1980s Theater

Roger.
About MiG-23 and flares. Some soruces suggests that some users applied dispenser on non MLD '23s but maybe these were only unique attampts or just test. The collapse of WP and the whole Eastern Block prvented any HW upgrade for more than a decade…
I mostly stick to realism, except this point because of mentioned issues. I tested without flares the campaigns but was not as good as with flares.
-
As you see the wished some recommendation - for ex. Block 15 + AIM-7 - also fictional so I cannot see any problem if I put dispensers on MiG-23ML or MF.
Sorry, absolutely NOT the way to go.
-
Go Ahead. Are we speaking only DB changes or you played also with cam file?
MolnyFalcon is the FF variant, this MOD still does not have a final name.
both stores data and .cam file.
old habits Molnyman;)
maybe you can call it Molnyfalcon BMS.:munch:
so here is B block 15, loaded with Aim-7s.

Great. One of partially unreal request is go, but other is no go…? I love this kind of logic…
-
Sorry, Molni, but my logic is really clear. I though I had stated it clearly above: Don´t add stuff that is not real! No exceptions, be AIM-7s be flares, be range of weapons, etc.

Small clip from the event this weekend.

Was fun fly? As I see the MiG defeated with flares an AIM-9M. Did you use data link during the flight?

i saw new feature for left MFD … cool!!!

Just note to “realism” and end user upgrades.
Some Czechoslovak people army Mig-21 (MF,MA had original possibility to carry it) were able to carry SM pod - Jammer SPS-141E + ASO-21-E7P launcher (chaffs and flares). Usually only one AC in 4-ship flight carried pod on centerline HP. Alert planes were almost allways equiped with its nattive 80ths weapon - R13M. Some of Czech Mig-21s were able to carry R-60 for selfdefence (CSSR AF had no BIS variant).During 90ths the R-60 missile was most usual beside Aim-9M on CZAF Mig-21MF. But it is another story…
I write it just because first line countries will allways adapt for possible threats. Serbs did mount their R-60s on trucks etc.
Czechs tested Aphids on L-39 trainers during cold war as well…It is not so big problem to put something on Mig-23.
Just for curiosity - this link shows chaff/flare additional adaptation for helis:

With such a solution you can put it on anything slow (but there is some optional aerodynamic stuff as well). Of course jet application need more clever approach…

Edit: i wrote Czech people army …of course it was Czechoslovak peoples army - oops -

My mistake i thought was butty DL target lock line…

Yes we did use datalink, is it supposed to be disabled?
It’s been quite fun, we have been playing at least 1 flight, up to 3, every weekend. You can see some aars here:

I think yes, in 1991 Link 16 was not available for most of or any jet as I know. Biggest problem that BMS4 code - as I know - make possible to set up a FDL connect with any AC regardless in RL other AC never had this link. For ex. you can create link between F-16C Blk. 52 and an F-4DSK or F-5E or F-15A/C. Until ODS only about two dozen F-15C got FDL terminals.
(Or not? I have never read any manul which meantion any restriction concerning on BMS4.)

Krause, did you finished the campaign?

What about flying with full release?

Campaigns with Block 15 ADF are available as well as pre HARM era, the 1982 campaign.

Hey bud just saw your bump. We’ll be flying this next week. I have been very busy recently because starting a business

NEW VIDEO!
World War 3 - HUD Optional
This is a proper British mission in Tornados. Flying through an amazing gauntlet of Russian air defenses to attack an mi-24 base! This campaign rocks - mainly due to the fact that everything is much deadlier (more Russian-er) than the stock theater.
-
Because in RL only Block 15 ADF variant could use which are US based units and never left US for any conflict. They never stationed outside from US as I know and even they do it was a uique event. (Similar to the case when some Su-15 (!) stationed in Egypt.)
It’s worth noting that during the time frame being discussed there were no real reasons for them to be stationed overseas nor any escalating events that would have necessitated a move.
You’re simulating a fictional war, there is no telling where those units would be assigned or what they would be doing if that occurred because a peace time eighties real life comparison to a war-time eighties simulated environment is not an apples to apples comparison.
