I got a B-6 Badger the other day.

Nailed a few P-3s.

I just wish you could place MANPADs on land when designing missions.

I voted patrol planes. Being 'invisable' with only the sail showing = a turkey shoot if you want with AI.

never shot nothing down bar one helo that was taking off a frigate when my SS-N-27 hit so does that count ?

Just helos here. That Badger must have been flying pretty dang low and slow.

A few p-3's and choppers. Still I think in the long run there on top for the kill:death ratio. :D

That Badger must have been flying pretty dang low and slow. He was at about 5000 feet at about 500 knots so it wasn't that easy of a target compaired to a helo or P-3.

Sorry that I was not responding but I'm making a home repair (patching, painting etc.) and had computer deinstalled for few days :-).

Shooting down missiles with MANPAD was not possible in stock DW because no missiles had assigned IR signatures, so MANPAD could not detect them and guide. In Luftwolff mod IR signatures are restored to most important missiles and there you can shoot down missiles - if you know where to shoot - 3 deg missile seeker cone mod is used too, so you have to aim carefully :-). Best way to check it is to order a launch of sub launched missile (TASM, SS-N-27) while on the surface and go to sail view to watch it launching. Then when it's in the air, if you are quick you can shoot it down with a MANPAD, you can shoot down your own missile :-).
This is of course possible only in Luftwolff's mod, not in stock DW, ut I hope the missing IR signatures will be corrected in 1.02.
