A vulch story from a year or so back..

A new and exciting discovery !!
This game has it's options..


Here I was in a "meet in the middle" fight, flying and dying having a good time. Opposition dropped off as a horde of goodguys flew by on the way to the enemy field.

I got a half load of fuel, nobody left to fight, so off I go to see what's up.

When I get there, their all flying around the field..

TAKING TURNS SHOOTING PLANES TAKING OFF !!!

Well hey, I LIKE IT, that might work. Haven't thought of it before. Have a guy taking off, he can't do squat, shoot his soggy bellybutton and line up for the next...

The hell with this "fighting" thing...

I could make this a profession.

So I ask who is at the end of the line cuz I want to be polite and not take "cuts" but no one answers. After asking a few times without answers I figure it's whoever sees them first..

So with my eyes rivited on the end of the runway I yell DIBS on vox when the con spawned and dive at him..

Someone else kills him..

No problem, he probably didn't hear me so I line up again. Con spawns I yell DIBS and two other guys kill him..

Ok..

I see how it is, rules of the jungle. I spend the next 5 minutes being second or third to the guy taking off.

I'm timing my turns and finding a cycle of the takeoffs...Getting into "the flow"..

Coming down fast and at last, I'm FIRST IN LINE !!!

I close in six fifties blazing and shoot a circular ring around the con with the dirt flyin all around him on his roll... I'm at 100 yards drawing pretty circles on the runway when a guy comes in from the side and kills him...

When he flew past I pinged him and removed MY left elevator....

I'm fast, I barely miss the explosion and kiss the runway on my pullout..

I'm pulling like hell to raise the nose..

Ever so slowly my nose comes up..

Just as a Tiffy spawns at the other end of the runway...

Guns blazing..

And takes off my wing......

Fogitabotit, it's tough down there, goin back to fighting.

It's ALL about the fight..

Yeah, i know the feeling... :lol

As for not upping on a capped base.... somtimes it pays off just to keep trying! On the fifth or sixth spawn i made it up in a Hurri II (who the hell needs the runway anyway - just avoid fuel tank and soft gun ;)) killed two of the cappers :mad: , and even managed to land the kills. :D

I know, pure luck, but what the hell, it was FUN!  :aok
21 is only half the truth.
