in a recent encounter on the open conflict server i found myself with a missing wing. Fortunately I made the best of the situation, but I just didn't know why my wing went in the first place. It is to my understanding I would have had to exceeded 8gs for this to have happened, and the AOA seemed fine too(apparently not lmao). I don't doubt there is a reasonable reason for this to have happened, but at first I thought it was the enemy's missile

just a quick vid i put together. ended up getting a few kills before my fuel ran out :megalol:

F*ck the ASP anyways

The A-10 has finally met its maker. GROM'D. Thanks to Hadwell for the assist!

Really makes me want to get back in the air. Been so busy though.
Was that on 104? cause I want a tacview lol

but not trying to say F-15 pilots always use aim-120s, they don't.

Why wasn't I invited :(

Haven't been flying so much lately, been reeaal busy unfortunately. Last kill I had was pretty intense though.

I really need to start taking video. Last night I had 3 kills. (2 f15, 1 su-27) in one life, until I was nailed by AAMRAM. The su-27 was was very funny actually. I merged and got behind him and his reaction was just to put up a wall of flares which spoofed 3 of my r-60s. Then it appeared he ran out so I managed to stick my last r-60m in his rear end. The 2 f15s were handled with my r-3rs.
Other than that had one other r3r kill. One r3r hit nut didn't kill. And one r60m hit a target and he limped home.
I like the warhead and speed of the r-13m1, and hate the small warhead of the r-60,
Bit I like how I can double pylon the r-60m and there extremely maneuverable close in... Choices
On 104??? Damn lemme catch that replay
Do you have steam? You can add us both and play with us for sure. Thanks for the tip :)Anyway, I was being locked onto by other F15s, there were 4 or 5 in the area which is why Hadwell was saying "ruuuuuunnnn". I decided to stay for a kill, even though I knew I'd get shot down.
And yeah, taylor, I still have some things left to map, like the IFF button and SARH/IR selector. I pretty much don't play singleplayer so I have to launch it exclusively to map my keys (can't change controls in MP).
lucienlachanceii is my steam add me

...I'm very certain there are many many many less simulated aircraft out there.

I got my first kill as well yesterday! Took me a few missiles since I partially don't know what I'm doing but it's a kill either way :P
Ignore the background clicking (skype call with girlfriend), shitty sound and Hadwell's voice on teamspeak. I'm not very experience with recording/uploading).
Either way, I got shot down in the process as I was being suicidal cause I just wanted to kill someone :D
And yes, I really need trackir.
I always wanted to play with Hadwell :cry:
Well done man, was it SAMS that had you locked? You sacrificed your aircraft for the kill, but I guess F-15 pilots do that already anyways.
I actually got my first kill before my first death!Flying around the mountains with radar off - anxiously turn on for a quick scan. Multiple targets, IFF says one of em was an enemy. I lock on, fire the missile and Splash! Killed an F-15 on my first sortie. I was really glad.
Since then, however - no kills, only deaths :( So my first kill stayed the only kill for now.
Just remember to fly reeeal defensively. Be a complete coward in the aircraft and after enough sorties you will rack up kills.

As promised, here is the video:
tactic: I tried to stay low as possible and use the terrain as cover and very limited use of my own radar. I did switch on my radar once a minute for a quick scan and if I detect a target for IFF.
loadout: make the Mig as light as possible! 4 R-60 heat seakers, one on each pylon, 65% fuel and a centerline droptank.
What did I do? I switched on the radar for a scan once I pass the mountain in front of me. A contact! Quick IFF, ENEMEY! Immediatly I set the radar to standby. One second later my RWR freaks out, missile launch!
Now I do some things simultaneously: drop fuel tank, high 6g 90° turn into the valley next to me, deploy countermeassures. In the after battle report you get at the end of the track I saw it was an AIM-120C!
When I came out of the valley, the enemy F-15 just passes by directly abouve me. I go full force second stage of afterburner and end up on his low six o'clock! First R-60 failed (I think it went into the mountain in front of me) but the second killed his plane and the pilot. Epic win!
Pls. note that Track IR seems to not work in the replay, that's why the camera doesn't move.
Enjoy!
Very well done sir. Your TIR probably isn't working because you pressed an F key (F1-F-12). I've still yet to bag a fighter with an R-60 tho. How many times did he launch?

Off-Topic I know, but speaking of ka50
During summer 2013, the 51st was running Black Sea Redemption ( if memory serves me right). The Red Ka-50 base was only a 45 minute flight through the mountains and valleys to the blue a-10 base (Sochi). We used to make that flight, knock out one Sam radar that was dangerous to us, and we would sit there and plink taxiing A-10c's and sometimes even hit them just after they took off. Was a lot of fun until they put in a crap load of sam's in the valleys we would approach from, oh well.
Oh well, just reminds me a bit about the Mig-21. Sometimes we shouldnt be able to do what were doing but we do it anyway. And the feeling of success is that much greater.
Yeah that was well said. I used to fly the Ka-50 exclusively before the Fishbed. Beautiful times learning that thing actually lol

I know and I have no idea how you kill those poor -15's and -27's but you have my respect.
Have yet to be killed by one of you though. :)
your f-15 sucks bud
-
Oh, incidentally I wanted to add that you're not wrong about missiles 'going wobbly' - I'm just saying that this isn't what will necessarily happen.
HOWEVER! Here's a missile going nuts due to too many target in the FoV with correct spacing etc :D
... watch from 4:00neat video lol poor f-4s
-
Try it and see how it works out for you :)
You'll need a human flying the other plane though :)
It's already worked out for me :P
This further shortens the already limited cycle time of Soviet made engines between industrial-level overhauls and adds great cost, but the extreme thrust of CSR allowed the MiG-21bis to reach a better than 1:1 thrust-to-weight ratio for dogfight and outclimb the F-16. Yet, the older generation plane did not possess the advanced electronics suite and missiles of its rivals and its only success was a Syrian MiG-21bis damaging an F-15A Eagle during the 1982 war. -
It isn't even close. At least not with a modern, A2A configured F-16, and the MiG-21 certainly doesn't have the thrust to hang in a turn with an F-15 - that said, a good pilot could compensate if the other guy cooperates.
On the contrary, F-15C has a thrust to weight ratio of 1.03, while the MiG 21 is (roughly) 1.09 with emergency afterburners enabled. So yes, it can hang in a turn.

Thanks!
Not sure yet. Kinda out of ideas what to do.
Do a Mach 2 flight?
Do a bombing tutorial?
Combat tutorial?
I don't think you've done an ARK tutorial?

I'm still getting AOA spikes on the ground for some reason.

Very nice! I feel I must remark on some things, but my knowledge is limited so feel free to criticise. Assuming that is you: You wait an awful long time with firing the R3s when the bogey is coming straight for. The distance pippers aren't a terribly important measure, so long as they're headed into the center at a fast enough rate. Also, you place the target always a bit above crosshairs. I think you should ideally head straight onto it unless there's any chance of the target diving to use ground clutter, especially since it aids with acquiring a visual. Tossing the nose up before firing should afford the missile a bit more energy, so aiming constantly below the enemy seems like it'll often sap a bit of the edge from you.
I could be wrong on all accounts.
no need to fire out of range if you're not in danger. and the radar is upward looking, I find it is easier to maintain lock if they're above your nose.

2 x 2 kill sorties

more migs! :joystick::joystick::joystick:
or Yak 38!
Genuinely hoping for F-14 as well.
Su-27 wings falling off?
in Su-27 for DCS World

Ah, makes sense. As little as 5.5 is scary :cry: had to jink my aircraft back down when I lost track there too, I think that was at least a contributor, in that it forced(not really) me to increase my speed slightly, and make a higher strain maneuver to get over the incoming missile. I've probably just got to take better care.
If there is some kind of graph for wing load for the extremely aerodynamic and agile su-27
