no, no challange shooting a missle at someone 100 miles away. A up close gun fight is where the real action is.

No, Not at all Air to Air missiles, Air to Ground, etc etc. Its pointless Some missiles can hit someone from 20 miles i think. Pointless I think.

Its fun for single player campaigns and such, but not for an PvP game.

I had a Nintendo game years ago. Forget the name but it was modern jet fighter game with various missions. You had all kinds of missiles to fire. Got boring real quick since you nearly always hit the target, often without it being even close to you.

I don't like modern anything. But I suppose the same thing may have been said back in the 30's and 40's by the fans of WW1 hardware.

     The more I read these posts, the more I come to believe the vast majority
of folks get their missile data from Hollywood or the History channel.  There is a
reason they called the Sparrow the Great White Hope in Vietnam ya know  :lol

What about the modern computers that allow you to play games like Aces High?
