504smudge

extract from wiki The aircraft carries a substantial load of weapons in four external hardpoints under the stub wings plus two on the wingtips, a total of some 2,300 kg depending on the mix. The main armament are the twelve laser-guided Vikhr anti-tank missiles with a maximum range of some 10 km. The laser guidance is reported to be virtually jam-proof and the system features automatic guidance to target enabling evasive movement immediately after missile launch. The fire control system automatically shares all target information among the four Black Sharks of a typical flight in real time, allowing one helicopter to engage a target spotted by another, and the system also can input target information from ground-based forward scouts with man-portable target designation gear. The integrated 30mm cannon is semi-rigidly fixed on the helicopter's side, movable only slightly in elevation and azimuth. The aircraft's agility allows the weapon control system to turn (the entire helicopter and) the cannon at the target acquired in the pilot's helmet sight about as fast as the cannon turret of the Apache or the Mil-28 turns. The semi-rigid mounting improves the cannon's accuracy, giving the 30mm a longer practical range and better hit ratio at medium ranges than with a free-turning turret mount. 'The fire control system automatically shares all target information among the four Black Sharks of a typical flight in real time, allowing one helicopter to engage a target spotted by another, and the system also can input target information from ground-based forward scouts with man-portable target designation gear'

im going to see the vulcan fly at fairford this weekend... i'll post my photos here for anyone who is interested http://www.patricksaviation.com/in/79?i=yt2

EH??? is that a 'times 2'

I don't know if this has been asked already but is there any plans to sort out the SPAWN problem with the aircraft carrier, when you spawn in with the SU33 online only 1 person can at a time. is there any plans to sort out this so maby upto 5 or 6 can spawn in on the parking bays?

found this on patricks nice vid of the KA-50 http://www.patricksaviation.com/in/79?i=zqc nice one of the NEW su25 scorpian aswell http://www.patricksaviation.com/in/79?i=GVr

would it not make it more interesting, more fair/skilled to have no AIM120's or R77's

i guess you need to manage your 'energy' better i.e dont bank to hard stay within the 20 degree bank limits and hold your speed. i very rarely get shot down by A-10's there just to damn slow

yeah i know you can use a Kh-58 against a ship but you can also use the Kh-41 on the SU33

are you sure! i dont think so

WOLVERIE!!!!!! lo buddy jeez long time glad to hear your ok and get your arse back to teh sqn thats an ORDER

well im for sure going to wait about 6-12 months and wait to see if the patches and endless updates help and make it worth while
