Alfa Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 It's also an old and rare aircraft that needs replacement; it's meant to shoot down incoming cruise missiles and enemy submarine hunters (that is the Kuz's raison d'etre ... protecting the submarine fleet) and doesn't stand much of a chance against a modern USN fighter right now ... neither in quality, nor quantity. As such, i don't really see ED bothering with it. GG..... :chair: JJ

RvETito Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I don't about the 33 but I'm sure he has a server that scans the Universe for the string "MiG-29K" :D Cheers Jens! ;) "See, to me that's a stupid instrument.

EricJ Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 I have to disagree with you there Eric, for practical reasons: The Su-33 was never meant to be employed as a strike aircraft, as it's not a vehicle for projecting power. As such its strike capabilities are rather primitive compared to say, an F-16 or a MiG-29SMT, etc etc - that's aside from the fact that you would -probably- never ever see a Su-33 used as a strike airfract. Yah let me be one of the "fans".... but seriously if LOMAC is anything close to the real thing, then it'd be a great platform, and was preferable to a slow, ungainly Su-25T. If things had gone further by giving it the capability that the Su-30/35s were given, it'd be able to step amongst the other strike aircraft. It's a matter of knowing the capabilities and using the weaknesses of it being a heavy weight (which mind you, didn't feel "heavy") aircraft that could handle even light fighters. I've bounced enough aircraft in Flanker 2.51 so I really highly doubt it'd suffer poorly against equivalent aircraft, which it couldn't outrange the F-14s Pheonix (which really, nothing could, except the MIG-31), so it's a matter of conjecture and "what if". Mind you Flanker 2.51 modelled the cancelled "Su-33M", which was designed to give the Kuznetsov's Su-33s a multirole capability, which of course was not produced due to lack of funds, and in LOMAC was modelled as it should be, a carrier capable interceptor for fleet defense. Sure technology-wise it couldn't hold a candle to a Strike Eagle or a Tornado, but again, it can carry alot, and still get bombs on target, and the range capability to get the bombs there too.

RvETito Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Aaaaah... Flanker 2.51.. the good old memories... Sometimes I miss it. Especially the RAFSC missions. We don't have such thing in LO though- offline competition. BigBri last told me that he plans to move it in LO once it's out in... 2003. Only heard of him once ever since- has taken different direction, no more flight sims. "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is.

GGTharos Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Eric, the problem with LOMAC is that bombs have pinpoint accuracy. Real ones can go off target by as much as 1km if you don't drop from the right altitude and your bombsight's old enough ... this is what makes it not so great (compared to modern fighters): It can't do high-altitude bomb runs with good accuracy due to this factor plus lack of guided A2G munitions. In places where the risk is small, a more modern fighter reduces it to nil by dropping stuff from higher up. In places where the risk is bigger, the Su-33 might be the entirely wrong aircraft to send in. N/A LOMAC.

EricJ Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Yeah rog. I'm too tired to even bother anymore as it is, but we'll agree to disagree. I'm too much of a virtual strike pilot to know what I'm talking about, and you're too much of an F-15 pilot to realize what it may be able to do, so we'll just leave it at that :thumbup: Homepage | Discord | Linktree | YouTube 'Nearly everyone felt the need to express their views on all wars to me, starting with mine.

Witchking Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 lol! the moment I saw the preview of this thread as I hovered my cursor on it...I broke out laughing as I know many ppl would love to get a go at BS. But great post and points put out here which makes the role of a Beta tester not as easy as one would think. Especially its the commitment required.

Are you slacking on the job buddy? ;) Haha yeah indeed. Daily life stuff keeps me occupied, and to be honest, i havent worked on Speed 2 since......early february! Oh maan.... Speaking of which, can someone just throw ideas at me? I want each and every scene to feel a little bit special :P https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJRhtnqA-67pKmQ3A2GsgA ED youtube channel https://www.facebook.com/glowingamraam My facebook page
SuperKungFu Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 show every new model in Black Shark lol (that's more than special) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ED Team Glowing_Amraam Posted March 9, 2008 ED Team Posted March 9, 2008 Yeah later, i guess, but my next movie will not be black shark related :P https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJRhtnqA-67pKmQ3A2GsgA ED youtube channel https://www.facebook.com/glowingamraam My facebook page
-sulan- Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Haha yeah indeed. Daily life stuff keeps me occupied, and to be honest, i havent worked on Speed 2 since......early february! Oh maan.... Speaking of which, can someone just throw ideas at me? I want each and every scene to feel a little bit special :P Love your movies! Especially the black shark one with the Hans Zimmer soundtrack (forgot what the movie is called). It really has that expensive "Hollywood epic movie" feel. :thumbup: I allways figured that if I'd ever try to make a combat flight movie, I'd try to get the tactics to shine through and have the viewer immersed in the action and also understand the big picture of an engagement/strike/or something... Cheers! Looking forward to the next movie!!!

Guest Frenchy702 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 i think they sould sell limited numbers of beta copies, on the agreement that they are obligated to buy the origional when released and not distribute, it could be a one time only install program.. and for the buyer, they could have a lower responsibility look into beta testing.. they could be sold to people dependant on system components ect, so a sector of the market could give feeback.
