Meanwhile in Ukgeograinia.

Rolling out while Hunter and Raptor prepare for take-off

Not sure who this is, probably Arclight or Raptor

Meanwhile Zirran grabs an A10C and goes airborne

Then he meets a SAM site and goes groundborne fairly rapidly. Meanwhile I blunder around in the wrong area for a while and have to race to catch up with Arclight, Hunter and Raptor who are busy tearing apart an enemy convoy.

Arclight tries to move in to deal with the airfields defences but an SA-8 reaches out and touches him.

Despite my best sneaking attempts I blunder head first into a SAM battery which does bad things to the fly-ability of my helicopter. On the up side, the door still opens!

So I decide to take the Froggie, despite having never flown the thing before. What could possibly go wrong?

.....

So, to recap, everything is red, flashing and beeping at me, all the dials are in Russian and I have no idea what I'm doing....

On the upside, not having any idea what I'm doing has never stopped me before, so I kill the starboard engine after failing to find the fire extinguisher, and take a look at the damage. It's not brilliant, but the single engine seems to be keeping me up.

Meanwhile Arclight decides that tires are unnecessary and parks up at the end of the runway.

I come in too fast and high on the first approach, so abort and swing (gradually) around to come in for a second attempt from the other direction, over Arclights head in fact.

Against all expectation the Frogfoot does not explode on contact with the runway and I grind to a halt relatively intact. Arclight gets out of his A10 and comes to give me a beer while Schroeder starts up his Huey again to come over and give me a lift back to the mess.

Schroeder cannot find the right controls for opening the side door so I offer to ride on the skids

I wasn't expecting the sim to actually comply!! Unfortunately I fell off a few moments later and my pilot disappeared

Schroeder parked up...and then his rotor fell off...probably best to blame Charlie.

I think the high point of last night is when I managed to flip my Huey upside down on take off. And still survive.

Oberon · 04-10-14, 05:36 PM

I arrive too late to be of any use to anyone, so I head off to the target range to take it out on some Urals

I went Winchester, and then since everyone seemed to be leaving for the night, when I spotted this train crossing my path...I couldn't resist.

It went as expected....

Obe circling in for his landing last night.

Stalking unsuspecting prey.

Actual completion of the objectives tonight. I hereby qualify everyone fit to crash in other scenarios.

And the logical result of charging headlong through MANPADS infested territory.

*btw I'll leave the server running. Could hop on to hunt the target ranges a bit, good practice. Though would have to restart to run a mission proper.
** scratch that, not very practical. They really need to get a proper dedicated server solution.
