Super Hornet scores guns kill on Raptor

The RoK, cause we have such great weather around here all the time

SIG- Oddly enough, it was darn close to where I left it for every recovery.

Laxman- I feel your pain. Tried playing with a hard deck of 27K out at Fallon (undercast). The loaded Rhino (I'm sorry to say) had trouble CAPping w/ the slick C's at 30K+. Just not our optimum arena.

Yawn....all defensive BFM fights begin with the defender in the HUD. Especially the close-in fights. I would hardly brag about putting the pipper on at “fight’s on” (look at the altitude). That’s like bragging you got lucky in the Philippines. Now, when this guy sneaks up on the Raptor and then guns him, that’s when I’ll be impressed.

I always loved guys that sucked at BFM so they'd put you in a defensive 3k setup then brag about how good they were and show the HUD video to their wife. :beer:

I'll jump on this train wreck since I've had a few cold ones. I was a former FAC. I wasn't comfortable working anyone other than AV8s, USMC Hornets & A10s at the min safe range during CAS. Everyone else just doesn't do it enough to bet the farm on. I actually had some A10 bubba playing the Apolcolypse Now song on the harmonica from IP to pop on the radio, that was impressive. That said, I worked with them down in Vieques once and that was a disaster capped off by one of them landing gear up at RR and clobbering the runway. Thankfully I wasn't looking too long for the boat...dude.

Purpledog,

I take it you didn't do too much work with AC-130s?

Just once, on a static range and I think he was orbiting at about 9k. Pretty impressive. Although that was a completely different game. He was orbiting with eyes on for about 15 min before opening the can of whoop @ss. I was referring more to a medium to high threat area where you have IP-tgt runs. It's hard to compete with time on station or firepower of a Spectre.

Man he must have F'ed that away to bleed down to 179 knts going downhill right after calling "fight's on"(sarcasm) or else they've changed how they do things since I've been out.
