Dart94 Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Don't underestimate the minstrel. Had a crewed f14 engage me yesterday... Stayed behind a tree line to avoid lock. Flipped that thing almost vertical as he flew over and grazed him with a missile. Turned and fired a second to sign his death warrant. First time ever using the minstrel. Those missiles are great!
Tiger-II Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 I've yet to try AA in this, but reading about the Minstral missile, it makes the SA342 Minstral sound like a flying SAM site. Wow!

-Martin- Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 2 years ago I killed a fighter going over Mach 1 at 5 km with it. I am not sure if the flight model changed in the meantime as I stopped flying it, but the mistral missile surely dwarfts dedicated SAM sites with its performance.
Tiger-II Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) 2 years ago I killed a fighter going over Mach 1 at 5 km with it. That's possible. Mistral flies at peak of Mach 2.6 and has a range of up to 6 km, so if he was < 1.5 km when you fired it, it would have the necessary performance to reach him.
