SU27 STRiKER is "F/A-18 Hornet 3.0" like you have never flown before.
You now fly for the IQAF in the skies above Desert Storm. You take the place of a "Soviet Mercenary," and the controls of the SU-27 Flanker-B. Low on missiles and allies, low on friends and ammunition you are the only ones that dare to challenge the "Thunder and Lightning" of the Allied air-strikes, accepting battle with an enemy known as the "F/A-18 Hornet."
6 new Training missions help you to get to grips with the Flanker-B. Take on two Vipers under strict rules of engagement (first pass is cold) to practice 1 vs. 2 ACM tactics, learn the advantages of the Flanker against the guns of the Hornet, and practice "missile avoidance techniques" as you go up against elite SAM sites, HARMs will lose lock...
The 28 Kuwait missions are altered to put you in the battle from the IQAF's point of view, the Hornets will be everywhere, so will the F-117s, the Buffs, and Hogs, and the Vipers... Allied SAM sites will "loom up" out of the haze, nowhere will be safe, your bases will be attacked when you least expect it.
The IQAF Migs will hardly show their faces and if they do, be wary of "friendly fire." Your Flanker does not turn as well as the Hornet, your mission targets will be further spread out, you will ambushed and "faked out" by diversionary attacks, the Hornets will never miss if they lock you up and you had better get within two miles of them before using heat seekers.
You are now the interceptor. These missions are primarily "Air-To-Air." You can still "haul some iron" which may come in handy to silence an Allied heavy caliber gun emplacement or an Allied SAM site. BVR missile shots will not work too well, most of the time, against the Hornets...you will have to get in close and "mix it up" with them.
The 6 Network missions have not changed. You still fly the Hornet as part of Red or Blue Force. We did not change the planes in these missions as it would have brought great confusion to the "Net-play" aspect. Contact us for more information.
Lastly, but not leastly, we thank Graphic Simulations Corporation for allowing us to release our mission sets. Without their hard work in their "F/A-18 Hornet" project we would not have had this excellent flight/combat simulator. A special thank-you goes out to GSCEric and GSCGabe for their support.
- Our thanks to the VFA-111 Black Knights
for helping us in our PC beta tests. The testing went much quicker than
anticipated due to the professional attitude of this fine squad.
Just some of the beta testers comments on the mission sets:
"The SU27 install is quite unique and fun to play... "
"You have a winner. Keep up the good work gentlemen!"
"Silent Pass is up and running and holy cow!!!!"
"I have also flown all the William Tell missions and have found no problems. Have used different settings just in case and still no problems."
"Three of us were flying sucessfully in [netkuwait 3.0] arena, It seem vast! "
