And if necessary can have a plough attachment to help with glorious grain production for the motherland
The LatLong is in the screenshot. Lets go find it
Ach! Youāre right! Watching it on my phone, it was too small to see.
Oh no! Itās just a little mod Iām working on. This was the proof of concept now Iām going to do it properly
I was going to say, Google Earth satellite shows that particular spot to be quite a bit rockier than DCS impliesā¦
Wouldnāt be a good super villain hideout if it was on Google Earthā¦
Parked up for the night. Took a long flight up the Lebanon coast after smacking a radar in the Viper instant action Canyon Run mission.
Delivering lasers for the sharks?
Nah, I donāt think he trusts us enough for that just yet.
Toilet paperā¦hey, it pays the bills
10 mudspike points for the first person to get a MK82 through that gap and live
I tried out the MiG-19 a bit, have barely flown that bird. Goodness, what a hotrod! Fun!
I fought the instant mission against two F-5ās. Rather than commit to a turning fight straight away, I decided to go for a climbing orbit and see what the F-5ās would do.
The F-5 pair didnāt react that well to my wingman and I being up high - they managed to get separated from each other in the mountainous terrain, allowing me to position for a gentle unloaded dive for a rear aspect IR missile shot:
I lit the cans and reassumed a climb, ordering my wingman to engage the other F-5, who was down below and behind us, trying to catch up to us. My plan was to get out of phase with him as my wingman kept him busy and repeat my missile trick. It didnāt quite work out - my wingman managed to shoot him down before I had a shot! Ah well, one for each of us, I guess.
We landed back at Nalchik and raided the anti freeze cupboard in celebration.
It really is a fun aircraft to fly. It is actually one of my all time favorites to just experiment with dogfighting etc. Something about it.
The MiG 19 still sits in my hangar pretty much untouched. I am looking forward to getting into this bird but want to finish the Kursant campaign first (slow progress though so I am risking the MiG 17 gets across this plan (which I would not mind tbh )).
The training and campaign for the 19 are quite exceptional. @Baltic_Dragon obviously had fun doing what heās great at making those. Too bad they had to tone the accent down
Is that what happened?
I did chuckle at the trainerās chat about English lessons - did his accent used to be thicker? Thatās a shame, lol!
The 19 is my favourite Russian bird to fly. Its in the sweet spot of not trying to kill me every time I go fast like the 15 and not trying to kill me because Iām going to slow like the 21.
Itās smooth ride, great power and fairly benign handling make it a pleasure, its a nice stable gun platform as well. Plus she is utterly gorgeous
And once you pull the trigger on those gunsā¦
check notes
Yup, thatās accurate.

Unlike the MiG19 guns!
