Getting gun kills on the Iron Beagles is trick but doable.

For starters you have to think of which one of a flight you will be going after in a formation. The inner two are not worth it due to incoming fire from the rest is you come in from dead 6. The best way to go about it is to go for the wingmen. Don't just think you'll fly right in and blast away, you'll have to dodge some damn persistant enemy fire as you are going to work.

Myfavorite two methods are... 1- come in manuvering wildly from 6 low to level and time and time the rear gunner's bursts. At the moment of truth you can slide right behind the bomber and blast away., and 2-If the bombers are high enough yuo can come in for a classic attack von unten hilten. If your timing is right you can get below a bomber, chop the throttle, and pull the nose up while spraying the bomber from nose to tail.

Lost another job.

Had a severe and near close to extremely violent meltdown and knew what was coming so just began packing. Met with boss and HR type a while ago, went through what happened, Everyone came to same conclusion.

Relocating again. Homeless again. Been there done that many times.

Will be 45 years old in a few weeks. Pretty much have run out of options.

Marshalling will and resources for what may be final offensive.

We should just pull out everything out of both countries and leave them to their fate.

Another Washington political screwup IMO. When all that crap was going down in Libya and Egypt i told everyone that would listen that the #$^% was going to backfire on us if we didn't stay out of it and minded our own business. The last thing we need now is to get involved in the Syrian situation.

Their problems, their solutions.

BTW- Anyone want to bet that they'll just increase aid to those places?

Hey Dave, can you delete the thread i started? This one came in a few minutes ahead.

the problem is when you kill one there's another one that replaces him\her... so the world is not a better place :\

Not quite.

This lady was the absolute worst of the worst. I've lived in areas that had a hell of a lot of people involved in the drug trade and no one came close to the blood spilled or the problems she caused. And she didn't care a bit that she was bringing down all kinds of heat, she would go to war with anyone. It was noted in retrospect, that when she left Miami for southern California, the murder rate noticeably dropped.

There was nothing like her for pure carnage in the cocaine trade at the time.

I lived in Miami when this evil witch kicked off the Cocaine Wars. Frankly, i'm amazed she lasted as long as she did once she was out of prison.

I saw this a few hours ago. Last person i thought would be dying that young.

I remember firing a Falcon at a MIG 21 flying perfectly straight and level and having the damn thing just zip by the target and keep going. Also, in the early WOE campaigns the Aim9B is more or less garbage at low level while intercepting IL28s but at altitude it does a lot better.

I've never gotten to Gen 2 for the simple reason that my E Machines T-3120 could barely handle the Steel Tiger campaign in WOV Gold and WOE with certain mods. I've always been envious of those of you running the new stuff until quite recently. Between reading about all the hassles here in this forum and being away from the sim due to my current job and location, i no longer feel that bad.

I'm an average player. Nothing more, nothing less. I've been curious about modding but don't have a jack#%$& clue about how to go about it despite having asked sometime before. I use what mods i think will add a bit more something to what i'm doing. Over the last six years i've had a blast flying whenever i could despite some times when everything seemed to be going wrong. The DiD challenge? To me it's an honor to be the first to have posted an AAR and have been the last to have kept it going. Even now i'm thinking of when i get things together again and posting the results. I have no intention of bugging out. Here i'll stay.

Basically it's for general websurfing activities. But maybe sometime soon i should hope to get back flying again in WOV Gold and WOE as well as doing Rome:Total War. My current gaming rig is a 6 year old E-machines T-3120 that has served well but obviously it can't handle some of the newer stuff around.

My main thing is doing a lot of online poker as i intend to enter two events at next years World Series Of Poker and i need to be in top form for those.

Where i'm at now was evacuated a few years ago due to a fire and when i was a Zion 10 years ago a sizable fire was so close we had to sleep in our clothes and with escape kits ready. Heading off to work in the morning was like walking through a thick fog.

The thing of some of these locations is that a fire at certain points can cut you off from anything other than pretty hairy trails that might have to be taken at a run and in the dark.

I'm just beginning my search so i figured i'd ask here too.

I'm at Grand Canyon North Rim for the next few months and then it's off to either Zion or Big Bend National park until next June. One thing about being in these places is communications is rather sketchy (My cell phone doesn't even work here)and sometimes the boredom can be staggering, hence the heavy drinking that is rather common amongst employees. Anyways, we have WIFI here and considering the crap state of the community computers here i figured i better do like many others and get a laptop to keep up with things and while away the times without drowning in a tidal wave of beer.

Might as well do a lot of poker as well as doing some kind of blog.

Any suggestions to something cheap and reliable? I've owned a number of computers but this will be my first ever laptop so i'm sorta flying blind on this.

Thanks for the vid!

Here's my contribution...

Just got a call earlier. I'll be in Arizona in a few weeks working in a national park for 3 months then i intend to transfer to Texas. That'll hold me until next June when i'll head back to civilization.

I'll bet any amount of money that come next year at the same time there will be many of the same faces around here doing nothing.

BTW-In no way do i consider work a "Right" You want it? Go get it!

What really bugs the hell out of me is a collection of "men" that don't have the balls to look at the situation they're in and figure out a way out on their own.

Fact of homeless life...If you are a single male of job age in relatively good health, you got nothing coming. It's pretty much you against the world. If you're a junkie, drunk, or layabout, it's such an easier life. A particular pain in the ass is older f#%$ks who get checks that can easily pay for rent, food and such, but choose to spend it on getting a motel room and partying the money away. The vast majority don't even last a week and then back to the shelters. The s**ts get priority because of age and so get in ahead of anyone younger than 50. Many times no one but them make it in.

Me? I'm renting a bed at Salvation Army. Costs $220 a month. If i don't get a job within the next two weeks or so i'm going to camp out. I've been everywhere in this area and know multiple spots. Just have to worry about keeping clean enough to look for work.

Every single day you find a number of people at the shelters who do nothing but hang around doing absolute jacks**t. They can easily tell you of every foodline within a mile though as well as when they serve. They can also advise you of a number of welfare scams. "Getting over" instead of getting a job is the common attitude and welfare instead of work is the goal.

Nothing but a cesspool of human sewage.

As i said before-F$%k Them All.

Sorta makes me feel a lot better that i can only fly the Gen 1 sim.

People at the bottom are destined to remain there.

It's been roughly three weeks since i relocated and hit skid row once again. Since then i've been tracking down various job leads and doing applications. Anyways, being on skid row exposes one to some truly pathetic examples of manhood.

So much whining about the "System" and "The Rich" and what "The government should give us" for example. Worst of all are in two categories- A...Those of job age who are in good health but won't get off their ass, and B...Older men who don't have a thing to show for all their time spent on earth. Lord help you around here if you have plans or ambitions. You spend enough time talking to people or listening in on conversations and without a doubt you'll know that you are truly amongst the bottom dwellers. To the victor go the spoils. It's as easy as that. You live to be nothing and nothing is what you surely will be. Anyone here out of alignment with their mindset will be treated with the harshest of scorn.

F@$#k Them All!

May their worthless corpses fill paupers graves.

Someday i shall think of the filth while drinking champagne on a tropical beach. (Eighth Rule Of Carney)

Conquer or perish!

One less chomo on the loose!

Glad to hear things turned out all right!

Crikey - All the best James

Thanks!

Well, i've been here for a week already and seen my primary job hopes vanish after making trips around to the various convention centers we have here. Looks like i'm getting back into Culinary union and back to waiting to be sent out for applications and interviews. Good thing at least is that i have multiple state ids now and so am simply denying that i have any prior hotel experience in Las Vegas at any interviews. Not only will it increase my chances at getting hired, it'll mean less pressure at first since i'll be treated as a trainee rather than someone who has a lot of experience and has been around at different hotels.

One weeks worth of work and i have an apartment since the rents around here are really cheap. The best are in neighborhoods that used to be crack infested cesspools. They're all cleaned up and quiet now and they rent cheap since the drug dealers, hookers and other such street trash are long gone.

The future looks bright!

I'm on the move again.

just spent a little over 7 months in North Jersey and it's back to Las Vegas. I really liked where i was at since the old neighborhood is now a pretty nice place and NYC and the USS Intrepid was right across the river. The downside is that rents are sky high, good jobs are scarce unless you have a specialty or have a hookup, and the place is overun with illegals that the politicians that favor over their own citizens.

Check into a motel for a few days to straighten things out in my storage unit and update certain official cards and paperwork. Then it's salvation army rent a bed and checking out who has the contracts for convention custodial work. Then it's building up a bankroll and getting things together again.

1st Degree robbery

Someone asked me if i can show them a video so he can see something of WOV GOLD but i can't find anything. There are more than a few vids out there (including Stary's great Green Hell vid) but none that i've found show the full fury of the flak and SAMs.

Anyone have anything?

Ok that didn't go so well. Accidently ejected on the way home at high speed so that's it. got so ticked i went back to the 444 RCAF and got it going on!

Will write it up in a few hours!

Ok, i'm at it again

http://combatace.com/gallery/image/23357-clipboard-w/

Lost not one, but TWO pilots lost to mid air collisions. Mears was lost along with his wingman at the IP on a mission to the Berlin area and Joseph Peterson-444 Squadron RCAF was lost when the MIG17 he had just blown the wing off of, rolled and hit his plane as it was passing.

Better luck next time i guess.
