I fly Knight 99% of the time but yesterday there wasn't any fights happening so I went Rook. Checked the map and found a possiblility and rolled.

Just after I lifted off a squad formed up on the runway. On RANGE channel the flight leader started givin orders..

"Roll roll roll" "At 180 go to auto climb and turn to zero one zero" "Form up"..."zero one zero NOW !!"

Along the way to the target he gave assignments to the pilots, had a weapons check, who was wingin with who, what their individual target assignment was etc..

I WAS IN A MOVIE !!! It felt so real...I could smell the sweat.

I was a ways ahead and when I arrived at the enemy field there were only two planes up. I killed them both.

Then these guys came barreling in, talkin movie stuff and just blew the crap out of those buildings..talkin "Roger" "Afurniture" and all sorts of pilot lingo.

WOW !!

I flew around the enemy base for a bit, wasn't any enemy so I flew home and landed.

..how long is it before you can change countries ??

All I can say is that I've never found a reason to leave rookland.

That's cool. It's amazing how there are differences. The last time I flew Rook for a couple of days I saw and heard similar stuff.

Interesting how a different chess piece hooks in different pilot types.

Its weird Nopoop.

A year or so ago, maybe a little more, Rooks were mainly composed of "fighter pilots". I mean there was base taking goin on there but the vast majority IMHO of players were fighter jocks. It was alot of fun. Somewhere along the line, that changed. I think when they started getting numbers back.

Then the guys who liked the fights saw that the rooks were getting numbers again so they went to the country with the lesser numbers. Basicly, as you know, its just a cycle.

Although now its a cycle that involves mostly new players who think killing buildings is the only part of the game.

Yes .... buildings present such a challenge. Ya gotta put the pipper on `em and shoot enough bullets into `em that ya don't auger into `em. Oh wait ... and there's the bombs and missles ... errr ... rockets stuff. Course I doo-doo better with bullets. There was a guy on the other night askin' about how to turn off the cockpit.

Thing is .... I've seen it on both Kniggit and Rooklandia. Ain't been Bishpup, I don't think ... at least not recently. Not enough good pilots there to keep me alive.

I might have flown my P-38 at the 15k-20k range (that is the best operational altitude for that plane) but you can hardly call me a timid flyer. You should know, I've smacked you around enough times.
