Hi Andy, Badboy and Leon,

I can wait for the answers of my questions. But I think the 7 pilots called Maverick, WeeL, Redkill01, Zaggi1, Thunderbolt, Iceman and Cougar can not wait any longer.

Now I know where we have been going wrong... Andy and I have been doing the work of three men

Hi Badboy,

thank you for information me. Sorry for this stupid mistake of me.

P.S. : Andy and Badboy are you DiD´s F-22 Total Air War Fans, too? Take a look to my missile avoiding ACMI. You will like it.

S! Anna

well, you sound like you really know what you are doing
I never had TAW but from flying F-15E I am quite experienced at evading every kind of missile the bad guys had, plus illuminating the target and trying to get a Shack!
I read the US are studying the possible use of Predator UCAVs as Hellfire-carrier systems and therefor some sort of low-cost anti tank weapon;
the UK is also carrying out studies in that direction, so we may well see Typhoon as being one of the last manned fighters-we shall never know right now what the future holds;
Anna, what I wanted to say is that I dont think the UK or the US will ever try to waste their high tech fighters, the F-22 and the Typhoon as a CAS machine, there are some other articles readily available;

I wish you the best for your future flying record, always check six and HORRIDO!

Hi BlackLion,

independend what Janes Information Group, U.S. Airforce or Pentagon write, I always make my own opinion. A waste or loss of aircrafts is only a waste, when the aircrafts will be destroyed. I can not imagine, that air superiority fighters like F-22 or Eurofighter Typhoon will be wasted, when they fly CAS a.s.o. F-22 and Eurofighter Typhoon have got so many advantages (see above). The new smart weapons bring us the stand-off ability additional. Low IR & radar cross section in connection with very low altitude is the future. Playing hide and seek in the ground clutter of enemy radar.

No problem, I was only kidding



You mean you didn't buy the Official F-22 Strategy Guide? Both our names are on the cover

F-22 hasn't been on my HD for a while now though So, now I have a question for you, so that I don't have to do a reinstall, what was your technique?

Badboy

S! Anna

I would say you are maybe right in stating that its only a waste of a/c if they are lost-yet i still maintain that it is a bad tactic to use multimillion dollar fighters against MBTs or APCs;
also, seeing some unwillingness in certain military circles to risk their own a/c and people, I would say this should hold true much more for those next generation fighters;

one more point to think about; but thats a problem of sims in general;
my late grandpa was a fighterpilot in WW2; years ago I showed him my "prowess" in Aces over Europe, where my squad of 4 190D9s engaged double the number of Mustangs;
we hacked the Stangs down without any losses, myself getting 4 kills;
when I asked him afterwards what he thought about it he only said "Nice-problem is, Mustangs seldom attacked in those lowly numbers" what followed were several stories that made one thing clear for me-even the best sim is some way short of reality;

what I wanted to show is that the best tactics worked out in sims may never work in reality;
but of course I do not want to denigrade your fighting ability in any way Anna-I am sure I do not want to meet you in the skies in anything but a friendly a/c

btw, a very well discussion we have here
thx to all contributors

Hi Badboy,

to describe my missile avoiding maneuver I wrote 17 DIN-A4 sheets in german. I am afraid, that you have to reinstall TAW and take a look to my 3 ACMIs in satellite view to convience. I do not want to translate 17 DIN-A4 sheets into the english language. The file tactic.zip include 3 missile avoiding acmis and that german description of 17 DIN-A4 sheets as word 97 document. You can download it at http://mitglied.tripod.de/Mosquitos/71e.htm

P.S.: Andy and Badyboy wrote the strategy guide for TAW. Anna and Maverick will write the tactic guide.

Hi Andy and Badboy,

at this moment our Vice-President and ClubMajor Maverick from Mosquitos Virtual Fighter Wing is asking me one more question relating Rage´s Eurofighter Typhoon.

Question 29 : In 15 nautical miles are four SAM Sites present. When I launch four Anti-Radar missiles ALARM in indirect mode into th target area - will be all four SAM Sites destroyed? Can I lock after launch in order to aquire every SAM Site for each ALARM missile seperatly or the target aquirement will be maked full automatically? I do not want that four ALARMS home on the same SAM Site !!!

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to return to TAW. I'm sure that film is impressive, I'll try to imagine what it looked like

Badboy

Ok, I've just taken off from an airbase near Budhardalur on the west side of the island. I was tasked with the destruction of ground targets deep in enemy occupied territory. I deliberately changed my load out to include six ALARMS. I diverted to an enemy airfield that was defended by several SA-13s and chose a high approach. We were intercepted by Su-27 fighters on the way in and had to fight our way to the target. Unfortunately I lost my wingman and took engine damage from a proximity hit. Even so, I was able to lock onto the SA-13s and launched the first from around 9nm. I was then able to select other SA-13s and launch at them in very rapid succession. I had to select and switch targets manually. I had several SAM launch warnings and saw three of the SA-13s destroyed before I broke off the attack in order to avoid the incoming missiles. I chose a very low egress, but with the engine damage I couldn't get above Mach1. I may have been able to make it back to friendly territory before taking the silk elevator, but with two MiG-29s in hot pursuit, it is more likely I would have been forced to eject into captivity

Not a happy ending to that one, but at least you get an answer to your question, which is not so bad since you didn't answer mine

Badboy

Hi Badboy,

the needed time to install TAW and watch my 3 missile avoiding acmis is not longer than the time you needed to answer my question number 29. By the way you did not unterstand my question.

Question 29 : When you fire the anti radar missile ALARM in indirect mode (lock after launch), the missile will fly 15 nautical miles forward into the target area and will climb up to a very high altitude. Now one parachute will be launched and the missile will glide down over the target area. When four ALARM missiles hang on their parachutes over the target area, and four surface-to-air missile sites will turn on their air-search radar, my question is what will happen? Will the four ALARM missiles home on the same SAM Site or every of the four SAM Sites will be destroyed by an ALARM missile?

P.S. : Nice to reading something from you

Hi ANNA, nice web site you have over at the 'mosquitos'.I once knew a tornado pilot from bielefeld called Thorsten, only he had a diffrent call sign....not you is it? Well I had better install TAW and watch your tracks! see ya

Hi Harrier,

no I am not the Tornado pilot „Thorsten from Bielefeld“. I am Anna, the F-22 virtual fighter pilot from Unna near Dortmund, where the terrible beer comes from.

But you have waked my memories with „Harrier and Bielefeld“. When I was a child (about 8 years) my parents and me visited an air show at the civil airport called „Flughafen Dortmund-Wickede“ in North Rhein Westfalia, Germany. The show master „Wim Thoelke“ of the retired german TV show „Der große Preis“ was moderating this unique military air show at the airport. The climax of the air show were two McDonnell Douglas/British Aerospace AV-8A Harrier II. The take-off was vertical and very loud.The Harriers cruised with a velocity of 1.000 Kilometer per hour (540 kts) over the runway. That was loud, but not as loud as the vertical take-off. At the end of the Harrier show, the jets retired with high subsonic speed to the AFB, Gütersloh, Bielefeld, Germany. The weather was fine but in spite that, I was very impressed how fast the aircrafts disappear, that my eyes could not follow them to the end of the horizon.

In the last time I have got a lot of fun to fly in DiD´s F-22 Total Air War against multiple targets. My weapons loadout are six infra-red guided air-to-air short range missiles AIM-9X Sidewinders. The enemies get the maximum of air-to-air weapons payload. It is a pleasure for me to see, how the enemies try to shoot me with their radar-guided and/or infra-red guided air-to-air missiles. Here are our ACMIS
