<r> Thanks Gunner. The SR-71 has long been a favourite of mine too. It's such a beautiful aircraft. <br/> <br/> I love this story from an ex SR-71 pilot, Maj Brian Shul USAF (Ret):<br/> <br/> First link is the story with images: <URL url="https://youtu.be/Lg73GKm7GgI">https://youtu.be ...
<t> Hey all,<br/> <br/> Playing the last scenario in COW and I have a B-1 loaded with JASSM-ER omni-directional EMP weapons. I haven't worked out the best way to use these for maximum effect.<br/> <br/> From what I can tell, they differ from the high-altitude airburst EMP weapons in that the ...
<t> Thanks to everyone for your input. Just to be clear, this wasn't a whinge, just a question. The main reason I asked was that in a number of COW scenarios there is a hefty points penalty for losing one of your own aircraft. I thought there may be a more efficient way of minimising the risk to my ...
<t> You can't shoot them with any aircraft launched AAW weapons. The ceiling of the various types of AMRAAMs is 80,000 ft from memory.<br/> <br/> The ship launched AAW weapons, SM-2 etc will get there when the ships are in range.<br/> <br/> Without giving away too much, I was able to identify ...
<t> Thanks for the responses guys.<br/> <br/> If I got this right the AMRAAM and equivalents are not truly 'fire and forget'. They still need in flight guidance for longer range shots until the missile itself goes active. <br/> <br/> From what Gunner has said that guidance can be provided by a ...
<t> Hey all,<br/> <br/> Just a query about behaviour in an AAW Patrol. <br/> <br/> As an example I have F-18Es with AIM-120D on an AAW Patrol with a prosecution zone. Bogeys are identified as Su-27s (armed with PL-12 missiles). <br/> <br/> The F-18s head off into the prosecution zone to ...
<t> Hey jmax, don't overthink it. [:)] It is what it is - the fact is that Taiwan and Philippines are not players in this scenario and as long as you play within the boundaries of the scenario you can do whatever you want. <br/> <br/> A couple of other things to note:<br/> <br/> - this is a pre ...
<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Can anyone tell me what the point threshold for victory is? <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> 2000 points<br/> <br/>
<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: jmax<br/> It sounds like you had a turkey shoot, but based on your experience, what would you say is the bare minimum of ...
<r> Hey all,<br/> <br/> I used a very similar strategy to DismalPseudoscience and got through first go and no losses at all. <br/> <br/> Some <SIZE size="3"><s>[size=3]</s>**MAJOR SPOILERS**<e>[/size]</e></SIZE> ahead, so please don't read if you want to do this yourself:<br/> <br/> <br/> <br ...
<t> Thanks Søren. Makes sense. <br/> <br/> I know the probability of a kill would be low given an incoming 2300 kt AS-4 and an outgoing 1700+ kt SM-1 but I thought they may have at least had a go rather than waving at the missile as it went whistling by. <br/> <br/> Even a small probability of a ...
<t> Playing 'Damn the Torpedos' and loving it.<br/> <br/> Lost the USS Pharris but was otherwise going ok until Task Group/convoy was detected. Had three Backfires inbound - shot down two but two AS-4 Kitchens were fired at near max range.<br/> <br/> Question relates to anti-air defences. Even ...
<t> No worries. Thanks for the quick reply Mike.<br/> <br/> Made a stupid mistake in a scenario and hadn't saved for hours and hours of in-game time. The 100 sec autosave didn't take me back far enough to fix the mistake, so either I live with it or go back to the last manual save.<br/> <br/> I ...
