Alpenwolf Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Syria map: Can a Spitfire/Mosquito take off from Taftanaz Airbase? It's a helicopter base actually, but has a narrow and relatively short runway. If anyone can check it out, please, let me know. And grab some bombs/rockets maybe to see if that makes it impossible if it is possible without in the first place. Thanks in advance!

No problem for a Spitfire and I can't imagine the Mossy would have any issue with it either. I don't own the Mosquito, so I cannot check directly but that is a long runway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very good news, just saw that. rossmum and I were talking about some sort of a white list to reserve MiG-29A's and F-14A's for server veterans only. You know, they're often in the "wrong hands" and get wasted quickly.

A surprise is included. Some might not like it though, but I'm open to remove it if it's not appreciated - The new mission will hopefully kick off in a week and features the Syria map. Stay tuned... - More older missions will be added to the roster replacing other ones.

Giskvoosk Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) A couple suggestions on Swedish Delivery: 1. Add a certain time buffer between the removal of all SA-2 threat and the bomber spawn. It makes more sense if the escort flight could clear the path in advance, instead of scrambling at Vody in the meantime bombers are already directly overhead at 36k 2. Further tuning of AI bomber flights: forbid bomb jettison on B-52 / change reaction to threats /speed up to M0.8+ ... 3. Add dedicated air-to-air Viggen slots to unlock as bomber escort, preferably with some advanced weaponry. For one it fits more the story telling. Also at height F-5 is underperformed, and underarmed against intercepting MiG-21bis by a wide margin. Specially headon with R3R brings guaranteed loss to bomber flights. The airframe performance deficit contribute to the awkward situation where F-5s could not force its skillful red opponents into defensive. Thoroughly enjoyed the last two runs with the remake of the mission! In the first run I got the vague hint about the Swedish part in the mission. But not till I wiped out the target SAMs with F-5 did it occurred to me that the title suggested the Viggens were the ones to carry out the mission. Or at least my callsign made up for that Thanks for the effort. I would like to know the feedback from the other side as well, thanks in advance.

IKEA 24-7 1- That's why the B-52's start 50-75 km northeast of Vody to give you a bit of buffering. 2- That must've been added automatically after one of the latest updates for the game. I'll check it out. 3- Or, wait for either the F1 or the F-4 to arrive (or both) to solve that problem, which was my original plan when I designed the mission. Admittedly, we had all-aspect missiles when I first launched the mission, so it was never an issue. I'd hate to start making some changes while knowing the F1 and the F-4 are coming. The only problem is, we have no idea when!
