A week ago I was floating around the MA minding my own business.. I eventually come across an enemy (not sure which country) and I dive down to it attempting to BnZ it and get out. The wind sheer knocked me around a bit (forgot what alt i was at) and I pull out and look to find where he was. I get a glimpse of his icon and suddenly, it flashes to a "G-S"! The icon reading what type of plane actually read "G-S" for a split second. I tried to get a screen shot of this or film it, but it went away too quick for me to react.

Then, 2 nights ago, I was minding my own business again in a F4U-1C at 18k. I notice a slightly damaged B17 around 15k or so. I line up, dive, and crappily ping him. I pull up, do an immelman, and go for another pass. This time it was a clean kill. His wing explodes to a flaming mess and all is good. As he bailed, I saw the "G-S" icon again!! I *TRIED* to record it and get a screen shot of this mysterious event.. I wasn't quick enough.

I think the B17 pilot was Ubo.. not totally sure. But he had said afterwards that I was invisible! The connects were pretty wonky that night. Everyone was lagging and bouncing all over hell. That probably explains my invisibility (or he prolly wasnt paying attention

) But it doesn't explain my *second* sighting of the mysterious "G-S" icon. What is that?! Anyone else have similar experiences or am I just going insane?

Uh!?

DB603, please check spelling. I read Rook when it's got to be Knight

That's the reason for them wearing those leathersuits.....Knit sheep not suitable as whool producers. Wear & Tear I guess....

Cheers,

Spelling is OK.ROOKS have VERY close relationship with both their smelly sheep and buttugly women

I saw this along time ago, in V1.04, the icon was on the ground though (in a chute maybe?)

Gotta Shoot the chute.

When they're labeled as Gotta Shoot, they're worth bonus points.
