You tosser stealing my idea(sleeping, not JD), though I was implementing it way before you wrote that message... Sorry guys, slooks like it's no naps for me if I want to fly that evening

Anyone want to give a short recap on yesterday's sorties?

Kratos · 08-20-08, 06:10 AM

Not really a lot to tell

Nothing to see when you got locked cockpits, when you fart and die at takeoff, you gotta sit there doin nothing

till the few that did takeoff return to base. Even trying to listen on teamspeak is difficult, two or more people speaking at the same time isn't good listening, soo i go downstairs for a beer and speak to the missus

thats gotta be better than looking at a pile of smoking wreck on a stoopid runway

I Hate locked cockpit

And Schröder and I have to report to ''Roland Freisler'' for shooting at our own convoy in a BF110 after complelty destroying the british forces in the depo of Tobruk...and we saw 1 more convoy going to our lines (so we thought they where british too) but seemed to be friendly forces retreating

Yeah, in the middle of red territory almost 10km behind enemy lines.

1st sortee I took a 110, didn't realise there was a hefty crosswind and wound up without gear on the side of the runway, meanwhile Schroeder rear-ended someone I believe, Raptor or Kratos landed up with no ailerons. All in all, I think only two made it up in total. So that went well, and from what I could tell from TS, both those who made it up had difficulty getting back.
2nd sortee I took a 109 and escorted the unescortable Raptor in his Ju-87. With locked cockpits I had no idea where he was and presumed that I'd meet up with him at the enemy A/F, so it was a surprise to me to learn he was in fact three grids back and demanding an escort. So back I went with my three AI friends and I curved around and followed him in, then after he took out one AAA with his dive bomb I zoomed him on his way back to the airfield and then crash landed in the ground fog, sod it if I could see the damn runway in that.
3rd sortee I took the 110 again and followed Hunter and Schroeder in their escapade, Schroeder had a few choice words to say to the ground forces after strafing them whilst they were deep in red territory and heading towards our frontlines. I meanwhile strafed the village the tanks were in, blew something up and then followed them back. We'd just got back to our airfield and Schroeder had almost landed when the Brits decided to come and play, so up we climbed, I got in behind what I thought was a Hurri and opened fire, knocked parts of its rear-end off and then at the same time heard a mayday signal from one of ours. Smacked joystick into forehead and returned to base, Schroeder smashed his wing off on landing, Kratos had made a bit of a mess at the other end of the runway and I smashed my undercarriage off at the other end of the runway, from what I heard over the radio, Raptor in his Itie POS was also destroyed.
So, all in all, not one of the Lolwaffles finest moments, I don't mind the whole locked cockpit thing but it does make escorting a bit tricky when you don't know where the aircraft you're supposed to be escorting is. I've also got to wire up the zoom button to something on the joystick so I can ID a/cs before I open fire on them.

Raptor1 · 08-20-08, 06:50 AM

Pfft, I have double the wings you silly Germans do

Schroeder · 08-20-08, 06:53 AM

With locked cockpits communication becomes more important. So all of you mutes: GET A MIC!

Or why not get a cheap set of earphones,then no-one will have any trouble hearing you.
