Somnus Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 So, I've been playing Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations again recently again and I came across a link to a video (although it's mostly just audio) of a pair of F-14s flying a CAP when they encounter 2 Libyan Mig-23s. It's a pretty interesting listen, and you can really hear the adrenalin of the lead Tomcat pilot as the MiGs close in. The Tomcats changed direction 5 times with the MiGs matching each time before the decision was made to engage. http://theaviationist.com/2015/10/31/impressive-previously-unreleased-footage-shows-how-two-f-14-tomcats-shot-down-two-gaddafis-mig-23s/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britchot Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I used to have this on VHS waaaay back in the day, elementary or middle school for me. I had the dogfight dubbed onto a cassette tape and used to listen to in on my Sony Walkman while riding the bus to and from school on some days. Yeah, I'm that old My favorite line: "I can't, I can't. I can't get a f*ing tone!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerfass Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Listening to that really makes me want to get some planes in DCS. Maybe it will be less strenuous than dogfighting in 109s and Fokkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somnus Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 @britchot Yeah, that line was great! He got it right after, and that growling tone got my adrenaline pumping! @f0x Well, with DCS the biggest problem right now is being able to pick the d*amn planes up visually! Of course, that's not so much a problem the more modern you go, but still! I need to find some time to get start flying DCS again. Maybe with the release of 1.5 or 2!

I heard all of that was fixed with "Edge" is that it? All my DCS time is flying the TF-51D around the patch. Relaxing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've fixed the visual range problem with the 1.5 Open Beta. There is now a toggle in the options area, between Original, Standard and Enhanced. It's really awesome.
