Last night in the MA after most of our squad logged off my brother (Thndregg) and I were looking for some way to help out the bish but being out numbered as we were the fighter thing just wasn't working well.
So we started looking for something to bomb and what did we see but our base 161 being relentlessly hammered by fighters from 162. We decided then and there that 161 needed a 15 minuit time out.
We quikly put on our flight gear and did all preflight checks and we were off with 2 flights of B26's out of 222. Maintaining our altitude at 5K (this is the best operational alt as far as speed go's for B26's, for those of you who don't know) we made our way past rook held 191.
We were a little concerned about being spotted by a fighter coming out of there to attack 175 but all went well untill we got over 175 and there was a spit over the base. The spit turned from what he was doing and came in right after us and I swiftly chopped off half of his wing. He then turned and tryed to limp home but I got the kill message a couple minuits later.
A little later and it was time. We opened bomb bay doors and calibrated. We could see the base and noticed that we were comeing in the back door just as 2 or 3 Hurricanes and a P38 were leaving out the front to continue hammering 161. Thundr dropped a second befor I did, we closed our doors and made a hard left just as we got twin messages (Fighter Hanger Destroyed... Fighter Hanger Destroyed).
Turning back S W and twards safer territory we were feeling good about a job well done, but wait what was this, we had been spotted!!!
The hurricanes, a P47 and a 110 were on to us. We tightened up the formation, jumped into our tail guns and waited for the NMY fighters to enter range of our guns. First was a Hurri and I gave him a good peppering, he turned away decideing that he had had enough. Next came the other hurri and the 110 Thunder made short work of the hurri, I got the assist. Then we started watching the 110 on our low 6 and then pop pop pop BOOM my right hand drone was gone God bless the crew of that plane they were some of the best computer generated guys I had the pleasur of knowing..
The P47 had gotten the drop on me while we were keeping track of the 110 low he had climbed up to my high 4 or 5 oclock. Thunder and I engaged the 47 and had him down, again I get the assist. :) The last plane was the 110 but I really don't think he had any Idea what he was doing because he was low under us and kept flopping around down there for some time untill he popped up to close and we both got good hits on him but again I got the assist.
And what is the point of this storie that I have taken the time to put into this wall of text you might ask???
Tward the end of the fight Jaxxo Opens up on CH200 with I belive it was something like and I quote...
"Thanx for killing the hangers at the only good furball on the map you fun natzi no skill bomber dorks"
I was a little buzzed at the time and for the next hour or so I kept uncontrollably chuckleing from time to time at this statement. Thank You Jaxxo for the compliment and for adding a little humor into my life <>
On a side note we found that run to be so fun we upped 2 flights of KI-67's and did the same thing again but at 20K this time. :D
P.S. sorry for any spelling errors, I went to the HiTech school of spelling. :)

lol...Geez, what a bunch of whining little virtual tits. He was trying to help keep one of his team bases from getting captured!
It never seems to amaze me at how many people think that if everyone doesn't feel the way they do, or agree with them, then the other guy must be stupid or wrong. :confused:
Just because the BK's have interest in only ONE aspect of the game (furballing) doesnt mean that noone else likes to do the whole spectrum that AH offers.
I like furballing too, but it's not the ONLY thing I know how to do in this game.
WTG Flayed!!!! I realy enjoyed reading your story:aok

Raptor's right.
Furballs belong on furball island. Everywhere else is fair game for fighters, tanks, boats and bombers.

Nice AAR.
Flayed, if people were really not wanting you to kill the hangars, they would have upped and shot you down. So you have to figure they are just poking you a bit.
Or they really need to work on that SA thing I hear so much about. :D

Flayed, seems like that was a really fun buff run :)
Just your particular target of choice was bound to get on some people's nerves is all :D
Maybe next time you might consider hitting something else on/near the base and then just orbit around the field if you're concerned about it launching fighters... It seems like the two of you did a fine job of keeping them occupied with your guns alone :)

Not being there I dont know what really happended. Based on the past many months of bishopss being outnumbered, what might be called a furball by someone might be called a vulch fest by another.
Next time, If im online, invite me along...sounds like it was fun.

Dingdingdingdingding!!!! There are no "furballs" that I've seen. There is one hord steamrolling 1 base, and 1 sector away the other team does the same to the first team's base. If people truly wanted furballs they'd actively defend fields RIGHT NEXT TO THEM that are being milked.
So I have no problems with people dropping FHs. Just don't call it a furball if it's one-sided.

You guys are a trip. Half the fun of trying to bomb a field is making your way through the fight.
Regardless of any of that. The man wrote a good AAR. It was a fun read. Tell me what lambasting another player is going to accomplish?

It's really is a shame. We (HTC) would really like to see more AAR's posted, but I can see why people shy away from it now.
