Here's a hint for all the fighter jockeys out there.

Never do some senseless posing for photos...


...while your wingman is just about to get toasted.


A little background concerning the screenies:
I was on a strike mission with my flight of four A-4Es when we got engaged by two MiG-21MFs. They shot all their rockets at us before they started a dogfight within cannon range. I sent the rest of my flight after one of the MiGs while I tried to get his buddy. Well, the other guy climbed and climbed, apparently not caring 'bout the fact that three A-4s tried to get his rear. His steep climb saved him from being shot down. Meanwhile, I struggeled to get behind the other MiG, and suddenly he just started to fly a  relatively straight heading, with the usual zigs and zags. I just flew straight on and thus I got within cannon range. Pulled the trigger for a short salvo and "bang" the MiG lit up in flames.
Chalked one up for me, let his buddy continue his strange manoeuvers and headed home unharmed.

If only all missions went as smooth as this one.

Hell, I really fell in love with the A-4.
Good in the early stages of the campaign, since she's very manoeuverable. Later, with the "E" model, she's able to carry Sidewinders. Perfect for a bit of self-defense.

Plus, I prefer dropping CBUs on a column of tanks to flying air-to-air missions all the time.

love that game, though I'm more a fighter/interceptor jokey... F-104, F-14, Lightning, Mig 25 etc  8)

just curious is it WOV or SFP-1?

SFP1. WoV is a waste of money IMO.
