Get the F-106A “Six Shooter” in the Sky Guard Event!

I’ll give it a month even though the missiles are worse than 9Bs.

there not aim4s arent horrible there just worse aim9Ds

Yeah, Im thinking at least 9.7 before the end of the event. They surely cant compare the F-106 with the F-104 and Lightnings at 9.3

Lightning is much faster.

If it was modelled correctly the F-106 would’ve been 200km/h faster than the lightning at Mach 2.4 instead of Mach 2.1 like it is now.
However it is faster at sea level where most 9.3 games happen anyways. And only by 100km/h.

this is true world record speed for a f106 is mach 2.39

Not capable of reaching it without some modification tho
To get to this speed they had to basically disable all safety limitations of engine. And this engine was dead by the time the flight ended

t34 ingame only went 30 mph by destroying itself and all its wheels
also the engine may have been bad but airframe didnt break apart which makes no sense since ingame airframe limit is 2.1 when it should be higher
mig 23 ingame should be limited to mach 2.35 but its not compressor blades started warping past that and canopy would crack and melt

I am perpetually confused by the tooltip for the event tokens.

Is that 11:59 PM on the 20th? Or is that 11:59 AM on the 21st that the token starts?

I personally read that as 11:59 PM and yet you cant start collecting score even several hours after that. Though Im certain ive missed out on tokens before because I couldnt collect score after 12:29 AM. So is there just an 11.5 hour period where you cant collect score?

Id love to be able to get a chunk of score in before heading off tonight for example. but I cant until tomorrow afternoon?

It begins on the current day, because Gaijin omits the date if it’s the same as todays date. The next task starts in just over 7 hours.

There’s actually a 30 minute overlap period I’m reading the times correctly.

Gaijin doesn’t use PM or AM due to time zones
They use 24 hour format
For example in GMT+3 its 13:59:56 and 14:29:56

Anyone know how to close the missile bay if there are still unfired missiles?
