The A1E was a pleasure to employ. They carried a vast amount of ammo of all kinds. They would usually operate in pairs, and take turns doing the most damage to the bad guys. Never employed US A1Es; most were VNAF, and most pilots had thousands of flying hours, and did not waste ammo -- they were accurate!
