Why not throw in an A7D, as AI, that would make my day complete....:icon_jook

Yes you will.

Could you send me the mission?

When he hosts a mission? Or just if he is on hyperlobby?

Just out of curiousity, Mizzy, are you absolute shure you put the speed indicator, in the mission editor to the max? I make missions on a regular bases, and know for shure the Foxbat fies at maximum speed.

The wellknown G-Spot.....:icon_weed

The most shocking thing about the video is the slow d/l rate....

Dice, good seeing you around here again!! :biggrin:

It's part of an article written by John Sponauer I found somewere on the net one day.

"In early 2002, rumors circulated among A-10 units that they were destined for Afghanistan; three prepared for deployment. In July, however, members of the 103rd and 104th FW were summoned to Langley AFB for a surprise; they were not going to Afghanistan after all, but instead preparing for a special mission in the looming Iraq conflict. Using a targeting pod called LITENING II, they were to hunt ballistic missile launchers in western Iraq and support special operations there. For an aircraft designed so austerely that it didn’t originally have an autopilot or internal navigation system, LITENING was a huge leap forward. It allows pilots to designate targets for laser-guided bombs (LGB), view targets up to 30 miles away through infrared and camera optics, and accurately determine target range and location. The only prior targeting system in the A-10 was the eyeball; its primary weapons, the 30mm. GAU-8 cannon, unguided bombs, rockets, and AGM-65 Maverick missiles. By fall, two aircraft and key personnel were in Nellis AFB, Nevada. Under cover of night, jets were modified to accept LITENING. There was no manual for doing so, but after a day of running wires and integrating the pod, they were ready to try the new “eyes.” Following successful dry runs at Nellis with special operations, a combined unit of 18 aircraft from Connecticut and Massachusetts deployed in February to a still-undisclosed Middle Eastern base. Col. Fred Miclon, then 103rd Maintenance Group commander and with more than 20 years of experience with A-10’s, was one of about 35 advance personnel. “This was a bare bones, austere location,” he said. “Fortunately, the aircraft is pretty rugged, and we worked hard to set everything up. Within about 10 days, we had 800 people supporting us.” When war came, the Hog drivers in the west dropped laser-guided bombs, assisted special operations, and as the situation developed, provided close air support near the dam at Hadithah, Iraq. They flew 3,100 combat hours during 900 sorties, without damage from enemy fire, and became the first A-10 pilots to drop laser-guided bombs in combat."

That's why the 355th love doing it Hoggystyle!! :biggrin:

What you CAN do however is CCRP bombing, and giving "your" target to your wingman, thus creating an effect that resembles the "buddy-lasing"tactics... remotely

And then we get all the goodies we have been whining for, just look at what we got now, and that on a "borrowed" engine, hehehe, imagine this, ED has had enough time to figure out their own bases, have a more than decent addon, and can build on it for the next couple of years...

Exactly, that's what I was trying to say....

I said Lockon Subs..... Lockon...

You 2 sound like a couple of women.....:icon_weed

Hey, that says more about the pilot than the sim right?

No, ED will not make a 2 seater sim, for the time being, and as stated before, manymanymanymany times, the F18, along with a DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN will not see daylight in Lock-on.

"Moving grass".................:icon_weed as long as they not running too fast....

Í just came out of the 504 server, and had 4 out of 4 Mav hits. Earlier on I engaged an S300 site, they focussed on my maverick, I could bomb the site, using 97's. You dont get painted directly after take off by long-range samsites anymore, you do however need to use your weaponry more efficiently, the Mav is not the one shoot-one hit wonder we are used to have, but overall, IMO, it is a fair reflect on reality. And popping up on targets has never been so good as it is now!

Ah!! Thank the good Lord in heaven, yet another DC thread!! :icon_eek:

HEY!!! HEY!!!! No more cruelty over the back of the Hog, or this thread will be locked..........:icon_weed

Hogzilla!! An all AFM A-10 !! :biggrin:
