Buzzles Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 In reference to the blurb on the video stating the Hawk can't be re-armed, I think it can, but only via the lalt-' rearm/refuel menu shortcut, rather than via the radio (which doesn't work). Looking forward to this bird getting it's PFM and proper weapon load out, will be quite fun as shown by the video :) Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
SFC Tako Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 I should have mentioned, I tried that too. At a friendly airbase, at several places where I'm usually lucky. I just got the answer "can't comply" :mad: Even tried it at the aircraft carrier without any luck. But really, it will be fixed. And I'll be flying the Hawk a LOT :) My Semi-Pro Youtube Channel
audax Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) When all the missing features are implemented, it will be a nice COIN aircraft! I want to use both the Hawk and the C-101 for this. Currently I just fly the MiG-21 for the Task :D Edited May 3, 2015 by audax
Stratos Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I think the C-101 will be better for COIN warfare as it can carry a lot more ammo than the Hawk. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Oesau Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Well then you might be interested in it's COIN use in the Congo by the Air Force of Zimbabwe (AFZ) in the current issue of http://www.theaviationhistorian.com/ which is a magazine which is of great quality and I highly recommend it (if you like the classics :) ) BAe Hawk; rarely used in combat, it is the subject of an extraordinary story culminating in surely the shortest-range strike missions in history, conducted by the Air Force of Zimbabwe in 1998
SFC Tako Posted May 4, 2015 Author Posted May 4, 2015 Had to try out the same scenario with the other two jets I own: and The Sabre is steady and trustworthy, the Mig is a bit on the wild side but THRUSTworthy ;) Still, I must say the Hawk is the most fun to fly. I hope the final flight model won't be too far from this current one :pilotfly: My Semi-Pro Youtube Channel
audax Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 If you send me the Mission, I'll record a session with the MiG-21 :D
SFC Tako Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 Man...dude...this Mig21 is kinda tough on them carriers. I got lucky here, can't (and won't) do it again ;) My Semi-Pro Youtube Channel
SFC Tako Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 If you send me the Mission, I'll record a session with the MiG-21 :D Couldn't help it, had to try it out myself. And yes, a BIT of luck was involved in that carrier landing ;) My Semi-Pro Youtube Channel
