JCook Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Someday when I've learned enough about flying the A10C I hope to do some of the missions and campaigns. In general if I'm playing the role of a US Air Force pilot who is my opponent? Russia? Which bases are their's and which are the US allied bases. I'm just not familiar with that part of the world or the geopolitics of the region. It seems and Iraq or Afganistan Theatre would have been more realistic.
Eddie Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 It seems and Iraq or Afganistan Theatre would have been more realistic. Realistic, maybe, boring definitely. Realistic missions as flown in Afghanistan or Iraq would be very boring for most people. Hell, most people don't seem to want to fly for an hour let alone 6+. The fictional scenarios presented in the campaign missions are at least more exciting, if not totally accurate from a political or geographic point of view. As far as publicly available community made missions, very few are realistic anyway so the actual location is of little consequence.
JCook Posted December 31, 2011 Author Posted December 31, 2011 Well - thats a good point. I'd still like to fly those other theatres someday - we can always make them interesting in themission editor I suppose.
Jona33 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 You do have a corner of Iran in the map which you could turn into a strike scenario though it wouldn't be great, but a realistic Afghanistan mission is probably the most boring ever. 8-10 hours, multiple refuels and no knowing if the weapons need to be used. Location isn't enormously important. A bit more of Iran could be a fun mission. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
manfrez01 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 In general if I'm playing the role of a US Air Force pilot who is my opponent? Russia? This is the main reason of my love for FC2. Take a fighter and fight with a fellow ally or not. [sIGPIC]http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/7877/72368977.jpg[/sIGPIC]
ralfidude Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Well there are missions that have insurgents in them... So... there's that! [sIGPIC]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/ralfidude/redofullalmost_zpsa942f3fe.gif[/sIGPIC]
Depth Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Yeah someone should make a mission where you fly for an hour straight to get to the designated zone then chatting and sharing stories with the JTAC for 45 minutes before being relieved by Hawg2 and flying back. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Which is actually fairly easy, the interesting bit is getting the chance of engaging targets. Also easy, why have i not done this yet. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
