It’s a classic underdog story – a display of skill, perfect timing, and a bit of fortune that gets everyone on your team excited and frustrates the enemy. It’s not about using a lock-on missile; it’s about anticipating where a quick aircraft will be and launching a slower projectile to intercept it in a spectacular explosion.
