OllyFox80 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi guys, I'm new to this game and wondering if this was a first kill? - [ame] [/ame] I ask as there where other planes around and my missile trails don't go all the way And if it was - anyone know what plane that was? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiddx Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yep looks like you got him good. :thumbup: Missile trails are not supposed to go all the way to the target, as their motor only burns for the first part of the flight. The rest of the way they fly with the gained inertia (motor off, so no smoke trails). Your victim looked like an Su-25 or maybe A-10 to me (rather straight wings), but it's kinda hard to tell on my monitor. In the future when you are in doubt simply press the Tab key to open the chat window. You should see a kill message there, something like [Player1] with [Aircraft1] killed [Player2] in [Aircraft2]. Hope that helps.

hvymtal Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Straight wings, looked a bit narrow so i'd say Su-25 (Su-25 has single tail, slight leading edge sweep and camo, A-10 has twin tail and grey). A-10 or Su-25 can both take ungodly amounts of damage hence the two missiles. Attackers are generally easy meat if you catch them off guard or at low energy. Ill send you my copy of Art of the Kill, if you plan on taking on more serious opponents in the future you really should give it a read My Logitech Extreme3D Pro "Essentials" Profiles for FC3 and 25T: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/599930/ Thrustmaster T.16000M, TWCS FC3, F-5E, M2000C, AJS-37, C-101, F-14, NTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceandar Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Seeing this kind of post make me wondering is it actually hard to make a kill in 21 in MP ? I don't have the module yet.

Only the dead have seen the end of war - Plato killing is the easy part. the hard part is finding a guy without him finding you first. if you have a decent guy on gci/awacs and favorable geography it can be fairly straightforward to bang out kills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
