that Russian Carrier defense is no joke, i sent 4 at it all in skim and it took down them all, and me too, but that's probably because i was just watching my Harpoons
its probably going to be added eventually, the A10 has a ladder that can be stowed, i think its just a low priority since ED still implementing more in demand features
well it is early access, once the aircraft is completed I'm sure we will get the rest of the aircraft's features complacently modeled, ED has shown they have a commitment to quality and accuracy, but it takes time to get things right
After ejection I noticed that the pilot from the F-18 is wearing Air Force patches after ejection, you can see the Air combat command on the right Brest and hes wearing an Air Force style name tag as well. not a big deal but when ED starts really polishing the F-18 it would be a nice attention to detail fix
the reconnaissance mission isn't really a fighter mission, we use ISR aircraft in permissive environments and we use standoff recon aircraft like JStars and the U2 in non permissive environments
