Oh man, I just got myself into a furball with Mig21s in my AF Korea2005 campaign. It is only day 2 and there are still lots of enemy planes up, mostly swarms of 21s. Tonight I was doing a 2 ship LGB attack on an underground factory and I knew 21s were in the area on ingress but I wanted to drop my bombs before worrying about them, and CAP flights have been good on my past few missions. However this time on egress I ran pretty much straight into a group of 4 that seemed to pop up out of nowhere at 5-10 miles, I couldn't get a bead on them visually or on radar, didn't know altitude. My wingman was off chasing AN24s because I told him to engage earlier and thought he was going after the 21s while I pulled out of my bomb run.

Anyways I managed to shoot down one of the 21s with an Amraam at short range when I finally managed to pull them up on radar, but in my panic I accidentally ripple fired the rest of my 120s when I meant to lock up the next target! (3 wasted 120s) Then suddenly the merge is all over me and the 3 Migs go every which way, I have barely any SA, I grope around trying to find a target and soon I have a Mig right on my tail and another a few miles behind! I think my wingman finally showed up and shot down a 21 before he crashed into the ground for some reason. I briefly tried to break and get the close 21 off my tail but I pulled too hard and can't get an advantage so I tried extending for awhile in full AB when I realized this guy had no missiles either.

After putting some distance between us I pulled into the vertical for all I was worth but was careful to let up on the Gs when I reached corner velocity. Coming down on top of him it quickly descended into a turning circle with me at an energy advantage and this time slowly but surely he stalled out trying to follow me around the circle and I got on his tail! Unfortunately I missed my gunshot and he dove and ran. I was almost out of fuel and had to let him go. I managed to land at my alternate with like 100 lbs of fuel. I was just glad I didn't accidentally shoot my wingman down with all those errant 120s. For all I know he crashed trying to avoid my missile. One more 21 of the 4 original was unnaccounted for, maybe he bugged out as well.

So, I recently purchased a Cougar and absolutely love it! So, I downloaded Jagstang's configuration files (slightly modified to allow me to change the hud color) to the cougar and went back into the training missions to get used to the new mapping. In the Air-to-Air Radar training mission, I am used to having my ass handed to me by the migs that seem to be all over the sky with me saying, "where the hell did they all come from?" Well, it wasn't THAT bad -- I'd manage to get a few of them before running out of fuel. Ah, but the cougar changed things: the layout is very well done. I was able to use TWS and fire off two 120s (they went pitbull immediately) to take out two 29s, the thumb the dogfight switch and change to vertical ACM radar and splashed another plane that looked like a mig-19 (not sure what that was, but he was running with the wrong crowd) with an AIM-9. And I still had time to switch to guns and spend the energy on pulling the gun-cross in front of one of two more 29s crossing below me from left to right. He was out of plane, but I couldn't miss. After that I unloaded and went to the deck in full AB. Looking behind me I watched two turn and chase me. With all my new energy I went vertical with a slow pull -- I think they lost me for a bit, because they were slow to start their climb. at about 20K I pulled the nose down hard and lost a lot of airspeed. During the pull, a my RWR chirped and showed a 29 had me on his radar, but I have the advantage of knowing that he doesn't have any missiles and I've got all the energy. So, I sent two 120s after him, switched to AIM9s and splashed the trailing plane (again, it looked like a 19, but I'm not sure). At this point I get my fuel warning and I'm feeling pretty good as I start looking for a place to land -- I've never gotten this far in this training mission. I was feeling pretty good as I was heading toward the coast when I see tracers wizzing over my canopy slightly to the right. I break hard left, and am trying to not present a solution to the shooter while I'm frantically looking for him. Back on the burner now, I'm getting the fuel warning and finally see the shooter running away to the north. Decided not to follow -- by now my goal is to land. Couldn't find a runway and saw what looked like a long dark street and decided to give it a shot. Came down over some trees and touched down. Hit the brakes and just about stopped. Hit the trees at the far end and exploded!
