Strafing chart room before troop deployment ?
« on: June 20, 2013, 11:12:02 AM »
Strafing the chart room before troop deployment is some times called for on the vox.  What is the reason for the strafing?  I did a google on this one and came up empty.

Sometimes a bailed pilot is hiding inside it, shooting the troops with his .45 as they enter.

love how you googled it.

Strafing the map room is meant to clear the map room of anyone you might have ditched their plane to kill the troops.

Probably because it's merely an in-game tactic and not an historical one.

Ok... I'll pass along some google-fu for Mr. Zach just in case he doesn't know.

Go to Google, type in "Site: bbs.hitechcreations.com <insert query here>" and violin!  Google search for AH stuff turns from funny to awesome!

:rofl I used to love doing that. I haven't tried it since the town maprooms are different now. Can that still be done? I'll have to do a covert op tonight and find out.  :devil

And if you hide under the table you are strafe-proof. Honest.
