Is the Thrustmaster T. Flight HOTAS worth it?
-
Is the Saitek X56 really that bad?
Goose489 replied to Vampyr's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I wish the Saitek X56 was still only $128 but it has sadly gone up to an insane $250. -
But does it have missiles?
-
Why do you guys keep saying it has a terrible spread? It has amazing groupings. it has 40 ft groupings from 4,000 ft.
-
If you're talking about the A-10 getting shot down by Sam's how do you think a B-52 is going to survive at 35,000 ft where the Sam's can easily reach?
-
1. I did not say it had stealth, I was referring to the fact that radar cannot detect something below 500 ft because it would be obscured by objects on the ground. 2. The A-10 carries maverick missiles that have an effective range of 13 nautical miles which means they can easily climb fire dive. 3. The A-10 is outfitted with plenty of flares/chaff and sensors to easily defeat a missile/sam. I do see where I accidentally said stealth my bad.

Troops aren't just going to need someone to drop 2 LGB and be on with their day. The enemy will move and advance on them and there will be reinforcements and trucks moving in and an F-35 will not have the payload to accomplish that. Also, with the stealth the A-10 can operate under the radar, and if there are sams it will just blow them up. The USAF did a test between the F-35 and the A-10 and there was a dogfight in the test. the A-10 put its reticle on the F-35 almost every time.
-
Thank you for clarifying that.
-
The F-35 is unable to carry what the A-10 can carry and it is also unable to take the damage like the A-10. Building off your point of money, Lockheed would much rather the Air Force spend trillions of dollars on F-35s than the cheap 10.1 million on the A-10. The F-35 will not be able to stay up in the air long enough for the troops on the ground.

I don't understand how the F-35 is going to replace the A-10.
-
The navy used the F-4B

This is an excerpt from Army Technology's Apache page. The Apache attack helicopter can be equipped with air-to-air missiles (Stinger, AIM-9 Sidewinder, Mistral and Sidearm) and the advanced precision kill weapon system (APKWS), formerly known as Hydra, family of guided and unguided 70mm rockets.
-
I'm not 100% sure either.
-
But it is still capable correct? I understand this would never be used in-game and there is nothing the ED team needs to do about this topic.
-
Ok, that makes more sense.
-
The Apache has never used the missiles but is capable of carrying up to four rail-launched sidewinder missiles Please correct me if I'm wrong.
-
The F-4 did not originally have a gun so instead added a gun pod.
-
I agree.
-
All that is correct except I disagree with the gun kills. They did not have the ammunition or the self-leading gunsight to hit the target consistently.
-
I apologize it is the AH-64A/D variant that employs the sidewinder and stinger.
-
Is that official that the Vulkan is coming?
-
The American Apache has sidewinders which would also be a nice addition.
-
Can you at least give us the stinger?
-
The last-second loss of track could have been due to the aircraft possibly climbing or descending because the missile is not designed to hit a climbing target.
