Title: Bout that time again, eh chaps?
Post by: tunnelrat on January 15, 2013, 08:40:37 AM
First person to land 13 kills in one sortie (Rearms are fine) in an Me-410 gets their February subscription paid!

This must be done this tour, and you must post a screenshot.  Screenshot must include you saying "BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE" on 200 after you land.

Get er did.

You might have too much in your pocket...

13 in a 410 is easy in the right situation.

Hahaha that's why I picked it... a lot of work was put into making it, and it doesn't see as much play as it should for the devastating boom boom up front.

I'd be lucky to land 3 in it.  I figure if someone can beat that by 10, they deserve a reward!

Join horde, vulch a field... not so hard. A hordeling kill is just not cut from the same material as 1 vs 1 or 3 vs 1 kills. Especially when you're lucky enough to get a noob that ups over and over again despite being vulched from the 1st second.

This man will deliver on his challenge.  I only regret not rewarding his generosity with more flying time in general and "winging up" time with him when he issued me my challenge.

A kill is a kill... you land with 13 in the buffer and "BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE" on 200... post screenshot first, you wins....

:airplane: Don't mean to be disrespectfully towards anybody in this game, but your requirement of landing and rearming cuts the field of prospects for your reward to just a handful of pilots in here! Don't mean to laugh at anyone trying to learn to play this great game, but it is a "hoot" to grab a jeep somewhere there is a lot action and watch players trying to land! First, you have the guy who doesn't understand you only have just so much runway to land in and he runs off the other end from touchdown and winds up on his back, trying to stop to fast. Second, you have the, "I guess", the ex-NBA player who thinks you have to "dribble" the 410 down the runway, prior to stopping! Then you have the guy who gives up on landing on the runway and decides that he can put it in the hangar on the fly! Last, but least, are the guys, who say, "aw, heck with it" and just bails out over the runway and is to low, chute doesn't have time to open and poof, he is history for that sortie.
First thing that every player who starts to play this game, is to take what ever aircraft he wants to fly and go to altitude and learn to control it with gear and flaps all down at 100MPH IAS, then follow that with controlled descents of 400 feet per min, then attempt landings! To hold a constant heading and constant altitude, at 100MPH IAS, with full flaps down and gear down, is a great training aid, and would be goooood training for anybody!

his money, his rules.  unless you want a contest over who can take off and land and even then you need to take into account those who land wheels down or just barely missed the runway.

:airplane: Good point! I am always amazed at how many people in here, land gear up, as a normal landing for them!

On a vulched field that's the fastest way to land.

I'll belly in if the vulchers are in sight so I can stop asap, but the dribbling down the runway simply comes from enjoying landing so much I want to do it 2 or 3 times every time I come down. ;)

I land gear up because it's fun to destroy things. In a video game that counts one wheel off the concrete as a "ditch", I am not too concerned with making a "proper" landing unless I am going to use my plane again.

same here...I never land wheels down....( I have, just don't do it on a typical sortie)...its much faster to just come to a quick stop....hit end flight and reroll....

I always wondered why people cared how others land, but was clued in...they want all to land wheels down so it is easier to vulch em. :rofl

I doubt that is Earl's reasoning.



This plane is garbage. The single seater would have been nice.

No I mean, we should have the single seat 410. It would have better performance and people might actually use it.

Ohhhhh... it'd certainly be nice as an option.
