Literally every .mil aircraft operating above the coordination altitude in-country since at least 2001. It's how we do EVERYTHING.

Edit: And the only thing classified about it would be tying it to open source coordinates, ie giving someone the key to decypher it.

Edit2: It's actually BRAA, the last A being "aspect." Hot, drag, beam, track direction, etc.

Yes, but:

Air defenders often don't care and we drop it,* cause it matters a lot less to us than to pilots

Good luck having that much SA in DCS in an F-5E3 unless you have direct AWACS /GCI support informing it or are partnered up with an F-15C like you're a third-world airforce working alongside your USAF big brother. Until he throttles up and leaves your rear end to go play BVR games.

The context here is that this is being used in a Battlefield styled first person shooter action game with near instant respawns and death and is entirely silly for that small scale of a game especially since it seems to be in reference to an area of apparently 10sq miles or whatever War Crime Syndicate said

Ha, yeah. Investing more effort in DCS makes more sense where it can legit be a loving endeavor of half an hour or much longer just to get into the game, get your ordnance loadout set, and get to the fight. And where one clueless jerk can shoot you down on accident after all that time sink.

And to be fair if anybody's telling you about it, "hot" is assumed.

Ha, pretty much.

Or, in proper flyboy technique, they assume they have it, swear they have it, demand no ground person take the shot, then tell us to take the shot when it's flowing "cold" because it's now behind us and hot on all the stuff behind the air defenders.....

I'm still working my way through AC Odyssey. Man this game is so ridiculously pretty. I'm 40 hours in and still new poo poo impresses me and I've only uncovered maybe a half of the map at most. Probably somewhere between a third and a half of the map so far.

More games need to copy Witcher 3. Odyssey does it and pulls it off really well.

Game says I've solved six and I've seen a third to a half of the crew. Some of the scenes turn my assumptions on their head. The game is just linear enough to keep me moving forward.

you find out more information as you continue through the story. you can then go back and update fates.

i really love the way the game shows you a scene then works backwards allowing you to piece it together.

my favourite so far is the kraken ripping and tearing, then it turns out the first appearance was when it choked out the artist at the front of the ship

New Vegas had a bug that would only happen on some machines where it would render your save completely hosed.

There were some patches and poo poo that could help fix that but it was never great.

I think it was a combination of patches and having to start a new game and play through the whole intro again so it could re setup some bullshit that it deleted / corrupted, then you could go back to your save game.

It happened to my wife once in a blue moon, mine was like every second save game it happened to so I haven't played New Vegas to any great degree.

Not that I'm advocating abandoning ED-E, but Rex takes up the same "nonhuman" companion slot. I also have reliable sources telling me that Rex is a good boy.

The problem was you couldn't make ED-E leave the team. So you were stuck with an unusable companion slot.

There was a vault elevator that would force them to teleport to you. Later they added a companion dismissal terminal to the penthouse and a couple of DLC locations.
