Did you kill any of them? :) It's usually possible to get one or two before bugging out.

ack! :eek:

wtf kinda surreal ammo counters is that? Does the P-47 really have that much ammo?

Oh man...

And I used to think my 190a5 had a good ammo loadout.

Perk the P-47!

Must be missing something here... yellow icons... you were in the mission or did someone send you this pic?

and... were they hitting a forward base or a relatively undefended one?

He probably changed his enemy icon color to yellow numbnuts.  Notice how they're identified by plane type instead of pilot handle?  :p

I'm betting he's a bit on the Red/Green colorblind side, so he's tuned the icon colors to something he can see a bit better.  Hence yellowish for enemies, and possibly blueish or something for friendlies.

At least he took the right tool for the job. :)

And yes, the Jug has that much ammo.  Don't forget though, each counter is the ammo load for 4 .50 cal guns.  It's still an absolute crapload of ammo though. :)

It was relatively small mission, 12-15 tiffies, not that much.
