Title: Random plane challenge
Post by: Pigslilspaz on June 22, 2011, 04:37:16 PM
Going to start doing this now, but keeping track starting in July.

Basically, what it is, go to http://www.random.org/integers/ (http://www.random.org/integers/) and make it create a random list, numbers between 1-116. And for each time you up, you must take the next number from that list and type in .plane [number] and then pick your loadout, and have fun with it!

Rules are, anything with formation available, tanks, and perk rides are optional to skip, and each day you pull up a new list of numbers.

Who's gonna take me up on this for the next tour?

It'll be fun, and a challenge, frustrating at times too, actually the first plane I got was a C.202  :lol

Kinda would be nice if HTC added a "Random aircraft", "Random fighter", "Random bomber", "Random favorite" and "Random vehicle" selections to the lists in the game.

Not sure it would get used enough to be worth coding though.

At the end, post your K/D, most successful plane (Most kills-deaths) and least successful (Least kills-deaths)

Problem is, I leave for Hawaii next Sunday (might have a chance to wreck dive a corsair :x) and get back on the 2nd, lol.


Good luck to anyone interested in this.  :banana:

Oh yeah, forgot that you can skip Goons and B5N's. D3A's SBD's, ect you still have to use, lol.

I was curious to what plane 51 was....great.   This is going to get VERY pricey for me.... :joystick: :lol

I know I can "skip" a perk right, but meh.  Not like I'm using my fighter perks for anything anyways. :aok

Sounds like fun.   :aok
I have a doctor's note exempting me from flying the P-51D or any Spitfire (excepting the Mk I).  They make me nauseous.

Same, but I have medicine for that, fly into the messiest furball you can find and hope you die quickly.

#6 is tough :furious :headscratch:  how much lead do you need on a 300mph airplane when using a .45 :headscratch:

Wait at the spawn, run up and put a round into the pilot's head while the aircraft is still sitting still.  :p

You get cut down by the field guns doing that but, if you're patient, you can hide beside the small building near a hotpad and shoot from there.

Have to use a deacked field.  I know you'd be competing with aircraft trying to vulch, but hey, at least you're not getting shot by the field guns.

Got the yak9u....
Couldnt have asked for a more beautiful bird to fly. It feels about as casual and smooth to fly as anything out there...
Must say I can't seem to landkills with it, assists yes. I'm a littletoo hesitant too get saddled and really brawl up close, which it seems to require....

Fun challenge, I discovered something previously hidden.
Who knows maybe ill get her down soon enough
