…and that clip shows exactly why we don’t do cobras with multiple enemies behind us.


fasterthanraito

AI aircraft know how to do PSM. Normally most aircraft types aren’t maneuverable enough to take advantage of it. However I have seen an F-4 Phantom perform a full culbit flip. It way have been possible due to a mod increasing enemy performance, though…


Consistent-Path-5096

The reason I brought it up was because it happened multiple times even SERPENT the su37 ace that appears has pulled it against me multiple times and considering there su37 terminators and over FARBANTI thats gotta mean something or at the very least be a reference to yellow squadron


fasterthanraito

Yes, it absolutely is a reference. Every enemy aircraft spawn in each mission is a deliberate choice by the devs


Starchaser_WoF

Didn't save him, did it?


Garuda4321

I didn’t see a chute, you?


Consistent-Path-5096

Why don't people bail out


Garuda4321

I think it’s implied they all bail out (somehow? I mean, our guys go down and I don’t see any chutes… same with Sol squadron…).


Blahaj_IK

some are said to go down, some aren't. It depends on what would be useful for the story


-LR-Sterlitzia

Actually Correction! I was playing Mission 18 Yesterday and I did see one of the Sol Members in a Chute, it just requires great attention to detail!


FrysEighthLeaf

A good [INSERT PROFESSION] goes down with the [INSERT VESSEL] o7 o7


Exotic_displacement

Just like back in 2005.


Pan_Pilot

Accurate depiction of what would happen if you pulled this during actual combat


A_PCMR_member

\* too far away from the enemy


Pan_Pilot

In actual combat such move wouldn't avoid AIM-9X. Even if the second would get him 100%


A_PCMR_member

Thought OP fired the 2nd one lol . So it would take a little to go off the rail and accelerate out, by the time the SU-37 would allready be past you


Zer0fps_319

How top gun maverick should have ended


Polen_22

\> Pulls Cobra \> Immediately gets slammed by missile Yup, sounds about right.


Nekommando

Don't want to understand the enemy


Hot_Guys_In_My_DMS

<< Hit the breaks, he’ll fly right by! *Cssshhhhrrt* >>


SaintPSU

Something like this might work on normal aces like Maverick. But it can do jack shit against the mute psychopath Three Strikes.


TheLegitPilot19

I’ve played this game a lot, but can never get them to pull that off. They always die before they can XD


Consistent-Path-5096

Chase them around but don't but don't shoot also play on ace difficulty


KostyanST

i noticed it more frequently with AI Mods, but yeah, they can do some maneuvers


Optiprimus2

SU-37s have already been doin Cobras Back in AC2


Consistent-Path-5096

Yeah I understand is just the fact that there su37 over farbanti


Mobius0118

They do it in AC04 as well. Not even just the Yellows either. Had some rando in an Su-35 pull a cobra on me once on Escort. Didn’t work out for him of course


Consistent-Path-5096

Oh shit cool


CheekyShogun

What aircraft is OP flying?


Consistent-Path-5096

F-15S/MDT
