tfw esam is neglected by second squad leader

i wanted to swap aircraft before the mission so i could take esam but since that's not happening i'll just let the sabre do what it does best

wanted to do this for a while, anyways

edit: i'm swapping out the fusion engine and extra flare for esam

[CypherX]

grumble

[Gojira]

I'd keep the fusion engine, supermaneuverable would greatly benefit a plane based around using guns and dogfighting. ESAMs arent required, don't let people harass you into spending ordnance points on taking them if you don't want to, especially since this isn't an incredibly high stakes mission right now and the Sabre's got a limited ordnance capacity as it is. This is not something that requires two ESAM (or even this many people for that matter), you aren't flying against super-aces or protecting a critical asset or attacking a superweapon. If worse comes to worst you'll just lose a few tanks and soldiers, and incur tippys wrath.

why would tanks break into a city just to be broken out of it

[Mr. Hurricane]

Backing out of mission for simplicity's sake, and because I have an interceptor and not a ground attack.

Edit: This regiment has to be combined armor/mechanized, because there is no reason for an armored regiment to be stuck in a city, especially without infantry support.

[Qwepir]

why would tanks break into a city just to be broken out of it

Because they're hotheaded and overeager to get into a scrap, pursued a retreating unit inside the city to finish them off, and then got their exit closed on them. Now they need someone to come save their asses.

i see now why one of our pilots likes them so much
