Hawk,
Sorry I missed your PM in game earlier...no worries it's all good. Can I suggest that if you want and some of your guys have time Madcat and I can give you guys some training in the F8. She is a wonderful beast and has a good bombload.
From what I saw in the buffer you guys went NOE and also dropped NOE as well?? Followed up by gun passes??
Constructive criticism follows...
If so that may have been part of the trouble. Madcat and I went back to 17 and closed it..we were NOE and had a single 500kg dfused in our 190A4s. About 3-4 miles out we popped in a hard climb and made it to 6k or so. Madcat called the emitter and dove in (70deg dive) and I could see ack coming up as he jinked away and started climbing when clear. His dfuse bomb went off and closed 17. We did similar attacks on the outposts and we never got pinged. We only made one gun pass on an outpost and that was after ALL the guns were down.
Tooling around on the deck in these ack settings is not the place to be. IMHO
The offer stands if you want some pointers..
<S>
