Keerist the short range icons....
« on: August 15, 2001, 11:43:00 AM »
Was in funkedups mission last night and when a 109 comes screaming down on you the icons pops up at 2.9...I jumped to the top turret and was pointed the wrong way...by the time I got the thing pointed in the right direction I was smoking with 1 engine out!

Wow!!  Can't take yer eyes off a dot at any time.

Not at all. You've got to be scanning the skies at all time whether a gunner or pilot.

Sure raises that pucker factor  :)

Yeah I felt the same way Skernsk, that was a great bounce.  He was on us before we could react.
