As to the guided missles, I seemed to get armor kills best by flying in from behind them and leading my shot just in front of their tank.

Any advice for shaking off an F-16 when you are in a frogfoot? I tried climbing into the sun, slowing my speed, and barrel rolls...but it seems that F-16's can drop down to speeds just as slow as mine and pick me off with their cannon. Maybe next time I should find a friendly AA vehicle and circle it instead!

As for the rockets (S-8 I believe, there are 128 of them), they are used against infantry ideally but won't do much damage beyond anything larger than an APC without a direct hit. They are best used when strafing a village with destructible buildings as nothing will be left standing. The frogfoot is a CAS aircraft where as the A-10 is a tank buster. The best way to destroy a tank with the Su-25 is to fire off an AS-10 and if it doesn't kill the tank, a quick burst or two with the cannon should do the trick.

As for getting an F-16 off your tail, call a Mig.

In all seriousness, slowing down is your best bet. Heading into the sun is a good plan slowing down the whole way but shoot for a stall as the F-16 cannot follow you if you both stall your aircraft. Never fly in a straight line and make lots of quick turns as you will be easy prey for the Vulcan cannon. And if there is an anti air vehicle nearby, do a low pass over it then circle it so it will either destroy the opposing aircraft or at the very least scare him off when he starts getting pinged.

Takes about 20 to kill a tank, its not advisable

I think you mean hellfire, hydra is the AA heat seeking missile. Only way to target ground forces accurately with that is if they chuck a molotov or a burning wreckage maybe.
Calling in an air strike with flares, now theres an idea...

A-10 can fire all ammo in 17 seconds apparently :O

They used to be based right near my house till they closed willow grove afb, I'd get a real low flyby every thursday at around 2:45. It was pretty cool, and you could def tell it was no commercial airliner by just the sound.

ah hell i've made a mess of flying the blackhawk to the extent i killed my entire squad when i lost control barrel rolled and slammed into the tarmac and we weren't even out of the airport of al bashra(sp).

after that i kinda hung up my blackhawk wings and stuck to the cobra..
never bothered with the a10 found it more of a liability then an asset when you got bombed by the strafing runs.

It works, thx man

Just kept my throttle between 0 and 20% and pushed my joystick forward, after +-10 seconds I started moving.

The US runway in Kashan is too high though, you can't taxi the F16 onto it.

Edit: Here it is.

**Betterdeadthanred** · 07-04-2007, 05:22 PM

Taking off in F-16s is easy now, it was friggen hard in the earlier beta.

**ikill4aliving** · 07-04-2007, 06:15 PM

yeah, I actually knew how to taxi the jets about 3 days before this guide was put up, but I had no time to show anyone because my internet went down

You dont need any throttle to taxi

So stay on the road. I'm sorry but I still didn't see any problem with taking off with the F-16. 0.o

You mean off the road right? I normally take off next to the runway, but that 's a bit stupid imo... for a mod trying to simulate realism

I just ordered a flight stick,how is everyones flight sticks holding up in this mod?Mine is a CH fighterstick.I'm mostly trying to improve on the landings,once I hit the ground I either flip foward or sideways.

**Gumball** · 07-11-2007, 01:54 AM

is it that easy with a joystick? if it is then that is gonna be after i get my headset. Can anyone recommend some joysticks at a good price?

**ikill4aliving** · 07-11-2007, 02:00 AM

Logitech Attack 3 is a good one that I have thats about $30 USD. You have to have the program it comes with running while playing the game or it wont work right.
