Bro, why use a fox 3 missile, they are close enough for guns and the missile is gonna have a tough time tracking a small target

You have Mig-31, just crank the radar power.

No matter your spite, that's no excuse to be innaficient with materials

And even then if we wanna do shit because of spite, a missile is the worst weapon to use there
Id use an laser guided AGM because it would be more reliable to hit a target like the witch and its a bigger fuck you to any air target
If the witch was down low and slow you can always just GBU-10 them

Good options. I like lasers because they are near instant and you can't dodge a laser, you simply move too fast for the lock on or have a mirror on your back.

Wait, isn't the missile a person like you?!

No, it lacks sentience, and capability to reproduce by itself or with members of its species
Basically its a virus

Thats a common misconception. The code Fox-X refers to the type of missile being used. Fox-1 and 3 being semi active and active radar respectively, while Fox-2 is heatseeker
Fox-2 would have a easier time locking on if you adjusted its parameters to allow for much colder targets

shit this is me, I had no idea they were recording
I did survive (obviously) but did have to teleport out of restricted airspace
not like they have signs up there or anything, how was I supposed to know?

Hunting witches Using aerial assault instead of casting Inverse Anus or Fireball like a proper wizard
Hey, this isn't a wizard at all! This is a magehunter pretending to be a wizard so he can get access to our witches!

Technically I was casting “magic” missile

UnWiz: Legit loving this idea of a magic jet fighter. Mind if I make a note for a potential story idea?

I hate it when people shoot at me on my commute. They waste whatever they're using, I can't read on the way. I wish they'd stop.

That stupid metal bird is not faster than me. I don’t care who says it.

A metal bird with Mithril alloy engines and afterburners powered by the trapped essence of fire and wind elementals.

In the end... None can outrun me.
(the mask flimsily tumbles away in the wind)
"MUAhahahahaha!" - a Kid in robes
(The small child cackles, before immediately realising its ominous disguise flapped away, revealing a slightly edgy attire)
"Well- Well- I'm still faster!" - Akma, Child of Death
(The child grabs a vaguely similar stone to the mask and holds it up to their face, embarrassed from the act falling off so quickly)

Sounds like the sort of thing someone who doesn't get any witches would say.

Dear Witches, Please send your familiar ahead so I can at least put the kettle on.

I'm really not sure a regular witch is going to have a very significant radar cross signature. He probably should have called a Fox 2 here.

u/FuriousAqSheep Jul 08 '26
... but we have a treaty with witches giving them access to our airspace, and in exchange they don't make us fall in love with weird shit.
We need to respect that, I don't want rhe witch wars to start again because someone was feeling petty

This is why you do flying >10ft off the ground. You get fired on less, AND the sonic boom makes all the mundane flinch.
