  1. They are basically sttacking and we are defending, they make heavy use of terrain masking and it works frustratingly well. What is shorad?
  2. Nah this is our own mission on our own server, we do have a couple of guys who ca rio and im working on it but they fly on mission nightsusually. Wed LOVE dedicated rios but they seem to be rarer than rocking horseshit
  3. Low radius means high rate at low speed, i thought the cat was the daddy at that?. Whats the max (sustained) rate speed of the viper?
  4. I did it a few times in the 1st few days but then realised id lost too much speed and the aoa sky rocketed, now i find it difficult to flat spin even when i do want to lol
  5. What exactly is the f16s game? Rate fight? Nose position fight? Energy fight?
  6. Does manual sweep improve accelration though? Yehnits less drsg but wont the aoa increase causing more drag? I figured the cadc takes all,of thst into consideration so i rarely mess with it
  7. Flying low is the only thing i could come up with lol. Problem is theyre not trying to get me theyre trying to attack bases, they fly the entire sortie radar off and hiding in valleys, highest they go is approx 250 agl. Our awacs and therefore dl has been piss poor at finding them either. You get the occasional bra call and then pooof gone. I flew 2 hours last mission and never saw any of them once, never had anything in my tid either. Had msybe a dozen bra calls and that was it. Theres multiple groups on both sides spread all over the map. Tacview showed several times that we literally flew past each other within a mile or 2 haha, some other members of my team had more joy but wow its hard to find them using those tactics. Im in tomcat btw whch els lke hard work looking down over land
  8. As above i fly in a group who are very good at flying low leve using terrain maskingl into a targrt im defending using the tomcat, theyre incredibly hard to find down there. Anybody got any tips or tactics? The cat doesnt seem good at looking down into the weeds i rarely get anything on my scope even when it turns out im looking right at them
  9. what does elegance have to do with a knife fight? i do the wingsweep and flaps a little bit but nowhere near as much as him, i dont wanna break the flaps lol
  10. Could somebody translate this for me please, im struggling to work it iut
  11. So the max rate speed drops to 280 kts when very light?
  12. I know i can turn hard enough to black out at low fuel state, its eother around 350 knots or its accelerating to a speed where the g increasss but iv not check which
  13. Need more info kn this, thats bonkers turn rate
  14. i got more than that :megalol: i did it with a hornet driver under the same circumstances and he couldnt beloive how mental the cat was haha. i was facing the other way having finished the immelman and was on the way back donw BEFORE he was even vertical hahaha
  15. Just for shits and giggles we were testing something with jnvincibility on and i decided to test the cat. Mach 1.3 on the deck and full back stick. Guess what peak g and peak turn rate was, hint both were ridiculous lol Ps oddly i didnt black out. Nearest guess gets sod all but internet points
  16. How do they measure it over 10gs? The gauge only goes to 10 doesnt it?
  17. I havnt tested it properly, but i do sometimes switch it on and havnt noticed any difference
  18. Because rios are like hens teeth! We have 1 guy in our squadron and im starting to learn it a bit but boy wed love more rios! Wed gladly take 3 or 4 full time rios if anybodies interested hint hint
  19. left side but again thanks for the idiot guide, il get practising this:pilotfly:
  20. very helpful thanks, dont know what/where the cap drum is though :megalol: is it the scratchpad i use for ins input at startup?
  21. so i have to get an stt lock to get an iff response?
  22. Manually? So how do i identify it as friend or foe?
