Seen a guy on country channel today asking how to bomb. It brought back memories of my days of being a newbie. Im gonna share some of my experiences when I was a newbie.
A freind I flew with in online ATC in Flight Sim 2002 had showed me this game. I downloaded and he helped me with alot of the buttons that he learned in his first week as he was a newbie as well. He would fly the B17 I would gun, and I loved gunning. He would fly to the bigest furball and I would man the guns as red would apear in the sites. When I would be on I would always be on country channel, " Anyone need a gunner" every 2min until someone would say sure mia.
Then one day on country channel I seen, " MISSION UP PLEASE JOIN" I thought oh wow theres missions. I quickly asked how to join a mission and someone helped me get in it. I joined as a kate as it was the only to chose from. Was four of us when mission launched and then my orders came in a yellow text, wich were to kill fuel. I had no idea what was going on, so I asked on country channel what do I do Im new??. The mission planer told me just to follow him so I did. Then I heard him say, "Theres the base Im diving in follow me mia" I was like where I dont see the base then I noticed he was diving so I dove in following him and then I seen the base with all that ack firing. I heard his bombs drop then seen him explode, I thought oh wow Im gonna die were komikozeeing. I droped my bombs and pulled up and seen a message saying Gun enplacement destroyed. I was like hell ya I destroyed the guns or something. I started heading home little beat up. I started talking on range mic to see if any others had made it and no one responed. Now I was in the middle of no where and had no clue where to go. I was lost in emeny territory is what I was thinking. I was cruzing along at 14k pretty beat up monitoring my gauges since I had black smoke coming from my airplane. I noticed my enging temp was climbing so I decided I have to land fast. Then I heard flak. I was like cool I am deap in enemy territory. I seen an ir craft carrier out my right wing. I thought hey I could land there comeing from fs2002 I was pretty confident I could do it. I dove down to 10k and was flying base leg to the cv and all of a sudden all kinds of fire was coming up at me so I turned around and started climbing again. I was thinkin that might not be a friendly cv. I pulled my clipboard up and tryed to find where the hell I was at but I could not find my plane anywhere on all that red or green, so I called out on channel one hey im lost I need some help. Then at 12 oclock I seen 3 enemy F4Us winging together. I thought hey I follow them they probaly going to one of my bases. Crusing along I hear a hear a deep CHECK 6, so I quickly checked my 6 and there was 109 500 off my 6 so I dove,, seeing tracers fly by window doing all kinds of manuvers while diving, I pulled up when seeing ocean coming up fast and hearing a explosion. Then I seen on the chat, HOST: you have killed *******. ( I dont rember the name), and I was like wow he must of hit the water and I started laughing my bellybutton off. Then I called out on range again anyone out there and someone replied laughing, " yes mia I am. Then I asked how to get home from here and he said theres a cv If you go East. I told him thanks I need to land my plane aint gonna last much longer. He asked if I had seen a cv out there I told him ya I was gonna land on it until it started fireing at me. So I headed East swearing I came from this way but wasnt paying attetion to the compass. Then I seen the cv turning and the F4Us blowing up as they were diving into it. I thought " oh great they gonna sink it then where am I gonna land", but lucky me it was still floating. I started my final when I lost my engine, not having alot of alt I was praying, but had to ditch her in the water.
