LOL sounded fun with those t-34

It was quite fun.  I want to say it was an ammo factory.  We were there long enough to destroy it completely.  Like icepac, a squaddie was kind enough to bring us supplies.  What was odd was nobody even bothered us.  We figured someone would come in and bomb us.  Throughout the years (when I played regularly and before all the strats were grouped together) I have made the long drive to a strat in a tank with friends.  It's really fun when there's very few people online and you can't find a fight anywhere.

:rofl you incompetent boobs! In 2 hours of chitchat no one thought about the ack?!  :rolleyes:

Welcome back Croduh...glad you resubscribed. Now come to Rooks because those Nits are dumber then a bag of hammers.  :rofl

This.   :rofl  What a great mission.  Wish I was around to of participated or helped with the ack towers (they're pretty satisfying targets to me when slamming a 500lber directly into them).

And nice edit Uptown, but at least we've done something else in the last ten-years besides horde or come into furballs at 20k. :ahand

To take a break from usual defending against rook/bishop hordes, brilliant knight masterminds (Rollo) came up with a foolproof plan!

We shall ride pt boats straight into rook strats! No one will see it coming!


The screenshots remind me of the patrol boats going up river in Apocolypse Now.  All you needed was some guy water skiing behind one.

I've done excruciatingly long GV missions on several occasions.  I've gone to strats, to remote bases, etc.

Once back in AHI on the original Pizza map I finished a mission and just as I was getting back to base it was captured.  I continued on to the next base and the same thing happened.  And it happened two or three more times.   After four hours of driving our entire section of the Pizza was captured and I had to ditch.

Also, on the big map with all the islands I took off on a PT mission one day.  I covered at least half the map over about a six hour sortie, rocketing strats (when they were spread out) and getting 3-4 aircraft kills along the way before finally rendezvousing with a CV to land successfully.

I like those types of missions but I rarely have that much time available anymore.

That is mission dedication.

Actually it's still that way as long as you don't run into something that will stop you.  Just point and go.

Great Idea, a PT boat raid. I was just thinking someone should make a map with rivers and PT boat spawns so we can use the PT boats for more than just chasing down a CV (admittedly this was shortly after watching Apocalypse Now). Glad to see some one made use of those rivers.  :banana: :aok
