What are the Fences made of? SAPP armored brigade set back
« on: April 18, 2008, 11:58:35 PM »
During a test run of the SAPP tactical armored unit, we ran into difficulties while trying to get through a wooden fence.

Yes I know it's a P39 but there were 38s on the roll, literally, with me.  I felt that the 37mm of the P39Q needed to be tested in the anti-tank role.  Thinking the fastest route between two points is a straight line, I rolled my 39 past a house, thinking I could easily chop through a little wooden fence with my propeller.


But no!  I get my nose through and the 39 attempts to climb the fence


Naturally the fence doesn't give, the P39 does, losing both wings and main gear while starting on fire.  Note SAPP P38 in support of my 39


Sadly the 39 was out of the fight without firing a shot, but undaunted the P38 continued to roll to the fight.  So what are the fences really made of? :)

:rofl I wish more people would do odd and awkward things like you guys. I've never encountered one of your raids yet.

How on earth could you encounter one of their raids when they cannot get off the ground????

The plan was to sneak up on the enemy armor and shoot em.  They can see us coming in the air.  We were going secret super stealth ninja mode.  Bastages made the fences too hard!

I think its funny that the fence took out your engine but it didn't ding your prop at all.

Well Hello......The trees in AH are made of petrified wood, and thats were the wood fences come from. So naturally they are going to be like stone walls.  :D

What's sad about this is I did the same thing and killed an OSTY once by sneaking up on it and killing it with the 75mm. I got within about 30 feet of it and slammed on my brakes which forced the nose down and allowed me a shot.

This is clearly a case of account hijacking. There is NO WAY that is really Guppy's plane -- even though its smoking, all the parts are there and there's no fire!
