Aye it is. I once flew off the TCS Austin with my wingman WildFire-, we headed off to nav point 1 and came across a salthi patrol. Good sign that a carrier was in the area. I sent a burst laser link signal back to the Austin and fell in under WildFire-'s wing. Four of them and two of us, piece of cake, or so we thought. We waited until we got close in and dumped off some Heatseekers and then broke as they opened up with their lasers. I picked one up right away and had to juke left and right before I could shake him a bit. Meanwhile one of the Salthi shot right past me and I instinctively hit the trigger and turned him into a pile of death and destruction. WildFire- was doing the dance of death with a pair of furballs. They had him boxed in and were pounding the living shit out of his paper thin shields, I ignored the missile warning chime and afterburned straight at the lead Salthi firing for all my hornet was worth. Drained the guns but I got the little fucker. WildFire- shook the other cat and tore him a new one. Then the last Salthi came out of nowhere and blew WildFire- into little fiery pieces, I cried and ran home with my tail between my legs. That sucked.
