Re: A Pilot's guide on how to be a SMART gunner.
"One thing for pilots to remember - once you see my missle take off, or hear me say "fired" - MOVE - no need to sit there and hover while I am guiding my shot. If they did not see us, they will follow the trail, or their friends that did not get hit will. By the time I get back to cockpit tv view, I am reloaded and ready for my next target - which if you are good pilot, you already have in my view."
Thats an excelent point. You dont need to hover after the gunner fires the TV missle. Id like to point out that you may need to hover before he fires it though. I guess it depends on how good the gunner is.
