Amraam integration was deemed too expensive.

Yep, but if dcs was a religion "everything is subject to change " would be the 1st line of the holy book lol So let's not hold our breaths. On another note, the wait is killing me.

Depends on how far you are and where you approach from Got a Ka50 with R13m1 approaching from behind. A10s are tough though.

Need to try the R60m. Only killed helos and A10s with them, need to try them on fighters.

Super 530D/F I'd say.

I defeated a missile with my CM once...in months flying the 21. As my main defence is hiding behind the terrain, nothing says more "hey I'm here! " than a trail of flares.

Thanks! I use 2xR3r + 2xR13m1 + 800l fuel tank + jato

The moment where Mig 21 are rocking :D

Haha. That's gonna happen!

Day one purchase. Most definitely. Its my duty as a French citizen XD

Once its released, as we say in french, ca va chier des bulles!!!

Thank you for your hard work. I just can't wait!

I feel like flying my Mig now. Oh wait bad weather this week end. Excuse found haha.

At those ranges I would say the relative motion between the seeker and the mig is not big enough to make the missile loose the lock.

I don't agree on that, taking a F15 head on (against a pilot tracking you) never works for me, a slammer to the face every time. At those ranges the amraam is pitbull right after the launch. No need to support the missile I think. The only chance is masking behind the terrain. But coordination between mig 21s can do wonders against modern jets.

Interesting thought, I wonder what happens too if the launching plane breaks lock before the missile is pitbull, will it keep its course until pitbull where hopefully the onboard radar will pick a target? I think it's possible to shoot an amraam in boresight mode in the general direction of the enemy, the missile will then track which ever targets it finds. This doesn't really have a big Pk I think, it's more like a defensive shot. In DCS they can only be shot slaved to the radar I think.

haha, but as everyone flies at tree top level now pointing my nose down can be a bad investment lol indeed :) I haven't tried to shoot them in situation requiring high maneuverability tbh, I usually wait for my opponent to make a mistake and get a nice rear shot.

This. We get our kills, using our enemy's mistakes, over confidence kills, no matter what you are flying. The sim might not fully reflecting reality, it still takes a lot of skills and patience to be decent in the 21. I'm not even halfway there myself.

Will do. In my personal xp it doesn't work when the target is below me, ie won't find it (-1.5 degrees being the max it can see at) Cool. Haha not anymore .

To be honest I dont think I shot down much F-15 head on, the slammer comes to the face often in those situations. I dont even carry CMs any more they don't do anything, my only bet is hiding in the terrain early on, other wise I'm doomed. Not sure we have it "really good", because of lack of range, limited radar, poor vis and stuff. I get your point though. I'm all for more realism so I'm very fine with amraams being "as they should be" (whatever it is, im no expert) You are in the ED tester team, this was never forwarded to the devs (too much drag etc...)? I might be wrong but you seem quite unpleased with the fact that Mig 21s can kill F-15s in the game. Like it's not our fault as 21 users we didnt make it this way. I hope there will be no hard feelings, it is not my intention. PS : my only amraam experience is with Falcon BMS where they seem to behave quite differently, they are a lot more effective and seem to be simulated more deeply. I don't really use the F-15 in DCS. off the top of my head: against a Mig 29 the DCS F-15 Misses at 9nm, the falcon gets a kill at 17nm (manuvering targets, both using AIM120B)

Thanks guys!

Emergency landing due to fuel being very low during a session on the 104th. The voices in the background are Riptide from the 104th doing GCI and the other pilots there that day. Those are pretty cool events, you should take part if you have the chance.

Went to Kislovodsk to hunt A-10 yesterday, only got one, it was at night and they are tough to spot. But after a few minutes the A-10 pilots started to freak out and shoot at each other lol, they lost one more A10 due to friendly fire haha.

Thanks! Good job on that kill despite the engine problems!

Your video doesnt work Zomba. Some more kills on the 104th, this time 2 in a short row:
