removed and leave as only AI Controller Aircraf . Focus more on the Su-33... _ F/A-18 A/C " Remove the " A " ; " C ", From US Carrier and Replace using F/A-18E _ S-3 Viking remove from the US Carrier . Is Time for New Air Combat and New WarPlanes . Leaves the 80`s Technology for now. Sorry for My poor Eng. :( LaRata

More Close ... less distance ... more chance to detect the F-35. It supose the f-35 shot at long distance not short one... LaRata

Its Supose the AIM-120 do Not Fail to Hit Their Target ... But in the Real World AIM has failet to Hit Their Target in real Combat. One F-35 that Fail to Hit using AIM will be in real trouble ... LaRata

F-35 only have 2 x Aim and low speed / Range ( M 1.8 ) . A good Interceptor ??? The Super Bug have only maximun speed of M 1.8 . This planes need more speed ... The SU will not going all the way in the same vector. LaRata

More News ... " Navy chief optimistic F-35 will enter fleet on schedule . . . During an interview at the Pentagon, Chief of Naval Operations Gary Roughead said the Navy is reviewing recent program changes, but he believes the Navy will benefit from being the last of the services to receive the F-35 and, ultimately, will stick close to its 2014 date for initial operational use. " http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0310/030310cdpm1.htm " Air Force secretary says F-35 cost to breach legal limit . . . During a breakfast with reporters, Donley called it probable that the aircraft program, the largest weapons system on the Pentagon books, would exceed the limits set by the 1982 law. The statute requires congressional notification when unit costs are at least 15 percent over budget and harsher sanctions -- including termination -- when the cost spirals to 25 percent or more over budget.
