The Western European vorpal racing snail is a deadly predator.  It can reach a speed of 40 mph in short sprints and has been known, when sufficiently hungry (such as out of McVitie's), to take down black bears.

I heard Snails voice for the first time on coms the other day over A12.  I figured he was using some sort of voicebox with pre-programed phrases.

I don't get the hubbub here.  :old:
Traditionally my performance in the scenarios has been subpar. My grandiose successes in the MA have been a result of...umm...emm... 'clever flying' and carefully selecting my engagements.
In scenarios one has to stay and fight. Which usually means a quick death for me   :ahand

I'll be looking forward to 40 minutes of formation flying  :airplane:, 20 seconds of combat  :joystick: and writing angry forum posts in the remaining time of the session   :furious

I saw Snailman tonight up in his Ki-84.  He was killing everything in sight, owning the place.  People were begging him to leave even one plane for the rest of us, but he was having none of it in his killing frenzy.

Beware, enemies of the Empire!

Welcome to my world.

But your world actually consists of killing fighters left and right  :old:

The things I killed in my Ki-84 yesterday while Brooke was on:

- A set of strat raiding B-17s on the deck. Only one I actually shot down, one was a turning proxy, the other finished off by ack. Had to limp home with a sputtering engine
- One set B-17s and another set of B-25C on two different occasions. Both were obviously flown by new players who never shot at me and flew through town acks at 6k. Only two legit kills, there rest were town ack proxies.
- Two T-34 and two m4(75). Bombed them.
- Finally ONE fighter. A P-39Q.

When fighters actually started to arrive in force, I switched to the Me 262.

"Owning the place" my %&&  :furious
