Title: Kamikaze flight
Post by: mx22 on June 22, 2000, 10:23:00 AM

Hey guys,

We, 308 guys that is, yesterday had some fun perfoming a kamikaze mission on one of the rook fields. Took of in heavy Zeros, announced our attack on 1 and dive for the hangars, dropping bombs and then battering hangars with out planes (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Results - fhangar closed and no kills given to enemy fighters (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Doesn't quite have the sense of honor and sacrifice in a virtual world....

In fact, kinda cheap.  Unless, of course, you all plan to sit out the rest of the tour.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

It's not fun until you try doing that in a group. Ohh and of course, it's not fun for the guys who climb to 30+k just to get their score higher.

Gee guys, we did it for a fun change of pace from our usual Spitfire sweeps. Thought some of you might get a kick out of it.

But, I guess not.... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

I'm sure it WAS fun for you guys, but I would hate to see it become a "tactic" even in the MA.  Don't see much difference in flying a buff where it can't be touched, and flying a fighter that isn't gonna fight.

You're excused.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Stop being so serious, folks.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)  Of course kamikazi attacks aren't a "legitimate" tactic insofar as taking fields.  I can't imagine where any sane squad would actually think that diving to one's death is somehow better than a good bomb run with the plane remaining to CAP the field for a gooney.

In an evening where I rarely ran into anything less than a 4 or 5 on 1, it was nice to take out some aggression by letting loose some divine wind on A7's bomber hangar.

And my God it was fun.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)  Try it sometime!

WTG MX and banana...I thought that was pretty damn funny myself.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)  I just wish I was there to see it!

For the rest of you, whine whine whine, blah blah blah...if you don't like it, be there and blow up those paper planes before they have a chance to hit!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Sounds kind of neat (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Lame to down someone else's fun...  You always get kind of a neat bit of "tension" whenever you do any organized mission like this.  

Salute to those who did it.  Anything organized is what makes online sims fun!

Geez guys, I remember someone posting about taking 12 C47's and capturing an airfield with overpowering manpower of paratroopers and I don't recall one negative post about that!

Chill!

Er, um, here's a nitpick.  Bonzai is a tiny tree, Banzai is a cheer.

In Warbirds, I have participated in several Kami' raids.  Salvo the bombs right before you impact and Die for the Emperor.  Takes skill and much Saki.

Do not let anyone dissuade you from doing apparently outrageous things in the Arena.  If they do not like it, they always have the option of shooting you down.

Well, I have done both the kamikazee dive and the C47 mass drop.  Yeah, both are a bit out of the "norm", but they are a hoot!  I'd be glad do kill myself again.  IMHO its all part of the game.

Mass para drops are fun. Here's a link to a piccie of one of the ones I did way back in Warbirds with 617 Squadron.

They can be a real hoot, but really only if they're unusual one offs  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
