Made this today, for my collection version of Ace v2.
Decided to make him a Navy LTC, rather than a Marine. Made more sense. as for the above sniper story, I heard about something similar happening in Afghanistan. One bullet, four kills because it somehow detonated a suicide vest. Last edited by CapBritain; 06-02-2022 at 02:43 AM.. |

Looks good Cap. Ace always needed a radar intercept officer (much like Wild Bill needs a co-pilot). The Joes definitely need more pilots from other services. I think we can all agree Ace should have been a Navy pilot.

I kind of wish Hama had made Ace a Naval Aviator to better suit his role as an F-14 pilot operating off the Flagg.

Good choice. Most people put Airborne in the co-pilot's seat but I see him more as a former 15T UH-60 Helicopter Repairer (basically the crew chief's on a Blackhawk) then reclassifying as an Infantryman versus being an actual pilot (which would require him to be a Warrant Officer). |

While based on a Navy plane the Skystriker came out 2 years before the FLAGG. So I can't imagine the FLAGG was in their wildest dreams in 83? Why they choose the F-14 vs the F-15 or the F-16 which was all the rage back in those days before Top Gun I will never know.
The Ghost Striker X-16 is a great toy. So i am glad we finally got it. 10 years later.

I did use Airborne previously, as a secondary role to being a para. Like I've used Lady Jaye as backseater to Ace, as a secondary role, and Falcon as a Persuader gunner as a secondary role.

at a guess, I'd say it's a thing from her intelligence training. Being pilot qualified probably comes in handy if you need to bug out in a hurry.
Bob Brown in The Unit could fly small helicopters and light aircraft, both single and twin engine. And he was an NCO in a Delta-type unit... |
