Best Buddy Lasing

Post by oran42 »

Strike Tutorial 5. Flight A of two F/A-18C with Mavericks attacking last two mobile SAM units from north while Flight B of two F/A-18C with guided bombs flying in low from southeast on bombing run. Flight A launches last four Mavericks. Two hit, destroying northern SAM unit, but Flight A turns away and stops illuminating for two Mavericks still flying. Flight B will get shot down during their bombing run by southern SAM unit; it's too late to turn around.

Suddenly Flight B, not even on same mission as Flight A, starts illuminating the southern SAM unit! The remaining two Mavericks still flying aimlessly turn and destroy the southern SAM unit just before Flight B thunders overhead and bombs detonate all over the airport.

One of those moments you think the sole purpose of this marvellous achievement is to tease you, mock you and demoralize you like it was some kind of a crash test. It's been four years and a half and I am still not over that yet.
