    It is clear that the 104 radar probably ist not the best performing one. But 6 nm detection (not even lock on) range for a fighter seems VERY low. Even the F-5 radar does MUCH better! So I wonder where this exact number is coming from!
  2. SuperKermit
    Yes, indeed! Smarter than before and smarter than your own AI buddies Thanks for looking into that matter!

    That's how the MiGs do it as well with their R-60s Flying in a straight line in order to aim the Sidewinders makes you pretty vulnerable as well... I'm curious about your assessment! Many thanks in advance!

    First of all please let me state that I very much like that campaign as it creates a really intense immersion! However, now I really struggle with mission 11 - CAP to protect the Kiowas: after returning from WP 4 back to WP 3 I encounter that flight of 4 MiGs and it seems to be impossible to defeat them. I might manage to kill one of them but then closely after I get shot by a missile every time. I think I am pretty good at BFM but in those 4v4 I really struggle. What is the best strategy to employ my AI wingmen? What is the best strategy for myself against the all-aware AI MiGs? They just seem to have the perfect SA...

    Can you quote a source for that data?
  6. SuperKermit
    There is some footage in the recent trailer + several screenshots from inside!

    I am currently preparing my control setup for the Phantom launch and I wonder what the original typeface of the cockpit panels is? Maybe Heatblur would like to elaborate on which font they are using? Many thanks in advance!
  8. SuperKermit
    From Heatblur Facebook - seems like the Sparrowhawk could be a possibility:

    AFAIK Norm 81A and 81B had two versions each. It is really hard to find comprehensive information on the net how exactly each of them looked. Do you know more about that?

    German is fine. Thanks again
  11. SuperKermit
    Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge! I wonder how much the added weight influenced the flight characteristics.
  12. SuperKermit
    Great, thx! Can you recommend it? I would like to obtain a comprehensive information source about the F-4.
  13. SuperKermit
    What book is that information from?
  14. SuperKermit
    According to this source https://www.david-gledhill.co.uk/the-phantom/the-suu-23-gunpod/ it was used for A-A and also had an LCOS.

    Thanks for the comprehensive answer! It would be indeed interesting how the Royal Navy / Air Force handled that matter.
  16. SuperKermit
    Was that also the case for the Navy Phantoms?

    I was just thinking whether it would be easier for ED or for Razbam to derive an FF F-15A/C from their existing product.

    Does anybody have an idea what the most time and resource consuming part of a module development is? Is it rather the FM, the systems modeling or the aircraft design?
  19. SuperKermit
    Yes, "if". But the Eagles first flight was in 1976 with the "C" coming out three years later.

    Personally, I don't follow the argument that more capabilites make a module more attractive. Why do you think the Cold War era has so many fans? If you want a Link 16 connected and AIM-9x firing fighter then pick the F-16 or F-18. To me at least an early F-15A/C would depict that fighter in the era it was most relevant. It would be the first single seated air superiority fighter of the Cold War era in DCS. With all those modern gizmos it would not fit into that context anymore. And yes, I really think that this would sell! The ideal way certainly would be different versions like the F-14.
  21. SuperKermit
    Unless you are specifically wanting a Pre MSIP (non AIm120 equipable) F15C. Exactly that! Like I said: I think we need a proper single seated Cold War air superiority fighter depicting the state of its time. And that excludes all the fancy upgrades that came with MSIP-(II) IMHO. BTW, AIM-120 came in 1991. At that time the Cold War was over already. P.S.: And then please add the MiG-29A as an equal opponent!
  22. SuperKermit
    I beg to differ. I don’t think that a F-15E minus the CFTs would do the trick. To me that would be just another SPAMRAAM missile truck. To me at least the F-15C is the pinnacle of cold war fighter aircraft. An iconic design of its time. I even would prefer a F-15A or early -C with analogue weapons display. And without AIM-120s of course. At the moment there is no true single seat Cold War air superiority fighter. As much as I love the Tomcat the fiddling with jester is just killing the immersion - although I find it greatly implemented!
  23. SuperKermit
    Yes, hopefully! Same goes for the F-16A!
  24. SuperKermit
    Bad news...
  25. SuperKermit
    That's a pity! F-15A maybe?
