VF-17 Jolly Rogers Recruiting

[Arlo]

How bout something that looks like kills? After all, that's where it would go on the hog nose.

[Arlo]

Another variant. "Killgirl was here."

I like the last one here Arlo. It might be down to this one and just a plain old JR flag for the nose art.

[Arlo]

Your call, skipper. I tend to go a lil overboard when it comes to trying to be "authentic".

 I will say this much (and I'm not still campaigning here):

 I was tickled to death to see that HT and Pyro and co. chose to portray the F4U-1 in a Jolly Roger scheme. They could have just as easily picked a "Black Sheep" one since there are probably more BS fans than JR ones. How many squads can claim a custom skin incorporated into the game by it's developers? And the skin looks fantastic! To me, it's the prettiest of the F4Us, hands down.

[Reschke]

I think that does it Arlo. It's going to be the JR flag. My son has a version that has crossed swords and one that has crossed bones. I will put both up to a squadron vote by email later this week.

This way someone else can use "Killgirl" for the name of their plane and their personalized nose art for the roster pages.

This Friday Were are Very Happy ! to bring to you the New and Improved Slot Map 10Bears headed up an elite map making team of deadicated CM Terain experts in the colabrative effort to compleatly rework the old Slot map. Ramzey and Dux both Worked long and hard to make a ton of New Skins all represent ing planes that Were In theater at the time the epic strugle for Guadalcanal was taking place.

 New Features include:

 Shore Batrires!

 Manable AA guns

 Custom Airfields that LOOK like Jungle airstrips

 New TF configurations and A Zuikaku CV skin the way she realy looked.

 More Bases

 More and much Better GV spawns.

 New Clipboard map by Dux

 NC 17 rating

 Custon skins for:

 A6M2, Kate, Val, Tabby, Ki 67, JU 88, F4F-4 ,TBM, SBD, Boston III, P40E, F4U-1a (the later 3: Austrailian, and New Zeland Collors respectivaly), Buildings and SB reskined, All GV's Junglified, pluss more...

 Now this was not just done for the CT, all this hard loving was done for a wounderfull new Event being put on by the CM's Operation Watchtower, Please see the link bellow:


 http://mywebpages.comcast.net/mikebowman/Guad/Guad-web.htm



 The set up in the CT will feature the following plane set:

 Allied:

 F4F-4
 SBD
 TBM
 Boston III
 P40E
 F4U-1a
 The M's and Both LVT's
 Tabby


 Japanese:
 A6M2
 Kate
 Val
 Ki 67
 Ki 61
 JU 88
 Tabby
 The M's and Both LVT's
 

    Now the F4U-1a will be based at only 1 or two rear fields do to it's uberness, to counter this the Japanese will get the Tony at fields boarding these if they take them, like wise the Tony will be available at the rear Japanese bases(one or two). The reasion for this is that I want to inlude these planes but not have them domnate the set up, their fore we can all spend most of our time reliving the battles from Aug to Dec 42 ( and a little later) with the Wildcat and the Zero over the slot as the primary fighters.
  The JU 88 is included only at three bases A15 A11 and A9 the reasion for this is that it is being used in the Event and the CM's wanted to do some testing of it, it's vulnerabality offset's it's A hsitorical bombload so that coupled with it being limited should not cause a balance issue.
   LVT's will be enabled on the DD and CA fleats Not the CV fleats.

 
 Areana setings will be:


 CT Norms except: (ack .7 is normal CT seting)

 Fuel Burn 1.8
 
 Down time's:

   Hangers 15min
   Ack 30min
   Field objects 30min
   Fleat respawn 10min
   


  New Zero Skin By Ramzey:

 Hehe ... see you at Ondongo! (Or Bougainville)
