Mike Force Team Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 When I see the videos showing the A-6 Intruder, a movie comes to mind. The movie is called Flight of the Intruder. I look forward to flying the A-6, when available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quetzalkoatl Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 As F-4E is planned to be released in late 2022, I was wondering if it's still possible that two remaining variants of Tomcat (F-14A-135-GR (Early) & F-14A-95-GR (IRIAF)) would come before Phantom or I should expect them after F-4E release 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig Fulcrum Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I really hope, the F-14 module has been relesed in 2018, it's been out for 5 years and i would love to see it finished with all the four variants. Maybe the will finish the first batch of modules (Viggen and F-14) before they release the second batch (F-4 and Eurofighter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadjad-vosoul Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I wonder why you guys say -95-GR (IRIAF) ?!? Only 80 of 90 & 95-GR are for IRIAF , this means USNAVY could have 90 and 95GR in DCS too , isnt it ?!?!

TLTeo Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) I mean it kinda helps that it flew so many combat missions, but generally didn't carry the missiles in them. Edited July 4, 2022 by TLTeo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's just hilarious to me that a low level nuclear bomber (the F-105s original mission) had more gun kills than all other US types in that war combined. Likewise that the only aircraft in US service to get a gun kill since that war is the A-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterH Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I'd be surprised if MiG-17 doesn't have a go at at least top 10 gun kills in said period too. 1 Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it has the gun the 8AAM loadout leads me to doubt how often it got gun kills. Looking at US record in Vietnam as an example the F-4E got 23 kills, 11 AIM-7, 5 AIM-9, 5 20mm, and 2 Maneuver. So without hard numbers I'd say 50% odds that the MIIIC beats 24.5, 80% odds that the Nesher does, and maybe 40% odds that the F-4E did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of what else does at 6am before finishing my first cup of coffee. According to this list http://aces.safarikovi.org/victories/victories-israel.html the total number of kills for Mirage IIIcj in the israeli air force is about 330 (I counted by hand so that is give or take a few). Given the numbers, the list probably includes ground kills and I also think that a few more for Yom Kipur may actually be Nesher kills - at the time the existence of the Nesher was a secret and often it is confused with the Mirage IIIcj. Given Israel bought only 72 Mirages, that is a seriously impressive average of over 4 per-airframe. I’ve never seen a detailed breakdown, but the absolute majority of the Mirage kills were with guns, especially before and during the 6-days war when their missiles were pretty bad, but even during Yom kippur war, guns ruled - even the F-4 phantoms got a large fraction of their kills with guns. So Mirage IIIcj, Nesher, and almost certainly Israeli Phantoms had more than 24.5 gun kills. Two Mirage IIIcj airframes are tied with 13 kills each, so these two alone may tie or break 24.5 gun kills… Edited July 6, 2022 by Bozon 1 “Mosquitoes fly, but flies don’t Mosquito” :pilotfly: - Geoffrey de Havilland. ... well, he could have said it!
