Watching those flyby shots with that lighting and seeing the F1s tearing over.....takes me back 30ish years with the only difference being it was sunset and those planes were real and taking off from AFB Waterkloof and going over my childhood home.

[@jeancpt]

The South African pilots faired very well against the cuban pilots because of superior training and logistics. When Russia sent russian pilots, that's when the SAAF started getting into difficulties. But never a whitewash. It's a very fascinating topic to research. Because of the embargo, South Africa designed and/or modified existing equipment. But take the likes of the G6, rattel, Rooivalk helicopter and the cheetah. Those were up there with the best in the world and sometimes if not better.

[@akken2112]

There is no credible evidence that proves the Soviets sent fighter pilots to Angola to fight against the Boers.

[@jakeslouw3416]

In fact, Dick Lord was an F1 pilot in that conflict and was instrumental in starting the Top Gun program in the USA.........

[@Ghoulza]

biggest issue SA had was the lack of planes and parts, they had to choose when to use their planes. added to that Angola was one of the deadliest airspaces in the world with the latest Russian anti-air. Cuba and Russia could afford to loose planes SA could not

[@AndySpicer]

@@LuckyVixen95 I also have all the gear. I have an X-52 that I bought a long time ago to use in MSFS to keep somewhat current on IR procedures which I’ve hardly used. I’ll upgrade that stuff as soon as I convince myself that I’m gonna have the time for it that I need to do what I want to do with it. I’m a fairly serious sim racer and have been for years but it’s hard to keep up with the best young guys without a lot of time practicing. It is definitely harder in a race car to come from a physical world race car into a sim than the other way around so that hurts me as well. I suspect that fact to be the same in DCS.

You might be persuading me to buy this module - looks like fun - kind of a 1970s JF and therefore so much cooler :-)! Singore's Sabre taking out the MiG21 and 23 was really impressive!

[@kenhelmers2603]

I just waiting for Cap to get stuck in the eye by a wingtip missile! LOL He do get close!

[@rogerpennel1798]

The SAF Mirage F1s were at a significant disadvantage during the Angolan War. They didn't carry Matra 530s and their heat-seeking missiles were either early sidewinders or Magic I missiles which were rear aspect only missiles. Their electronic countermeasures and radar warning receivers were poor. In comparison, the MiG-23 had better speed, acceleration, and climb. They were armed with BVR SARH missiles, a radar with look-down shoot-down capability, and R60 heat-seeking missiles with all aspect capability.

[@dannsgamingfails8899]

In the late 80’s an Angolan pilot defected to South Africa, crash landing his MiG in the then South West Africa. Upon interrogation they found out the amongst others the Angolans didn’t have proper maps, they were issued with the maps you buy at service stations. So yeah, I don’t think their training was good

[@Mobius118]

I mean failures are realistic so is it a big, or a feature?

[@cover_now3425]

Im told it was a “feature”. Apparently the alternators will fail if they over heat due to lack of airflow…but flying at a normal AoA and highish speed up high, Im surprised it would fail that way.

All of my alternators failed, flying high and fast, even in the turn didnt get above 3.9g and no high aoa... 🤷‍♂️

[@UkDave3856]

@@Mobius118 I get that, so maybe not a bug so much as over sensitivity, as I’ve experienced this at least 3 times when flying straight and level at FL300 at Mach 0.8. 30k feet at subsonic speeds is pretty much the bread and butter of any fast jet, so maybe the failure algorithm needs to be tweaked if that’s what’s causing this
