Hitoshi Nomura<br/><strong>Date:</strong>March 12, 0930<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Fighter Base, Training Room II<br/><strong>With:</strong>T'chak<br/><hr/>Commander Nomura watched the Zentradi go through the motions he ordered for a while, at one point slowing him down a little. "Don't go too fast," he told T'chak. "If you go too fast you'll make more mistakes. The more mistakes you make, the longer it will take to get those wrong moves out of your memory again. Slow and steady. We are not in a hurry here."<br/><br/>After a while he sat down on the boarding ladder and reached for his half-finished can of water, still giving commands to T'chak. The pilot would follow orders to the best of his abilities, without Nomura watching over him like a hawk, of that the commander was pretty certain by now.<br/><br/>After finishing his drink and another few minutes of training, the commander called a halt. "Alright. Enough for the moment. We'll repeat this exercise a little later, to see how well it stuck. Take your helmet off and I'll walk you through another aspect of the controls. Weapons selection."<br/><br/>Hitoshi Nomura climbed down the ladder and fired up one of the computers connected to the cockpit, bringing the cockpit displays to life. He selected the standard 'electronic patrol' configuration for the simulated equipment and weapon loadout, before he joined T'chak at the cockpit again. "Now, you won't carry many weapons during typical patrol, just a gun pod and a single missile pack, but you'll still have decisions to make, and make them fast during combat." He leaned into the cockpit and talked a bit about how the weapon selection worked, how missiles, once selected, would be switched between different modes of single or salvo fire.<br/><br/>"You can also prioritize your weapons stations so you don't have to cycle through all hardpoints to get what you want, set up personal priority profiles, so to speak. The controls for that are there." He pointed to the controls on the right of the central display, below the communications controls. "It gets a bit technical there. So instead of dwelling on that we'll just focus on your standard weapons, go through the motions a bit, then look at the missile load for wild weasel missions."
