Loved the SLR, but always thought it was the wrong weapon for Airfield defence, all you had to do was parachute into the centre of the airfield, lie prone and allow the Squadrons to shoot sh*t out of each other across the airfield.
The SLR didnt fit too well in the back of a Bulldog either LOL (dont ask ) but I managed it - it was worth the struggle to fly away from a Taceval and drink coffee in a Tower a few miles down the road
