Lol. Sorry mate, didnt check. :lol: :)

It doesnt mention the capability of the Su-27 to use the R-33. Hmmm, the russian hardware it quite misterous. But anyway the Su-27SK is an export version. More misterious is the fact that ED decided to implement A2G capability on the standard Su-27 but I dont have any source that indicates that the Flanker-B can carry such weaponry. I have a list of ALL versions of the Flanker:

Maybe I´m the only one surprised by this statement, I thought that the west hadn´t looked at the Su-27 more than in photographs or airshows. Or at least, nothing they would publically admit. Never heared of it. Still its weird. Is your source secure?

hmm... I was checking a website about the russian aircraft and found an interesting matter. But I doubt that the Su-27 can support this missile since if such was the case, we would already be able to use it. :arrow: Source: http://aeronautics.ru/archive/vvs/ Hey Alfa, what can you tell us about this?

Roger that. Thanks for the reply.

Er...dumb question, but where is the (Right)Win button on the keyboard? :shock: Can't find it....

Dont worry Flanker. Brit is a british, and I think that says it all :weedman: .

Here I go! :twisted:

YES! There is a place in Bangkok that SELLS pirated copies of games, musics and movies. LOMAC is on the shelve along with iL2: FB and PF, Wings over Vietman and etc. No problem in getting pirated copies in Poland, also now you can d/l allmost every program if you only have p2p programs. It is the sad true :? Same here in Portugal. Already had consequences, like the delay of X-Box live, due to high piracy. P2P programs, copied material, you name it. Piracy rules here, and worst, it is starting to be a "normal" thing. :shock:

Very true. Sorry I forgot about the Typhoon. :?

Lol, I got owned then. When I first read what you wrote, I thought "w00t? Su-27 ass-kicked by Mig-29?Hows that possible!" :wink: Looks like my thinking was logic after all, only my reading was bad. :P

Lol. That only proved how those africans are fools. How can the Su-27 being completly ass-kicked like you said? Easy, the pilots were dogfighting with migs with 100% fuel. :lol: Im just kidding, don't take this post too seriously. :wink:

Im not saying that the fact that the threats that the F-15 faced were low-qualitiy is the reason why the F-15 has the 100:0. But that helped the Eagle to attain such record. Ok? But it is also a fact that the threats that it faced werent to its level. Thats a fact, and thats why technology counts today. The F-15 is the best fighter around after the F/A-22, thats a also a fact. Im only talking in the technological point of view, and btw, thats also a fact.

Look mate, im really tired of this discussion, so Ill make myself understand on my last post. You are missing my point. You REALLY missing ok? I was JUST giving an example. ROFLOL, in what were you thinking when you thought about comparing LOMAC and the F-15 combat record??? :roll: In my anterior post I JUST gave an example, on how to avoid the F-15 and WHY should I do so. Because LOMAC is a SIMULATOR, and because it is a SIMULATOR, it SIMULATES real life. So the AIM-120 is the most powerfull missile in LOMAC and the best missile in real life. Understood? I was just giving an example of how good is the F-15C, NOTHING more. Im sorry but im not missing your point, unless you want me to explain you what you said before. Yeah, that's what I said on my example about the target being at your 6 o'clock, but you must understand that warfare evolves. You know what that means? It means that the Eagle has fewer probabilities of shooting down an Su-27 than P-51 god damn it. Can't you understand that? Last night I was flying in IL2 and me and my friend got in trouble because our Spitfires couldnt caugh a Ta-150 german fighter, that was much more faster and could destroy using the "kick-and-run" tactic. I know that WWII is different scenario than modern air combat, but my example has the porpuse of telling you why the type of threat counts, and thats enough. But anyway ill give another example this time in modern air combat scenario. An enemy aircraft caughs you by surprise and comes right from your 10 o'clock high to you. What do you do? If you are in an Su-27 you the helmet mounted sight and fire an R-73. If you are in an F-15C you acelerate and try to get your nose towards the target and fire an AIM-9. So in this case the avionic of the plane that you're flying made the diference. Now imagine Floggers that dont have the precious mounted sight, in a dogfight against an F-15C vastly superior in speed and manoubrability?Not a chance, mate. Im not intersted. But that means that the threats are all classified tha same way? NO! they are classified by low, medium and high. So the better the plane the higher the threat. But why the hell are implying that I said that a Mig-23 is not a threat? I would really like to know. I said that such aircraft have lower probabilities of destroying an F-15. Of course if the Mig-23 is behind the F-15 the Eagle is probably going down. The coalition helicopters got destroyed by the old RPG-7. Its old, but since its not sensible to flares theres no way to escape to that threat. So, I never said that low threats werent threats, and my last sentence just proved what you meant in oyour post. :wink:

Im not ware of any combats of the Su-27. I know that one crashed on the Ukraine during an airshow, and that's all the action I know of the Su-27. The Mig-29 on the other hand, fought against the USAF several times, I think during the Blakans, in service of the Serbian airforce, a poor airforce we must admit. (light-quality pilot training, lack of maintenace for their aircraft.) WVR? Sorry for my ignorance but I dont what's that suppose to mean. Maybe its Close Air Combat (CAC) in other terms? A Flogger and any other aircraft are threats, as long as they are armed. And yes 3 miles is a very short distance for a fighter to be at your 3 or 9 o'clock. But how could the King of the Skies aka F-15C let the enemy get so near, when they have an AWACS in the air. Let me guess: ran of AMRAAMs? :roll: Well, I never refered to the pilot on my post. :wink: I only talked about the "airframe". I was comparing the type of aircraft used by the USAF and OPFOR. I usually do sir. Yeah I remember that Nighthawk incident, bad luck. Yup, I know that if the enemy fires you are in trouble. And as Russian aircraft pilot (in Lock On of course.) I know that better than you, since I have to avoid AMRAAMs sometimes more than one per mission. That's why I never enter in contact with any fighter armed with ARH. I always avoid frontal attacks, and stick on the shadow until the prey is ready to be shot down. (advantages of the EOS). But you must understand that in life there are probabilities, so the probability of being shot down by Mig-23 is far lower than being shot down by a Mig-29. Of course, it depends on the circuntances. I fyou get a bandit on your six and you don't that it is there, ten my friend, it can be Su-27, a Mig-29 , a Mig-23 or even an Su-17 that you are going to eat dust. :twisted: So you are telling em that the USAF pilots got lucky? You give me reason then. You are telling em that the F-15 pilots got lucky, and the others didnt? Are you trying to tell that it is the pilot the only factor to influence the air battle? I dont doubt that the USAF pilots are very well trained, and that is thanks to your goverment that injects a very generous amount of money for their armed forces, but you are damn wrong. The type of threat is important. Look at the F-15C RWR (?) it even indicates what is the threat. (if it is an Su-27 or a Mig-29.etc)

Easily? Well could do worse... but easily? ooooooooooooooookaaay. :roll:

Hi, I have a far inferior system than yours, and the demo runs quiet rightly on my system, but I confess, I have a very powerfull ventilation system. :D AMD Athlon 2400+ 2GHz, 512 Mb DDR 400MHz and GeforceTi4200 128Mb DDR.

Well, we could ask Eagle Dynamics for the 3D model. However we must understand that its their 3D Model, and only the modeler could have access to it. But anyway, as long as this requirement is met, then I dont see any reason for ED to not support a Mig-29K 3D Model project. We will have to wait for 1.1 to come out though. The dev.s are pretty busy right now with FC, so lets wait a bit, and them for Mig-29 3D Model.

Errr...I dont think so. I haven't seen the USAF to fight very good aircrafts. Sure the Mig-29 is a good fighter, but its a short range fighter. The F-15 is an interceptor, its primary function is to destroy targets in BVR. So, the AIM-120 takes the enemy down relatively easy. Also, in all wars in which the USA were involved, there was always an AWACS supporting the other aircraft. So, no, I dont think that destroying 100 targets without any loss, is a great achievement. Remeber that the USA also have one of the largest armies in the world, and numbers combined with technology, make a huge difference. :)

You use cockpit lights in daytime? :o

Huh? GGTharos you have the cockpit lights on? :shock: :twisted: :wink:

Wouldnt be a bad idea for ED to update the Su-25 (vanila) 3d model, so we could see the tires blown off etc. Alfa, you could ask to someone to make the Mig-29K model hein? :D

Its looking very good. :) Cant wait to get my hands on it. :twisted:
