So don't use missiles.  I agree it isn't all that hard to shoot down
a plane with an AMRAAM, but try it with guns.  I suspect it might take
you a while, at least to get it down consistently.

By the way, we (my roomies and I) have developed a wish list for
F/A-18 II, or whatever it will be called:

   - A different city.  San Francisco was a great choice for the
        first one, but I have now explored every square mile of the
        available terrain.  May I suggest NYC as the next city?
   - (of course) More scenarios.
   - Modification of what happens when you ditch in the ocean.
        Don't just have the plane sit there at 0 knots.  Make it sink!
   - A "turbine failure" would immediately assume you no longer have
        thrust - so make it that way - don't just freeze the throttle
        and pitch controls!
   - Make the working ceiling more than 40960 feet.  How about if you
        go higher than 60000 feet you get a flame out?

Please add to this list!  :-)
