Where were you when 6 to 8 of us closed 9, 10 and p14 and captured them in about 2 hours?
Where were you when we shut down a11 and a15?
where were you when our CV was engaged with their CV in a hit and run slugfest (just off shore at 10) that lasted 45 min?
I admitt that Rooks are not always the most organized, but when we are we do quite well.
Like I said, I logged off when I became fed up with uncoordinated clusterf*ck that developed at 10 finally broke down, and prospects at 9 were no more promising. I refuse to get aggravated, so I log off.
I was there when the two fleets clashed. I asked several times via the message buffer that the person commanding the fleet turn it around and drive it right through the Bish fleet. You can't win a fight with one's back to the enemy. Fortunately, that is exactly what the fleet commander did. The net result was that the Bish fleet was completely destroyed with minimal loss to ours. After my Seafire was gangbanged over 10, I manned a 5" dual mount on the CV and blasted the enemy CV, contributing to its destruction. I then sunk 3 destroyers, and shot down 4 Bish aircraft. That does not include the three I got in my Seafire. So, I was doing more than my share, thank you very much.
If I'm in the fight you can count on two things: I will protect my teammates at all cost, and I will kill a truckload of the enemy. Ask anyone who was at 24 and 25 last evening how I contribute to the effort. No one within visual range gets bounced without getting a warning from me, even if I can't intercept the attacker. More often than not, I get the con, either on the way in or just after. Last night we had raid after raid come in from 29. I met every one of them and there were few survivors after my teammates and I slammed into them. I personally killed four bombers, ten fighters and picked up nine assists, in exchange for one, out of ammo, SpitV.
If there's one thing my fellow Rooks can absolutely bank on, it's this: I will never abandon a teammate. I will never ignore pleas for help. I will do everything possible to help them. All I ask in return is that my teammates watch my tail in return.
I cannot over-praise the guys who flew at 25 last night. Fester, Mathman, Cali, Kat, HtHide and Zulu9244, just to name a few. We were usually outnumbered 2 to 1 or worse. Yet, we beat off the Knits time after time, inflicting huge losses, suffering far fewer in return. It was a pleasure to fly with those guys. I covered them, and they covered me. It doesn't get any better than this.
My regards,
Widewing
