Totally agree Gilly. Those cruise missiles are too indiscriminate. Also anyone know how much they cost these days? I remember during the Gulf tomahawk barrage some crazy figures given out for each missile. Bit annoyed they are firing them like confetti when each ones cost could probably train a pilot and keep his aircraft in service for a year

Edit: $750,000 each. Not as much as I thought

I hear talk from our press about the rebels being boosted by the coalition attacks but I don't hear much about who the rebels are.

BBC are reporting that an F15 came down in Libya last night. No word on what caused it but I'm getting the horrible feeling this whole situation is going to get messy (not that it already isn't).

Edit: mechanical failure is being sited as the reason. Both crew are safe.

Every time I crash in BoP and the game doesn't give a kill, thats mechanical failure and totaly unrelated to the huge amount of bullets striking my plane

BBC reporting a French plane destroyed a Libyan plane just after it landed. It's just like CTA at Manston
