You guys are gonna hate me
« on: April 05, 2010, 11:50:00 PM »
Sunday I posted my first mission since Mindnao was in regular rotation.  That was the infamous B-17's launching from the hangers mission in which almost everyone crashed on take-off.   :D

I've always kind of wanted to start a Spit specialty squad and after watching some Spit videos here on the BBs I was even more inclined to see a lot of Spits flying together.

On Sunday I launched a mission with 30 spots open for Spit IX's.  Full fuel, drop tanks, no ord to fly a fighter sweep of a Bish base that had been under heavy Rook attack for quite a while.  We took off with 26-28 Spit IX's.  What a sight to behlod.

While the original plan was to clear our base then go kill guys upping at the next Rook base over, someone spotted a CV off-shore and the plan got diverted.  the base was largely cleared, the CV went down to Spit IX straffing runs, and I don't think we took a single loss.

Some might call this hoarding but well, it was kind of fun.  I might do it again.

 :salute to those who tried to oppose us and thanks to everyone who flew along.

Don't apologize for a fighter sweep. Strafing carriers?  Nah, but a nice history feel to a Spit fighter sweep :)

I'd prefer Spit VIIIs, more skin variety and more fuel to extend the time you can toy with your victims.  :t

I was sitting in the tower watching TV when I heard the commotion of a mission about to start. At first I didnt even take much notice untill someone started playing The village People. And I realised quickly what was happening And knew I had better get out of there. So I with clenched cheeks I took off for a different location just as fast as I could. Figuring nobody would beleive me I hid behind a bush and snapped a few pictures first before putting as much distance between me and them as possible.

Someone did say they felt like Cinderella when I told everyone they could feel free to drop their slippers when they were engaged.   :uhoh
