More SEAD in the Viper, HARMS this time, not really relaxing, but my favourite mission profile at the moment..... Using both HARMS in HAS mode for closer in and RUK mode for stand off against longer range threats. RUK mode, 2 attack runs and evasion in HAS mode, I really love the Viper!!! After that second vid, I still had plenty of fuel so I shot down a couple of Mig 23's just for good measure before landing, what a plane!!!

So playing around a bit more with optical mavs...... Urgent intel just in, special forces observers have just reported in, a helicopter is being prepped to take off, carrying a high value target, can't be allowed to leave. The area is protected by 3 SAM systems and AAA positions, you have around 10 mins from scramble to neutralise the SAM's and disable the helicopter, to allow A 10's to level the rest. Sure, no problem, i've got a Viper.... Co-ordinates of the SAM's and Helicopter have been uploaded to the Viper (me on the ground in actuality along with Boresighting the mav seeker heads....) Scramble...... On the way up.... Target area afterwards less than 10 mins after scramble..... Disabled Helicopter, On the way home,

Loving Mavericks in the F16 in the latest beta which fixed the pre mode for using them,

How low is to low in a dogfight......

So I succumbed to buying the MB-339 today to get a slightly faster fix in this, and whist its not a grey jet, it goes someway to scratching that itch.... The clouds in this game are just something else, it doesn't really matter to me at the moment where I'm flying, just give me broken clouds!!!!! I love them!!!! Edit, I had no idea where I landed, other than north west ish of London, after a bit of searching on google maps (sorry microsoft.....) found it was Abingdon Airfield, just south of Oxford, https://goo.gl/maps/zzhaTsDc3zi9AmuJ9

Fighters are for protecting the bombers. If fighters can take bombs, no point in the bombers. Want to bomb something, take a ground attack plane, want to shoot other planes down, take a fighter... My two cents....

I got around to patching this yesterday, all 29 gigs of it! Had a bimble around the grand canyon then somewhere in England (don't actually know where i clicked, somewhere in the middleish!). Turned everything up to Ultra for shits and giggles, and in 4K, my eight core overclocked to 5.0Ghz and Rtx 2080Ti with 11gig of memory and superfast fibre, can just about get mid 30's fps, lol. But, but, those clouds are so bloody amazing!

Todd made a 1 v 1 mission in RoF way back when, in the same style as the old one on il2, so it is possible to do in GB, lol. Not by me though, life is to short to use the GB ME.

And something a little bit quicker.....

Since we don't have one..... I'll start,

Very!

Its a step in the right direction.... but its still sub sonic!

mmm, pretty..... Might mean my current desktop background might change soon

Axis. Just cooler tanks! But where's my tiger, sniff.....🤣

Reporting for duty.

Its good, and I got it for free (Enough DCS miles!) Laser guided rockets are great fun, and the helmet cuing system is v cool.

You need to enable 'mods on' in the game as well, in settings.

A couple more,

A few vids tooling around, New York, the Pyramids and Ha Long bay.
