Toasting some parked T-72s to complete a side mission.

Unfortunate and quite unintentional aircraft-tree interaction. Solved later when the tree fell on it and blew the aircraft up.

The convoy forms up

Caution - Traffic merges ahead. Arclight and Takedas vehicles try to become one.

Arclight and Hunter go on ahead with Takeda close behind in the MHQ

The Abrams loses a track during a firefight, so the crew become infantry for a brief moment. During this time Hunter gets shot so I drop some smoke nearby and drag him back to safety.

Raptor breaks the smoke grenade launchers for himself so I take over as commander since I can still launch them. Time to try and remember what I learnt from Girls und Panzer...

Miho never had to deal with helicopters...fortunately Raptor has a HE shell to hand to deal with the problem.

While the rest of the team get the equipment together to return to base, I have to leave for the night, but before I go I return to get a Hind I spotted near one of our earlier objectives. It's pretty trashed...

But nothing a repair truck can't fix. Score a second Hind for the collection!

I want this game sooooo bad.

I want this, DCS, and SBP.

aaaaannnnnddd East vs West, Rise of Flight, ArmA 3, etc...

The list goes on...

I got to drive the actual US Military Stryker Simulator at Fort Knox a few years ago.

The thing was awesome! They had the exact mockup of the cockpit and a CVC helmet and all...

It was paradise for an 11 year old.

I also did the M1A1 Tank Driver Simulator.

Runt of the litter.
(yes, that one is also my fault)

I always did that in Battlefield Vietnam. I'd take a helo and pick up a tank with it so I could get to the battle quickly and then kick some butt when I get there.

Airborne Armor Division....I like it.

Arclight · 05-17-13, 12:23 AM

That thing was actually firing while being flown around.

Ah, but could it fire while in the air? Ours can!

Anyway, more screenshots from the annals of the clown brigade:

Satan's gas station!

This will end well...

(It doesn't)

That's not very nice...

Take that, flying sharks!

Please keep your upper torso inside the helicopter at all times

The glorious (and low-resolution) T-72 platoon moves into action!

They'll never find me here

Task Force and Arclight's concealed positions are vastly inferior to mine

Hurry up with that armoured convoy, will you?

Contact!

And then everyone died (except for Arclight, but he doesn't count)...

Hottentot · 05-17-13, 12:43 AM

If all of this happened after Kushab, I don't even dare to think what the situation looks like the next time I'll be around (which will hopefully be soon: that was awesome despite of yours truly being useful only for practical first aid lessons for the rest of the crew!).

I like the screenshots guys.... MOAR!!!

Action from 17 May 2013

I log in right after getting home and feeding the kids to find the objective is to liberate the dubious residents of Mulladost from the even more dubious oppressors hanging out in Mulladost.

Lo and behold, there is Hunter taking off in a UH-1 on his way to the target area. So being the nice guy he is, he lands to let me in and off we go.

So after doing some hiking and sliding up and down the rocky hills, we find bucolic Mulladost in the hands of some nefarious individuals wearing odd combinations of Middle Eastern religious garb and Red Army surplus. Arclight says hello in only the way that Arclight can.

Some more of Hunter and Arclight's handiwork.

Hunter charges into the fray as did knights of old.

Banzai!!!

And the not entirely unexpected aftermath.

After taking down a few dozen of them, the bad guys finally get wise and put some machine gunners on Arclight and myself. So the two of us head back to base to get the Abrams. 'Murica. But after we take down a few dozen more infantry and a handful of armor and assorted vehicles, our luck runs out and we are RPG'd to death.

We could go and regroup, but decide get Task Force with us and use this T-34 we found on the side of the road instead.

How we roll, yo.

So together, we finally liberate the citizens of Mulladost using maddeningly substandard fields of view and clunky armor. I assume the people rejoiced. None bothered to thank us, which is probably a good thing because we were pretty much mowing down everything in sight.

The world safe from bad men, we get the Chinook and airlift our new toy back to base. And everyone lived happily ever after.

My life as a tail gunner. Word.

Arclight · 05-17-13, 08:33 PM

T-34 wins!

Red October1984 · 05-17-13, 09:59 PM

Because when an ABRAMS doesn't do the job....

Random Side-of-the-road T-34...

Hottentot · 05-17-13, 11:52 PM

Dammit, I was lurking around a bit later than usual last night, but didn't see anyone on the server yet, so assumed everyone was happily wasting time on some inane social activity usually associated with the Friday nights. Oh well. Will apparently have to stay up a bit longer next time.
