“Missile
away.”
Vasily
is not about to let me be the only one to gain a kill
this day. He has fired at the remaining F-4, an R-27ER.
As I correct and roll back in, Vasily curses, for the
Turk has broken the lock.
“One, shooter.” I am calling for the next shot, but Vasily has already
let fly with another R-27RE.
“Roger.
Missile away.”
He
is concentrating on the second F-4 as I reset into BVB-Vertical
Scan mode, and mash the button. The system pops into
Autotrack mode, and the arrow at the bottom left of
my BVB-ATK display is pointed hard across the HUD, telling
me that the element lead is beaming me to break the
radar lock. The arrow at the bottom left of my DVB-ATK
display is pointed hard across the HUD, telling me that
the element lead is beaming me to break the radar lock.
In
my excitement, I have relied on my radar too much! This
would lead to my fast death were my opponent a NATO
or American flier. Thankfully, this Turk is too stupid
to exploit my error. He and his wingman cross my path,
in an effort to evade Vasily’s missile. I will
make them dance for their pains.
“Fox
two, long.” |
