Title: Green Hell Frame 1 pics
Post by: Krusty on June 07, 2008, 12:38:45 AM
Just a few pics. These were taken in-game (I haven't reviewed film yet) and I put them up just for a squaddie that missed 'em. Figure I'll put them in here as well!


Here we see our fearless leader (TM) taking us up to the stratosphere (or near 'nuff as the 39D can go) on our way to find and destroy the enemy! (sized down)

Upon landing to hotpad, another squadron of P-39Ds had set up in formation at the end of the runway I approached to land. As I was landing and rolling to the opposite end (where our boys were) they rolled, giving the perfect screenshot opportunity!

And when I got to the end, we all took on some more 20mm ammo (oh, and that "fuel" stuff, it might be important), and I think crow is done early waiting for us to join him at the end.

Here is a surprise luck shot of the decade!  Two Zekes with one burst.  I was diving in to clear a squad mate and took the shot just as the 2nd Zeke passed in front of my guns.  Both planes immediately burst into flames.

Now if they'll fix the TABLE part of the scores page I'll be happy.

I'm just getting an error when I try to pull the scores.

P.S. Ratt I much prefer your unedited ones to the photoshopped ones.

The summary page is working, so I've got a general idea of my squad's performance and kill totals for myself and one other squaddie, but that's it.

That's why my thermos is always filled with booze. No confusion.

Nics pics guys!

But... er... isn't booze flamable? If a bullet hits that, red on your windows is the least of your problems!



I mean other than trying to say "But... why is the RUM gone?!" in a Jack Sparrow accent.

Lining up for a short burst... the sky around us fills with debris and flaming wrecks.

That's for the ventilated canopy. Burn!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was feeling like Death Incarnate- pinged by at least a few zekes and a b5n, just an assortment of holes and no damage. 3 kills, 4 assists, and we'd wiped half of the IJN out in the first 30 minutes. Hell, I still had gas in DTs when I went in to rearm.... and I exploded on the deck at 79mph. I was extremely thrilled with this outcome. It took longer to get a dozen screenshots than it did to fly the frame!  :furious
