Hi all, just wanted to see if anyone has any good stories of air-to-air kills with the unguided rockets.
I've only been playing this game since this year, and I only have two rocket kills so far. One was a Mirage 2000 in one of the later missions, after I ran out of missiles and cannon rounds, and the wingman (I think it was Baseline?) softened the Mirage up with a few cannon hits. It was literally my last pair of rockets too, it was a pure desperation shot, and miraculously it worked.
Second was just now, in my second run through the game, in the final Alaska mission. I already had enough points to win the mission and Gwen was shot down, but there were still two A-10's left. The previous wave of two F-16s ate up the last of my missiles, and I finished one A-10 off with cannon fire, but ran out of ammo while firing on the second. I still had a full set of rocket pods, so I let rip. Unlike the Mirage, the A-10 didn't blow up right away, but I pulled away, and soon enough, the pilot lost control and ejected.
I'm eager to hear your stories.
