Just had to share this AH story with you guys
« on: August 17, 2003, 10:17:38 PM »
ok well there i was, i just downloaded the Barbados map from an H2H arena and i figured id go fly a bomber mission on my own(offline)-- ok so there i was, i took a lancaster, set the time to 5:30 (dark) and started going down the runway at full speed. so i pull up and head out over the water, gaining alt... so i turn and head towards the base, open my doors, and BAM a big black flak hit shot out my engine and i wobble the plane a little, scattering the bombs... so so i get wrecked above the base, i got both drones shot down, i watched them slowley drift down and explode right into a big black cloud.. so i kept going, i checked my damage and i had engine 1 and 2 oil and engine 3 was shot out... so i gained alt and hoped i could make it back.  So about 5 minutes after the drop, the sun starts to come up and it gets a little lighter so i could see where the runway was, and engine 2 dies... i tried shutting it down and restarting them but no luck, and with that engine 1 died.. so im flying on one engine in a lancaster in the middle of the night 20 miles from the nearest runway... and all the fuel is shot out, so i start to drift down knowing that the 1 engine wont hold me up, just as I start to drift down and loose hope, i see the faint hangers in the distance.. oh man what a good site to see, and i drift down towards the runway, pull my gear down and one wheel wont come down, so i bring them back up and put them down again hoping it will work, now the other gear is stuck down and wont get pulled back up... so i land on one wheel and gently place my wing on the ground, spin out of control and sit there.. and watch engine 4 die off from fuel.. i sat there and couldnt believe how great that was :) the best part, i got it all on video ;)

The lesson is:

Don't bomb at 1k. ;)

Tomorrow's lesson:

Punctuation 101: Making what you say readable.

WOW Mat you have that much fun offline wait until you get online. Online you have guys that game the game but It can really fun for you if your life is your priority. Ive had many good bomber runs. Its fun going to a base and setting a target, then trying to make it back home. My favorite is to go into deep enemy territory and bomb the strat targets, Fuel,ammo,city,troop facilites and then trying to get home. If you have alot of alt they can be quite fun.

Come online and fly for Rooks.  The Rook Air Force is always looking for some good multi-engine pilots who aren't afraid to go in low in the dark.

LOL dont go Bish what ever you do they dont need any more players. Rooks or Knights need some guys. That or if your into bombing you could get involved with a bombing squad. Love flying and then seeing 12-15 bomber formations above me, Its a pretty sight
