No worries Sandstorm, my bad was that I chose to get into that furball with clearly too many hostile in the area while I cleared you to next steerpoint and then asked you back for support, silly of me as we should have stayed within visual range to support each others.
Regarding the buddy spike, I did not hear any hard lock warning from my RWR, just the slammer going active and within about 20miles I think, it was way too late for me, specially as you shot another sidewinder ha ha.
We'll take that into account for next time. I haven't reviewed the tape yet but will do that today.
It was fun flying with you, I'll definitely be back, maybe tonight after my VFS flight, probably around 2030 ZULU
