FSO: Fully shafted, over.
« on: April 15, 2011, 11:21:44 PM »
Thanks to those that took our target, an hour to get there to find it's been downed by another group and now we have to do an hour home for 'score' having done F all.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Correcttion to the original orders.
 
VF17 is NOT hitting HQ.
 
VF17 is hitting the City Structure in the strats and should be with us (the main body).

Sorry Nef.  Tinmanx was a lil frustrated.  Unforgiven flew for an hour to the factories to find they were all destroyed.  It was an hour back to land.  We saw 1 zeke.  It Happens.... It's FSO .... :aok

I'm confused.  The Axis Objectives that went out last Saturday (April 09) said that the Allies were going to hit the strats in all six cities.   :headscratch:

Yeah this FSO needs some re thinking.

366 total pilots with only 125 total kills in frame three.

Don't apologize for me Plisskin.
CHawks took our target and left 15 guys over an enemy strat with nothing to drop on. I'm glad their squad had a good time, shame our evening was ruined because of it but that's FSO, "it happens" with startling and consistent frequency.
Yes, I'm pissed about it. I'm pissed it happened, I'm pissed no-one (CHawks) thought to tell anyone they'd taken other targets so we could re-task. I'm pissed I was chat banned and couldn't tell the CHawks exactly and precisely what I thought about them then and think about them now. I'm pissed that after a 6 month break from this event I've returned to FSO to find it is still the shambolic cluster fudge it's always been. I'm pissed that the squad I flew with got shafted not just tonight but from the moment we put our side request in.

Pissed but not surprised.

The LCA was over Hiroshima for and hour and a half of sight seeing. This is the first time in 4 years of flying the FSO that it has happend to my squad. We understand that sometimes things like that happen, but it still didn't make for a very fun night. Had 18 pilots flying around burning the emperors AV gas. Guess the Allies took enough of a pasting in the first two frames that they couldn't muster up the will to keep fighting  :rofl
