homepage Forums Read Only Forums Read Only Forums Jane's USAF (Read Only) Is the "Game" balanced and realistic yet?

The original game reminds me of an old book from the "Wingman" series I found, the Russian planes don't turn and the Russian missiles don't work.

In real life with good pilots on both sides, a Mig-29A can expect a 1 to 1 kill ratio, even in relatively large battles.

Has this been adressed?
Thank you

As far as Im concerned can a game ever be deemed as "realistic"?...ive been in an RAF simulator, getting chucked about in tight turns,combat manoeuvers and turbulent landings now thats what I call realistic...no sim could come close,not that ive seen yet....

Myself, I've made the S-37 and the Su-35 subtypes of the F-22, so it has thrust vectoring. I also made their weight a bit lower then the F-22's, so it handles better. Very cool and fun to fly!

I heard that either in Superpro or Admin that they were going to cut the F-22. I hope they keep the F-22 flight model though, for these planes. I've seen the Su-35 doing better maneuvers than what's possible in USAF (cobra, hook, somersault, etc. ).

the realistic sims as far as known are
Flight Simualtor (.....,98,2000,2002,2004)
Falcon 4 SuperPaK 3
Lo:Mac (coming soon we hope !!!!!! )

now, IAF/USAF has some realistic stuff
but not in such high levels

i also heard that Flnker 2.51 is good
and has the abilty to the "Cobra"
but i don't know much about the game although i have it :rolleyes:
and some Lo:Mac models are taken from Flanker
the same company created them both

What I heard about LOMAC was that there will be added 30% of effectivity for US planes so I wouldnt call it realistic if it is true :-)

Nesher is right.

You can also add Jane's F/A-18 to the list. That's what we call "hardcore sims". These sims are very realistic compare to USAF. To me USAF looks more like an arcade game than a sim. But it is perfect for beginners who never play flight sims. I myself began playing flight sims with USAF. It has very basic avionics and flight models, but it includes a lot of fun missions.

ur right, Jane's F/A-18 and even Jane's F-15
are both in the realsitic catagory
and also i forgot IL-2 Sturmovik and
Sturmobik Forgotten Battles

I have modified FA to give it the right kill ratio even against humans (almost) and I managed to implement the cobra.

How would I go about tweaking weapons in USAF?

Avi, how do you get the plane to do 90 degrees aoa? In the videos I've seen of the Su-27 doing the cobra, it moves completely horizontal while the nose points straight up.
