A nice way to see the impact of weight and drag on aircraft performance. :) thats what I tried, it's impossible. had to jettison ordnance to have a chance with the gun in A2A. and that's against a circling target that ignores me...

EtherealN Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Well, it's possible to do (I've done it), but you need more than just skill. If you are up real high you're toast, but down on the deck you can work with terrain to even things out (basically make the other guy hesitate about how to maneuver to stay in a controlling position). But yes, the best idea is to just jet the A2G munitions and do what you can to survive, but it's fun as a challenge. :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
BladeLWS Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I'll always carry two sidewinders, just in case I run into a slow mover or helo. Now if MiG's are heading my way its time to turn tail and hit full mil! Has anyone downed a helo with a LGB yet? ;)
Kula66 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Yes in beta 3 my wingman kept cutting across in front of me just once too often ... quick burst of GAU-8 - sorted.

Or why not set weapons to safe/training, performed a simulated gun pass and watch the track to see what you where doing right or wrong? 1 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

"You've commited fratricide! You lost all of your combat scores!" And they can play against another Human without having to start/restart. Instead of having to restart the engine, and the whole process, they can reset, get some separation and practice again. 1 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Stuntie Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 ... Now if MiG's are heading my way its time to turn tail and hit full mil! Reading that I was reminded of the crazy metaller trying to shuffle away from the police in Pick of Destiny. Hits full mil. "Come on Migs - catch me now!". Migs flash past. "Damn!" Has anyone downed a helo with a LGB yet? Wasn't it a strike eagle that got a kill that way in Desert Storm? Cheers Stuntie [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

mic1184 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 Correct: GBU-10 on a Mi-24. Seriously? did the pilots have to pay for their ordnance by then and chose rather not to use missiles anymore? ;-) And surely less than a 2000 pounder wouldn't have been enough taking out that hind.

Mind you, Hind was in a hover at the time. ....And surely less than a 2000 pounder wouldn't have been enough taking out that hind. Don't know about that. Pretty sure that even a 500-pounder or less would have more than sufficed. As it is, visual accounts from the pilots involved stated that the Gunship was "Vaporized". 1 Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?
