*** Posted by run *** Hi Justin 1. TWR changes with altitude. The TWR that is most commonly listed it at Sea Level. 2. Wether an aircraft is a good dogfighter doesn't only depend on its TWR. There are a lot of other things you have to take into consideration. Regards John Raahauge (RUN) [but i thought the 16 had a better TWR then the 18, so ...

*** Posted by Justin *** but i thought the 16 had a better TWR then the 18, so why would it be better at alt? PS. im on firefly's now so i should be with front line fighters in a few years. Cant wait!

*** Posted by Quentin *** Can I use 1 of your pictures on my webpage? You have a really brilliant pic of a F16 flying over the sea and I would greatly appreciate it if you let me use it on the webpage I'm making. I'm still at school and the page is purely for personal pleasure.

*** Posted by run *** Hi The Flanker will outperform the Fulcrum. Especially at higher altitudes. The Flanker also has better avionics and is more fuel efficient. You also have to consider the ordnance they carry. Regards John Raahauge (RUN) [what would u say the hardest soviet fight would b? mig-29? su-27? you said in other post the su-27 ...

*** Posted by run *** Hi Without going into too much detail: The F-16 is superior to most others at low altitude. As soon as you go high the 2 engine aircraft like F18, F15, Fulcrum, Flanker will have an advantage. Run [hello, i was looking at both these aircraft on a tape amd it looks like the 18 has a much better instentanius turn rate. But ...

*** Posted by run *** I will answer your questions in order: 1. You would use the bore mode if you don't have a radar lock on the target, but you can see the target and it is fairly easy for you to just point and shoot the target. 2.You still have to uncage under normal operation, but there is an auto feature that will uncage by itself if you ...

*** Posted by Justin *** what would u say the hardest soviet fight would b? mig-29? su-27? you said in other post the su-27 is basicaly the better plane in a dogfight. So is it better then 29 in dogfight then?

*** Posted by Justin *** hello, i was looking at both these aircraft on a tape amd it looks like the 18 has a much better instentanius turn rate. But i always thought that the 16 would out perform a 18 in a dogfight. Could one of u pilots tell me if the 16 has the uper hand in a fight or not?

*** Posted by Branislav *** Dear Sir, First thank You for all Your answers to me. I known that AIM-9/AIM-120 have two main modes of operation: BORE and SLAV and that the SLAV mode is default one. The questions are the following: 1. When doe's the pilot of F-16 use the BORE mode of AIM-9/AIM-120? 2. In SLAV mode when the lock-on is obtained ...

*** Posted by run *** Hi I would love to answer your questions, but we are getting into a gray area where it is hard to define what is and what is not classified, so I can't confirm or deny your postings. Funny enough you can find a lot of stuff on the net that would be classified if it came from me, but not if it comes from Janes or a game. It ...
