Top Gun Campaigns
Dave replied to JSF_Aggie's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
Very very nice. -
Well those ships weren't Aegis class DDGs either. No SPS - 141 is going to shut down one of those.

That's funny you mention that Raven as I had a hard time finding good magazines. I finally found some after my dad had some extra ones that were nice. This Ruger hasnt jammed yet. Its extremely well made. The same thing with my dad's SR1911 Commander edition. Hundreds and hundreds of rounds, no jamming. Now his Ruger .22's though, bad jamming. Ruger just sent him some new magazines at no cost to see if the they were the problem.

You guys make it hard on me sometimes. I have friends from both ends of the political spectrum, but guess what? I do not rate my friends by the politics they keep. I could care less actually. So can we please keep it civil.

Gepard, the jammers on the Su-24 are not going to keep it from getting blown out of the sky. The Aegis system is almost impossible to jam. Its multi-mode system specifically hops and re targets based on the type of jamming and intensity of the jamming. I'm surprised the Russians even had an SU-24 in flying condition. Oh and finally everyone debate the topic please not each other.
