GGTharos Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yes, right. The AIM-120 has the advantage of measuring closure among other things, and doesn't have the disadvantage of an error-prone nutating seeker (error prone compared to the radar seeker). No IR missile without FPA should be claiming accuracy greater than that of an AIM-120. In fact, in LO we see heaters taking down AAMs... if you wanted to do such a thing RL, the heater would be by the worst weapon to do with ... a slammer would work better, but you shouldn't be betting your life on it doing what you want it to do in that case ...

cool_t Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 So Ok, the 120 is gona get a fix, right. So for some of us ground pounders A-10 the Mav is the worst PORKED in the sim. My gunz are more deadly than the MAV they have the same range. We cant ZOOM in the MFD as well. Why would a flight SIM manufacture do this, I just do not get the whole picture. Can some one put a light on the subject? :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Yeah. Take off your blinders :P The Maverick works nicely from as far as 8nm away, so long as you use the D.

GGTharos Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Yeah, we are. I've been popping mavs off from 8nm out forever now; the one thing that might shorten this is haze, or using the K.

mjolner Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I believe the default keys for the A-10 MFD were "=" IN and "-" OUT. Man, I can't imagine all the missed opportunities you must have had. Pretty sure this only works on the IR Mavs, D, K, C, whatever, I just shoot them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool_t Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 :) T, I suggest you save the 169th mission and study it. Ahhh, Tac-View is for the birds I dont use it any more. I dont need it, never did. If you cant imagin it or if you get "Hit" you set your self up for it. Tac View also slowed down my FPS. It was nice to see people warping or 120s just not using there PROX-Fuse. Naaa it causes to many problems I think Ill leave it up to my "Imagination". Its just like with my Art and Music, just play hard and only hold the Highest of Standards with out being trendy or a "Poser" :megalol: GOYA I never see you on line any more, whats up, wheres RIO, MOMO, and the rest of the gang?

I fly the 15. I use AMRAAMs. I got tired of the frustrations and am taking a break from flying LOMAC. I installed 1.02 and might start flying that. Check PM.

Pilotasso Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Not getting kills is not a reason to be absent from online gaming. I still manage to get kills online with good kill ratios, so can you, you just got to invest in different tactics. Observing yours I can understand that you cant have any fun. Its time for a change. You can always use a different fighter as well, why not? If your getting killed by those poor avengers, then your flying too low. If you get killed flying high prectice the radar better. F-15 was made to fly high. My 2 cents. P.S. In case your wondering I have also been absent but due to RL issues. Take care.

S77th-GOYA Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 "Frustrations" does not equate to "not getting kills". And I've heard from you before that you think you know my tactics. I can assure you that you do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kula66 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 F-15 was made to fly high. The real life F-15 was ... the LO one has no real advantage - TWS is totally borked, no answer to the uber-ETs, AMRAAMs are dumb, ECM is screwed and abused, low-flyers are immune, weapon FMs are arcady! Looks like I'll be waiting 6 years for EDs next NATO fighter to play A2A online ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotasso Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I have always flown high with F-15. Yes its hard to use the radar but is possible. When the AMRAAM is tuned up, flying high will pay off better.

S77th-GOYA Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Goya, if it's not a secret - what is your tactic?:) There is no single tactic. It depends very much on the situation. But in a perfect scenerio, fly @ angels 16-18, use TWS mode, only jam when necessary and never when firing, fire 2-3 missiles ~ 5 secs apart at the bandit from 12-15nm (closer seems to not work as well) hold lock until ~ 10nm from bandit (unless that feels suicidal) and then get out of danger. And when I say "feels" it truly is a feeling and I have never really thought of a way to say why that feeling is triggered. Many, many hours of online stick time is the only way I can suggest to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kula66 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I have always flown high with F-15. Yes its hard to use the radar but is possible. When the AMRAAM is tuned up, flying high will pay off better. The higher you fly the more you have to look down, the narrower the 'cone' is and manually keeping track of multiple targets becomes impossible. 1 is easy, but TWS is supposed to offer multi-target ability - this is what was borked in the last patch. AMRAAM was supposed to be tweaked in the last patch ... so I'll reserve judgement - if a patch is ever forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotasso Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Im aware of that, it only becomes a problem at 10 miles. Besides firing multi target in TWS is a waste of missiles, youll likely miss all of them, so I usualy scare one off while it gives me time to concentrate on the other.

GGTharos Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Apparently it is standard procedure RL to switch to STT once your target's at around 10nm. The auto-tracker isn't perfect.

tflash Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I just do not use TWS any more, just stick to LRS. And indeed on one PC I also switched back to Lockon 1.02, which is not a bad game at all! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGTharos Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Nope. AMRAAM Rtr is a bit over 7nm. Further, you may be attacking off-aspect.
