Ah, but 40 years ago, or thereabouts, real naval aircraft did some extremely impressive fire power demos at VLN!

I recall a 'Vixen doing a simulated nuclear delivery. It roared in at warp snot, pulled up and did its escape manoeuvre. The seconds ticked by, then a big flash, b£oody big bang and a huge (petrol) fireball and mushroom cloud....

Sorry, but a few helicopters and machine guns aren't quite the same.
