AAR & sorrowful confession
« on: March 30, 2009, 10:30:48 AM »
Had me some fun <sarcasum> last night in LWO Baltic.  Landed a 3 kill F6f sortie and checked the map only to see yet another Bish NOE mission pop on dar at A22.  Quickly I selected a Lgay seven (hate that thing...makes me feel skilless and ashamed) with every intention to goon hunt.  Needless to say the field was swamped with ho'ing nikies, tiff's and 110's by the time I had selected and rolled.  I was promptly shot down within 3 seconds of wheels up by 1 of 4 cons.  Nothing new there and it was pointless upping again to be some hoardlings perk point.  So I immediately up that lgay (shiver) from  A23 calling the alert for goon killers to follow.  Anyway about 1/2 way back to 22 it turns pink (Bish field colour).  I was a bit peeved but the dar bar soon dissipated as I entered the dar circle.  On my arrival there were 2 110's near the town.  1 turned about heading for the ack but the other made an attempt to fighter before he was dumped in the tower.  With clear skies I set about de-acking the town but picked up a pilot wound from the second to last ack remaining.  By then 3 guys had upper to sort me out so I went to the field so's they didn't see what I'd just done.  I made an abortive pass on a 110 as I blacked out.  Then made an attempt at an ammo bunker as I came to.  The field ack got me.

In tower I check the map before selecting the goon but eeek another Bish NOE pops on dar at 23...the very field I'm at.  This time I get to roll and head for the lickliest place the goon would come from.  Dodging a couple of ho passes I spots a goon near the NW side of hills by town but bamm my vert stab takes a left so I bails.   Here's the shamefull confession.  I opens the chute and I lands right by the town.  I have NEVER done this before. I consider it lowly and and gamey, a desperate action of the shamless.  I run through the town with my 45 sticking out before me as I hear that goon landing in.  It taxi's around to one side.  A line of troops march towards me so I stand in front and shoot every single one of the bleeders. 

In the distance I see friendly Gv's 4k away so I shouts I killed the first lot of troops but little did I know vox was out.  Some 110's made low passes looking for my chute as I walk up to the goon drivers window.  I pulls the trigger....empty.  My 10 shots were spent.

I tower out only to see the field totally de-acked with a strong cap.  Not willing to be a perk point for another skilless hoardling newbie I assess the situation.  Friendly Gv's inb 23's town.  22 town is flat, de-acked with time ticking by.  My best guesstimate is 30 - ish min before regain if indeed the town went down in 1 go.  I upped a goon from 32 (i thinks it's 32...field on the north 1 and 1/2 sectors easterly of 22) and take well over 10 min NOE through the cannons to 22's town.  As I get there 2 friendlies arrive and get it flashing.  I assume their porking or goon hunting.  23's friendly dar bar grows as the Bish mission faulters.   On vox I state my intentions requesting not to have cons dragged to my goon.  The friendlies are accommodating.  All NOE sneaky like I climb the hill, park up next town and let the troops go.  Sure enough I recapture 22.

My statement on 200 was thus.

"Wow that was err FUN." 

"It may suprise you to know that I de-acked 22 town.  Killed all your troops at 23 then recaptured 22 all on my own."

"So much for your 20 man missions."

Some rye comment came back about liking to playing on my own.  A masturbation inferal I assume but isn't a 20 man missions similar except there's a circle  :eek:

In closing I would assure everyone I have no intentions of making a habit of bailing over towns.   :devil

Yer..a NOE one man mission that pissed on the chips of many.   Real lowly of me in an unarmed C47.  Real skilless of me to do such a thing.  Real gamey of me to overwhelm the hoards by myself with their own tactics.

good work captain Lynx,    :aok

thats the kind of Rambo watermelon i've done in the past, i'm done bothering anymore.  I don't think killing troops in a chute is gamey.  If 20 guys can't strafe one chute they deserve not to get the field.

we were doing a little defence of bop/joker hording on sunday and had a laugh trying to kill as many as we could before getting overwhelmed.  I don't look down on their play style though.  If they choose to group up and fly together in massive missions then that to them is TEAMWORK, regardless of how many people they actually defeat in the air or on the ground.  However silly it may seem to us,  that is FUN for them and to each their own.

at the same time there was a major battle at 19. after about 45 minutes and about 60 people involved, they captured 19. at this point we(jg54/the class acts) decided to put up a heavy bombing mission. it was very cool!! we upped from a32 with 5 boxes of lancasters. climbed out to 14.3k, just under the clouds, and set up. as we approached 19 all our little friends(green fighters), saw us in bombers, and covered us.

As we came in over the field and town, we flatten the fighter hangers and then proceeded to flatten the town.

as we passed the town we had some enemy company but again our little friends came to the rescue and covered us and distracted the enemy fighters.

we missed a few buildings and some the bomber hanger so we made a circle and made another pass at the base and the town. we proceeded to finish off the base and the town.

alas no one was ready with troops and i dont think we recaptured it but it sure was a fun time!!

<S> to everyone involved with 19 and 22 last night! its what this game is all about!!

 :rofl

great LYNX made me laugh,

I do have a question for ya, straight up, why? why? why?

do you dis-like the LA-7 so much? is it because you are such a hard core Brit? or just cant like something Russian?

I consider you one of the better sticks in game, and I know you are smart enough not to judge that plane by the typical stick that flies it,

 but that plane is awesome, you cant help but respect it, it does every thing well, and flown to its strengths is almost unbeatable. it will take another great stick in a great plane to kill it.

just wondering

hope you are doing well.

I did almost exactly the same thing to base taken by a Dredger mission (used an m3 i ran off the side of the base and hid while the last troops ran in...then watched another noe launch out of the newly captured base and called it out on country ch...then a squaddie ran a fiter over and deacked the freshly captured base (an island)...and i dropped troops and got it back...was awesome!!)...

Oh wait a minute Dredger is your squad mate isn't he Lynx???  You know the "rook mass mission leader" who flew constant noe's with 110s and nikis and mass goons???  He was a leader in that squad "The Blind Bats".  Not sure if he was the C.O. or you were??? Maybe you could clear that up for me???

In fact, it got to the point that whenever Dredger was on we knew there would be an 30+ plane noe and would be looking for it...they were called "Dredger missions" on country ch when spotted...(we are not the most creative country that way)

Crap...didn't mean to insinuate you're a hypocrite...my bad...I will assume you were screaming bloody murder at your squadmates about how their gameplay was detrimental to overall game play and promptly disbanded your squad or left it...

or maybe it's only detrimental to gameplay when the Bish do it.... :noid

Keep up with the chest thumping posts they rock :rock

<S> Pot from Kettle!!!

P.S.  I am glad the bish are made of better metal...yes we up to defend noe's and missions instead of beggin folks not to run them against us...MAYBE thats why folks don't use them against as much anymore....wierd thought there....

Maybe they're just afraid of a mass collision between the two hordes?  :devil

Now now Bruv, the Few has a ton of base captures and I have rolled with them on many of these on my days off in the a.m....they do NOT include air to air combat but usually involved sneaking a cv within range and shelling a town down and rolling in lvts before the enemy knew it was happening...then a few f4uc's off the deck to finish...so lets not all get on our high horses about using base captures as an opportunity for a fair fight...its a bit off isn't it?????  

The other point to mention is these captures were early a.m. when the arenas are fairly unpopulated...so I'm not convinced that 5-6 folks on one base in the early a.m. is much different then 20 on a base in a densely populated arena....  Or maybe its just milkrunning to keep those pesky bomber/gv ranks high...dunno which...I never cared before...don't now. but it is your squad's idea of FUN even if I think it is a bit silly right???

No disrespect meant to your squad, but since you have a label (hording) for mine, I thought it was just to point out the ironies of your comment and the fact that your squad is viewed as a fiter squad despite 20+ captures...more than my wing anyway...
