— Hawkins's pilot before their mission
The Pilot of Shark 4-6 is a minor character that appears in Battlefield 3.
Biography[]
Appearing only in the mission Going Hunting, the character is a US Navy pilot stationed aboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77). He flies the two-seater F/A-18F Super Hornet, callsign Shark 4-6, in cooperation with the aircraft's weapons officer Jennifer Hawkins. His role is similar to Ingham in Thunder Run, briefing the player at the start of the mission, as well as advising them of threats and responding to their actions when in combat.
The Pilot and Hawkins are tasked with an attack on high value targets at Mehrabad Airport in Tehran, Iran. After being scrambled, the aircraft is involved in dogfights with Iranian jets on the way to the airport, during which their wingman Shark 4-2 is shot down. Upon reaching the airport, they provide SEAD support and designate targets for A-10 Thunderbolt II assets to attack. With their mission completed, they return safely to the carrier.
His dialogue seems to suggest he dislikes being assigned ground support missions, describing them as "whiskey delta". He is much more enthusiastic towards the present mission, seeming to relish the special role they are to play in the attempted killing of Faruk Al-Bashir, and the anticipated high stress of the situation. Once airborne, he seems relatively calm in combat even after friendly losses or when flying through enemy flak.
