I wonder what was the purpose of trying to sensor the name out of the pic when it can still be read quite clearly  :huh

On my PC the name is unreadable.  I thought I had done an adequate job of shielding this chaps identity and to a degree his honour.

For me it's not so much this individual it's the whole thought process or rather lack of it, that leads the ill-informed to jump to conclusions.  Conclusion derived by ignorance as patently defined here. 

In real life I don't suffer fools lightly, as the proverb goes.  I also don't take kindly to virtual slander being as I am one of the most honest players in the game....granted that's my choice and playing style.  However, by slamming this particular individual I wouldn't be addressing the bigger picture, hence my "failed" desire to afford this chap a messure of anonymity.

If this screen shot highlights ignorance and irrational thought perhaps the next bunch of guys will at least think before banding around the "C" word.

Lynx is one of the few guys whos very,very good in every platform. GVs, bombers, strike aircraft, fighters, ship guns...the entire gamut. There are a few others, but only a handful who can boast this kind of cross platform skill set. Thing is most guys specialize in one or two things and thats it. I remember I had just bombed a field in 26s and was fleeing for my life at 12k from a field with more red on it then an Irish all girls choir. Who do I see coming the other way?, towards the field only at 6k alt, but Lynx.

I warned him theres more red ahead then a Vampires reunion buffet and he replied, "no problem mate thanks for the warning". I was new to the game so I figured this guy was dead as fried chicken, then about 15 mins later I see the scroll "Lynx lands 6 kills in a B-26 of blind bats".

Now that I fly in his squadron I can honestly say nobody can bomb GVs better then he can. In fact he can do it all at a very high level and unlike a lot of score guys He's always going into heavily contested airspace, and often at a disadvantage.

Heh.

Lynx killed my GV a couple of times, while diving right into my sites.  And I know exactly why he killed me instead of the other way around......

I suck  :cry

Your accuracy in shooting indicates you speak the truth when you said you never used stick scaling. Maybe you should consider it?  :O

I hate the new IL-2. Now even LYNX :confused: is getting kills in it. Usta be that ya needed a little skill to kill everything with an IL-2.

You can't be serious.

Serious on 2 out of every 3 sentences. :) That's a pretty good percentage, right?

Panzers were useless before, if there was an IL-2 driver around that knew what he was doing.

I have also wondered if this new gun package on the IL2 will bring the Ostie back more.  Think about it, the IL2 is tough and takes a lot more 20mm hits than a standard plane.  Perhaps with the Ostie it would take less hits to bring it down?  Plus those 37mm have better range.

The only aircraft I've ever seen take more than one hit from an ostwind and fly off have been lancaster bombers and the Il-2

Newman, honestly, I doubt it. With the caliber (no pun intended) of players that are mostly online now, they equate volume of fire with destruction potential. Without fail, 90% of the time that I bring an Ostwind out for base Defense or Offense, I get at least 1-2 people asking why I am driving that "Outdated, slow firing, POS." I guess like most things I see in the game right now, some people would rather spray 1,000 rounds and pray that through shear volume of fire, maybe hit 1 target, instead of taking the time and practice to learn the slower firing Ostwind, and fire 5-10 rounds, and take down a hardened target, such as the IL2 or the B25, from twice the range as the Wirblewind.
