Rattler Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 It was a sight to see, I think the old fairy tale "7 in one blow" would apply....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattler Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_O_A_D Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share 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.

JensenPark Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Rattler - you need to fly SEOW and do that to the GIAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_Gambler Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share 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?

JensenPark Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Uhh...Maybe Rattler and CG should both fly and help us in our direst hour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an NTRK of the sortie, but I'll do a few passes from in the cockpit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattler Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
