What type of radar did the Iraqis have in Baghdad?
If the stealth ability of the F-117 is truly as bad as it is modeled in WT, how did they manage to circle directly above the city without being accurately engaged and destroyed?
From the limited testing I have done in custom battles, it seems the stealth is hmmm kinda OK-ish in the frontal aspect, but absolutely awful in rear aspect. So how then do you circle and still remain undetected?
Can’t wait to see this honestly.
Oh, I’m definetly going to play this thing
Are the thermals going to be good?
Its a shame I play Britain. Hunting the horde of F-117s in the Sea-Vixen would have been fun
Just bring Swift F.7
(realised I didnt specifiy i meant in Sim)
US and Britain are always queued together. These are going to be really common in Sim
7.7 to 9.7 would be hellhole if you have US as teammates lol
In Sim at least, it will be fine, barely anyone plays the bracket anyway :D
Given the current missile models, my money is still on the F117 unfortunately
if the Red Tops can lock, then they are perfectly usable, especially if you come up behind a F-117 That has no idea you are even there. They are just bad in a dogfight.
also, they are designed to lock onto sub-sonic jets and even props in all-aspect, even with IR reducing things the F-117 is probably hot enough for a lock most of the time
It is played!
Mostly by bombers.
So many bloody bombers.
… That all leave if you fly out a fighter and start shooting them.
(experience so far with the F2H2 and F86A5)
9/10 I go to play the Javelin or Sea Vixen, there is no lobbies at all. So I may just be getting unlucky. But yeah, hunting Tu-4s is fun. Until they rage quit. Though them calling me a noob for using a missile instead of guns on the Sea Vixen is always funny
I mean sure if you catch someone complete unaware just about anything works.
But the number of times I’ve seen guys dive away and out accelerate red tops with the Sea Vixen has left me very disappointed, especially since they should have atleast some limited all aspect capability.
True, but the advantagte of Sim is that most are unawares usually and you can set up good intercepts with the radar.
Also, Red tops should have full all-aspect, easily able to lock onto a sub-sonic aircraft at 3.5km.
I need to go back to sim, I haven’t played there much recently. Mostly been hunting airplanes in GRB.
Nothing quite as satisfying as jumping in the Lynx and sprinting to an ambush point and ATAS’ing guys in SU-25’s and A-10’s who think they’re safe. Very sad when the Lynx got moved up.
Now I have to fly the OH58. But thinking about jumping over to Italy to do the same with the Gazelle and its mistrals
Yeah, I normally just do that with the FRS1. One good thing from the decompress is that I can bring the SQV instead of the FRS1e so I get 2x more 9Ls.
Yeah that was what attracted me to the Vixen, other than being an aviation guy and it being a neat niche aircraft. Being able to punish unaware CAS and ignorant PE-8 players trying to spam GRB was hilariously fun.
Just wish you could initial spawn in a CAP plane and I’d play a lot more jet
I’m still hoping this thing is at least 9.7 for grb, otherwise… it’s gonna be A-4E ALL OVER AGAIN. AAs won’t be able to kill it, and it will get free kills.
it is precisely the BRs I predicted. 8.7 for air and 10.0 for ground.
