    Tis funny - I actually clicked this link to see if anyone suggested the Shark over the Hip for learning the Hind (given it is probably as far away from the Hind as possible without just going to a fixed wing aircraft lol) - and BAM here we go, there is always one 😆.

     

    it depends what you want to practice before the hind comes. the hip is better if you want to learn the instruments and just learn to fly. but if you have mastered that already, the shark is a better choice for practicing the combat tactics of the hind. plus I never said anywhere the hind can't hover, I don't know why that myth keeps getting brought up 😆

    Unfortunately we have perfectly boresighted Mavs, in comparison with Viper's. We don't have even the option (existing in RL). I would love Mavs in the Hornet gets improved to the level of the Viper's.

     

    I do like heavy realism the approach they have taken with the viper

  3. if tgp is not available, the only way is to know the coordinates before hand and drop in pre planned mode. the a/g radar is not accurate enough to find targets and employ jdams without the use of the tgp to fine tune the coordinates. this is also true in the real jet.

     

    the other simulator you are referring to has an a/g radar which way over performs how the real one behaves.

  4. the A8 is a hunter, yes, a hunter of bombers. it's a much more heavily armoured version of the older A5 and A6 which were better dogfighters. in a one on one against a spitfire it will lose everytime, however if you fly in a group of 190 vs a group of spitfires it becomes much more even using the high speed to drag opponents while your wingmen shoot them down. if turn rate was king then the I-16 would be the best fighter. no need to upgrade 😀
