I'm proud to say that Red Star went to full beta-test mode this morning. Hope to have the package ready for full release in a week or so....barring major alterations. Sad

Told you not to get between the element leader and his wingie.....those AIs can be tenacious once they lock on. Cry

But it's like getting thrown from a horse; you gotta get right back on. Kiss

Your alright Doug. My aim's so good the enemy don't stand a chance...

...unfortunately neither do I as we both come crashing down in a crumpled heap...

Happeened at least 4 times already. 2 of those (may have been 3!) were on the first mission! Grin

Knowing Doug, as I do, it takes something special to get him to strap on a combat plane these days. Brave Lad that. Wink

Ahhhhh. The Grasshopper has achieved jet combat enlightenment amidst the cry 'Airbrake, what airbrake?'. Welcome to the club! Grin

My deflection shooting is still superb! I can take a B-29 out at 1300 yds Shocked

But dogfighting 6 F-84s in my Mig when my idiot wingmen crash into each other is proving a little tricky...
I've got a Red Banner already Shocked

I've also got lots of lead buried in my poor little Mig Cry

How the **** do you fight when your engine lag can be measured on the calendar? Grin

CFS2 cannot operate the airbrake on the AI, and if your wingmen are sent into an attack in a direct dive from above they can easily 'Fox Four' the target aircraft or each other. I usually avoid this by either attacking from a level altitude, or passing above the target and then sending the wingies into attack. That causes them to slow in a turning attack to get on the enemies tail...as you know the AI always attacks from astern. I had to hobble the B-29's 20mm tailgun to keep them from wiping out my flight. Cry

Welcome to the world of pre-afterburner jet engines, but you'll soon get the hang of it. Jets take some serious adjustment. You might also find that straightline slashing attacks on the target are more effective than getting into a turning match. LOL. Wink

You might find that the MiG's best combat speed is between 275 and 300 knots. And though acceleration may seem slow now, no opponent can out-accelerate or outrun you.....I promise. 8)
