Kaptein_Damli Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Hi, I have trouble locking on to ground units with the flanker. (SU-27). I have selected bombs and rockets and presse "7" scannig mode, but when I try to lock the target it woundn´t. I have no trouble locking into airtarget, but groundtarget is no go. What am I doing wrong? I can visually see the target, IE a vulcan, but it can´t lock it. What bomb to select in payload and how to lock?

DimASS Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 1.Su-27 has no equipment to lock ground targets with 2. Su-27, modelled in LO FC, can't use guided a-to-g weapons. ps Good question, i havent laught so much for a long time :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Typed some wrong letters...was in a hurry when I wrote it! Sorry, but I think you understood what I was talking about. I figureded out that the SU-27 was an air to air killer, and not useful for groundattacks. I just wanted to be sure. I can always use the gun on my flanker!

JEFX Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Please, I would be tempted to say : give people a chance... Good question, i havent laught so much for a long time :D It is not so funny, the guy is just asking. I agree that most of these kinds of questions could be avoided if people just took the time to read the whole manual and watch all training tracks... Talking about ground attack, the Flanker is not so bad at it. Of course, as mentioned, it does not use guided munitions of precision weapons of any kind, but it can deliver a lot of iron with either CCIP or CCRP computer calculated precision! It is able to deliver also some pretty lethal rockets if shot properly. And since the Flanker is a very powerful and agile fighter, one can actually use interesting power tactics (such as pop-up and dives or NOE very fast attacks) and avoid AAA or threats with speed and power in some situations where a Hog or Frog would be a sitting duck. I would not say that it is not a good A to G platform at all. JEFX [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] In DCS I fly jets with thousands of pounds of thrust...

Kaptein_Damli Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 I know it was a stupid question, but I had to ask since I got groundtargeting mode while pressing the "7" key. Didn´t know SU-27 couldn´t lock into ground targets. As for reading the manual I am going to print the whole damn thing tonight as soon as I am finishing work. My wife does not understand my passion for this game, but I suppose all women out there who does not get all that attention because of flightsim acts the same! :smilewink: hehe... I also must admit that flying the SU-27 flanker is my favorite plane. BTW: Just wondering, if you chose realistic mode like I do, with no easy radar, g-effects on, etc etc. If I play online, is the ther server overiding users settings? Ie, try to select easy mode, will the server overide this if the server has set "veteran" mode for instance? I also mentioned that "blacking of screen" appears more often as more acrobatic modes you do. The pilot stands some, but if you roll A LOT, it starts going black after the 20 th roll or something. And does the black out occurs for AI too? Can the ai see you throug the sky if you are above clouds? Lots of questions folks, I bet all this is in the manual. :thumbup: :joystick: My moviemaking channel at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/RobertDamli
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 And does the black out occurs for AI too? Can the ai see you throug the sky if you are above clouds?Bandit AI are superhuman it seems and not affected by such things. Whereas the Friendly AI will jettison their weapon load at the slightest SAM threat, or run out of fuel and run back to base just when you need their help. It all adds to the fun!!

Kaptein_Damli Posted June 13, 2007 Author Posted June 13, 2007 Hmmm...if I am going to train dogfighting, I bet it will be with a fried then. Too bad ED didnґt implent g-effects with the AI. I have seen the AI doing som incredible manuvers that would surely made me black out....argh....hate that...stupid AI... My moviemaking channel at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/RobertDamli
159th_Viper Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 The 27 is a ground killer as well....as long as you know how to use it. Indeed - as is the '33.

See the delayed shockwave after that bombing run? great stuff :thumbup: Is breaking the laws of gravity illegal? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
