F-22 Rulez!!!

Heh...GG, I keep asking the guys who doubt that to take a week off from LOMAC and see how that affects them. Nobody has come back with a result yet. Even in a "simple" sim like LOMAC, your skills die rather quickly. I wonder if any of them think that RL is more forgiving. :thumbup:

 

Not always true.

Last weekend I came back from a couple of weeks off from lomac (Lately my bandwidth was used too much on films and fow-online) and I forgot some details of my f-pole technique. Because I forgot my timings I was trying with new (other) timings and it turned out that I now have found better timings between launching the RE’s and the ET and different f-poling technique too (I keep these timings secret anyway) It turns out that ET in the end scores 1:1 each time over and over (using the edge of the radar limit later too). I managed even 1 Su-27 on 2 F-15C difficult AI kills.

 

BTW, Online I use 2 accounts (in the first one I take too many risks and go for the kill and the fun which results in bad kill ratio, with the other account I play on safety and keep the positive 2+ kill ratio:D ).

Good for you, Sonny! :D Would you be willing to bet your actual life on that though? :smilewink:

The number of the “(Perfect)” scores on the 504th server speaks for themselves:D .

Heh...does this mean you have lost the distinction between the virtual flying world and the real flying world?

Too bad the F-35 couldn't exist without the F-22, otherwise it would be the best choice, if it's performance and efficiency figures are true.

 

That's an apples to oranges comparison that's neither fair to the F-35 nor the F-22.

 

The F-35 was never designed for air superiority. The F-22 was never designed for moving mud (although some would like to shoehorn it into that role for the sake of the critics).

 

Air combat isn't about fairness. It's about messing up the other guy's day in the fastest way possible, at the greatest distance the ROE will alow. You just can't do it as well in the F-35, because of simple physics. Any small aircraft will be great in a dogfight, but it has to get to the point where it can get into a turning fight. That's the advantage an aircraft with a large radar in the nose. If you see me at a longer range, can lock me and 11 - or so of my buddies up, then divvy up the sort with your buddies and plant a long-range missile in our backsides, then you win. The F-35 wasn't designed to do that.

... yet strangely enough, IRL there's plenty of USAF pilots with "perfect" scores.:smilewink:

They just haven't been up against a 1337 pilot like him. :smilewink:
