Those guys are friggin' morons sometimes. I was already feet wet heading back to the boat after a successful strike in a Rolling Thunder campaign. I told my wing to rejoin after we got off the target. I turn to look over his direction and he's screaming in at me - doing one of those high-speed arcing turns we know so well. I figured, they always miss, though it looks a little scary at times - so, I got a little complacent. Well, this idiot wasn't going to miss and I realized it too late. He came whipping across into me, killing me and my BN, and tearing his own A-6 to bits. Dumb s**t. Now SOP for me is to tell those a-holes to RTB as soon as I'm clear of the target.

Tried the demo. Very disappointing. If you like Ace Combat 6, that's pretty much what you're getting with HAWX (with a few extra planes). I'm NOT getting HAWX - don't care how many Tomcats are in it. It's the same cheesy physics and 1000-missile loadouts.

Ehhh, the boots, not so much. But, the stockings are definitely approved.

Could be. Last time I played AoE was ages ago, hence the "I think." I'm sure it was in some old game, though - that's how I recognized it. AoE seems the most likely candidate. "Over the Threshold"

Not sure I'll be around for that one.

Wow. Last time I saw one of those (I think) was Aces Over Europe by Dynamix.

Perhaps they were recovering aircraft at the same time - in which case the waist cats would be unusable "Now, I'm not gonna sit here and blow sunshine up your ass, Lieutenant."

Hard deck - my ass. We nailed that son of a bitch.

True - 'cause I ain't got it. The person below me has worn a real set of wings. (Plastic ones from Delta or something don't count, sorry - I don't care if it was your birthday.)

The Defense Department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid.

Lawyers are pretty good noise-makers. Maybe we can use them as decoys for acoustic-homing torpedoes?

Are they supposed to be smokeless? (I don't know.)

You forgot my 'Sader. BTW, hi-viz US Navy paintjobs FTW! Second, (Or, Third) the motion on the brig.

Yeah, I haven't needed the disc to run my WOV in ages - just to reinstall it, from time to time.

"I think you're gonna need a bigger boat," for the Tomcats. But, I'd be willing to swipe a Crusader and give it a go.

Glad things are going well for you. Hope it continues that way.

Thank God, C5! I felt so unclean looking at that F-111B.

So Long, Hoover.

Indeed. Navy still says CAG (Commander Air Group), when the term Carrier Air Group has been gone a while (now called Carrier Air Wings - CVWs). And the FRS (Fleet Replacement Squadron - where you learn on your fleet aircraft) is still most commonly referred to as "the RAG" (again the old-school terminology, Replacement Air Group).

V = Fixed Wing. AQ = Electronic Attack. Navy stuff. Electronic Attack Squadron 140. Used to be Prowlers (EA-6B).

The island.

Helos are just slow targets.

What if she trips and falls - landing on her front side? Ouch.

Now we gotta get one painted like the 'Mystery Machine.'

Noise complaints?! I'll give you something to complain about!
