SU-27 FLANKER TIME

This was Drewski's first flight with me in the Flanker in a MP server. Just before this, I just quickly went over with him how to work the plane and he basically handled it like a champ. Very impressive!
Drewski: / drewskitheadventurer
Anyway, I managed to use some sneeky breeky tactics to get a handle on the bandits, but we had limited weapons which is why I was using the Rs and such. Also it's been a little while since I've used this puppy so there were some rusty moments. Overall though, it's a lovely plane.

The R-27Rs seem like interdimensional missiles, after traveling about 5 nm they quantum-hop into a universe where the atmosphere is made of honey and as a result lose all their kinetic energy quickly.

"Flanker 5.0"? Is that your way of referring to the current DCS open beta?

[@martinlagrange8821]

@@getsideways7257 Hi there...no, not at all. In the 1990's we had Flanker 1.0 - 1.5; Then we got Flanker 2.0 - followed by Lock On, which was effectively Flanker 3.0. Then there was Flamng Cliffs 2 = Flanker 4.0. With DCS + Flaming Cliffs 3 = Flanker 5.0. Was not meaning to flippant as much as observant.

Nice to see you flying red air. Were you forced by the server to take the normal R-27R & -T versions? No flanker driver uses them if they have access to the ER/ET versions. I agree 100% that the basic R has terrible range, especially in a low tail chase. ET may be the ultimate tail chase missile though.

[@VikingDante983]

This happened on buddyspike '80s server, ET/ER are forbidden there :/
