Just a theory............. Back to back Russian Front scenarios suck.


My sentiments exactly.  I do not care for Eastern front setups, including the vaunted "Finn-Russ" setup which everybody seems to love so much that it runs about once a month.  I know its a great map and plane set but its getting a little stale IMO.  I also understand that you can't make everybody happy every week and I usually will fly in setups that are not my favorites, but I just can't take two consecutive weeks of the Eastern Front.  Nothing against those that like Eastern front setups but they are not my cup of tea.

Whatever happened to BOB?

I'll let Duke answer what he flew. The USN, and USMC , do the F-14 , and F-18. Duke being a Sailor , means he flew the Tomcat or, Hornet. I think the Navy does have a few F-16s, but they are used as aggressor aircraft, at Top Gun school.

The Air Force is the big user of the F-16 Falcon, along with the F-15 Eagle.

Again Shane, I never claimed to be , not even a good sim pilot, however, you keep saying that I am not. So with this I must defend myself...at least a little.

Sure, you say I can not dogfight so most if not all of my kills come from cherry pick'en..well I am sure there are many guys that read this that know different. They know it, and I need not say much further to make you grit ur teeth...but I will anyway.

Some of my best stats:

June 2003
Tempest
73 Credits
  7 Deaths

F4U-1D
38 Credits
  4 Deaths

July 2003
P-40
56 Credits
  2 Deaths

Sept 2003
P-38L
34 Credits
  3 Deaths

F4U-1D
30 Credits
  1 Death

Sept 2002
A6M2
80 Credits
34 Deaths

I am sorry you dont believe me about the nose bounce stuff. Most is gone now but flying these sim birds at stall speed...well...what 1Duke1 said!


Anyway, back to the topic.

The Apology (sorry Lowe) was for me being such a GV dweeb. I let the silly base capturing decide my playing strats instead of enjoying the dogfighting. However, remove the JG3 base capture, and the furballing (not "dogfighting")...and there is nothing left :rolleyes:

Why does it bother you that they capture bases? It doesnt bother me, not to the point where I will put my squad in gvs for a whole night.

Base capture sucks, and does not belong in the CT.  The most fun I have had is planning b17 missions deep into germany to hit factories.  

The most realistic, fun fights, ever.

Erg,

Flew the F-14B.  Really miss it, but things happen for a reason.  It will be a sad day when the F-14 is finally phased out, I personally believe it was a very bad decision by the Navy.

Lowe,

I'm not 100% positive, but don't think Navy aggressor's are flying the 16's anymore.  I do know F-5's, and F-18's are primary Aggressor aircraft.  There was one aggressor squadron still flying A-4's, but not sure if it has been de-commed or not.

 It always seems someone wants to "phase out" a bad-ass plane. Like the A-10 before Desert Storm. Or even the F-111.

Yeah Duke, I wasnt sure if that what the Navy did with them or not. I know I saw one at Davis Monthan AFB in 1992. It was painted in the Soveit style camo scheme, so I assumed the Navy used it for an aggressor aircraft. Could have also been a test bird of some kind. Hey Slash , this was post Desert Storm, and I was standing on top of an A-10 preping it for an engine change.

Actually the 27th FW " Flying Tigers" , or 23rd I can't remember sent it's A-10s. Also the wing I was in at the time  the 602nd ACW, sent  OA-10's, which is just an A-10 used for FAC duties, to Desert Storm.
