empeck Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Yeah, we do need those in DCS, ASAP :smartass: And map of Poland too :music_whistling: Mike
Boberro Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 OT: Yeah Poland is proud to have F-16... and trouble with pilots' trainings, service, and often damages... IMO we bought it cause our government wanna to get into favour of USA. Polish odd practices. But pictures pretty. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
bradmick Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 What are those large pods on the fuselage? I've seen more than a few of those with them in pictures recently. Brad
empeck Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 I think you're talking about conformal fuel tanks.
ED Team Groove Posted November 8, 2007 ED Team Posted November 8, 2007 Awesome pictures. This are additional fuel tanks bradmick. Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en

Especially when they compared them to A versions of Mig29.
urze Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Nice.. Where I can get the HiRes ones? Leftside Limited - ideas and solutions
Kusch Posted November 8, 2007 Author Posted November 8, 2007 Nice.. Where I can get the HiRes ones? At this moment in flight not for free in HiRes: http://www.air2air.net/ Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!
Sundowner.pl Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 I hear they are not very pleased with them. Especially when they compared them to A versions of Mig29.Oh yes, the F-16 have so tiny radar, so short range, so weak BVR armament, and its ECM suit is nonexistant... Bravo Sierra Actually, comparing Polish F-16C/D-52+ to our MiG-29As and ex-Gs is like comparing USAF F-22As with F-16As , absolutely no competition. Those Block 52+ Vipers have the best avionics suit available, short of the I, and E/Fs which are way to expensive for what they're capable of. The only true problem is... be bought not enough of them ( 48 ), we need at least twice as much. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "If a place needs helicopters, it's probably not worth visiting." - Nick Lappos
bradmick Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Ah, cool. Suppose its better than taking up an external hardpoint with a fuel tank. Cool stuff. Brad
mvsgas Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I think this photo is not all correct. I know for a fact block 40/42 and 50/52 with CCIP (Common Configuration Implementation Program) have a ASHM (aft seat heads up monitor) Sorry, just my two cents PS great photos, I love that paint skim. Are dose f-16 block 52 or 52+ To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
Sundowner.pl Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 All F-16 two seaters which are playing training aircraft role have ASHM, that's not the important thing on that photo. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "If a place needs helicopters, it's probably not worth visiting." - Nick Lappos

mvsgas Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Man, I don't care what anyone says. The F-16 is a beautiful aircraft. From a to e model. From Blk 1 to 60 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Vekkinho Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Boberro are you saying you're not happy with your F-16 fleet?! What's the general opininon in Poland on F-16 after first year of use?! I ask because my homeland Croatia also seems interested in upgrading it's fleet of MiG-21 Fishbeds and we've got JAS-39 and F-16 to choose between. Knowing the buttkiss policy of my country I assume it's gonna end up with F-16 (20+ YO airframes that noone considers safe no more) so I'm just interested how things are in Poland. BTW Kusch, THX for a nice pics and news as usual! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I'm pretty sure the Polish military is happy with the F-16s, and only those who don't really know a thing are saying silly things like MiG-29A's are better. The MiG-29A barely gets 3 WP's to navigate to, and it needs NDB's to locate itself while at it - that's just on the navigation side. As for F-16 vs. JAS-39, there really isn't a functional difference IMHO. In fact, I'm fairly certain the F-16 has a greater TWR and useful payload, and probably greater range too, depending on how exactly you load it out. In addition, the F-16 has a more varied payload capability, from what I can tell. 1 [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
