BRILLIANT haha

ok thanks, any rough eta on the api update?

and me! that blew me away!!!! i was expecting a tenth of that range i dont think the sun counts lol

ah ok, i put it down to an interesting coincidence. what were you reffering to when you said youre gonna fix it next patch? thats not quite teh same as we experienced. we rippled fired 2 phoenix (so 3-4 seconds between launches) and the 2nd 1 went stupid before the 1st was due to go active. it was probably sjust a coincidence but il keep an eye on it in future

So it is a thing andnot just a coincidence? Ok, whats the problem?

we normally like to operate at 35k, last night we had 8 chinese bombers coming in for a shipping strike at 5k. i DID get tws lock at 170 whcih really surprised me but it was patchy and i really didnt fancy our chances of making those shots from that high. we went down to 10k ish iirc and took 2 head on shots each (long story) from 20 miles or so. thats when i noticed the 2nd shot everybody fired going stupid

love that show. even the ones i dont think il find that interesting always turn out to be great, mainly due to the people involved i think if hes a politician then thats a done deal!

we flew w mission last night and 1 thing that jumped out at me was how slow the phoenix now is on the deck and just how much speed it bleeds compared to the amraam in a straight line its pretty brutal! is the phoenix accurate now or not? if thats the case does that mean the amraam is too slippery? or is that accurate too? another thing i noticed is 3 double tws launches (by 2 different people) all resulted in the 2nd missile going stupid early/instantly, obviously its way too small a sample size to draw any concrete conclusions from (looking at you people who say the phoenix was junk because 2 out of 3 fired by the us failed) but i found it interesting to see

yoo ever seen/heard a vulcan fly? WHAT a sound!. the loudest thing ive ever heard/felt was a b1b back in the mid 90s, i was stood maybe 100-200 metres away from 1 idling and christ it was deafening. when it took off the ground shook! the vulcan is 2nd on the volume list even though i was MUCH further away but that howl, my god that howl!!!! and yes id LOVE vulcan in dcs haha

whats the reason for not waiting till guidance is fixed?

rgr

any truth to this?

so its gonna be more of a handfull at high aoa in future? ooooooh

did any naval phantoms have the internal gun?

seen, thanks

HAHA SIMPLE

what is command inertial? short version is fine.

is the cat going on sale for steam? if so when and how much?

so whats the consensus on the fm and performance atm? spot on or are there things that need tweaking?

oh thats easy, ask the crew who got shot down day 1. you mean his uncle? haha

i get the distinct impression im being a bloody idiot here but im still not getting it lol. how does the weight difference effect the total energy? yeh im a brit, i picked the vulcan because its just a fantastic machine

i misremembered the question. same power different weight. the same applies though doesnt it?? a vulcan bomber has 80k lb of thrust at full chat but has way less than 1:1 p/w an f16 has less than half that power but id bet it would climb vertically MUCH better than the bomber, same physics apply dont they?

the question statres 2 effectively identical ac doing th esame thing. 1 has less power than the other, so surely the 1 with less power loses

how would the same ac with less power have the same vertical performance? surely itd be the same effect as taking 1 ac doing 2 climbs, 1 in ab and 1 in mil power?? im genuinely confused

it would be great if the pilot could drop a flare with 1 button and chaff with another! no idea if its realistic though
