Numbers for Vietnam? As you know MIG-21 is single seat and F-4 is double seat. From my point of view when F-4 is shot down you can loose both pilots on the other side when you shot down a mig you are one man short. But the important fact is that North Vietnam had just a few MIG-21 (about 12 if i am not mistaken) and they were used to intercept US fighter bombers instead of dogfighting F-4s. But still like someone said here one of the most important facts is pilot training. I like MIG-23 and i really don't know what leatherneck want to develop after MIG-21 but i assume they have headaches of finishing MIG-21 and those user's polls.

What is you favourite loadout with MI-8? Usually i am taking 100% fuel, 2xS-8KOM rocket pods and two GUV pods (machines guns + grenade launcher). What do you preffer for normal combat situation when you don't know what enemies you can expect?

Hey guys! I have a question for developers. There are quite a lot of MI-8 (MI-17 export) versions i just want to know why did you choose MI-8MTV2. It is not the newest one but also it is not the oldest one. What steps and desicions did you take to choose this model? :) P.S. sorry for my bad English :-D

I love MI-8 but i still need to learn a lot of things about this beast so guys can you tell me what is ARK-9?:smartass:

lol thank you a i didn't noticed those rotary dials THANK YOU!!! Problem solved :thumbup:

Hey guys, i have problems to light up all my instruments in the cockpit. Can some one help me or it is still under development? http://imageshack.com/a/img62/1784/pe7r.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img823/7013/v496.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img823/5892/mf9x.jpg

I did some more research and i found this sentence: "Combat range: 750 km (405 nmi, 466 mi)at sea level, 4,400 kg (9,700 lb) weapons and two external tanks" If it is true that probably find the problem. This combat range includes extra fuel to get 750 km in total. SU-25 has 3600 litres of fuel in internal tanks. For example SU-27 has almost 12 000 litres in internal tanks and uses more fuel efficient turbofan engines (offcoures without afterburning) and the range of SU-27 is 1390 km at sea level. Offcourse fighter vs bomber, you can't compare it. Just see those numbers A-10 - 4850 litres and capable of air refueling, F-15C (max ferry range) almost 31500 litres of fuel (about 7800 in external tanks) Well imho it seems SU-25 has relatively low internal fuel capacity against the other aircraft and plus it has less fuel efficient engines. That's for real life, not for the game. And i know that this is much more complicated than just ammout of fuel and type of engines, but still 2850 kg of fuel is not much.

The first photo is quite interesting. I didn't know that SU-25 is capable to be loaded up to 4 R-60 missiles.

Well, this SU-25 belonged Czech republic (you can see a little flag on the tail) and this photo is probably from an air show which was also Czech republic. This is probably just loadout for a demostration.

I found this link, where you can see fuel consumption SU-25 vs A-10. http://www.kamov.net/versus/a-10-vs-su-25/ SU-25 vs A-10 Fuel: 3600 litres vs 4850 litres Max range: 1350 km vs 1500 km. Quiet interested indeed. I also found that SU-25 fuel consumption is huge. IMHO if this is game is based on real data...then the reasons why your SU-25 can't fly so far W/O external fuel tanks are. 1. Loadout : already discussed here 2. Engines... A-10 is using turbofan jet engines, they are quiet fuel efficient even at low altitudes and when your throttle is not 100%, they are really efficient. SU-25 is using turbojet engines, like someone said here, this is engine from MIG-21 W/O afterburner. This engine is NOT fuel efficient at low altitudes. You will burn fuel much faster than A-10 in the same low altitude. If ED is using real data which they includes types of engines, different fuel consumption for different engines and altitudes and ....... This maybe the be reason why we have our fuel tanks empty so fast :D
