If you are going up against something like an AWACs or a heavy bomber launching several SARHs might not be such a bad idea. (Talking real life here). A big multi-engine aircraft might be able to survive one or maybe even two hits if its really lucky (they hit a non-critical part of the plane or something.)
umm stupid question but why not use a Shrike or a HARM ? :hmm:
Against a EW Bird? : :hmm: Is an ARM even A/A capable? :o
Ohh pardon my ignorance I didn't know it was A/A :oops:

No problem ;)

Ever see Flight of the Intruder?

Grafton: Are you crazy man that’s a MiG, we don’t even have a gun!
Cole: No but we got a Shrike and that will take care of the radar site that’s guiding the sucker.

I just couldn't help but think of that scene just now.

:ping: I remember once in Jane’s Fighters Anthology (USNF 97, Ukraine Campaign) I managed to shoot down a MiG 29 Fulcrum with an AGM-88. I saw the MiG pop up on the screen; I forgot what weapon I had selected and just fired when I saw it had locked. I just kinda stared in disbelief when I checked my HUD after killing the target and saw I had HARMs selected and not AMRAAMs. :lol:

Gotta love Jane's. :yep: I remember blowing up a SAM track, a tank 3 APC's and about 5 trucks with a MK82 in Jane's USAF Osirak mission! :arrgh!: :rock:

:lol: GM - You got very lucky with a MK82 - sure you had'nt sneeked on a couple of cluster bombs ?
USAF packed the CBU-89 and CBU-93 Anti-armor ! But then USAF , a fun sim but a bit arcadish !

Preferred Janes Longbow, but there other stuff, like ATC (Advanced Tactical Fighters) and USNF ' 97
were fun but gamey. F15 had some good points.

Now Falcon !! :|\

PS. FA18e Super Hornet was a good 'horse' from the same UK software stable as the old Tornado sim.
Squashed from the market by its less able, well promoted, and popular USA counterpart ! Thats life !

There'a also Jane's F/A-18 (also models the E/F, but it's a different one than the British game, even though both were released in the same period). Very good, nice graphics, and carrier landings.
