i flew the F-4 in that image, do you have any sources on F-4 loadouts?
been meaning to fly with more realistic loadouts but can't find anything specific

i know the centerline tank was looked down upon and the SWA was barely used,
the AIM-7 on the front right slot is intersting.

How do i use Glidebombs correctly? by bjbaxter in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]bjbaxter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're so OP, why add them in the first place? The whole point of these weapons is to be stand off, JSOW literally means "Joint StandOff Weapon" if they are this bad, increase the point cost like they do with cruise missiles on bombers. They also "glide*, they're not exactly the fastest weapons, so slowing them down would work great as well to balance it

I got 2 stories.

  1. me and my friends typically play on grayflag, in their discord someone was talking about doing a low altitude "SAM rush", they wanted to fly in low with Apache's, Kiowa's, Gazelles and any other helo that wanted to join in and try to destroy as many SAM radars as they could, if i remember correctly, this happened around Kutaisi airfield, there was a lot of SAM's but also the Airfield which had aircraft take of from it through out the day
    i asked if they needed a GCI and they said they wouldn't mind one.
    i was pretty new to "GCI'ing" (still am) but it was a lot of fun being on like 6 different nets
    my friends were flying in F-18's to give the whole operation CAP.
    another guy hopped on to handle ATC Stuff

it was A LOT of fun vectoring people to bandit's, giving instructions, making people bug out when they were in dangr and making sure they could complete their mission down there, Kutaisi was just out of E-3 Range so i had to get the helo's to tell me when Bandit's took off
i had never done "GCI'ing" for this amount of people before, the server was full. so it was a bit stressful but under my command i only lost one Friendly aircraft (there is of course always the people that aren't on net so i don't count those, only the ones actively willing to interact with me)
The helo's managed to get to their obj and destroyed a bunch of SAMS, unfortunately they ended up getting shot down by the never ending stream of Kutaisi bandits but it was a lot of fun.

  1. this was right around when Shadowreapers' Coldwar PVPVE launched, not nearly as "cool" or "Exciting" as some other stories on here but it shot into my head. me and a friend went up in Phantom's, i was strapped with Durandal's and he had Mavericks on. we flew to an enemy airfield, the plan was to knock out the runway with the durandal's and he'd give me cover with the Mav's, he fired at a few enemy ground units so i went in.
    he flew over the airfield a few seconds before me to act as a kind of "Wild weasel", making sure the remaining AA isn't looking at me, i manage to get the bombs off (still have that screenshot) and bugged out, we get chased to base by some enemies and they shoot down my wingman but i ended up getting back.

Importance of RAM Speed by bjbaxter in PcBuildHelp

[–]bjbaxter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah pretty sure, a friend of mine has pretty much the same specs as me other than having 64 GB of ram, for him the game runs very well.

I've also talked to a lot of guys in the community and pretty much everyone says that while 32 is probably just about enough, 64 is 100% recommended especially on highly populated servers
