vistrel Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Where's the option "I fly Mig29" ? It has R77 and handles great. Warning: The following might cause stupidity http://youtube.com/watch?v=25LceCPO1ys
GGTharos Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 I disagree. It depends on why you fly it. I don't feel I'm missing squat because I chose the 15 as my ride. [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
enigma6584 Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 The people that only fly 1 jet...your missing a lot from this game. :( It's like eating cake all the time with no ice cream. I agree with this. A little variety is good for the soul.:thumbup:
Alfa Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 hehe well if we had all three Su33, Mig29K and the Hornet I would never see land in Lockon. ;) . Me neither :D . JJ
TucksonSonny Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 I voted Su-27 but the Star is the Mig-29S for obvious reasons! :pilotfly: DELL Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 940 2,93 GHz @3 GHz, 8 MB cache | 8.192 MB 1.067 MHz Tri Channel DDR3 | 512 MB ATI® Radeon™ 4850 | 500 GB 7200 rpm Serial ATA | Samsung SM 2693 HM 25.5 " | HOTAS Cougar Thrustmaster |
Aeroscout Posted February 9, 2007 Author Posted February 9, 2007 Ok, sory i didnt make the mig an option. But it seems the flanker is prefered. With Practice, i believe that it will be the better fighter for me. Dont get me wrong. I do enjoy flying all the fighters. (the russian fighters are all quite similar, so those I use allot. (mostly the flankers)) But I also enjoy the A-10. (NOW THESE MISSIONS ARE A TON OF FUN!) But Thats because i'm not yet prificient in A2A combat. I try to practice every day, but many things get in the way and i dont have time.

I have to say I completely agree with you. I understand that some are only interested in flying one aircraft and that's fine, what ever melts your butter, but sometimes I'll just get a taste for say the Su25 and fly nothing else for a week.. I do spend most of my time in the Su33 but all the other aircraft get a good seeing to :chair: , even the German Mig. :smilewink: Cozmo. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction.

Aeroscout Posted February 9, 2007 Author Posted February 9, 2007 lol. sounds like me now. problem is, i cant get the missile up the F-15's...

Mizzy Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I disagree. It depends on why you fly it. I don't feel I'm missing squat because I chose the 15 as my ride. Yes but if you are 'testing' don't you feel you need a more rounded education in LOMAC ;) Mizzy
GGTharos Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Who said I don't know the other aircraft? ;) As for testing, that's well outside the scope of my regular online activities. All I need to know for 'testing' is stuff pertaining to the heli (and there's quite a lot of stuff there - not just the heli itself but its combat environment) [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
chrno120 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I'm not a skillfull simmer (though i'm skillfull at eating missiles) so i can't master several aircraft. I think it's a matter of preference. ;) Another thing is that Lock On is not the only thing I give my attention too. There are other games in my Hard Drive The most stupid member in the forum

There are other games in my Hard Drive Suer! but lockons my only good one! the only one that's worth my while. (Maybe batlefield 2 in the future, but not with this computer.:music_whistling:) but ultimatly, lockon is the one game i'm willing to commit lots of time to.

Kula66 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 The F-15 ... The Su-27/Mig-29 may be more beautiful and the Eagles thrust model, radar and missiles porked, but the Eagles systems are just great for SA. TWS and TEWS are way better than the Russian systems. if they ever get AFM and seekers working right it will be virtually unbeatable BVR ... as in RL.
Pilotasso Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 The radar is but TWES is not. BEriosa is still more accurate. On this SIM at least. I dont know if its just as accurate IRL. .

I hope you do understand that in a 1on1 situation it would be very stupid to use TWS :D In RWS you would have the same accuracy as the BEriosa system.

44th Eagle Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I disagree. It depends on why you fly it. I don't feel I'm missing squat because I chose the 15 as my ride. I’m with gg on this. When you are as focused on mutual support and realistic procedures as we are at the 44th every sortie has its challenges and rewards. The benefit for us staying with the F15 is that the team will get stronger. You can never stop learning how to be a better teammate. That’s what the 44th is all about, teamwork!!
SVK_Fox Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I flyed only Flanker if not fulcrum, but now I am more than 2 monts inactive
Aeroscout Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 I flyed only Flanker if not fulcrum, but now I am more than 2 monts inactive lol. kinda funny how your sig has the MiG-29. But I agree with you. the Su-27 is better than the mig. Better radar and better turn rate/ radius.

TWS and TEWS are way better than the Russian systems. if they ever get AFM and seekers working right it will be virtually unbeatable BVR ... as in RL. I think it’s porked mostly because the over all philosophy for the F15 has not been really consider or modeled. As most of you know the Russian philosophy for the most part was to over whelm the enemy with over numbering forces or aircraft. This is evident in the fact that red bird radar has not been designed with a radar platform the can engage multiple targets, however from what I understand this has changed with newer airframes. As part of the Russian philosophy but not all, stealth is a another big part combining it with GCI is another factor. This is why the EOS is so deadly as well as fits perfectly into the equation. For the most part this philosophy is achieved in lockon. The problem is the philosophy behind the F15 is not. The F15 is a flying radar platform. It was a plane designed and made around its radar. This is why the F15 has a huge nose, it’s all radar. It has been reported to be able to pick up trucks driving on the ground on a regular bases. Its reported to track Migs at 80nm. The F15 was designed to be able to counter the Russian philosophy of over whelming numbers and stealth with its radar platform and missiles…in real life beating a 120 in a NOE is almost impossible. Here is link to show some Lockon stats thanks to the 504th. Look down to the Mig-29s kill ratio against all other airframes. Odd that the airframe with the weakest radar is so dominate over all the competition. http://www.syn-ack.com/vvs504/stats/vvs504-aircraft.shtml The point is that the F15c was designed to counter this by getting into a wall formation and paint everything in front of it and fly straight at the enemies over whelming numbers or not. Then engage the multiples at BVR with it TWS then break off after missiles go active and get out. The whole idea is to keep the bandit at BVR, which is the only counter to a sneaky, stealthy enemy use GCI. Don’t let them get close. The F15 philosophy is to be bold, cocky, in your face, and radar blaring. The F15c has not been coined the BVR king for nothing. The philosophies are some what balanced in real life. In lockon the Russian philosophy has been modeled. The F15 has not. My 2 cents.
