It was a treat to fly with Urchin last evening. Several of us, including Steve, Manx, MiniD, FINNS and others fought for hours at A5.

Yeah, the numbers were still lopsided, and we were frequently out-numbered by a few, but we beat back the waves of fighters, bombers, ground vehicles and PTs without any great difficulty.

Urchin flew a P-38 among others, MiniD was in a P-40E, FINNS in a Hurricane IIC and I had my favorite furballer, the SBD-5.

It was nice to have Urchin with us. I think he enjoyed himself.

My regards,

Totally agree the numbers thing has been off for waaayyy too long.


On a side note: My SA is already gettin a workout, lol :P.


I switched over too this am but didn't fly yet (was at work).  Looking from the tower yeah looks like we got our work cut out for us.

My only reservation about the whole thing is now I am flying on the same side with the guys who have always accused me of cheating.  Well maybe they they will see the truth now :)

Anyway you know what is goign to happen next - the knights will be outnumbered again (like last time we did this - search the history threads) and bishops will be as huge as ever.

I switched to Rooks a couple weeks ago.  Along with the switch, and inspired by Widewing, I've decided to fly on the C.205 for the remainder of this tour and adopt a very strict "fly smart" policy.  So far I am 12 and 2 in the C.205, the 2 coming from violations of the "flying smart" (*1) rule.  Not much for most around here it seems like, but remarkably good for me.


(*1)
- Just because the F6F is smoking and engine out doesn't mean you get to ignore him just yet.
- Didn't realize that the Hurricane IIC was pointed *at* me until I saw the tracers.  Need to make allowances until December when I gift myself with a new video card, the 32mb Radeon isn't cutting in anymore.

Afraid a new video card won't help there unless you mean your resolution was too low to see the Hurricane. Network lag is what causes planes to appear oriented differently from your perspective then that of it's pilot. Been killed many times thinking he didn't have the shot.

When I said that, gofaster, I was referring to the AH community.  And of course, it's my opinion, not necessarily a fact. :)

Mazz,

I would personaly like to extend an invitation for the The Flying Circus to come and fly Rook.    I would love to fly side by side with you guys.    The Cactus Air Force always considers a bit of bond with your guys because Vati was once part of our squad.   During Midway, Shamus was even grouped with the CAF for this very reason.    

I can understand country loyalty and can see why it would be difficult to make a change,  But know you would recieved with a strong welcome if The Flying Circus wanted to give it a try with the rooks.  

Please Forward this invitation to your squad on my behalf

Many in my squad dont want to switch sides, & others do. We all agree that its all or nothing as a squad switch so we will stay Bish.  But I'm glad to see that there will be more 3 front battles on. Ive never been a fan of the co-op play, 2 countries Vs 1 is just as bad as unbalanced numbers. So heres to even numbers & 3 front wars!

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

"J_A_B cant you reconsider, We need another you. "

I ran this suggestion past my girlfriend, but she insists that the world most definately does NOT need another one of me  :)


Shane....if I were to clone myself, wouldn't my clone name itself something stupid, like ooJABoo or something of the sort?
