Bellows, Maruk, Napier, Pavs, Payne, Maxwell, Broten, Giles, Mckegney Ciccarelli.

The visiting NHL teams practiced at Bloomington Ice Gardens.  I was a rink rat there.  I used to sneak back on to the ice after the Zamboni redid the ice after rat time.  There would be what seemed like 100 pucks thrown out on the ice by the teams' staff.  I'd goof off with the players on the ice until one of their coaches or a rink staffer tossed me.  Man that was fun.

I was fast... raced Denis Savard in a line drill once..heheheh he beat me big time.(and he smoked back then lol)

I'm not generalizing.   I also haven't been "putting words that you haven't said" in your posts.    Before you call "ignorance" it is best to step back, realize who said what, says what, and then think it over.

I've never seen you Rook, as the Raw Prawns are a Rook squad, and Hugo9, RT, FTJR are good friends.  

You must be the only person in your squad that DOES NOT PM when shot down.   Because no less than 8 of your "generalizations" have done it.    Move along now.

Considering that we live in very different parts of the world the fact that you have not seen me as rook is not strange at all, is it?

JR, Mangy, Gork, Ductape and the others I've flown with are all fantastic blokes and they're a pleasure to fly with and against.

Perhaps I am the only person who doesn't PM when i get shot down. My point still stands, you should not dismiss my opinion without having a good reason to do so. The actions of others is not a valid reason.

I'd also prefer it if you did not speak down to me, it is unecessary.

Also, I've never seen the PMs, it is not spoken of so I never knew of it. Dallas happens to be a realy friendly and enthusiastic guy and since I've only flown with him, I wouldn't know otherwise.

I joined the Screaming Devils because they were a Bish squad who were really friendly, took the time to help me out when I was getting started and liked to fly Luftwaffe aircraft. They insisted that I join, so started out with them after flying lone-wolf from the beginning.

I've been planning to do a tour or two with the Rooks so perhaps I will see you around some time in the near future.

--outside view in F3 mode!

IMO Ghi is quite correct in this opinion.  

The Il2 was infamous for poor pilot visibility and yet we get to fly it in F3...........

I still believe that AH would profit if a proper attack classification was created and F3 switched off when in an attack aircraft.

You think?   Do you realize the number of players that have had to put up with about 10 of the squadron members, or are you just blind?

I used to think that ghi (clarified Indian Butter?) was just a HO'in little IL2 dweeb, but over the years my attitude has changed.

I have seen him lead countless MASS B-26 raids.

When a dar-bar BLOB up's from Bishland on a weekend, and when one of the first to scout the mission says "...It's about 15 boxes of B-26's in-bound!".....(with sufficient fighter escorts) I know it's a ghi mission.

To gather the sort of cooperation in THIS game that he does.....?

My hat is off.

The score page shows in April's tour, Ghi had 183 of 925 kills in and 60 of 220 deaths in an IL2.  Clearly he has abandoned the plane after the bug was fixed.

And, I'm sorry, I didn't realize the bug was the only possible reason anyone ever flew the IL2.  I thought it was because it is the best cap/vulch buster in the game, especially when fighter hangers are down.  

Why do people think that the IL-2 should be completely harmless?

It has two awesome cannons, two mg's with the highest rate of fire in WW2 and a lot of wing ares that allows it to turn and fight if it has some energy.
 Add to that the outside view a target rich environment and someone is going to go down to the guns of the Sturmovik. it can happen to anyone.
Even to some of the best pilots. it only takes a couple of those cannon shells to shoot down a plane.

The WORLD HIGHEST SCORING ACE TO BE KILLED IN COMBAT WENT DOWN TO THE GUNS OF THE il-2.


Otto Kittel with no less then 267 aerial kills was the victim. The forth highest scoring ace of all times.



" At 1206 hours on February 16, 1945 four Fw 190 A-8 led by Oberleutnant Otto Kittel of 2./JG 54 took off from an airbase in the Kurland pocket. The mission was free hunting over the frontline area near Dzukste. After only seven minutes the German fighters spotted fourteen Il-2s that were bombing and shooting rockets at German troops from an altitude of 450 feet. Oberleutnant Kittel radioed an attack order. The Il-2 Shturmoviks were flying in a row, one after another, and Kittel attacked from the right hand side. His wingman Oberfähnrich Renner wrote:
"Flying at a distance of about 300 feet from Oblt. Kittel I saw him dive beneath and behind an Il-2 and attack it. Behind us two other Il-2s pulled up sharply. In the nexy moment an explosion was seen in his cockpit and the aircraft started to descend." Kittel's Fw 190 tore into the ground with its starboard wing, caught fire, and then exploded. Otto Kittel, victor in 267 aerial combats and the highest scoring fighter pilot to fall prey to the enemy, had no chance whatsoever of surviving."


If it happened to him, it could happen to anyone.
