GlobalAviator Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Hi everyone, I am seeking some advice on 1 vs 2 BVR in the following situation: 1(F-15, me) vs 2 Mig-29s(both set to excellent skill). What has been working for me currently is climbing to 40k+ ft and bugging both in TWS, then firing an AIM-120c at each plane at a distance of roughly 27-28 nm (slightly after burn through). The next thing I do is wait a few seconds and launch another AIM-120 at each plane (distance of about 22nm) followed by an f-pole but with a fairly steep dive until my last seeker goes active at which point I turn perpendicular towards the incoming r-77 until it falls behind me. The problem is what to do if both migs survive? Note: If I down one of the two migs with one of the first four missles, I can take care of the lone mig with the 2 remaining amraams. I believe that I am probably doing at least a few things wrong here and I would appreciate any advice on some of the more favorable tactics used in handling this situation. Thanks in advance.
EtherealN Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 What is the altitude of the target migs? Generally speaking I feel that 20nm is usually the range where I can launch and have a reasonable expectation of a kill, but that depends on what they do. If they defeat that launch which should be fairly easy you'll have spent 4 missiles for nothing.

Cali Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Do a search under tactics (F-15 tactics, Su-27, Mig-29) and it will bring up a bunch of threads that will help you. Here are a few that might help. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=67227 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=57424&highlight=tactics http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=49822&highlight=tactics http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=31377&highlight=F-15+tactics 1 i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED
SUBS17 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 In F4AF I could take on 4 SU27s/Mig29s with an F-15 and the tactic was to fire 2 120s at 1st 2 Flankers at 45000ft then do a 180 with full afterburner(on the whole time) and then after gaining a separation turning back and shooting one Mig with 120 and 4th with Heater. It worked several times and yes a dive to 20K is also an option although high altitude is prefered as you maintain a higher speed. IRL an F-15 can probably launch 4 120s at 4 Migs in TWS mode anyway so little problem with a real one. :thumbup: [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
GlobalAviator Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 Cali, thanks for posting those links, I am going to read through them. SUBS17, thanks I have had some success launching from high altitude, diving, going cold for seperation and repaeting. Ethereal, their altitude varies a bit but lets say they are at about 25k ft. I know 4 missles for nothing is a killer especially if I am carrying a couple of AIM-7s (no more amraam). I believe the tactics I am using will have to be altered based on payload as well.
