MadTommy Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 After a few flights in the Su27/33 to get my HOTAS setup i decided to check out the F15 to see what it was like. Oh dear I almost wish i hadn't, after always flying the Flankers in Flaming Cliffs i simply can't bare the non 6dof cockpit of the flanker. I'd love to stay with the flaker.. but no.. I'll have to switch to the dark side, the force is too strong. All hail the Eagle!

159th_Viper Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Quite so - the Budgie will always get smacked in a low, slow merrygoround by a halfway decent Flanker.

MTFDarkEagle Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Damn, you guys will find anything to hate on! Tough crowd! Well, come online for a 1-on-1 cannon dogfight then ;) Or any other half decent flanker pilot. They won't stay in a nice level-g turn in plane, trust me. That's just inviting to get shot down.

speckfire Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Had my first human dogfight using the Eagle VS a mig-29C. I loved it. Ended up going gunzo. Love the new 20mm tracers. 6DOF rules, new cockpit rules. Speed is life !!!

GGTharos Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Not if he's already on the 27's six (assuming the Eagle can still turn of course), and in this case the 'game' is happening at the Eagle's corner speed. Quite so - the Budgie will always get smacked in a low, slow merrygoround by a halfway decent Flanker.

GGTharos Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Come to the dark side. We have the best missiles, radars, and engines all around. ;) I'd love to stay with the flaker.. but no..

Mercury Cell Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Far be it for me to butt in on the discussions of moderators and veterans with my uninformed ramblings, but I figure there might be a reason to why the F-15 is considered as the most successful fighter in history, while Flanker is usually remembered as that Russian jet that keeps crashing into the crowd during air shows every other year. But maybe that's just me. Proceed.
