Lock On Joy

[Stealth Clobber]

The game is so fun, all it takes is a successful carrier landing with a Su-33 to bright up my day (especially when its my first, and successful!).

 

Share your joyful experiences!

Best ever was...

 

Flying for 45 minutes through mountainous terrain to rape and pillage an opfor airfield and then score an 2 x Air to Air kills against Mig 29's in the mountains on the way home in my trusty Hog on HL (OK, OK... so one of them stalled and crashed into the mountains, but a winder was on his tail)

[SuperKungFu]

bombed a couple of targets but got shot up bad and even lost a wing with the Su-25T and came back and landed. (without crashing)

[S77th-konkussion]

Just a few of my favorite moments.

I'd been flying Lockon for a couple of months and I'm in my trusty A-10, flying an SP mission high in the mountains North of Sukhumi in the late afternoon. Had taken out most of my targets, I get complacent and lose concentration, fly over enemy AAA, take a bunch of hits from a Shilka.

 

What's the damage? Damn, handling is bad, I've lost bits of the control surfaces. Also lost the HUD and still one truck to deal with. Switch to cannon, come in at a dive angle that seems roughly correct, hose the target, BOOM! Damn that felt good, never had to do that that before.

Pull away - chaff/flares, Oh Sh*t, I've hung around too long and an Su-25 has turned up looking for me.

Don't panic, don't panic! No HUD, but maybe I can go air to air and use my ears and see if my trusty Sidewinder can lock him up. I get a tone - Blam! I toast the sucker...

Now all I have to do is fly home and land for tea and medals.

 

FUEL 1500.

What the f*ck ??

 

Quick look at the fuel indicator and I realise I am the Exxon Valdez re-visited.

Damn, I was so wrapped up in losing the HUD that I never noticed that I also took hits in the fuel tanks.

 

FUEL 800.

Climb, climb, CLIMB.......

 

 

 

In a VERY short space of time,

 

FUEL 0

 

and I am transformed from Brit_RADAR_Dude into my fellow countryman - Brit_GLIDER_Pilot!

Luckily I can see the lights of Sukhumi in the far distance. I'm literally shaking with nerves as I successfully attempt my first ever no engine landing. Whooping with joy, jumping around the room, no computer game has ever made me feel this euphoric.

I really need to get out more.....

P.S. Would love to see a track of that one-winged landing, SKF.

[SuperKungFu]

damn now i wish i saved that track. Ah well, here's an old pic of me landing with 2 half-wing. So 2 half wing added together = 1 wing, you can say i did a "1 wing landing" in this shot. haha

I love how the first shot on the top left coner says "eject," but i never listen to the computer

 

Edit: oh and here's another pic but with one working wing :D

some video about «LockOn Joy» =)))

 

its about how «Far east» fly online :D

[Grimes]

There have been so many great memories of this game. Most of them have been moments of giddy joy or terror when looking around with a trackIR.

 

Sitting on comms in the first ever Red Flag hearing all the different nationalities and accents cursing at their situation ranks up there.

 

Recently flying in close formation in a 3 ship of F-15s raining down Aim-120s at our enemy while keeping the formation. It was such a waste of missiles but was just to much fun not to keep doing it.

[Yeniceri]

My latest was..

At the Blacksea Showdown

We were 4 su-33 flying in v shape close formation and turning to enemy while hearing 4c guys doing the same..I was at the far right wing and our squadron commander said (I dont remember the exact words.. it was something like)"Multiple bandits at 2 o clock..Weapons hot..angage!..Good hunting guys!.." MAN! that was way cool..
