Matchstick101 @ {SF2} My BLUFOR Mercenary dream team

sure I do... I love the MirageIII and the Cheetah C is comparable to the F-15 in a straight up dogfight. It's also one of the most advanced fighters based off the older MirageIII/5 other then the KFIR and well the KFIR has some draw backs seeing how most of them are setup for the ground attack roll with no dedicated air detection.

Just wished the helmet mounted hud was modeled in-game.

IDK, I think China would be better off buying the PAK-FA from Russia.. Then again China kind of shot themselves in the foot for ******* off Sukhoi after what happened with the Su-27 deal.

Kfir is a great plane. in fact the Cheetah C aka licensed built South African Kfir did a mock battle with a few USAF F-15s and the score was almost even. Not bad for something based off the Mirage 5.

its called the Ekranoplan. It was a ground effect vehicle also known as wing-in-ground-effect (WIG)

Matchstick101 @ abandoned but never forgotten

I was reading an article that buying one of these is cheaper then you think. The main problem is getting them to fly again. I don't even want to know how much it would cost to rebuild a MiG-25..

then again i don't think the FAA would take kindly to me owning a mach 3 interceptor :P

Matchstick101 @ abandoned but never forgotten

well thats good.... when i first saw this pic i was like "why isn't this in a museum?" god knows its a great part of history

then again Russia is lucky to still have a complete Ekranoplan. The Canadian's only have the nose and cockpit to remind them of the Avro Arrow.

Matchstick101 @ (SF2) Random Russian jets

my bad the Su-34 uses the Su-27 pit.. im thinking of swapping out for the Su-24 pit as it would be a little closer to the real thing

Matchstick101 @ (SF2) Random Russian jets

like everything in life a chinese forum XD

but if you want shoot me a pm as i backed up the Su-34 and the Su-33 to mega... they both are not perfect. the Su-34 canard don't move and it uses the F-111 pit as a stand in

Matchstick101 @ Post-Apoc/BountyHunting/PMC Pilot RP

on a side note to the RP side of things I came up with a great Idea as a baseline for price of aircraft. first we need a year for all this to happen. 2020 maybe? then take the unit cost of your aircraft when new (Mirage III was 7,000,000)

then go here Online-calculators.co.uk its a Depreciation Calculator. Use Straight Line Depreciation with how many years old your aircraft is by 2020.

example: Mirage III would cost $118,644.07 by 2020 (59 years)

example2: A-7 built in 1965 at 2.86mil by 2020 would be $52000.00 (55 years)

Matchstick101 @ Post-Apoc/BountyHunting/PMC Pilot RP

I think I'll still stick with the Mirage IIIS. The Mirage III is still a solid fighter. Maybe if I had money for it after my Mirage III. I would get myself a A-7E for a better ground attack aircraft but the Mirage would come first.

The (S) model Switzerland used had some great upgrades over the years like the TARAN-18 radar, RWR, chaff/flare dispensers among other things.

I think my main two loadouts would be

CAP: 2x AIM-9, 2xAIM-26B, or export counterparts of the two
CAS: 2x AIM-9, 2xMk.82 bombs maybe 4 with modding to the pylon used by the AIM-26B.

my main roll would be CAP seeing how the Mirage is in its element but I could do some light CAS, mainly gun runs with the twin 30mm on soft targets and using the Mk.82's on a few harder targets like armor.

Seeing how we are going with a post societal collapse theme. I would doubt heavy armor would be a common sight on the battlefield.

Just for fun lets say your a mercenary pilot looking to start out in the world and you have a cool $10,000,000 to blow on your first combat aircraft. What aircraft would you buy?

me personally, I would get myself a Mirage IIIS.

I'm all for people loving the US but that video has a point. it seems that most people are just to quick to say that the US is #1 without taking a hard look at this country. sure I love the US but i can call it out on many things it does wrong in the world.

PS: i love watching that show :P
