Multiple spawning LVT's on Land and armies of 100's troops heading to the map room mowed down by machine gun fire. Proper ww1 style.   

It was funny  :D

Brilliant thread Icepac  :aok

It does sound horrible but it was a laugh  :devil

Why did this change
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

You can't lure up ME163s because they rarely come up to take on a fighter which they know because of the icon.

The only thing I can say I truly miss is rolling from an airfield and being inside a 100 plane furball within 5 minutes, those days were something else. I still to this day am in awe of Hitech's smoothing code to make that even possible
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

Treetop level, flat scissors, flaps full out.

It still happens, now and again, but it's pretty rare.  I've always thought that the best fight is the one that ends with no one having fired his/her guns.

I've got just the opponent for you then, me! Your allies, the trees, will take me out long before you or I can fire guns in a scissor fight on the deck.
