Been a little while since I've flown the Eagle, so I thought it may be a good idea to get up in the air and make sure I keep the HOTAS muscle memory fresh.
This mission was a quick intercept mission. Flight of two F-15C's vs TU-22 bombers and some MiG-23 flogger escorts.
The F-15Cs powerful AN/APG-63 radar picked up the two MiG-23 floggers right away. 16k feet high, about 19nmi away. There was no waiting for the action in this battle. The bombers were also picked up but they were jamming my radar.
My A.I wingman and I ascended to get to a good altitude to fire our missiles.
I kicked it up to full afterburner and fired my first missile at the Floggers. You can see the AMRAAMs exhaust over my right wing.
One of the enemy MiG-23 Floggers.
The second Flogger.
Before I could blink the first Flogger took a direct hit from two missiles, it was completely annihilated.
That didn't mean I was safe though. I had two incoming missiles and had to dive down the deck. During that dive I managed to get my wingman to attack the bombers while I was busy evading. You can still see the debris from the Floggers on the bottom left.
My wingman got the bombers and from afar, I could see the damage he was inflicting upon them.
Not a good day for Tu-22 bombers. I did see parachutes so they did at least get their bodies to the ground.
More Tu-22 wreckage free falling to the ground. Although I was safe at the moment, you never know, so always kick out a few flares here and there to make sure.
Very fun quick battle. I am looking forward to flying the Eagle in the new NTTR map.
