What more can you say?
I look over every single log entry to determine successful aircraft landings and you have to wonder how this sortie unfolded.
Good job Dantoo.

The F/A-20. It can do everything but read. Didn't George Kennedy say that somewhere? <g>
WTG Dantoo!

Heck I think I can send you film :D (warning: may contain language not suitable for sensitive ears)
Those first two assists are 262s and the two Wmills assists are Ar234s. Not often you can get sprites off six jets in an FSO frame.
I really had to scramble the landing as there were just a few seconds left in the frame. Value for money :)

Dantoo pwns all!!

Good work Dan!, even with Scooner gunning you made it home :P

I was the zooming 190 that cut short your rampage during Frame 1, sir. :lol I missed Frame 2. I guess my bounty will be you, Dantoo for Frame 3. :t
Great work btw. Outstanding A20 work. :aok
-
WTG! :aok
-
Yeah, he did a great job of HO'in and pickin'. He got lucky, big time. Pull the film. Post it here.
How else do you shoot down aircraft that much faster and that much more nimble?
-
we definately need a film of that especialy when he shot down the 262
-
We know at least a couple of 262's were lost to compression and crashed. Kill awarded to closest chasing them. :aok
-
Coupled with the fact that allies were vulching nonstop at every field I passed as I attempted to land a 262 missing a wingtip in frame 1, I flew over 100mi out of the way of the bomber stream and finally found a field not being gang raped by allied planes on-the-deck (even passed 8+ A-20Gs dogfighting a LW fighter inside OUR town ack and taking no damage, literally 100 feet over the town, looping, spiraling, and winning)
Coupled with the fact that as soon as I came in on final approach, the field (which wasn't blinking) suddenly had a P-47 appear 200 yards off my 10 oclock, he warped in from nowhere, came around and killed me on landing.
Coupled with the fact that almost none of the LW fighters I saw in frame 2 could egress, could land, could get away from the giant horde-ball-gangrape of an allied fight without being chased by on-the-deck p51s and vulched on the runway as they landed, (I was actually run through, some retard rammed me in his attempt to vulch me at 400mph through field ack).
Coupled with the fact that allies had NO air presence left alive to stop the endless horde of jabo allies during the GV portion (we were out of planes inside 80 minutes, that's just over an hour folks, the LW had free reign for over another hour), they were able to bomb at will, land, rearm, bomb, land, rearm, bomb, etc.
It's no surprise the scores show allied pilots racking them up. It has been very 1-sided so far.
Don't get me started on the crappy kinda lag concentrating so many GVs and fighters/bombers in the same compact area has brought.
Okay, you got me started!
A P-38 chased my me262 at 18-15k in a nose down dive past 550mph (I had it pegged on the TAS) and was matching me in high-speed scissors with no loss of controls or speed for over 5 minutes straight. I took no damage during my combat in a 262, and when I was clear with only a single p38 2k+ and falling behind (having broken off) with my hands off the stick while typing I lost half a wingtip (after which I tried to RTB for over 100 mi looking for a base not being vulched, without success)
In frame 2 I was in a wirb trying to cover wingmen in tanks, and the lag was so bad I couldn't see P47s diving on us until they were 400 yards in the other direction. I still managed to kill a few as they appeared heading away. B26s warped in magically at 1k, p51s and 47s at 600-800 (or less). Net stat lines were steady as normal, FPS was damned good (upper 50s) but the server couldn't handle all the stuff going on in one area. Changing to close visual distance didn't help a single bit.
It's been a nightmare for the LW in the air, and a royal lag-match in the air and in the GV battles. Certain limitations should have been made, or rules changed, for this setup. I have a few if it's ever dusted off in the future, and used again.
Bitterly yours,
an FSO pilot.

Hehe wtg Stampf! Nice run. That first frame I had a low 234 cross my nose and I just had to chase it (never was going to catch). He led me right over the big gv war and under a swarm of 190s! Boy oh boy what a dummy I was! I tried to fight my way out but ...... :)
Now there's a couple of griefers jumped into this thread. I usually don't respond to them but I guess they haven't been around FSO long enough to learn simple etiquette. They probably haven't yet figured out why all the "old" guys are such good friends, no matter which side we are on week to week?
Either way, they won't be getting many offers of help until their attitude changes, I'm certain.
For the record, here is a picture of the "pickin-ho" of the 262 kill I made. I also hit 2 others of the 4 that attacked our 6 A20s. They were similar shots. Had I personally been given the opportunity to pick or ho any of the 262s attacking us I would have. These particular 262s however managed to ho or ram 3 of my a20 squaddies. Their CIC might judge if it was the best use of that resource, I shan't.
Thanks for the acknowledgements guys but I have a change of ride this week. I'll do my best to make that bounty worth collecting :)

Ain't that the truth.
Salute Dantoo. :aok

Still carrying eggs, too

Lazer guided .50's :lol

Dantoo, how in the world did you get high enough to see blue sky? All I saw was gray goo for three frames, from the deck to 30K.
-
One of the great features of this FSO was the way that cloud increased with time. How did they do that?
It was very early on when the 262s hit us. We were well on our side of the border. At that point there were still a few patches of blue sky about. He just happened to fly past one at that moment of intensity.
If you look at the instruments you can see that we were about 8k at the time.

*sigh*... "simple etiquette" requires you telling the truth as well. I simply called out the luck you had in claiming those kills. ;) Oh, and there isnt a guy in my squad that hasnt been around long enough to be friendly and courteous to all and/or have deeply forged friendships with other "old timers".
We made our intial approach from your A20's 8 O'clock. You're A20's turned head first into us... we had the angle first and you didnt turn until we were well inside 4k (I remember seeing your 8 O'clock at 4.5k and we were 450mph+). A few of us pulled up and went over and a few of us went head long into the massed A20 as they came into us guns blazing. So call us the "HO'ers" all you want, it wasnt us who turned head first into the enemy, we sat up initally on your 8. We extended after the first pass and came back around to your 3-4 O'clock rear... again you and your wingmates turned into us AFTER we were already on course.... the "ram or ho your buddies" you're speaking of was accomplished by you and your wingmates as more than one of us have it recorded that we fired and pulled up or rolled hard. I should post my film audio of the reactions of my squad mates as your guys turned into us... lots of "what the Hell are they doing... oh s*** they're going to HO! Pull up, pull up!!!.
Two of our Me262's did infact crash after losing parts while turning too sharp, one even rolled under to do a split S (to avoid thee "ram/ho") and ripped off a wing. I dont remember hearing anthing about compression... just " *cuss/swear*, I just lost a wing/rudder/engine, I'm going down. See ya at the VH tower".
Ah well... not a big deal, really. Lessons learned, I guess. *shrugs*

You haven't learnt anything then. Nothing.

Arrogance is the second sign of ignorance. ;)

Who cares who Ho or ram. It just a game and Dantoo just had a very luck night. Just like filth had a lucky night vulching the b-26.
-
I didn't have a lucky night.
I have told no lies.
This guy is a grub.
Out.

Nice job Dantoo. :aok

Lol, U complaining that a bomber ho'ed u, Unreal. U have the faster, more manuevable plane at alt. U should be the 1 manuevering for a shot, not A20's/ b26's. They obviously cannot gonna climb as well or fast as u. As Dantoo said, U have alot to learn.
-
262 pwned by an A20 :huh :huh :huh :huh :huh
-
A few of us pulled up and went over and a few of us went head long into the massed A20 as they came into us guns blazing.
Dantoo you loser, you were supposed to turn and give them your 6, not defend yourself!
-

A lot of hard work by the Terrain team members.
:aok
-
All I know is when A-20's with bombs are shooting down 262's, the 262 has made a mistake.
Also, a better than average A-20 pilot is a big factor too.
(no offense 262 pilots, that is just the way I see it)
:aok

Dantoo from now on you will fly straight and level and take your medicine!!! :furious
kudos mate, excellent work. :salute
