All I'm saying is the F-15 is like 200-0 in real combat.  I'm already hearing from Lock-On community that the Mig29 dominates Online.  Those UBI guys are having a ball with this I'm shure..can you imagine, "Oui Oui we'll show those American Cowboys , Oui Oui.. pass the Goose Liver."

LMAO what's the record in real life of a fighter got to do with any sort of comparison in some computer sim? Always find the detailed discussion of how a plane might be modeled in some computer sim compared to the real thing very laughable.

are you speaking of U-571 and the film adaptation of Orwell's Animal Farm? Never saw the latter but liked the book. Thought U-571 was pretty spectacular but what was up with Submarines firing torpedoes at each other while submerged? I was under the impression that WWII era subs barely had the ability to hit surface ships with their straight-running, contact and magnet-fuzed torpedoes. Here they were firing screws at each other like it was out of a Clancy Novel... Always found Mathew Maconoghey(or whatever the spelling is) to take away from the credibility of whatever movie he's in, with the exception of Dazed and Confused, of course.

Anyway, sweet.

Strickly IRL, I'd like to see the two pilots of equal skill and physical condition dogfight f15s and mig29s(with both planes also being in equal states of repair). I bet the kill/death ratio wouldn't be nearly as lopsided as indicated by the one improvised statistic you provided. Baring any mechanical/electronic failures from poorer Russian production standards, I'd say a late model Mig29 would be a great match for the Eagle.

As far as I know only a US sub scored a sub-to-sub kill with torpedoes by catching a Jp. submarine charging their batteries in the surface.

There was no way for them to fire on a submerged vessel, unless they could see the periscope sticking out and know for a fact that its not one of theirs.

exactly my point, and yet in the movie, they were exchanging fire like it was routine. Underwater battle among subs was simply not possible prior to sixties technology, and even then it was iffy at best.

You DID miss something, this is the O'Club.

If you stay quiet, the rest of the kids won't point and laugh as much as they do right now.
