I just saw this thread and I decided to give it a go! It’s great to see these threads that impart knowledge on us that we can’t get from the manual, (at least not that I have found). Thanks so much for sharing this! I put together a basic TE with 2 Growlers from a carrier attacking a nest of 2 SA-10s. I made sure that the steer points were all turned to jam and then took off. I have to say that it worked like a charm and I easily deployed Harms that took the SA-10s out. I never had that much success against SA-10s before and it was quite a rush!! I then returned to the carrier and attempted a landing. As you might expect, this was pretty iffy. I had never succeeded in landing a Super Hornet on a carrier but this time I actually got it on the deck and stopped, albeit at about 210 knots!! Then I immediately burned up! Have any of you guys had any success with the Super Hornet in carrier ops? I was under the impression that the flight model of the Super Hornet wouldn’t let us land with a live pilot. Now I wonder if I am just missing something out there. Any suggestions?
