ABS FIESTA REDUX

welcome :^)


I pop two packs of flares and chaff and start evasive maneuvers. "I thought we already killed all of these."

Laser-guided missiles care not for silly things like infrared signiatures. Tempest's only hope for evading the missile is for allied forces on the ground to incapacitate the operator. Unfortunately, the Marines are either too deafened, spiteful, or simply far away to take care of the missile team and he takes a hit. He's lucky it was only a smaller, short-ranged shoulder-fired model, or things could have turned out far worse.

No comment.

how did a shoulder-fired missile hit a stealth fighter that was performing evasive maneuvers?

[Operator¹]

It was laser guided

yadda yadda it hit him next scene every-body chill, its not like he got shot down

there really isn't a next scene, y'all can go back to the malantan airbase and chill

i just don't think that it's feasible that a MANPAD unit in a jungle would be able to hit a stealth plane flying low and fast and maneuvering to evade. how does that even work with a manual guide to target system

It was actually a Kintharian MANPAD. An starfish-seeking missile. Clearly.

[Mr. Hurricane]

because the missile is infrared tracking and stealth shapes/RAM only work radar, you casual

if you knew anything about guidance systems you'd know that laser guided missiles are not IR guided missiles, you casual.

It was laser guided

good luck focusing a laser on a supersonic jet with a big ass rocket tube on your shoulders

not to mention laser guided MANPADs aren't used IRL because of this

[CypherX]

i deserved it like forget but i don't think i did enuf to piss off the blood god and his missile arsenal

who uses beam riders anymore

almost all are infrared

okay junco i see it now, xxkills' MANPAD confused me.

even so all you have to do to defeat a beam rider is break LoS

[CypherX]

Infrared = HSM, laser guided = laser guided. qwep noted laser guided, and if it was IR my flares should have done the trick

and the huits are in a jungle too, so like i said it just doesn't seem feasible
