There is a difference between tracking the aircraft as air controller and as a SAM operator. Contrary to that F-117 was special in that way that Iraqi and Yugoslav air controllers were not able to track them reliably (if at all). But SR-71 and A ...

<r> I just ran across another source. This is from an additional interview. Please check the video. Once again, this is from an SR-71 pilot. Again, the video and interview discuss the purposeful stealthing of the craft, and like the original video, the pilot specifies a 1 Sq. meter RCS. I'm not sure ...

I'd just like to chime in and thank Gunner98 for the missions as well as the CMANO team for adding it in as a campaign to the base game. I'm only up to mission #4, but this has been a real eye opener for me, and very fun as well!

I have this issue as well. I can confirm this still exists in build 998.4.

<t> Thanks Mike!<br/>

I found another interesting article on stealth/RCS. This one from computational modelers. Though it doesn't have numbers for the SR-71, it does list a number of other aircraft. I'm sure it would be useful to compare this analysis vs other sources.<br/>

For another thing we don't even know what the relationship is between physical cross section and the actual RCS as the game defines it. <br/>

I would also suggest in the future put something like this ion the database thread and you ...

If its a credible source we'll definitely consider it however we do look for multiple sources and some consensus among them.In some cases though you can actually check things by looking at a photos etc. which can give you a better picture ...

You are putting words in my mouth. I saying the same ting you are. There nothing quantitative in the pilot statement. Its like saying I got my trucks weight down to the same as my Ford Focus. Its all relative. From 11 to 2.5. OK, but is it 3.5 ...

For one thing, its kind of an offhand comment. Like saying my SUV has more room in the back than a car. Might be true, but is he really quantifying it or just throwing out a comparison. Maybe its like, compared to a B-52, it has the cross ...

<r> The video posted by kevinkin is the one I'm referring to at about 11 minutes in. The entire thing is worth a watch too, if you have interest in the SR-71.<br/>

The line between an authoritative source and propaganda is very thin. So ...

Yes, it's a 58 minute presentation/interview. It was recently posted though. It's called SR-71 Overview by Col. James H Shelton, Jr USAF (ret.), and was posted on Sept 12, 2016.

<t> After seeing a link to some interesting F-14 videos, I ran across a video from the PeninsulaSrsVideoas series. I can't link the actual video here due to my lack of posts, but if you do a YouTube search you'll find the video, and at a time stamp of about 11 minutes in, the former SR-71 pilot ...

<t> Any idea why I'm not able to purchase the DLC in Steam? I can select it from the announcement, but it doesn't go into my cart. Also, I don't think I've received a patch. Steam has the game set to auto-update, but I'm currently at version 1.11 Service Release 4 - Build 839.7<br/>

The front runner seems to be the Yak-25M, but I can't find any information to determine if it is realistic to ...

Thanks much for the reply. I had thought of changing the MiGs, but I didn't want to "cheat" per se if this is the way the mission is supposed to be.

I sent a PM to the author, who appears to be Patmanaut.
