Re: Weapons accuracy
In reality (I don't know about crunchies, i.e. grunts or the infantryman), but us tankers hated and feared jets, we could not shoot at them, and if they came over our ao we would go like mad into trees to hide from them (this was versus our own air in exercises in Germany with MILES equipment on).
Once in the desert we were doing maintenance ('cat napping') on our tank and an Warthog buzzed over the top of us (about 10 feet about us) and I think we all had to change our under garments, you can't hear those things until they are right on top of you, thank God they were on our side, I still can hear the Bbbbburrrpp and know that is 1k or so rounds ripping something to shreds.
Once our Earth Pig (FOO in a modified M113) called in a 'Shake and Bake' and they dropped 2k iron bombs on some Iraqi bunkers and followed that up with gas bombs (we could not use napalm).
Choppers you can shoot, with your 50 cal, but when they are hovering over your tank about 15 to 20 feet up your sure glad they are on your side as they are sending out their rockets of death.
Pretty crazy stuff.
