I will fire when I am...

Just got back into playing DCS online and I have been frustrated as all hell. Got into a Mach 1+ tail chase with Mirage should have nailed that sucker, but I ran out of gas.

Wasn't a bad day, took out a SU-27, an AI-FISHBED, and an AI-FOXHOUND (with a winder and guns).

Still angry I couldn't wax that Mirage grrrrrr attack

Way over in Perth, Western Aus...
Can't believe you didn't get him!!! Can't believe that Sidewinder missed... On frustration - I love flying the Su-33 and 27 but the SARH R-77ER frustrates the living hell out of me - sometimes you cn fire four of them and all will miss. I got so fed up with them I stopped flying those ac so I wouldn'get get so annoyed. I wonder if they are just really bugged, or are they that unreliable IRL?

I did not have good tone with that winder I let go, if only I had waited a few seconds more it probably would have nailed him.

Not sure why a single cannon shell did not hit him, I was tracking him good or so I thought.

I was trying to get speed on him so I could ram him, but once I got down to 500 lbs I knew it was over.

Curious to see if they will ever bring JHMCS and AIM-9X into play with DCS. And give the F-15C the upgraded AESA radar. Right now the externally the F-15 looks like an Eagle from the mid-2000s (minus the longer chin blade antenna) but internally it is a 70s-80s F-15.
