On the old models, the thing is they actually do not bother me much. Working mostly with the MiG-21 and the F-5, I have been using the Phantom in pretty much every mission over the last years. And while the model is old, it does the job. Within a mission I mostly see the smoke trail, the big afterburner, the characteristic shape and in fact couldn’t tell from the cockpit whether it is a nice model or not. I am just glad that this incredible important aircraft is there to use in Cold War missions.
well, thinking that way we would never have improvements dude…at dogfight distances it could even be a 15 poly 3D max teapot but guess you would not be very happy with it dont you?, so it doesnt mean they didnt had the time to improve the LOMAC era 3d models in 15 years.
A few screens from mission 1 tonight. The old man manged to bag two MiG-21s (1 x AIM9M, 1 x AIM7) and got everyone home. In fact the flight did fairly well despite leaving 4 minutes late. And in general, we got lucky avoiding SAMs. SEAD and strike could have been better. To the O club lads!
Sorry that I don’t have any BFM shots. Was too dang busy navigating and fighting. Will probably watch the replay one day. It wasn’t pretty.
Engine start. Man, they sure don’t like us to mix with the locals, do they.
PS: thanks a bunch @MBot. That was a lot of fun. I bet that you’ll let us fly as strike in the package once the Hornet is out Oh yeah, I guess that we might have a SoH map then too.
