Saw a lot of Chutes today, if not bailing is still in the rules maybe we should remind some people.
-
Rules Always Stated if you bail you need to end Flight and not sit around to help out your team members
-
You can ride your chute down to the deck. You risk getting "killed" but that is not an issue.
If you are a pilot running around on the ground, you should tower out.
You can't be in a position to draw ack or sneak up on reloading planes on a deacked field to execute pilots.
The best thing to do is tower out in the air. But as soon as your feet hit the ground, you should tower out.

Did you see any chutes last night?
-
Mine!!! LOL But I was in a Ju87 and had a long fight to die where I did.
I applaud Branch37 for keeping me alive as long as he did being out of taters and getting jumped by 2 turning into 5.
Overall, I applaud Axis side for implementing the plan down to the details.
Well done!!!!

There is a bonus for pilot survival. Not dying or being captured is worth pts to your side. It will be a feature of all of my setups from now on.

I killed that spit about 6 seconds after he got you lol.
Then 2 of his friends chased me out over the channel and had a white knuckle, drawn out dogfight on the water. I'm not sure why, but the spit broke off and headed home, but the hurricane stayed in and eventually took off my wing.

My question is why was Branch saving you when he was supposed to be saving his XO. You know how hard it is to stay behind a hurri 1 with a 1k bomb strapped to your Stuka :joystick: :x

Hahaha! I remember your fight. You were close enough for me to take a swipe or two. I still had my bombs strapped too. Thinking I should have tossed them and gone directly to fight mode...
That was a hell of an engagement we ran into trying to go feet dry. Every time we thought we could get a Ju87 out another was jumped. We managed 2 to escape and get to target.
Besides... ...everybody knows that you are supposed to "save the slippy". It is sort of my "thing"..
<<S>>

I killed a chute. In the MA i refrain from such actions, but after what happened 3 FSO's I show them no mercy

You were already dead. :devil

I saw you fly past me :eek:, well at that point I was still behind him though. Probably got the usual "rat will be fine" thought ran through your head, or maybe it was the "rat will be a good distraction" thought :headscratch:. either way I got to bed early for work :D
:salute

was coming in too fast, came over the top to bleed off some E, took a shot, pinged him pretty good, by now hes behind you, came over the top again, you went poof. :neener:
-
Hey BigRat,
I saw the whole thing :O and think your "rat will be a good distraction" theory is correct. VF-17 is a good crew :salute, but maybe you should come fly with 1841 FAA ;) where you will be respected :old: and your talents used to their upmost :joystick:.
:cheers:

I think I'm trying to be recruited :D, Let the bribe war begin :rock . Oh yea I'm not going for that "I'll give you a cookie", trick like last time :mad:
:salute
BigRat

Royal Navy. Borrowed Corsairs. Yuck! :neener: :neener:
-
BigRat;
We don't have any cookies but I can promise you there are plenty of biscuits – more than you can eat or want to eat.
Okay, 1841 FAA is not as well funded and supplied as VF-17. And, yes, our Corsairs are borrowed and well used – "experienced" as we like to say in the FAA – but one significant difference in the Corsairs we use and those of VF-17 is ours actually fly from carriers. So there won't be any of that "flare to land; squat to pee" here – if you get to land at all. (No offence to any ladies in VF-17.) :)
Another thing I can promise you besides biscuits is that you will be outnumbered in every engagement. Even 5 or 6 Ju 87 loaded with a big old bomb are considered a threat to be taken seriously. There is no slack time or safety in numbers in 1841. Sometimes you feel like you're winning if you get two more turns in before being sent to the tower :rolleyes:. You will feel like you have been through something when you actually get to land and tower-out occasionally. Then there are those really rare moments where you feel like you have accomplished something when you get "1841 FAA" on the Squadron Kill Board when you only have two shooters :pray. Can't experience those things in a bigger squad.
We could use you BigRat! Give us a consideration even if you are just trying to negotiate a better contract or bigger hut on the beach with VF-17.
Big :salute to VF-17!
:cheers:

Hey MachNix, "bigger squadron"?? These days we're doing well to field 7-8 flyers. And everything you described sounds like you been flying with us. Why don't you join us, instead?
-
Personally, if I was BigRat I'd be questioning this whole "Corsair" thing...
I mean, Hellcats paved the way in the Pacific. Perhaps he should come to a Hellcat squadron???
G3-MF would offer you crumbs off Rodent's plate...
-
I'm trying to figure out why I'm so popular lately, I try and be mean to everyone I meet, the red guys, and sometimes the green, but especially the orange.
Sorry Slip, but my home will always be in the F4U, just flown it for too long now. Plus I can see out of it and it's faster. Nothing against the hellcat, as I do well in them and they make up for their small weaknesses with toughness. I actually think Branch prefers hellcats secretly, but I don't think he will admit it. Oh yea Rodents don't share, just ask Rodent.
MachNix, not sure where you got the rumor about me thinking about leaving but keep up the flattery, I found a new pillow on my bunk today :rock
Also how far off track has this thread gotten at his point? :rofl
:salute

BigRat;
You are aggressive and show good airmanship. Just wanted to make sure VF-17 was treating you right. :rock
And just to get the thread back on track, let me ask this, "VF-17 has pillows?! :eek: Next thing you are going to tell me is the sheets are silk just like the chutes! Which, I guess makes sense to have silk sheets since we are not supposed to use the silk for chutes in FSO. There, back on track.
Enjoy your new pillow. :D
:cheers:

i usually free fall til about 1500feet and THEN pop the chute. this gets me away from the action, no one can shoot me, and I can tower out without being accused of something. just saying!
-
It does make me wonder if you can shoot the little man falling before the chute is pulled. If you'd even see him falling. :headscratch:
