S11E03: 1973.10.13-16 (The Many Ways To Fail) or (The Ace Summoner)

Once again I skip a few missions here and there. I don't fly, when there is no front line movement, and when Israel is on the offensive.

1973.10.13



But I don't wanna go to fucking Suez again!

The mission video


In which bombing is no longer relevant



I'm certain, the only target I can't easily take out this way are the airbase ammo bunkers, which are small and have lots of HP.

1973.10.14



Armed recon? Is there anything new you can offer?



Well, that's new. We get a shipment of almost all the fancy missiles we've been lacking so far.

The mission video


In which I'd love some backstory



The Sidewinder is back in business.




The same day, the same-ish area, a different battle for us to ruin.

The mission video


In which I bury a wingman prematurely

Yeah, he wasn't killed. A pilot on our next recorded mission got KIA, though.



After spraying the entire tank unit with bomblets I somehow scored a kill. Unbelievable.

1973.10.15



SEAD on a non-upgraded Skyhawk. I also forgot to take the jammer.

The mission video


In which it's that time again



The time when everybody does bugger all

1973.10.16



The Syrian front has been mostly slow and quiet so far. Now they attack under the cover of weather and terrain.

The mission video


In which... just watch



On the one hand, they all are idiots. On the other hand, at least today they tried.
