For those fatalistically wondering what it's like to actually get shot at by SAMs, here you go (forward to ~3 minutes in if you want to skip the preflight stuff): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUjX1RntqVw

Also a look at the mission this happened in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8InuaTRKnY&t=180s

The part where the guys yells "Stroke 3 break right!" gets me every time (this used to be the menu audio in one of the Falcon4 mods). It's "pucker factor" personified.

CMDR Pthighs is probably saying something cool like "smoke em if ya got em, boys" in this shot.





Pthighs' wing is soaring in. Here goes nothing...

Success! Looks like two Shilka kills, wiping out the southern platoon, and multiple 57mm AA guns knocked out. All ordinance expended, the Pthighs gang heads home.

As far as I can tell, there was no return fire whatsoever. Our guys are gonna have a field day here.

Nice! Drinks'r on me boys*, smoke 'em if you got 'em! :clint:

*I've got a bottle of peach schnapps hidden in my stateroom.

Narrator: CMDR Pthighs would be forcibly discharged from the Navy after the events of the 35th Tailhook Association Symposium 9 months later.

Thanks for writing this up. I've been mucking around with this myself. I'm not really past the point of using it to smash action figures together in the knowledge that they're very detailed and accurate action figures. Is there a general thread for it in the games forum?

CMO and its ilk are usually covered in the Grognard Games thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3887173. Stop on by!
