Saturday, 8pm eastern, Bishop vox 191, squad night. Door is open for those who'd like to see what we're about. Strategic and tactical formation bombing, gunnery.. every mission and sortie is different. We never know what situation we will run into next, and we never know what the outcome will be. Takes a bit of patience, but the eventual run into action is worth it.

This sounds wonderful.  Please attack Knights  :P

 :aok Will do, sir!  :D

What would be cool is if there is a proficient filmmaker who wouldn't mind devoting some time cobbling together a video of of one of our collective sorties, from several squaddie/opponent/escort perspectives. I've dabbled in video editing in my band in the past, finding that I do not have the patience for it. Some great opposition and escort pilots such as yourself, Shuffler, and Snail-Lusche would really add a lot of flavor to it. Good for all of us and good promotion for the game.

Just a thought as I'm sippin' my coffee before work this morning.  :D

I can donate some time to editing. I would need raw footage emailed to me if you are interested.

Sounds good to me, Jason. Will do on the next squad night. Hopefully we won't have our CO crash into trees on take off  :uhoh  :lol :P or anyone pass out from oxygen deprivation this time and fly off the map.  :D :D

Fun night last night. Special thanks to Zoney and Snail/Lusche. <S>

Look for me in a TA152 this time gents, that 190A8 last time did not work out so well for me, and could ya loosen up that bomber formation a bit so I actually have some where to go after my passes?   MmmmK?   :bolt:

How about one straggler then, you know, just outside the range of the groups guns?     Hehehe, and tell him he's the bait!

Well, Zoney, the reason we climb so high is that after your pass you'll have plenty of space to go... down.  :neener:

I'm still working on my "You have killed Zoney" achievement so I won't be flying center of the pack.  :devil

The 152 is a lot better plane IMHO for that kind of work.  Not the sledgehammer guns of the A8 but nothing to sneeze at.  Plus, a 152 can fly forever if you use a drop tank to get most of the alt.

Oh yeah Zener and I thank you for that.  i had a bunch of time to contemplate my demise in my chute last time as i recall.  What, did everyone get an assist on me?  It was a hail of bullets every    single     pass.

No I think that was just Thndregg's top turret minigun that was dogging your passes.  I think he got the Zoney Achievement without anyone getting an assist.  All I got was a couple meals of cockpit glass followed by a 20mm desert from Snailman while all I could manage was to scratch his paint.  :cry
