Well, you could have decent fight, as mig is faster, and as soon as you get to the merge, you'll have a big advantage.

Theses pics come from edge, so you'll have them in few months

Well, If I remember SU-25T only has an AFM+, not a pfm (though you wont notice the differance) but the F15 and (future Su27 should be a little better.

You need to assing axes from Warthog Combined Cons of target for me (you already know the good side : more buttons and button combination : exemple a 1-push button to eject) : Key corruption/malfunction : i had set the S1 buton for gun mode in F15 and after 10 minutes, cargetr kind of corrupted and that button was now opening canopy (always great to trow a canopy at the opposent in a dogfight...) 2-the need to have more programs running (not a biggie, but still its a disaventage) that only what i got so far, but the canopy was enough to discourage me, as I spend maybe 10 hours into target setting commands...

There are servers for noobs, so try finding a place were people are at your level first, after go on the big servers (where skills are mixed, from not understanding rwr to «get pownded kid»).

I know the F15E is separated (or D maybe??) he wouldnt have told his navigator to eject if it was synced I guess (and theres other videos of similar events) 2cd edit XD Also see the F15 pilot who survived supersonic ejection

I heard that tuning the fight into a vertical fight was good, not sure how or if its true though...

New attack style edit : cant figure out how to do this so...

Honestly, you dont need charts at other heights, as you'll never dogfight at 50 000 feets. BUT if you really want it, see the image and look into the manual as excocet said. Keep in mind that the su27 is going to receive PFM, so its flight characteristicks will change ( wich is great as 50% of them will stall doing the cobra XD). As for dogfight list, this is variable as mig23s arent online so you have to judge the AI... Personnally : 23, 29 (i'll run out of fuel as long as you can extend a bit), 33, 27.

Don't want to be pesimistic, but if you wait for the f-18 you have a hell of a patience...I doubt i'll be before 2016.

Theres this one about the A2A loadout. edit (sry just realised i didnt let cobra start :/)

wow thats a lot of toys to play with :D

Can't you just remove the other type? Or is it needed after?

I HIGLY doubt i'll have r33s when you have a 30 kms radar XD (not sure about the radar)

Thanks, i'll do that :) and no, 4,5,6 AIs don't do much, they just fire at Rmax and wait to get shot down...

WHAT?? Am I stupid or radar is THE biggest advantage of the F15s era against older generations? Even with RWR, you can't have BVR without semi-active/long rage guidance.

But the point of this thread was HOW do you PRACTICE, not how to evade, thats mainly what i wanted to know.

I guess you want commentaries on it if you posted it, so i'd say to use more stable cameras, or to make it feel more realistic. That feelt like i was replaying a track and watching with my mouse. But ,maybe thats what you wanted, anyway nice 1st movie :) Also, what the hell was the su-27 pilot doing XD.

thx :)

After reading the FC3 manual, indept threads, more threads, video tutorials, etc. I now know that at high altitude you must go down to evade a mssile, that If you are locked, you can go to the opponent's 3 O'clock and down to notch etc. But the problem comes when I pratcice my missile evasion. I tried doing a 4v1 gunfight vs missiles (me with guns) and I pown AIs, but when I just try to evade missiles, I evade a bunch, then get hit. Sadly, AI training isnt that great against real player and AI missile evasion run often turns out in «wainting for dumb AI to shoot at me, evading 1st missile, going straigt at him, merged, evading a R-73 (I'm an F-15 guy), merged, evading another R73, than dogfight in wich I do not shoot and last until i'm tired...» Other times i'll be dead before the 1st hit because I had a jugment error. I don't want to practice going full defensive because : in 1v1 i'll just end up in a dead race were i'll either get shot or run out of fuel, and AIs just go back to their base... SO, HOW DO YOU PRACTICE FOR MISSILE EVASION efficiently?? also, are you supposed to see the missile as some tactics rely on pulling High G's at the last moment, wich I only find possible with labels on? I have never found any thread about this, so i hope this will be helpfull to others than me.

F-86 (lol ur 2 posts)

same 100%, but one comes with other planes...

Geat, i'll be sure to buy one :)

Try washing your joystick with soap and wather (use your brain, don'T soak it XD ) in case you're lets say allergic to dust (very frequent) or something like that. Its cheap and might work. Other wise buy a G suit-like thing and put gloves on and you'll look bad ass XD
