Beaker Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 I'm working on a campaign that pits Turkey against a combined Russia/NATO force. I have a question concerning realistic loadouts for Turkish aircraft. Did the US export AIM-120's to Turkey? They are listed as available loadouts but I wasn't sure if that was because the F-16 can carry them, or if the Turks actually have them. Some help here would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Yes, they have - though LOMAC doesn't differentiate ebtween export and non-export versions of missiles. Anyway ... Russia/NATO against Turkey? Dead meat :D [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

Dead meat :D 2x Also Turkey is part of NATO right now...unless he found some argument for the separation...

Beaker Posted April 26, 2005 Author Posted April 26, 2005 After being stationed in Turkey back in '96 I found plenty of reasons to dislike the country, but nearly getting shot by one of our "allies" for having a christmas tree in my guard shack definitely tops the list. The in-game rationalle was a political revolution similar to Iran's back in the late 70's followed by a not so welcome military expansion. True, a full force on force conflict set on those lines would be very, how should I say it, short, and not very favorable for the Turks, but with only the Crimea and Caucuses to play in, the list of potential allignments for a war is limited. I hope no one from ED takes that as an offense, I'm realistic enough to know that we can't have the whole planet terrain mapped, at least not for a while. But anyway, thanks for the info about the missles.
