"You boys did alright this afternoon but don't get cocky just yet!! That was just a taste of what's to come. Now that the Ruskies are alerted to our presence we can expect a retaliation at any moment."

Great Job! Sinking the Kiev was only 1/2 the battle. You are lucky you even made it there because of those SU-27s that came out of nowhere! Your fighter escorts are being reprimanded for not paying close attention the SU-27s should have never been within firing range of you.

You failed us??? How could you?? The mission was a breeze except for a little negligence on the part of your fighter escorts. However, you were sent up with the Navy's finest weapons, what part of point, click and shoot don't you understand?? Hit the deck maggot and give me 100! We don't run a half assed operation around here! It's KILL...or BE KILLED! Do you understand that? After you are done with those pushups I want every toilet this side of the flight deck POLISHED with THIS TOOTHBRUSH! Do you understand that? And when yer done with that get back in that Hornet and finish the job!! Now I KNOW you understand THAT!!

TIP:

Sic your wingie on the stray bandit just as soon as he is within AMRAAM 50%. Then climb, climb, climb. Full AFT. If he's not done for by the time you reach 15,000 ft then he should be within your max hit probability for your AMRAAMs so let him have it. Also, don't let your wingies get nailed before they unload their ordnance on the Kiev.
