Big Nuts Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Just want to share because im so proud; So on the 104th server, i go in low, using rwr and eyeballs to get a feel for what's going on, maneuvering near bullseye, after about 20 minutes , boom an f15 goes wizzing by.. Well we got into a turning fight, i put on the emergency burners and turned as best i could, the red stall lights flickering. We turned and we turned, and as my heart beat faster the f15 started coming around, and finally he could turn no more... I kept it coming around as he went up into the vertical, i followed and kept it from stalling,, backdown again for some more turns, i was sweating at this point lol. Anyways finally caught up with him, the bis was turning like a demon! :) Love it. Put him in the pipper and foxed my ir's, but they went wide, up again into the vertical we went, this time i switched to radar, and put him in the cross hairs, spamming the lock button....finally got a tone and foxed 1 radar... boom! Down he goes :) So proud :pilotfly:

Chimango Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Congrats Big Nuts! The first kill it's always unforgetable, and that looked like a very tense fight. Well done! I don´t mean to hijack your thread but you bring memories of my first kill, and want to share it with you. I had the luck to record my first kill at 104th, it also was my first kill ever at 104th cause the 21' was the only module i had back then, and i was new to DCS and modern air combat scenarios. Video, that F15 dodged both R3Rs thanks to lag/warpping, and i finished him with R-60M + GUNS GOOD JOB!

fable2omg Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Forget about this Absolut Swedish beer, have a Stoli on me! :P When the weight is distributed properly the MiG-21 is a charm to fly! I'm always happy to hear more from my fellow pilots, you have my congratulations!
Bogey Jammer Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Is a MiG-21 more maneuverable than a F-15 ? I'll buy : МиГ-23МЛД & МЛА МиГ-27К МиГ-25 Mirage III F-4E any IJ plane 1950' Korea Dynamic campaign module
GGTharos Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 No, it was a bad F-15 pilot. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Big Nuts Posted July 4, 2016 Author Posted July 4, 2016 Yes he was at fault, though the MiG 21 with 1500 Litres of fuel and emergency burner, i think may be superior to the F15 in the turning fight, at slow speed. I don't fly the F15 much so not sure.
