And when you do get away from the airbase:

Try #1: get all the way to target, then shot down by Hind.
Try #2: forget engine anti-ice en-route. Subsequent engine-failure makes for a rough emergency landing, leaving you with all rotorblades halved.
Try #3: doorbell rings while en-route: Pizza!. Find yourself splattered across a mountain on return.
Try #4: get there, deal with the targets and go inbound to check and pop some rockets. Turns out there's this tit with a MANPADS behind a tree; trees don't have collision: they block your view, but AI can spot and shoot through them no problem. No missile warning either of course, since the Shark only has RWR. Subsequent explosion causes engine failure and sees you "land" right between 2 vehicles, who promptly riddle you with bullets... at least the ejection seat was still operational.

This sim is so harsh. Absolutely awesome, but harsh.

Lionclaw and me en-route.
