Yom Kippur first mission

[davido53]

I'm getting my ass kicked.

 

First time through I hit the runway and skedaddle but get nailed by an AA missile.

 

2nd time through I evade the missiles but the enemy a/c catches up with me and nails me with cannon.

 

Someone give me a hint!

hug the deck all the way in, and out..,, you think that's bad try WOV all I hear is sam launch,, sam launch,, sam launch.

Go low,very low!

In the first days of the YKW the Israeli suffred heavy losses,especially the Ahit Squadrons,at the point to search for help to the USA that lead to the Nickel Grass operation.

And for the MiGs,this's one of the resons for why the IAF Ahit carried very often at least one 'Winder or Shafrir 2.

And choose a light load out,compatible with the mission.

SFP-1 Burning Sands isn't too bad with AA ,, but the later years of WOV it's unbearable,, got a cure though, a B-52 with Harpoons and ARMs a big fat weasle
