Things I do not get, Part XXIV:
« on: December 15, 2012, 03:39:37 PM »
How a bomber pilot flying a set of Lancasters at 25.000 feet to the enemy strats can believe, and publicly state that there is "no way you could know I was there" and he could only be found by the use of 'spiez'. :headscratch:

Well, to quote one of my fictional heroes:

What I find intensely amusing is, people often don't notice that not being on radar in some sectors make it even easier to find you if the base isn't flashing.

As is so often the case, something bad happens and people assume it couldn't possibly be anything other than cheating.

Last time I got called a spy I found a NOE Lanc raid in a jet, I hate to tell them their mindless sheep followers don't stay under dar and when I see a random dar pop up for 5 seconds then disappear out of sector, generally, it's a good sign there's a NOE in bound  :old: (Ended that sortie getting shot down with 1 engine by a high pony with 25 kills O.O )

Last night in FSO, Redbull and Scotch took their B-29's and chased a KI-61 all the way from 20K to about 9K.  Does that count?  It should count because they lost a lot of parts in the dive.   It was not seen as excellent by the other bomber-type-dudes who we were flying with.  They stopped speaking to us.

"Are you idiots diving your B29's after that ki61?!?!"

"Kinda... do we look like bomber pilots to you?"

"Ill tell ya what ya look like..."

One of my secret, dark shames is I was climbing out from an airfield on runway heading once.  I saw a set of buffs headed over the field, and was figuring I'd get them once I'd gotten to alt.  I'm cruising along, chatting to squaddies on vox, on autoclimb not a care in the world...  Then I hear engines.  Then I see tracers as I start to jink.  Then I die horribly to 999000 as he bounces me in a set of B17s.

I don't know if I've ever felt that stupid in my gameplaying career before or since.
