Who ? ... LTAR

Where ? ... Knights

These guys are experts on the ground when it comes to base defense. When these guys decide to defend a base and come pouring out of the GV hanger, they dig in like ticks and fight like badgers. Always glad to see LTAR around when the "horde" comes rolling in.

LTARs are the best reason to bring eggs to a fight since the invention of eggs.

I don't care what a squad does as long as they don't take themselves too seriously, have a good attitude, and have fun. LTARs by this definition are a good squad on the whole.

I couldn't stand sitting in GVs myself, but from time to time I'll resupply them with M3s because I chuckle when I see the channel 1 whines when they pop someone.

LTAR's catch a lot of flack( hehe sorry)  for being a GV squad.
Since the game is what we make of it, I cringe at the hypocrisy of those that make fun of them.

some of them are smack talking dweebs.... Oh my.. now there is some hypocrisy!

Footnote: Sorry, it seemed kinda funny to me.

Hats off to the LTARs, they've found a niche in the game that appeals to them and they're good at it.  Like someone mentioned, it's funny to hear the whines about them over open channel.  No fear of being vulched when they're on duty.

I only get anoyed with them when they target my at abt 4k away in their flacks!!lol I really admire these guys although they can make me cringe when I see them comeing... Cringe only because I know I'll probably die trying to kill their M3 which is about to take my base.

I watched them work together one day like a finely tuned Swiss Watch to take this base I was at. Before that day I never knew what they were about and how good they really were in those god forsaken GVs. But after that day my mind was made up and I had much respect for the way they had taken that base away with ease.

To anyone who has their doubts on the effectivness of base taking with GV's, or deffence for that matter, I strongly sugest you watch these guys in action. Its really a cool sight to see them work together and help one another out the way they do.

My hat is off to you fellas.<>

Easier said than done ... you may get 1 of them, but you will eventually pay the price if you stick around too long or hang-it out there.

Like Morph said ... these guys will pick you off a distances that others would not even consider taking a shot.

Example: I was flying defensive CAP at a base with the LTAR's on the ground. Zoomed down on a guy that was at least 1.5 to 2K over the base ... just about ready to pull the trigger and I see a stream of flack come off the ground and POOF !!! ... no more bandit. Looked down and there was LTAROwl ... who has to be the badest sum'beech in a Flak Panzer, in all of AH.

The LTAR's are a cool bunch...to fight with or fight against.

I'm still chuckling over the kill one of them got on me.  I was a proud M8, disabled the track on one's Panzer.  Sadly it spun him sideways, directly into me.  As I'm cramming to shove the thing in reverse, I see the turrent coming down....aiming, loading...and poof...I'm LePaul Debris  :rofl

A Squaddie, RAK (used to be RAK49), used to run the 52nd Armoured Cav and we (the 52nd Kiwi) used to run air strikes in conjunction with them. It was superb.

The LTARs are a hoot, especially Moil, who is a supernaturally good shot in an Ostie. They are good guys and always respond to a .

They must have alot of free time too! Driving in the main isn't always easy I noticed :eek:

Keep on the good work :aok

Only GV gunner that can hit me is GTR, I'm sure she kept a kill ration over anyone, plugged planes at 3k.

I salute you ALL, friend and foe for the wonderful comments about GV's, there impact on the game and of the LTAR squadron
For those that don't know LTAR stands for "Lead To Air Ratio"
This game is what we {the arena} make it, we enjoy what we do, we believe we are good at it {debatable i'm sure} and our squad is very tight and effective {most of the time :}
Please do not get me wrong, as I write how effective we are there is just as mnay {actually more} very skilled pilots in the game that keep us on our toes with their precision bombing.  
I would also like to advise everyone that we {LTAR} are not the only skilled GV squad in the arena. The 1st SS Panzer Divsion has dealt us a couple {actually a few} harsh blows on the battlefield, LTAR has much respect for the 1st SS Panzers
P.S. SCDR, Gustav & riverat are extremely good {almost too good} and must be dealt with very carefully I might ad.

to you all

 I seem to run into you the most!  Either when you are in an La7 or GV.  We always seem to trade a lot of fire.

...you should have checked out our "Battle of the Bulge" mini-event in the AH2 beta arena.  You missed a great time.  Here's the link to the after-action report.

sights? we don't need no stinking sights! Actually some of us don't use the sights, just hit the page up key and follow the tracers instead of using the sight. It will take some getting used to but works great for some of us!
