So thats proof that friendlies get fucked over too.Bernadictus wrote:
A person I once SCUBA dived with works for the Dutch Military and opperates a Patriot battery. Those things are pretty destructive and once locked you can't escape. Nice thing to mention ; the Patriot radar also locked onto cars on the nearby highway Talk about a traffic jam reducer
In real life, the newer AA systems (like the patriot systems we have in the netherlands based on GGW de peel), they dont even have to hit the plane, the rocket can come close to the plane (150mtrs) and explodes which will damage the plane (deadly).a fly wrote:
so in real life is there no way to evade a missile from hitting you? like outrunning it or making a very sharp turn?

Flares? Don't you have any of those?
I understood that a missile's main motor only burns for a pretty short time and so if you get one coming at you from a good distance off you can keep making course adjustments in order to make the missile have to fly further (as it's aiming for where you will be, not where you are) and, if you're lucky, further than it's capable of reaching.a fly wrote:

Yeah, but you have more flight hours and a better ratio.HansMeiser wrote:
never flown a plane in rl, but i would still own you in bf2
:p ^^
i don't have a problem with any of this post, except where you said that if you make a slight mistake bf2 doesn't punish you. rofl, are you kidding? i'd like to know from a real pilot that crashing into a water doesn't blow your ass up, or skimming the top of a palm tree. thats how BADLY bf2 punishes you. Oh, I forgot, the nice little punish system punishes you for slight mistakes when it comes to accidental TKs.Mekstizzle wrote:
Well, i used to play Combat flight simulator and FS2004 alot, not anymore. Don't even have a joystick now, i'm still interested in planes and whatnot though, moreso cars but still. I'm thinking of going into Aviation after i leave university but who knows, anything can happen.
The flying in BF2 is fun, it has a good feel and doesn't punish you so bad if you make slight mistakes. I'll probably get a joystick but for BF2 it really isn't needed.
How did you end up in the airforce flying F16's anyway? Just curious,
A patriot has a reach of 80km, with 6 times the speed of sound.duffry wrote:

Is this all BS?
It all depends on the duration of the G's. The human body can have 50G's (for 1 or 2 secs)Sullemunk wrote:

I am myself a F16C pilot at Volkel Netherlands airbase 302Sqn cpt. Richard.
Flew for 1200 flight hours in my F16C.
I know BF2 isnt any realistic about flying, but i like it.
Please share your aviation background.
Never flew that, always wanted to. I trained in 172 SP's and Piper Seneca'sSkruples wrote:
I'm a student pilot at the moment. I fly Katana DA-20s.

Interesting that the 302nd squadron doesnt seem to exist. Either a typo and you ment the 312th or you're bullshitting us.
