You know, Cobra, I had a really hard time recently making someone believe the Viggen is an actual thing that isn´t "years off" because of the lack of any hard evidence to support my claim. I really made me feel like a conspiracy nut going "No, really, it´s supposed to come out reaaaallly soon!" "But there´s not even pictures." "I know, but they talk about it like it´s almost done.", "There isn´t even an official announcement, you sure they are working on it?" "Yes...I am very sure they are working on it." ... "But why haven´t they said anything then?" "...to torture us because someone spoiled their suprise..."

But you know all of these FBW pampered gamers who yell when the plane doesn´t fly on rails automatically for them XD I personally know a couple of those.

That´s because the Mig-21 wasn´t unsophisticated at all...it was a mainline Fighter/Interceptor, whereas the F-5 was never anything else then a cheap export aircraft XD. Although, I also find it odd it has absolutely none...guess you´ll just have to live with trimming. Good thing I´m a Redfor pilot, trimming is normal for me.

Turning 90 or 180° away from the missile is turning 90 or 180° away from the missile, no matter how far it is away. You were talking relative angular change, not aspect change. Aspect can change quite dramatically quite quickly.

What an entirely unexpected outcome. Looking forward to the next round.

Seconded. The 1-2 Setting might attempt to fire the wrong missile, aquires targeting data from the heater (thus, no lock, no launch authority)...switch to the specific pylon, and you should be fine.

Fixed. Still bought the F-5. Clickable FC-3 aircraft will be years from now.

If I can relate with what I have learned in Jets (and other simulators with props) about the high-alt modelling, I share some pointers. - Accelerate while still low-medium altitude. If you climb the fastest way up and then try to level out and accelerate you can forget it, thrust is so low up there that you will struggle to get to the speeds needed to maintain a decent performance. - Service ceiling doesn´t mean that the aircraft will be confortable in anything below that. - Keep your speed high, you need the lift. - Relax on the stick inputs, stall speeds are amplified my a large margin. - Fighting against AI up there is harsh because as you´ve noticed, they just use SFM and won´t care about your struggle. Players will have a different experience. And why are the bombers flying at 30000 feet? I thought B-17s typically operate somewhere under 20k with bombs and fuel? That´s a much more reasonable altitude for you to fight in aswell. Maybe the mission designer was just being a capital D.

IF I read this chart correctly, I see just over 6 G at Sealevel at 0.9 M at 55.000 lbs... That is IF I even interpret the chart correctly. The Eagle boys will be quick to remind me this is just for a "warning system" and of course you can break the safe limits all the time no Problem.

All missiles flight profiles are borked, making this not an Amraam-only issue. Active and IR missiles atleast track their targets more reliably during lag issues, when SARH will go stupid immediately. My favorite loadouts are also the 80ies loadouts. Relies less on Server or weapon capability but more on Pilot and Aircraft capability. Needs more of that.

Haben wir uns bereits auf nen Termin einigen können?

Because the Maverick is a stupid, stupid missile that, in real life, liked to give you a solid lock and then go "This road/rock/dead tank looks like a target aswell" and just hit the dirt. It´s sensor is also not the bestest, which is why it´s not instantly locking some target. Also, imagine your Mav locking on to everything in your path, buildings, bridges, civilian cars... You´d hate that feature.

The CDU can also be used to sent hilarious text messages to other Hawgs.

If they´d like the Eagle, there wouldn´t be a massive drop in player count when Armament gets limited. There also wouldn´t be whining threads when they are forced to experience the same bullshit, lag induced missile-goes-stupid crap Flankers have to deal with on a daily basis as soon as you take away their God-missile. SARH missiles are borked and have been for ever, it´s just that Eagle drivers don´t tend to notice. Eagle drivers sometimes... Like this dude<.< How about we introduce the same shit for the Eagle? Or do you think it´s systems worked perfect 100% of the time? How about we make your internal jammer fail all the time and melt out your aircraft after a couple minutes of use even when it works correctly? That´ll be realistic acourding to Pilot reports and maintainence but everyone would flip their shit. Meh...

Well they said that May is their crunchtime to get as much Viggen stuff done as possible. And while I am not a big fan of Crunchtime (it is highly taxing on the mind and body), I understand they don´t have much time inbetween to just blurt out an update post. Wait until after May, is my guess. Oh and Leatherneck, make sure you guys rest if you´ve been actually going through crunchtime, don´t get burned out and disillusioned because in the end, it´s not worth getting sick and depressed for our sake. I mean it.

Don´t know if someone already mentioned this, but...refuel while you repair? It cuts down your combined refuel time tremendously.

You sure it carries AMRAAMs? Only ever seen sources mention AiM-7. On Topic: I´m so far happy with the current lineup...not going to tell them how to do their job, but if they turn into a VEAO and announce ten aircraft and we wait for all of those for 5 or 6 years, the amount of hype and ill-will will mount to great heights. Eastern aircraft would be most desirable, for me, honestly.

Hab mich mal eingetragen.

Lol, the complaint was not about the setup or features of the server or money...the complaint was that I had been consistently lied to by the BS team over and over and over and now it´s reached a point where I don´t give a shit about anything they say anymore, as I am sure it will be false anyway. But I´m sure it´ll get ignored. Trying to stay constructive when being consistently ignored or lied to is a very fun objective, haven´t managed to do so yet.

I just ran out of lives and CANNOT slot into a GCI and continue helping the team. That was one of the features they PROMISED ME IS WORKING NOW! **** this shit. This is now the third outright lie that I´ve been told in my face. Why am I even trying?

The lost sales fallacy is very common and very false...there is no way to quantify if any action hurts the sales of a product because those that did not buy could simply have been not intrested in buying it anyway. Releasing one module after another of vastly different planes (one being a light AT-helicopter and another a light fighterbomber) can in no way be quantified in hurting each other in any way. I haven´t bought the Gazelle yet and I have no reason to grab it outright, maybe later in a sale sometime. But I´d probably buy the F-5...

Yeah Sweep, and we can obviously launch the MiG-29S out of every airbase we conquer right? Oh wait. Maybe that´s the deal? Mechanically, the Mirage is equal to the MiG-21 because THAT is the plane we get out of forward airbases...blue gets Mirage. We don´t get MiG-29, only as dumbass AI. But atleast they are better then the MiG-23.

Voted no. Might be a little childish, but it´s ugly as sin and can´t do much outside the light attack role, of which we already have plenty to choose. I´d rather see more 60ies/70ies jets.

Soviet planes would beg to differ...their huge wheels where made for rougher terrain. If it isn´t raining (and thus muddy) I think they should be able to atleast crawl around...but that´s not an expert opinion. I found that kicking rudder left and right at full power gets you free with all aircraft that have nose wheel steering...sadly, the MiG-21 doesn´t...
