Title: Not fair...
Post by: Clone155 on November 06, 2009, 02:40:16 PM
I landed on this thing fair and square! I should of at least gotten a land, but no, I get a ditch!  :mad:

Oh, and also, The ship eats my landing gear just like I am hitting water, making me lose my prop.

Can anyone beat that ?

Na, it just stays like that for a little bit when I alt tab out to play some music. All the ships in the fleet do it, even the bases, but I can't believe I didn't get a "you have landed" message!

Before we had the option to save films and name them while in game, I didn't go back and label all my films.  So, instead of going through the 300 odd films that are not labeled, I concede lol

Haha, that's pretty cool.  HiTech should change it so that counts as a land, just for the shear challenge and reward of doing it.   Whaddya say HiTech?   :aok

Landed on the quarterdeck of the cv, with a squaddie above me on the flight deck - unfortunately, film viewer shows me off to the side, with the cv to my left.

Made me giggle lots as I was rearming with no wings left.....

I have tried many times to land a 4 engine bomber on the cruiser, and I claim it impossible. Each time the stupid back 8" throws me off the ship.

I remember during one of the scenarios (Coral Sea 2004? Fire Over Malta? I think the latter) I laded on the back of a cruiser after we'd failed to defend the CV. Was really depressed about ditching.

I landed a P-51B on the carrier elevator steaming into a 30 mph wind.......

You can turn the wind up higher and actually fly inside the hanger....upside down.

Landing lanc on carrier is easy, taking off again, not very likely IMO.

 It is kind of hard to see, but are your gear down and prop still in tact? How did you manage to do that?

Vewy Vewy carefuwy. ;)

No damage. Did it by sliding sideways to avoid the crane, it required EXACT maneuvering, which is why it took so long. :)

You can fly straight through the crane, it is just a picture. How did you manage to land like that though? Like I said, it was like hitting water, and the ship eats my gear.

Post by: Mar on November 07, 2009, 08:22:06 PM
It was an older version then. The crane always took my wing off, and the deck was always solid.
