Well in the midst of one of the most frustrating evenings I've had with this game, the dark clouds parted and a ray of sunshine issued forth. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Yah gotta really love Rook tactics (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Had it been me in your shoes Funked, I think I woulda been laughing too hard to hit any of them.

LOL the Typhoon K/d probably doubled after that sortie. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I have to ask, why did the rooks have 4 unescorted c47s flying above radar?

LOL! My that's a great picture. You definitely need to hold onto that, funked (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) It belongs in AH Historia somewhere. Most definitely! And the story must accompany it.

God blessed you Funked (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Well in the midst of one of the most frustrating evenings I've had with this game...
Funked, check yer email, dude. Sent you something regarding this.
-
ROTFLOL !
Figures it would be Funked who came across these Goonies.
Did you get your 2 day permit? Did you know that you can only shoot 2, and have 2 in possession by law? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Well, to me its obvious....The Rook Sheep had taken over 4 C47's and were attempting to liberate their fellow sheep from the tryanny of their Knit "Handlers"!
I'm mean look at that formation....that's definately a herd-like mentality (the same formation they exhibit on the field whilst we are in the tower)...and who can blame these brave sheep....would you want to be "Handled" by the Knits??? (eewwweee)
I say we should build a monument to these brave woolen comrades who so bravely risked their, well, wool to rescue their "handled" fellow sheep.
Also, let this serve as warning to all....that flock of innocent looking sheep on every airbase here in AH is not so innocent. Somehow they have covertly trained themselves to fly, and this could happen to any team. I can see more of this happening in the future by these seemingly docile creatures!
Cobra Out
PS (The real scoop was it was done as more of a joke than anything else....some of us were really bored...and laughing our arse's off on RW, and funked got all of the 47's, but he did pay a price for it. So don't read too much into it) Also <S> to funked!

Laugh if you will, but we (Buccaneers) have taken several bases with massed C-47 attacks. We've also had our private parts handed to us by lone fighters in the attempt! Either way, it's good for a giggle.
------------------
Jus' cause yer paranoid don't mean I ain't out ta getcha.
-
That is a lot of goonies, musta took at least 4 bullets, how did you explain that to yer CO?
Betcha those Rooks were surprised when they tried to jump in their guns.
------------------
When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?
-
To bad you where in a Typhoon. Thats when its real fun to have a spit vb. Then you can pickem appart with 303s and it any start to escape finish em with the HS...

Funked, send me your sight file! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I got to hand it to you, Funked...If I looked up and saw a sight like that filling my windscreen, I'd have figured I was having video card trouble and reboot my computer (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).
Seriously, Gronk is right; some times a seemingly suicidal plan will work from sheer audacity. The last time the Buccaneers tried this, we had TWELVE C-47s!!! And you know what? It WORKED! We were in such a tight formation, several enemy pilots thought it was a bunch of B-17s with a few goons hiding amoungst them -- the icons were practically right on top of each other. We came in at about 12k, and dropped together, just as an F4U crept close enought to realize we were a defenseless heard of buses. As I recall, we all died. The F4u and at least one other fighter went ape trying to strafe all the chutes, but I don't think he could see them all because of the limit on the number of A/C your FE can keep up with. Somehow, 10 out of 120 grunts made it to the ground and ran for the maproom. One of the most memorable missions I've ever flown.
Salute, you poor dumb rook bastiges...you may just be Buccaneer material (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif).

I got the gunsight from here: http://www.ceres.dti.ne.jp/~nabezo/AH/gunsight.htm (http://www.ceres.dti.ne.jp/~nabezo/AH/gunsight.htm)
Great site, they even have photos of the real-life gunsight images!
-
I just downloaded all of the gunsights. The're great! Except for the F4U one, because it is not compensated for the slant of the sight glass.

Funked, I believe I was the first name to light up on your screen and couldnt evade cause we were all laughing too hard.
Sometimes we are guilty of just having fun in this game and goof off. I was shot down over an enemy field one night and parachuted down to the runway and ran between fighter that were taking off into the bomber hanger. I ran from door to door laughing as the fighters tried to strafe me only to auger into the ground. I kept thinking it would be fun if they let one live soldier take the map room like the ten AI paras.
Anyway Im glad we could take your mind off the "serious" business of simming to just have some fun bud hehehe. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
