I worked in munitions in the US Air Force. Anything to do with bombs and missiles in movies is the worst for me. No you can’t outrun a blast. No, a plane cannot just do a barrel roll and have a heat seeking missile fly past it. They also don’t follow your exact path. They use proportional navigation to basically find the shortest path to you.

lol yup one thing I can’t ignore are helicopter and plane sounds. There could be an actual friggin blackhawk landing (Jack Ryan is a perfect example) and they edit in incorrect sounds!

  They probably didn’t even record any sounds when they shot the scene.

  I especially hate it when you see a Warthog firing the old Avenger and they’ve made it sound like a slightly more rapid version of the original Gatling Gun. So underwhelming.

  I hate it when they have a modern fighter jet firing it’s guns and it sounds like “thunka thunka thunka thunka”.

    Do they even still mount guns on fighter jets or do they just use missiles?

    They do still mount guns on most. Notable examples of gunless fighters I can think of are the F-117 Nighthawk and the F-4 Phantom. F-117s weren’t really fighters, and got the F designation to lure in crazy fighter jocks. F-4s were larger fitted with a gun pod, and then (IIRC) retrofitted with a gun.
