    Where are you recalling from? Not Tom Coopers book? When did the -29 incident occur?
  2. turkeydriver
    They didn’t lose 20 cats lol. The A was fine in the beginning but they adapted pretty quickly and as long as they knew tomcats were inbound they could counter the missile. A 50 percent war time hit percentage is excellent, even today. That’s a very effective weapon. Only IR weapons up close can hope for better success without flares coming into play.

    It should be more like 78nm for TWS

    Most of the Iraqi targets did not have any RWR or only rudimentary. No one in the world had experience against an active radar missile during the Iran-Iraq War. You fly against AI in DCS that incorporates tactics against active radar missiles. It is that simple. If we could set AI by training depth and calendar year instead of "novice" and "ace" you would have the results you are looking for. An Iranian tomcat against a MiG-23S in 1979 vice against a Su-27 in 1998 are very different scenarios.

    You're going through your start up and start hearing "Avion" for the first time is a bit of a shock

    Just to be annoyingly clear. Having the radios tuned doesn’t allow transmit. You need to select either the green or red radio by pushing that button in- then use your transmit button. Your red radio will not transmit when this happens.

    excellent thank you for making this!

    Those TCTS pods are loaded far too aft

    Let me be more clear on this. Deployed- they were retained. Many peacetime photos and references show them removed for the specifics of drag and fuel economy. In this sim we are mostly simulating a wartime scenario so pylons would be retained- should have thought this through before posting.
  12. turkeydriver
    Real world scenario is NOT empty pylons remaining. The wingtip rails were often removed as they do increase drag. They were kept if a Magic training round was loaded. I have seen a few pictures of a jet flying with empty rails, but by and large at least from photo evidence the pylons were removed in French service. Other operators may have retained them to be able to load them quicker.

    I am more than happy to edit operation reforged to make the aircraft and weapons more accurate with the timeline.  If not, I’ll just edit them on my own (no distribution) and enjoy them.  Again the scripting and story and missions are incredible!!!  I just like seeing 1990 Hornets act like 1990 Hornets

      Give me a week but I’ll compile a loadout report by mission.  I don’t know if the AI will use SLAMs with the datalink pod.  This would be a useful alternative to the JSOWS.  I changed the loadout to GBU-16s with ATFLIR(thinking Nitehawk pod) and the Hornets do not use them- at least in that mission.  It’s the TALD escort mission with a lot of cruise missiles.  Pretty much every mission also has an ACMI pod on a wingtip as well and no amraams or Sparrows.  The ACMI pod and odd loadouts are in every mission where the Hornets are strikers.  I also loaded half of the hornets with 2 HARMs whenever they were strikers.  This almost made the missions too easy though

      Im good with the alternate timeline Navy IOC for the AIm-120 wasnt until 1993.  This is rivet counting, just making sure you know.  The Sparrows work great

      Oh yeah, I know ofc when the amraam was brought to service, but I had to move it up in the fictional timeline, as mentioned above.

      Also thank you for your input and feedback, it is much appreciated.

    The Magic and Sidewinder can use the same wing mounting bolts and electrical connections BUT NOT THE SAME RAIL. This is IRL confirmed. The Magic uses the LM39 Rail and the AIM-9 uses the AERO 3B, called the ADP-8 in Spanish service. They are different rails. What the Dassault manual means when they are compatible means the mounting bolts for the rail to the actual wing and the electrical connectors are the same, NOT the rails.

    100 percent this. Also there are two LHDa with 6 AV-8Bs a piece. Put 8 of them in the air supporting the Marines. Use the FC3 A-10A, the A-10C did not exist yet. I change the missions to be more historically accurate every patch. in spite of this- triggers, immersion, story, flight areas are excellent and top notch
