- First off, my uncle bought this for me for christmas and I've been having a
- ball learning and flying this advanced electronic warfare machine. This game
- really made me realize how today's warfare is 100% technological warfare.
-
- My only complaint so far is lack of recoinasance of enemy territories and the
- enemy's ability to track onto you and sneak up behind you without even turning
- on their radar. This makes me very nervous-especially when awacs use is very
- limited.
-
- My system is a 486/50/256C with 16 megs and I hooked up direct at 38,400 with
- my uncle's 386/33 and we only ran into one incident when something went wrong.
- The problem was very minor. I saw my wingman get hit by a missile and he
- stayed perfectly fine.
-
- Supposedly, you can do the same with SNIFF, but for some reason, my SNIFF
- never picks anything up. I've read the whole book and the book does not say
- much about SNIFF. I've spent weeks playing Co-Op mode with my uncle and
- there hasn't been one incident where we could pick up a bogey in SNIFF. Can
- anyone please explain how this thing works?
