Re: Tuesday 18th August 2020
Scooby, you do right to question my humanity - I actually didn't think he was worth a GBU-12 all to himself, when they are in such short supply.
And I hoped he might attract some of his mates and thus make it worth my while to press the pickle button. So I counted the 8 GBU-12s out and I counted them back home (to mis-quote a well-known BBC reporter).
And on the subject of weapons - why were there no AIM-9s on our ac?

I have fired them occasionally, but never hit anything, other than practice against another A-10 (an AI one obviously!). Unfortunately, with AI opponents they never seem to frighten them off.

Only fired them three times in anger.
Two kills though, Mig29(the little sod thought he would out smart a Hog in the hills. How wrong he was) and Helo. Both red air as well!!!!

There should have been 2 x SW on every hog, we'll check the .miz...
Also there should have been a considerable force of enemy in the village of Muzeira, as per the frag!! Where did they go? Sorry about that, we will investigate as there is a request in for a rerun next week. If enough are willing, we can do that?

Sounds like a plan Ade. Just bear in mind that every have updated, so the server will need to be run locally. As a special request, can the SEAD flight from 825NAS have something to shoot at, and can we operate from a carrier - being the only reason we formed, it is a bit of a priority. Thanks.

Ade, I don't know what was happening with the load outs but non of us were able to choose AGM-65D so we had to run without them. After starting up I had to reboot and then was not able to load mav or gbu12. Was only able to load mk82 which would have been just dandy from 20000.
The mk82 may have been a local issue, I don't know, but the mav must have been a general one as we all had it.
