HokumPilot

Its pretty obvious it would be a different experience but its still the same target. Whats odd about wanting to shoot down another plane? I played plenty of black shark and lock on made the most sense for a new experience. Ill get a-10 eventually but i figured lock on would make the most sense to get first because it differed the most and has multiple platforms to deliver destruction :thumbup: BVR combat especially is something i had no clue about and wanted to dive into and learn.

This all assuming im not already locked and having 120s coming at me

Ive started getting used to all of the planes, and the 29 seems to be the most fun for me to fly. GG since you seem to be the f 15 expert how would you go about closing in on one in a mig? I assume you would want to be low and at an angle other than head on but do you jam? Do you want to send a 77 or keep your radar off and go for infared? Radar seems much easier to find and lock targets i have a heck of a time getting an infared find with tags off. Coming from Il2 this is all new to me. :helpsmilie: Thanks again guys

thanks for all the info guys its been a big help :smilewink:

thanks for the great info man thats what i was looking for. im coming along slowly but once i get decent with a couple planes ill hop online. the biggest gap in my knowledge really is bvr tactics which is what im trying to practice

my whole reasoning for fc2 was to venture into some air to air. black shark covers my tank busting needs

Thanks for the info guys. I heard the 25 has a different flight model ill have to give it a try. I thought basic flight on the f 15 and mig 29 i was messing around with seemed a bit more simple. Im pretty pumped for this game because of all the aircraft and the avionics look very intense but it will be awesome when there is a dcs module for all these aircraft :)

Hey everyone I just joined the forum tonight since i just got FC2 installed and i had a couple questions. First i was wondering which aircraft would be good for getting started in for online play, i figured it would be a good idea to get familiar with each aircraft offline one at a time. Im not sure how the planes balance but im assuming they are pretty much equal when using tactics tailored to their performance traits. The 29 has my interest:smilewink: The other question i had was how well the planes' in game performance and characteristics match the real things, or should i expect some irregularities ex. does the f 15 have superior avionics or can the mig outrun and outclimb others? If anyone is wondering I also pay black shark (one of the best sims ive ever played) and Il2 and i am looking forward to mixing it up with you guys online.
