New F2B nickname

"The Mobile Ack Drag"

eh eh what do you guys think?

Kind of a lame tactic, but hey now you have an excuse for clearing someone 12 o'clock.

how bout "The Untouchable"

which is rather apt, considering if you get a half descent pilot and a half descent gunner in one its more or less untouchable.

Not kind of lame... completely sissified lame.

Well....the tail gun has to make up for the fact it has only 1 forward gun. Used to have a frikkin blast using a gunner with a Kate in Aw, it turned with zekes, and the guy/gunner could get 5-6 kills every time

[horble]

I think I'll call it the 'F2BWind'

Because there's always one parked on the ground in the middle of the furball shooting you, just like the wirble and osti.

The F2B has the "Moron Alert Level" gauge located right under the "Superfly Temp" gauge in the cockpit. The MAL gauge is designed to go off whenever an idiot sits off my six and lets me pelt them with the tail gun.

KI-67 is somewhat similar    But the forward armament stinks.

[Slash27]

It has a rear gun??

[Ruler2]

KI 67 has a twin .50 cal tail mount and a 20mm top mount

f2bwind or mobile ack seems to fit it. it gets annoying trying to look for the thing shooting you, and its on the ground so it doesnt have a tag. theyre fun to fight in the air though

I axtually had an interesting shootout with another F2...  I was working another fight, an F2 tried to drop in behind me...  I managed to barrel and caused him tostart to over shoot....

We ended up flying almost side to side at fairly close range.  Apparently we both had the same idea of jumping into the rear gun spot.  We exchanged bursts that way, kicking rudder one way or the other to get the guns to bear...

He piloted wounded me first, then I must have scored an head shot on him, because he spiraled in....

I thought it was a lot of fun actually.

Gunners can shoot on the ground? I thought that was disabled back in AH1 when we had B17s driving around the map room (then on the field) and shooting the troops.

The F2B has the "Moron Alert Level" gauge...

That's a custom gauge for Skuzzy

Agreed.

Would be nice if the guns didn't fire while not in flight.

There is always one....  (or two, or three or four...)

    Always something to gripe about.  Too funny...
