What about Thousand Island?

You have to make sure you're dressing correctly...







I'll get my coat.

Moving into the Cold War-era with this one. Someone claimed that the MiG-17 could easily defeat the F-14 in a dogfight because he did it in War Thunder.

Why am I not surprised?

Many years ago, on a CFS3 Multiplayer server, an idiot loaded a MiG-15 into an open Europe 1945 map.

I shot him down with my Me262A-1a and he screamed that I was "hack cheating" and I explained that first of all, the Soviets didn't have a MiG-15 during WWII, and it didn't help that he didn't know how to fly the thing.

His response was that he was pretty sure that the MiG-15 was in WWII, he had read it on the internet...

He forgot that Abraham Lincoln, or was it George Washington, texted that you cannot believe everything that you read on the internet

I thought it was George IV who texted that

I've downed an F-35 with SPAD (the ww1 biplane) in Men of War: Assault Squad 2 editor!

Downed another F-22 with Hotchkiss HMG!

Btw, if he can fly with the MiG-17, we can test it in real!

I know lots of Tomcat ex pilots.

 

[ARTESH]

Yeah. I love his blog.

The original one? Or the new one?

I prefer the classic. Too much AI in the new one.

 

[Snautzer01]

Yeah. I love his blog.

Love his qoutes: If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear black coffee and a doughnut in the morning.

Classic.

You can watch this guy's video and either laugh or cringe. Also, the Iran-Iraq war is a rather fascinating topic considering the F-14's success. It's from the same War Thunder Youtuber I mentioned who claimed that he could embarrass a Tomcat with a MiG-17

I will not look at his site as that just encourages him and his ilk

I don't blame you, friend his video sadly got recommended to me after watching a few Dave "Bio" Baranek Ward Carroll videos on how to better utilize the Tomcat in DCS.
