If you want to take out a base in one go - thats your plane!!

i should of followed you in, watched you release all bombs etc i failed you as a wingman i think because not alot of damage was being done. Was the right set up on your SU33, but between take off and attacking target something wasn't quite right but i dont know what sorry mate.

Wanted you to destroy targets to get your score up etc while at the same time making the game quite quick. Next time we'll sort it.

dont sweat it any advice is good advice.
I think it was because i was level bombing not diving and then when i dived i dived too steep

[FOZ_1983]

Ah right, yup that will be it

level bombing seems a bit strage in the SU33 (only plane ive really bombed in) because the bombs wont go where the target reticule is. Must be a knack to it but i dont speak russian so have no idea what my computer lady is saying haha.

Best bet is come in from height and dive down (not a vertical dive) but close to a vertical dive and then from a good height release all your bombs, the second they are relased then level out and head for home. If you get a lock on then turn away from it and just head for home at great speed. The speed you generate from the dive will be good enough to get you away from the missile.

Wait, why are you two using the Su-33; which is the Russian version of the American F-14 too bomb? (Not really, but both are made with the same idea of protect carriers. The Su-33 is just a Su-27 that is carrier capable. )

Because in over-g (you played it?) each plane has its countries weapons, and where the F14 can carry four 2000kg bombs the SU33 can carry a hell of alot more!! the SU33 is a superb bombing platform, it carries a huge amount of bombs. The SU27 on the other hand - garbage. It seems better for air to air than air to ground and cant carry half as much as the SU33.

This is all in over-g btw.

The superior planes for bombing ground targets i found were -

SU33
F15E (think it was the E, theirs about 4 models in over-g)

i still prefer the Saabs because of there sheer agility, sure they cant carry a big payload but by god they can fly.

Hmm, interesting? No I've not played Over-G, but maybe I should start too. Both of the Su-27/33 should be superb air-to-air jets, but the Su-33 shouldn't be very air-to-ground friendly. I mean, not that it's not capable of carrying bombs, but it's should be modeled to be more air-to-air like the Su-27. If they want a good ex-Soviet air-to-ground jet, they should have gotten a Su-25 or something. Most Su's are air-to-air jets. Like the MiGs. But most MiGs now, besides the 29/35, are high altitude interceptors ie MiG-25/31 etc.

Russia has kinda taken the stance of heavy bombing and 'dogfighting' rather ground attack like the American A-10 or something along those lines. Though I do think, that there are still a couple of Su-25s still being used by the Russians?
