Yeah, I got in and had a blast. The Scenarios are truly different then the MA and I love it. As Zoney informed me on the Forum the MA is truly just practice compared to these. It truly is a Different Beast, From the moment I signed onto the arena I was greeted by friendly people and was having a blast.
It had taken some time for me to get assigned to a Squad, Sadly I believe most of that wait was me thinking I was at the correct base, which I was but i didn't happen to be in the tower, I was in the Officer Club. So no Blame can be placed on anyone except my self. I was assigned to a nice squad flying with Fudgums and Tupac. There was also another person flying with us, in fact there were plenty more I am sure. However these were the people I winged with for the Majority of the flight.
We had spent plenty of time flying around escorting a Bomb group and chasing down suspected targets only to have one legit Enemy Contact that I personally came into range to attempt a few short bursts on... And Miss
... It was a wonderful Time. I mentioned to Fudgums that It was the best time I ever spent flying in Open Sky and not really getting much action. I am not sure if he had taken that as my being sincere or being a little sarcastic. But I was quite Sincere. Every moment of my time spent in the air had me searching over my shoulder and looking all around for that possible contact. And for someone who is as new to this game as I am. I must admit I got turned around rather easily as to who's craft was who's. Which is fine.
Finally to wrap up the evening for myself, Fudgums and I did decide to take a peek at A4. We noticed a few craft on the field. Most likely refueling. We just underestimated our opposition a tad and engaged.. Eventually Fudgums did give the Order to retreat but by that time I had two craft on my six and he had his own troubles.
It was a 152, I believe that finally got the killing shot on me. (I haven't Reviewed my Recorded Flight yet).. So to the pilot who shot me Down. I give you a <S> for defending that base so well.
So, in conclusion. I would like to thank all the members of the community for Arranging such a event and to all the people who went above and beyond to make a new player feel welcomed. I never heard a single discouraging remark towards my self or to anyone else during the event. Which I applaud.
So, once again. Thank you, And I do believe I will keeping this Subscription going. This is a great community and a great game.
