Ryback Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 The F16 has been done done done. We need a hardcore mud hen! If we get the F-15E,with that much fire power, that much speed,we will not be able to find anyone to fly A-10C buddy... :pilotfly:At least i'm assuming that way..

Agg Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 The F16 has been done done done. We need a hardcore mud hen!Has it really? There hasnt been a high fidelity F-16 simulator since Falcon, which was released 12 years ago... Id love the next DCS aircraft to be an F-16, but right now Im looking forward to the Hog :D
revalence Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 The F16 has been done done done. We need a hardcore mud hen! Agree! It would be great with two ground attack aircraft of the 1991 Gulf War. All we need is a new map of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq, and we're good to fly in the Gulf War! But... the F-16 also would add more options and depth.

power5 Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Wasnt mig25 a recon bomber? I would love to see DCS with 15 flyables, but I will be a bit old by then at the current speed. Not sure how long IL2 took, and not sure how accurate their FMs are, but it is enjoyable to jump into many different planes.

Callsign.Vega Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 The Mig-25 was designed as a high altitude interceptor in reaction to the U-2 and SR-71. It was fast but performance in other areas was lacking. It actually prompted the development of the F-15, which turned out to be a much better aircraft.

nscode Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Mig-25 turned out to be a pretty underwhelming aircraft. not really. it turned out to be less than what it was believed to be, but that doesn't make it underwhelming. not to the f-18 shot down by it, at least. Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
Callsign.Vega Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 That F-18 shoot down was just suspected, not confirmed. True, the Mig-25 could go fast, but it made a lot of sacrifices in it's design. Very poor maneuverability, poor low altitude handling, heavy weight and inefficient engines gave it a very short combat radius. I think the Mig-29 and Su-27 where much better aircraft.

GGTharos Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 You do know the circumstances under which this happened, right? The F-18's were told to wait for F-15 cover, and were denied self-escort. not really. it turned out to be less than what it was believed to be, but that doesn't make it underwhelming. not to the f-18 shot down by it, at least.

power5 Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 From the appearance of the mig25 engines I can believe they were inefficient. Looking at images they seem absolutely massive.

Callsign.Vega Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Beat SR-71...only in consumption aspect! Ya, you really can't compare the Mig-25 to the SR-71. The Mig-25 could do a very short burst to Mach 3.2 with full afterburner in which the engines get destroyed in quick order. The SR-71 can cruise at Mach 3.2+ for very long distances.

GGTharos Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Yup .. that day the USN went off on the USAF and told them their flights would now be making their own decisions and using USN controllers. if it were not tragic, that would be so family guy material.

Pilotasso Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) SR-71 engines were completely different from the foxbat. This ones were just big turbojets, while the blackbirds were hybrid turbojet/ramjet. The reason why it could fly faster for longer periods was because it switched to ramjet mode for supersonic cruise. An option the mig didnt have. The mig did surprise the Israelis and were the only Iraqi aircraft capable of clashing with american aircraft and live to tell the story, thanks to its shear speed. (But then didnt score much a score either) Edited September 1, 2010 by Pilotasso .
RIPTIDE Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 You do know the circumstances under which this happened, right? The F-18's were told to wait for F-15 cover, and were denied self-escort. Were they armed with anything for self defence? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
