USAF Swiss Army Knife (interesting read)

Is an article about how the USAF is looking to find ways to get more out of the existing fleet of aircraft in new ...

Re: GBU-31 Anti Ship

OHHH....now I'm with you. I really wasn't thinking of this as a front line weapon and while cool to have sure, the practicality seemed a bit off to me. The media outlets that talked about made it seem like this new cool weapon that's just like a torpedo in it's kill ability, but dropped from an ...

Re: GBU-31 Anti Ship

Right I understand what it does. It was also touted as being an aerial dropped version of a torpedo with torpedo-like effects. Now while the effects might be similar, I'm thinking a JDM is a lot easier for air defenses to defeat than a torpedo is to defeat.

So my question is, which one has a better ...

GBU-31 Anti Ship

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed....

Couple questions. Is the anti ship variant of the GBU-31 modeled in Command?

And does this variant more difficult to shoot down than a Harpoon for instance? Are there advantages of the weapon because it is more difficult to defeat?

Thx!

Re: Harrier/F-35B hover

I figured as much. Thanks.

Back in the 80's the AV-8's deployed in parts of Europe were trained to use road tunnels as makeshift bunkers. The idea was they would use these as FOB's and attack Soviet troop and artillery positions. I was trying to model that.

Harrier/F-35B hover

Hi all,
I searched the forum with no luck. This can't be the first time this has been asked, so sorry for the repeat....

Why is it that I cannot get AV-8Bs or the F-35B to hover? Is it just not modeled or not considered practical and therefore not modeled or and I just doing something totally wrong?

USAF modern tactical Offensive Jammer (like the Growler)

Hi.

What is the USAF current tactical Offensive jamming aircraft similar to the Growler? I read up and found the F-15X has this ability but not in CNO load outs.

There is the EC-37, but I was thinking there was a tactical version similar to the EF-111 or similar.

Anyone know?

Re: quickest cheapest way to defeat s400 system

Haha....well no one can argue that point!!!

In my case I was going up against the S300 and I used two AH-64E.

But I also tried several times with different approach angles. So my losses were significantly higher than yours.

Re: quickest cheapest way to defeat s400 system

So if we are building scenarios we should avoid the S300/S400 SAMs?

I went back through the tutorials. They are pretty fun all on their own. But, I think it's called Laser Dance (tutorial #4) has the two Harriers and an SA-10. I've been trying different assets and load outs to see what works. The ...

Re: Setting Helos on a relative bearing ASW station

Fair.

All the better reason to build scanarios to test it all out.

You make a great point.

Re: Setting Helos on a relative bearing ASW station

Fundamentally it's all the same thing. You just need to learn how to deploy assets. What you do with those assets might change from one platform to the next but only by the modeling. Learning the mechanics is where I am.

And yes. I've done ALL of the tutorials. They were all excellent. Very ...

Easy 301, THANK YOU!!

Very well explained. Much appreciated!

I understand what you are saying about playing more and not trying to build scenarios, but, I'm a long time Harpooner. I built many scenarios on that platform and I'm trying my hand at converting them over to CMO. Things are so similar ...

Setting Helos on a relative bearing ASW station

Hi all,
I'm building a scanario (and this question is also for regular game play) and I'm trying to figure out how to set up stations for Helos to operate in when conducting ASW ops within a formation of ships.

Can someone explain how to do this?

Need more detail? Ok no worries....
