I did a very quick test with "competitive" BFM fuel setting (71% for F-15 and 55% for Su-27) which gives them same endurance on full AB at 5000m (things might have slightly changed since these settings were tested last time) and 2 heat seeking missiles. F-15 could sustain ~18deg/s at ~460KCAS and Su-27 could sustain same ~18deg/s but at ~325KCAS so Flanker could turn as fast as Eagle while doing it inside Eagle's turn circle. If that's not an turning advantage for Su-27 then i don't know what is.

It's Passive Active Sensor (PAS) display (aka 'the pad') and initially is/was used for Siniper pod (ANG at least) and later as an bigger and better SA display. That's basicly the info i gathered from two different Combat Aircraft articles.

Back to original plans then. Post #15 updated. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3300017&postcount=15

Ok, here we go. ;) For SATAL 2018 SF Squadron and 100-й КИАП (100 KIAP) have formed a coalition known as Task Force KSAW (KIAP SF Air Wing). Why? To have a solid team without need to worry about number of available people. But also, IMO more importantly, we can learn a lot from each other to become better virtual pilots. And of course, to have FUN! :) See post #15 for roster etc. Good luck to all teams and see you soon! :pilotfly:

Roses are red, violets are blue. Eagles are deadly, Flankers are too. What you're gonna do when KSAW comes for you? More info to follow soon. :music_whistling: :D

Awesome event! I really like these massive guns only fights. :D My best round from yesterday: P.S. No wonder we lost this tight round since i had to kill one guy 3 times :P (unless game got bugged and showed wrong names ofc)

Looking even better now! :thumbup: I would also like to know this.

Wow, this looks really nice! :thumbup: I'm also curious to see if there is any other controls on front side of the grips other than that one button and antenna elevation wheel(?) we can see on those pics. Also are those hats on throttle all 4 way or more or are some of those 2 way hats?

So, to who we (contact persons) need to send email address, you or Tek? I'm asking because it says Teknetinium on first post.

So far i have done any dogfighting with and against harrier two times and with that little experience i have got so far i think light weight harrier is a nasty plane to fight against even in F-15. In my opinion VIFFing + AIM-9 is what makes it so dangerous in dogfight but without VIFFing or at guns only it's not that great and with energy tactics it's quite easy to defeat. But at slow speed turning fight light weight A-10 might be only jet that can challenge harrier. (haven't tested them all so i can't say for sure) Here's a simple video i made showing some fights from our DACT session against F-5, A-10 and F-15.

Worked, reconnecting twice got rid of all stutters. Thanks a lot! :thumbup:

Same here. All public servers i have tried had horrible stuttering for me, but if i was hosting there wasn't any problem. I even tried unistalling harrier but that didn't help neither so i guess it's not a harrier thing.

I don't mind at all, you can use it if you want to. :) Looking forward to your compilation video, i really enjoyed the previous ones. :thumbup: Regarding pre-merge rules, i agree with Stuge here. Pre-merge tactics are essential part of BFM if you ask me. And if both pilots do what they should be doing you are going to have neutral merge anyway so i don't see a problem there. That being said i don't have anything agaisnt the rules we used last saturday neither. Whatever the rules are going to be in future, just clearly state them before the tournament so we know what to expect and we can train accordingly. I must say that i really enjoyed the medium altitude start though, i find it more interesting and realistic than start at the deck. :smilewink:

Thank you guys! Still can't believe i actually won. :D Here's how it all looked from my perspective (minus two draws and one collision at merge). ~S~ to all my opponents and pilots who took part at 1vs1, it truly was a pleasure! See you all next weekend for 2vs2. :pilotfly:

No email for me neither.

On video it says 90 000 sq miles but on video description it says 90 000 sq km. Which one is correct?

On this mission F-15s have AIM-9P5s instead of 9Ms, hopefully not on purpose. Also F-15s spawn 10 miles from each other while on mission editor the distance is ~21 miles.

Two short clips showing gunshot desync between shooter and spectator (no hits on my view but target takes damage). Simple BFM mission, no ground units or AWACS at all and only few people on server with low pings. Not the most drastic examples, but when doing dogfights even small desync matters.

It's missing the launcher though. Or is it possible to carry them without one?

I still use it. Maybe we should try without to see if there's any difference.

Also up and down movements makes planes warp which makes formation flying to look really stupid and annoying. High ping seems to increase the effect, but it happens even with low pings.

Match info on bracket says that our match against Team China should be on our server, is that correct or typo?
