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?
Ohh pardon my ignorance I didn't know it was A/A

I\'m having trouble with the radar, sir.
What\'s wrong with it?
I\'ve lost the bleeps, I\'ve lost the sweeps, and I\'ve lost the creeps.

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.

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.

Gotta love Jane's. 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!

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.
