Gotta love seeing a MASS of people upping at once!

It's the only time during the week that the Knights have any sort of organization.

Organization my ass!

It's just human nature to flood to the weak side, or jump into a crowd. It's the same principle that turns a minor 2 car fender bender into a 5 Mile traffic back up.

I happened to get some private messages from Ripsnort. I suspect it was not long after this pic would have taken place.

I noticed the HUGE jump in the radar bar and decided to run up a 262 for a little scouting and distraction. Killed an F4, 2 B17s, and disrupted about 20 fighters in the first run before died.
I relaunched and popped another couple B17s. Then Rip comes on and comments on how I am up for some easy kills and how they have 2x 262s hunting for my ass.
I also told him I wasn't out for kills and that my gunnery in that POS Jet actually sucked. I was just there to distract as many as possible to give the Rooks a chance.(too bad my Fellow Rooks were to HELL bent on the other end of the map to save their own HQ)
Then Rip says to me, (in so many words) "Not to worry, we are not after HQ or base captures, just doing some vulching."
Yeah right! I'm not THAT stupid.

I bellowed out on CH2 for help, but very few Rooks even bothered to look. (I think they squelch me) ;/
So, we ended up losing much ground and radar capability for the hours that followed.

Rip even complemented me and suggested that I come fly with the Knights.

Thanks Rip!

hmm, what's funny....is Rip is going one way, while the gaggle of bangerz are going the other way?

Well you know Rip, he never could get the right runway......get him to the right field and you're doing well.

Ripsnort · « **Reply #8 on:** December 14, 2001, 09:55:00 AM »

LOL Swoop! I was in 262 that sortie I believe, lost it on a friggin disco! (Arrgh!)

<S> all the Knits that joined up, that was fun, Yes, I told SKviper that we were just banging it because I knew he was a 262, as soon as I told him that, he started climbing, and our goon snuck right under his nose and captured the field.

I love disinformation, works well!~

Don't kid yourself...I didn't climb a bit!
I was towing a N1K2, F6, and Mossie around like little puppies wanting a nipple from a sore mother!

I didn't get the goon because I wasn't looking for one. I just hoped that since I had 1/4 of the Knit force following me that the other Rooks would find the goon.

Your disinformation was read as disinformation. I was 99.99% sure I wouldn't see another 262. I killed another buff and 2 more fighters after you told me that.

What worked for you was the fact that the Rooks stayed north, playing in the candy shop!

On a side note...

Look around the border of the base....its a blue line...anyone else getting those on their displays? I get those all over the place.

These types of strike forces are usually directed at undefended fields.

Would seem pretty stupid to attack a strongly defended field. Maybe you would recommend everyone anounce on channel 1 which field they are going to attack next. Of course they are directed at undefended fields...

AKDejaVu · « **Reply #14 on:** December 14, 2001, 11:38:00 AM »

Frost.. take a pill. Maybe then you'll begin to grasp the lunacy of "organized attacks" where 1/3 of a country attacks one undefended field.

I'm sure there is some sense of purpose and accomplishment attatched somewhere in there... but I can't for the life of me figure out why.

Maybe its just that so much of the MA is so busy doing nothing that its exciting to simply do something... no matter how little resistance you meet.
