USI MOD is cool, but...

[TheMshine]

I was in game last night, and noticed the server only had the
two ground attack aircraft for each side active? I could have
sworn there was a fighter included on each side too?

The A-10 is an awesome aircraft, BUT it is useless without support,
and does not have a chance against the opposing teams ground attack
aircraft.

I don't believe we send out A-10's into the field without fighter support,
or into a theater were other aircraft are present. I want to fly it in USI
but without support, you are a sitting duck!

Am I correct, or am I just not flying the A-10 correctly? I would like
to refer to the opposing teams ground attack aircraft, but I have no
idea what it is.. it's just seems to reign supreme in against the A-10
and the A-10 seems useless as long as any other AC are in the air.

Any suiggestions on how to effectively put the A-10 into action?

This is innacurrate.

Theres no maps with just bombers.

edit: my bad apparently the smaller versions do not have fighters

Its a true combined force battle and its suprisingly balanced in its first release.

You are claiming the SU takes out the a10 consistently? Not a chance.

The a10 smokes the su in a good burst of canon. Go find an empty server to test fly or watch some experienced pilots go 52-1 with the a10 you will change your mind.

Theres fighters on every map with bombers.

There is NO teamwork in USI. Period.

Re: USI MOD is cool, but...

All flying maps have the fighter support. Are you sure you wernt playing the 32 person maps? cause the 32 person maps only have the ground attack planes. The 64 verson have the fighters. The iraqs have the mig, and the us has the F-16. Just look for a bigger player map and they are there.

What the hell are you talking about?

Re: USI MOD is cool, but...

Well FMJ in your haste to flame me for asking a question, you
just may be inaccurate.

I played on this server for about an hour. It was Hog Smoke I think,
and there were only two aircraft in the air, the A-10 and the Iraqi
bomber. THAT'S IT!

Now as one of the other guys noted, maybe this was a 32 player
map? The server had the prefix "FOF" I think Frag O Fest or something.
and sure the A-10 cannon may be king, if you can manage get on the six
of the SU, but I flew the A-10 about 4 times this round, and never
managed to do this. Unless you have some complete idiot behind the
stick in the SU, he should have no problem maintaining air superiority.

Now note that I have experience in flight sims, and know my way around
the air and tactics. Before coming into BF2's arcade style flight engine
I played the IL2 series exclusively. While it is not jets, the basic air
tactics are there.

I am NOT saying ANYTHING is modeled wrong or improperly, I just was
noting it odd to run a MAP with A-10's and no fighter support. Show me
an instance of an A-10 in a dogfight, and I will eat my shorts. It's just
doesn't happen. I'm just hoping the A-10 in Armoured Fury is a little more
tough, and can take a bit more damage before tunring into a fireball.

LOL:laugh:

There is just as much teamwork in USI as there is in any other
server.

It's just a matter of luck that you get online with a good group of players.

Sometimes it's all good, and sometimes it's pure Sh!+

Meh I edited my post.

Play the mod with people before you pass judgement. You will like it.

If there is no fighters thats my bad as I wasnt aware , but I havent played anything but the 64 size. Join a full game where everyone is occupied and the bomber has more targets and more help

Actually, the A-10 is credited with two air to air kills, both Iraqi helicopters in the first Gulf War .

There is a lot more teamwork then in Vanilla. Its the servers you play on. I was playing some Battle 73 Easting. Awesome map. Had a squad full of tankers and we were owning.

Re: USI MOD is cool, but...

So if you have a fighter jet on each team how is that different? Their jet will go after you.. and believe me it's a lot easier to dogfight in the MiG/F16 than the ground attack jets. Su vs A10 is pretty balanced, just mostly depends on pilot skill (unlike lock on AA missiles...)

the no teamwork comment origined from the fact that you can become a one man killing machine. in heli, you don't need gunner, in tank, you don't need other tank supporting you due to the range, etc.

What.. thats not true. Tanks do need support because the helis will freaking own these guys from far distances. The helis need a gunner for the ground AA guys, and need other people in the air to support them form planes and the planes need support from ground troops to keep other planes off their tail and out of the air... Its a never ending cycle of team work. This mod is great.
