      Unquestionably the most “top gun” skill in modern warfare with regards to fighterbombers is intercepting high numbers of relatively slow flying (remember, slow flying compared to an f16) flying bombs with a nose chaingun.

      Most other useful skills for pilots are more boring than an action movie, but not intercepting slow flying bombs using just a nose chaingun… that pretty much always looks like an action movie manuever even when done as safely as possible.
