A close call for some Lanc's.

[ReVo]

I understand if some of the JG11 guys are unhappy with what happened during the frame, and if you wanted to discuss it in private then I would say that's your right. But there is no reason to spend a week bashing JG54 in a public forum over something as small as this, especially considering you guys have certainly screwed up before and left people high and dry while you chased fighters. It is even less acceptable to tell people to shoot themselves over internet airplanes no matter how upset you may be.

at this point, thanks to those who would rather name names, then send a private message, there may not be enough guys left for jg54 to fly. <S> good job guys, i hope you're proud of yourselves.  lets hope you do the same to the next guy that makes a mistake!

personally no matter how bad it was, i would not have named any group or person. its a shame that favor isn't/wasn't returned.

You know I intended to make this thread to highlight the discipline of everyone, the Allied escort, the Lancaster's that could of tore the 190 formation up and my comrades who avoided fighting for as long a possible. Hindsight is always 20/20, everything doesn't always go to plan.

 Just look at my intentions for this thread and the result.

I wouldn't worry about it to that extent. A video game isn't that important and if anyone thinks it is, it's time to take some time off. If your group enjoys flying FSO then why stop?

Anyone who truly feel their personal strife for glory is worth more than the mission at hand and fellow 'pilot' next to you have a questionable future in FSO. Big egos typically find their fights (both verbal and virtual) in the MA, and that's where they should stay.

If you are not a team player you will have difficulty to play and perform well in FSOs and if you are unable to adapt to being a team player you just won't last. Some certain groups and individual players are really standing out as shining examples of how not to do things around FSOs. None mentioned none forgotten, I believe the FSO community know who they are.

FSO is a friday night trip, but it's not a EGO trip it's a TEAM trip. Nothing beats landing back at base having seen action and landing all crates safely. Those of you who've done it know it, that I'm sure of.

I thought this was about some guys with some itchy trigger fingers who dropped the ball a little? JG 54 is an a bunch of ego driven mouths who belong in the MA?

No one said JG54.

The 54th has come a very long way over the past couple years in FSO.  Dedicated, and easy to work with.  A good bunch to have on your side in a tussle.  Try em out.

...Not so much like watching paint dry afterall...

<S>

I meant that when I posted it.  Most likely I would never entered this thread if Fish didn't start with the cute remark.  When I have several guys who have their night ended at 11:25 because what I see as blatant disregard for the event, and they are screaming mad about it...it's my place as their CO to defuse this and voice my feelings.

I can be rough around the edges.  I call it as I see it.  You can call me names too if I deserve it.  I won't quit.

Moving on to Frame 2 now.

No one said JG54.

Then who?

[Stampf]

Then who?

The first word in his post - 'Anyone'.

why wasn't a possible close encounter seen ahead of time, and a course change ordered? THAT would've been the right thing to do! from what i hear that was never ordered. might want to add that to the "what not to do!" List.

Fuel constraints. In a 190F8 with a centerline bomb you can't carry a DT. If you do you lose 500kg of bombs, you can only carry 200 on the wings and that considerably slows the plane down.

 I have asked my comrades to stay out of this post if possible. Please do the same for your comrades Jeager.

[captain1ma]

really? a 2 minute course change would've made that much difference on fuel? i get fuel constraints, i just find that hard to believe. I'm not looking to get into it with anyone, just wondering why someone would not make a short course change rather then jeopardize an entire mission. its great that one squad is trained to stay put, but everyone is different.

lead to the lowest common denominator not the highest. this way everyone can have fun! then again, it is a game......right?
