  1. Agreed, those pilots are stupid. They were flying right next to that thing, right where it can collide with them, using air-to-air missiles at point-blank like dumb rockets (when they should have used short range AGMs, actual dumb rockets, guns (the big kind like the AC-130 or A-10 have), or even bombs). Radar and Heat seeking AAMs (Like the AIM-120 and AIM-9 that appear to be used here) can't lock what might as well be terrain. Ideally, the aircraft should have stayed at least a few kilometers away, unless they're an A-10 doing a gun run or dropping bombs. Being at high altitude would also help, and choosing to not fly right under the beast, against orders, and then ejecting would have helped, but likely isn't possible because management said all the pilots have to die. Also, this thing seems to ignore square cube law like it's a 30' long creature that got scale tool'd, and the physics of the wake turbulence isn't quite right.

  2. He could have very easily just went down (far enough to avoid the creature!), dropped some speed, and been behind the enemy in an ideal position to fire at it. The pilot could have also went up and done the same thing, or just not ejected.

  3.  @robertbusek30  The humans in this scene had a major skill issue. There are several ways they could have avoided being engaged in melee combat.

  4.  @danieldickson8591  And also very much violates the square cube law. It should have taken an object that size at least 20 seconds to execute that maneuver, not 3.
