But still under 12 miles you can go defensive while remaining offensive!

Which is the tricky part when flying the Su27. You cannot be offensive while defensive. But in the F15 or Mig29S you can, because both the AMRAAM and AMRAAMsky are fire and forget.

Care to explain that?

BTW - Can it go inverted?

Does it come with and air sickness bag :thumbup:

No need to de-active. As long as you don't install on a different OS/PC, and as long as you do not format your HDD then there is no need for de-activation. If you reinstall now you will NOT be asked to activate again.

Tail number for me deffo! :(

So I'm not the only one experiencing that! On a squad night I had an AMRAAM making a barrel roll around me once, then it passed, turned around and it hit me!

I need to check this out! Free for all, spamming missiles! Sounds like fun! :joystick:

I've been discussing tactics with a few of my squad members about the Su27 vs F15. One vs. One. My squad mate Fudd, he likes to go high with his eagle and I'm talking about 50,000ft +. The Su27 can do the same in FC2, because of the engine tweak! But that's not what you want to do! Because the F15C has a few massive advantages you need to be aware off: It can launch silently with TWS mode. The defense against this is to turn on your ECM. But the F15c will HOJ shot you, and those launches are silent as well. And once the F15 has burn through it can use TWS again (Is that a bug BTW, or is that realistic??). So in a 1 vs. 1 engagement no matter what you do you will always have a silent AMRAAM heading your way without a launch warning. Yes, it might seems a bit unfair, but just live with it! So if you are flying at high altitude it is more or less suicide. Because the closing speed is very high (otherwise you will drop out of the sky at high alt) and because the AIM120 hardly looses any energy at high altitude. So I decided to fight at low altitude. Fudd (F15) was cruising at 14000 meter, and I (Su27) was down below at 5000 meters. I can launch override my R27ER's from a very long distance (70-80km). The ER will start climbing to thin air, and if the F15 does not change it's course it will suffer the consequences. As a result he needs to start descending, that's exactly what you want! You want him down at low altitude! Meanwhile you start descending slowly at low airspeed. Remember that I said you almost certainly have a silent AIM120 heading you way. So if you reduce the closure speed, by flying very slow, descending to thicker air and by constantly jinking you can evade long range AMRAAM's while keeping head on and a lock on your target! The F15 on the other had has to got defensive, because the range of the R27ER is much longer. There will be a time where you do have an AMRAAM your way which has been launched from much closer distance, you can still evade that one using your RWR and buckets of chaff! The trick is to fly very slow, to keep the F15 at long distance and to keep him defensive at all times. If the F15 makes a mistake you will kill him! Try to get closer and closer, keeping him defensive and finish him of with a single R27ET. Also the F15 will use a lot of missiles, and he might even run out! And if you stay far away from him you can easily disengage and escape if you feel uncomfortable about the situation. So that's what you want to do. Keep him at bay and at low altitude, after all you have the advantage in missile range! Oh and don't forget your G-warm up!! :smilewink:

I've tried flying the Su25 a bit. It seems to be easier in my view! She's more forgiving then in FC1

Great stuff! Have been looking forward for this!

And don't forget in FC2 the Su27 can get up to 12000 meter and above with relative ease. That's where you want to be when launching R27ER's :smilewink:

Yes, but it really looks unnatural. The range scale changes very rapidly from 5km to 10km and the entire left side of the HUD flashes as well! I remember in FC1 it was different.

In the Su33 when trying to fire S25 unguided rockets: If you place the targeting piper above the horizon, the range scale in the HUD will start flashing.

In the mission editor: I placed a Russian shilka. I wanted to place a target. I did NOT have any target YET, and I tried to increase the target zone radius.... BOOM! Crash to desktop!

Looking nice! Any idea when the 16000p x 12000p version is ready for download??

Then you have no payload or no electric power.

I wonder why they chose to make it with turboprops and not conventional jet engines...

Some nice skins there! Did you make them yourself??

I though it would be something like that, since the texture was only the background (without the text). Thanks for the reply!! :thumbup:

Patience my young padawan... patience! :smilewink:

Feel free to join the search for the thing that can't be found :smartass:

Nevermind. I give up. It's no where to be found. Just one of the many mysterious secrets DCS has :wassat:

Just a quick question here. I'm looking for the ADF channel table textures (look at the screenshot belong so you know what I'm talking about). I want to mod it a bit according to my own preference. I've been searching for hours. The only thing I can find is the white back ground it self in the Cockpit-Ka-50 TexturesEn.cdds, but I can't find the actual text. Does someone know where I can find it?? Thanks in advance :thumbup:
