Then go back and get another load and do it again. If you can get 6 (not 5, but 6!) AMRAAMs to hit the tower squarely, you'll be treated to a lovely explosion and a sinking vessel. All of this can be done at just under 100 feet. I found that pulling up to 95 feet when you're about to fire works well, and the MiGs never touch me. -- <-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><+><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-> < | > < J.D.

I've tried everything I can think of to sink the carrier sub. I've hit every which way with multiple loads, multiple aircraft, landing on the carrier afterwards. I've foxed enough missiles at it (and hit it) to sink any ship. What am I missing??

You mean you actually can sink it? I had allways assumed it was impossible.I tried many missles, landing on it, ejecting out just before crashing into it with full ordinance etc, etc. I have found the closest game to FA/18 is WarHead... Same feeling... Speaking of WarHead, does anyone know the compaction method used for the graphic data? WarHead is totaly memory resident (512k), Yet manages to squeeze in 8 or so pictures.. The final sequence of WarHead seems to suggest a sequal, do you know if this is the case, or were the author(s) just keeping thier options open? Proff / The Force
