The funny thing is that film was great entertainment for 7 year old me (at the time). It still is, if you take it as a comedy and not so seriously. Because if you start to take it seriously, you realize that the CP/G (who they called ā€œBreakerā€ for some reason or another) was doing all the actual killing because, wellā€¦ Thatā€™s what the CP/G does in the Apache. Because it kinda sucks to have to fly, use the sensors, and employ the weapons all at once from the back seat. Which, by the way, you canā€™t do in the A model anyways.

Thanks for the link!
Itā€™s like meeting Santa at the mall for the first time. Always knew little Timmy was just being mean when he said he didnā€™t exist :grinning:

I love that the SA-2 is now working correctly. This is such a fun weapon. Long range and canā€™t be ignored at medium-high altitude, but easily defeated by a terminal maneuver alone.It puts you under pressure but doesnā€™t simply deny airspace. Ideal combination for gameplay.

Flight of the Intruder and Hot Shots are the most accurate Naval Aviation movies ever made.

Depends on whoā€™s askingā€¦ If this is about the bugs then I donā€™t know the guy! :blush:

While I know the CVNā€™s and LHAā€™s vary structurally from ship to ship, I hope ED and Razbam will give us a few different skins for each in the future as well, even if it isnā€™t strictly accurate for the respective ships.

I agree, especially considering that even individual ships change appearance over the years. So a USS Nimitz with letā€™s say some incorrect radar dish wonā€™t be any worse than using the present Tarawa (without itā€™s 5 inch guns) in an early 1990s mission.
