Gotterdammerum Sucks
« on: January 07, 2011, 10:52:54 PM »
Forcing the use of a ground attack yak9T when there are no ground vehicles really sucks.  Every Axis plane can fly circles around the 9T.  I am extremely dissappointed in the layout of this event at least this first round.

It was a 9T V jet night for the most part. 9T really?

Yea, it was no fun in a La5 fighting a 190D, but kept on pushing to fight.

As a duly appointed axis representative I would like to offer you our condolences and this as a gesture of goodwill:



:D

(seriously though I do feel for the guys in the 9T's)

Once the logs are out and I look them over I will take a look at the Yak-9T and see what happened.

Until then lets keep it civil.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Well the P39's did fair much better. Ended up getting jumped by 262's late in the frame. I really don't like these setups with the jets in them  :old:

I noticed that overall side turn out was light for both sides, was that part of the problem getting overwhelmed during these engagements?

Someone gave you a Jet again Filth?

I still have nightmares from an FSO where Filth had a Jet.......me and my buddies lined up on the runway in buffs, getting ready to rearm, then the blood curdling scream over vox "262"!!!  :O Pieces and parts of planes everywhere, explosions.......oh the horror.  To this day i swear i heard giggling coming from the cockpit of that 262  ;)

The jets and the 190D9s and the 109s that approached our field were completely ineffective.

Looking at the numbers this morning, the Yak-9T did struggle overall. 20 Sorties... 13 Deaths... 4 Kills.

While it may have struggled against the 262/234; 262's only claimed 3 Yak-9Ts while losing one 262 to a Yak-9T.

I'm discussing it with the FSO Team, If any changes are made they will be announced before the objectives go out.

Our Yak9U's got waxed by a bunch of 109G14s and 190D9's....


I think we only had one pilot make it back to the field and then he got a ditch sitting in the middle of the runway...that's his story and hes sticking to it.

I was one of only 3 to survive in the defense of A5 and I landed with an oil hit. I was effectively out.

Looks to me that it was fair and a good match. <shrugs>

I think some squads got into a disadvantage fight while other where fair.  My squad had La5 fighting 109G-14 and 190Ds.  It was lopsided but we still put up a fight.  Do not know much about La's guns, but their muzzle velocity must be weak.

Hey I chased a Yak back to a field shooting him up with my bbs.  Perhaps that was the guy that ditched?  He was smoking and had to have been beat up pretty bad.  This was the second time I've ever participated in a frame of an FSO, the first being when I was still very new.  Had a good time.  Got jumped by three high Yak9Us and had a bear of a time staying alive and out of guns.  Thanks for all the fun!
