Rattler Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I joined Logos hosting a COOP last night, 10 Feb, with TOAD, Trout, Perfesser, and BadAim all taking Russian shite in hopes of demolishing the glorious Wermacht. I took one of my favorite rides...just to keep things honest, you know. Now, this isn't me tooting my own horn. Quote
Perfesser Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 It was a sight to see, I think the old fairy tale "7 in one blow" would apply....... Quote
Rattler Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 Here's a vid I made of it...2 parts. Make sure that you click HQ (high quality) on the bottom right menu button. Annotated them on YouTube. Quote
Trout Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod, I'm on You-Tube!!! Quote
Rattler Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 It's never easy to tackle so many planes that have rear gunners. Logos did a particularly good job of defense - stick as close to the ground as possible. Quote
Logos Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Very nice Rattler. I know better than to fly that Russian shiite. I really should learn to fly them FW's. They got awesome firepower and loads of ammunition. Thanks for making us poor bastards famous. Logos ~S~ Quote
Rattler Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 Meh, sometimes you just get lucky. Quote
T_O_A_D Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Nice shooting, but I'm more interested in what it looks like from inside the pit. Those are the views that will teach us proper line up and deflection using the piper in a 190. Most of us waist too much ammo per kill, as you do not, or allot less than most of us anyway. Quote
JensenPark Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Rattler - you need to fly SEOW and do that to the GIAP! Quote
Cold_Gambler Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Nice shooting, but I'm more interested in what it looks like from inside the pit. Those are the views that will teach us proper line up and deflection using the piper in a 190. Absolutely agree! Would it be too much trouble? @ JP: As I recall, in mission 1 of the GIAP SEOW, Rattler opened with one fighter and 4 Il2 kills!! Sadly, he appears more committed to his wife and children than to the DDz and has bowed out of this campaign... perhaps we should stage an intervention? Quote
JensenPark Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Uhh...Maybe Rattler and CG should both fly and help us in our direst hour? Quote

There is an NTRK of the sortie, but I'll do a few passes from in the cockpit as well. Quote
Rattler Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 Uhh...Maybe Rattler and CG should both fly and help us in our direst hour? I'd love to, Kelly, but it's just too early in the afternoon for me. Seems that you guys are all getting much better at it, though, and learning how to "game the game" too. Like Forgotten Skies, it's all about points in SEOW. That, and the overall objectives. Quote
Crash Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 That was very interesting Rattler, the cockpit views were a great help Quote

Strider Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 You make it look simple, Rattler. The sign of an experten. Found a thread with more info on flying the 190: http://www.acompletewasteofspace.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=13743&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Hope this helps everybody!

sged Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 It amazes me the amount of ammo that bird carries lol! Quote
DD_asas Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 yesterday i was looking that track, and ...man, Rattler, u r a "plane killer" Quote
Rattler Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 Used the technique to good effect last night with the guys again. FW 190A5 vs P-40's and A-20C's. Great to see so many guys online last night! Been quites regular the last 4 weeks or so. Quote
Logos Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 He Hee. After I whined about Pete killing all the planes in the COOP he was gracious enough to leave a couple for me to kill. He could have had them but, he's a great mate so he left a few scraps for the wiener DOGZ. Thanks mate. Logos Quote
