Zayets Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Right. Out of curiosity I hooked 4xADM-141 on the cat just to see how SAM's reacts after I dropped them. And it was a pretty sight I must say. However, I noticed that these are super high drag stuff. Max speed attained was 370-400kts level flight at 20k with a high nose down tendency. Took me full burner from the runway to lift the kite into the air. Not to mention full flaps. Can anyone confirm this? [sIGPIC]OK[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldur Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Just took them as well and wasn't able to pass ~380 KIAS without burners. Almost as slow as an Air Force wheelchair... doesn't look right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceFire Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Yeah that's an ED thing, they control those #'s as far as I'm aware.

Zayets Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 So, the question is : Is this a bug or a feature? [sIGPIC]OK[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldur Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 BTW toy'd around with them once again and they're pretty awesome. The flight performance of my F-14 didn't get better though with them fired off. So it's definately the racks. Too bad we can't jett them off. That switch for doing so is inert (as it hasn't been used IRL). Maybe HB should do their own racks, just like the M61... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
