Off-Topic I know, but speaking of ka50

 

During summer 2013, the 51st was running Black Sea Redemption ( if memory serves me right). The Red Ka-50 base was only a 45 minute flight through the mountains and valleys to the blue a-10 base (Sochi). We used to make that flight, knock out one Sam radar that was dangerous to us, and we would sit there and plink taxiing A-10c's and sometimes even hit them just after they took off. Was a lot of fun until they put in a crap load of sam's in the valleys we would approach from, oh well.

 

Oh well, just reminds me a bit about the Mig-21. Sometimes we shouldnt be able to do what were doing but we do it anyway. And the feeling of success is that much greater.

Yeah that was well said. I used to fly the Ka-50 exclusively before the Fishbed. Beautiful times learning that thing actually lol

[Hadwell]

So i was bored and decided to do an all-out X-55 key config thing, if anyone wants this profile let me know

 

if anyone has some advice or can figure a way to make a key config that makes flying the mig-21 any easier than this, would be nice :D

Here's the profile for that

 

I also suggest you watch

to see what switches you'll still need to turn on even with auto start.

Good video, very useful :thumbup:

[LuSi_6]

Ha! I just got my first Mig-21 kill vs a modern jet. I shot down a F-15 on 104th server tonight. I will upload the video later or tomorrow. Never was a kill so rewarding for me :pilotfly:

Congratulations mate! Mig21 ftw! :D

[LuSi_6]

As promised, here is the video:

 

tactic: I tried to stay low as possible and use the terrain as cover and very limited use of my own radar. I did switch on my radar once a minute for a quick scan and if I detect a target for IFF.

 

loadout: make the Mig as light as possible! 4 R-60 heat seakers, one on each pylon, 65% fuel and a centerline droptank.

 

What did I do? I switched on the radar for a scan once I pass the mountain in front of me. A contact! Quick IFF, ENEMEY! Immediatly I set the radar to standby. One second later my RWR freaks out, missile launch!

Now I do some things simultaneously: drop fuel tank, high 6g 90° turn into the valley next to me, deploy countermeassures. In the after battle report you get at the end of the track I saw it was an AIM-120C!

 

When I came out of the valley, the enemy F-15 just passes by directly abouve me. I go full force second stage of afterburner and end up on his low six o'clock! First R-60 failed (I think it went into the mountain in front of me) but the second killed his plane and the pilot. Epic win!

 

Pls. note that Track IR seems to not work in the replay, that's why the camera doesn't move.

 

Enjoy!

Very well done sir. Your TIR probably isn't working because you pressed an F key (F1-F-12). I've still yet to bag a fighter with an R-60 tho. How many times did he launch?

[LuSi_6]

Thx! The F-15 has shot one 120C at me and than he lost me in the valley.

Congrats. Welcome to the club!

Who all wants to get together one night and play the dynamic campaign?

[Kobymaru]

I actually got my first kill before my first death!

Flying around the mountains with radar off - anxiously turn on for a quick scan. Multiple targets, IFF says one of em was an enemy. I lock on, fire the missile and Splash! Killed an F-15 on my first sortie. I was really glad.

Since then, however - no kills, only deaths :( So my first kill stayed the only kill for now.

[Santi871]

I got my first kill as well yesterday! Took me a few missiles since I partially don't know what I'm doing but it's a kill either way :P

 

 

Ignore the background clicking (skype call with girlfriend), shitty sound and Hadwell's voice on teamspeak. I'm not very experience with recording/uploading).

 

Either way, I got shot down in the process as I was being suicidal cause I just wanted to kill someone :D

 

And yes, I really need trackir.

I always wanted to play with Hadwell :cry:

 

Well done man, was it SAMS that had you locked? You sacrificed your aircraft for the kill, but I guess F-15 pilots do that already anyways.

Just remember to fly reeeal defensively. Be a complete coward in the aircraft and after enough sorties you will rack up kills.

You really need to map those controls too. It was killing me watching you clicking everywhere haha

Do you have steam? You can add us both and play with us for sure. Thanks for the tip :)

 

Anyway, I was being locked onto by other F15s, there were 4 or 5 in the area which is why Hadwell was saying "ruuuuuunnnn". I decided to stay for a kill, even though I knew I'd get shot down.

 

And yeah, taylor, I still have some things left to map, like the IFF button and SARH/IR selector. I pretty much don't play singleplayer so I have to launch it exclusively to map my keys (can't change controls in MP).

[Hadwell]

here's the same sortie from my plane

Santi and I pared up for a while, short video of that, got a couple kills too, one with R-3Rs, one with R-60Ms

 

so Santi and I split up because we ran into 4+ F-15s.

 

I ran away to live, still managed two kills, but after that dive at the end I pulled too many G's and lost my last two missiles and had to rtb...

 

Santi managed his first online kill, Gratz to him!, but he ran into the F-15s and got shot down in the process...

 

He got his first kill at exactly the same time as the first kill I get in this video

 

and yeah if you wanna fly, just lemme know your steam name so I know its you and not some random guy, my nick is hadwell in steam too...

 

or if you see me in-game...

I really need to start taking video. Last night I had 3 kills. (2 f15, 1 su-27) in one life, until I was nailed by AAMRAM. The su-27 was was very funny actually. I merged and got behind him and his reaction was just to put up a wall of flares which spoofed 3 of my r-60s. Then it appeared he ran out so I managed to stick my last r-60m in his rear end. The 2 f15s were handled with my r-3rs.

 

Other than that had one other r3r kill. One r3r hit nut didn't kill. And one r60m hit a target and he limped home.

 

 

I like the warhead and speed of the r-13m1, and hate the small warhead of the r-60,

 

Bit I like how I can double pylon the r-60m and there extremely maneuverable close in... Choices

Says user not found. I'm santi871, just add me.

[ttaylor0024]

I'll redownload my steam since it seems to be easier for everyone else. ttaylor0024 is my username.

Yup, Ill try and find the track.

 

Edit:

 

I believe the mission was Operation Leapord???? Took off from Nalchick I believe and bullseye was a nice big mountain range. Perfect for stalking quietly down there until a target pops up. Also it provides great cover if I get locked and fired at from someone.
