U.S. Navy Guided Bomb - Bat.
« on: November 08, 2010, 01:53:36 PM »
The Bat was used by Privateers and sank ships off Borneo. Bridges in Burma. It would get confused by ground clutter if fired at a target with land as it's background. The second link below shows all of the aircraft that carried the BAT.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.
