I used to sit tight knowing that no one gave two shits about deep SW Portland Oregon suburbs when they decided where canned sunshine went. Then NK got their Kerbal-assed ICBM and I'm not so sure.

Don’t forget the Ace Combat loadouts you could do in those games. 4x weapon bays, each could carry 3x AMRAAMs or 4x Sidewinders.
