And here I just wanted to give Storch pilots something that might be a littel more worth dieing over with recognition for the effort if against all odds they pulled it off. And a rousing great personal adventure between two like minded freinds.

Like all those 10,000 foot cliff and mountain side M3 and jeep races down the slopes never happend over the years when squads got bored with the hoards. Those races during the Ohhh so IMPORTANT prime time fighting were taking place in spite of the need for able bodies in the fray.

Players get bored with the rinse and repeat dog eat dog never ending jerk arse pompasity of this game. Look how many fighter pilot hot sticks are taking out Storches in the face of sure death just to dork around a GV fight and fly a fun puddel jumping ride to taunt the GV's.

Changup and Grizz. If it was coded into the game that picking up a downed flyer with a Storch and sucessfuly returning him to base gave you a HOST:(Attaboy) as a result. Would you guys do it just to get the ch:200 whines from the dog eat doggers while showing everyone your flying skills to evade them? I think alot of players looking for some bordom releif would do it also.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

I already said I would do it regardless...just to watch Assi auger all over himself trying to get the kill, name in lights or not.  Everyone has something in the game that gets their blood pumping...for most its an awesome 1 v 1 in the middle of the chaos that is normally present in the MA, but flyin out to make an attempted pickup of someone in the middle of hoard repelling action or just a giant furball, IN ALL THE WAY.

Truth be told, I'm not sure I would even notice a Storch flying around at treetop...the sky is way too busy when it gets like that.  Make no mistake, the Storch is probably gonna die but the hilarity and fun that ensues before it goes will be riotus.
