Aces of World War III

[Malyc]

@Mortis: Yes... Departed from the thought line, as it were...

@Mr. I'vebeenframed: Welp, theres the Raptor rider you were lookin for...

 

[Athol]

Hmm... It just occurred to me that there are as of yet no aircraft here capable of landing on a carrier...

Scratch that, I lied. The Typhoon appears to be carrier capable.

True, by this Typhoon is Canadian which means there are no carriers to use (as the Canadian Navy has no fixed-wing capabilities) and the pilot has no carrier training.

Hmm... Now I need to ask myself, do I think it is absolutely necessary that we have a pilot and aircraft capable of landing on a carrier?

And the answer... Is that it's a good idea, but i have no idea.

If the Soviets launched a simultaneous nuclear, chemical, and radiation attack on nearly every NATO military base, do you really think you're going to find an intact carrier with a living crew anyway? Well, one that isn't sailing under a Red Star, anyway.

 

[Malyc]

@Prince: You bring a good point, but I don't think the carriers always project their positions... The ocean is a big place, after all...

But, looking at the other aircraft, we really don't need another multirole, so I'll stick with the Eagle.

That was sorta my thought, and you know any Carrier Group that was at sea during the intial strike is going to draw fire from every Soviet unit that finds it.

I like this idea, but I know very little about specific planes. Can I just pull a model out of the air, like an F-22, or do I have to really know what that means as an aircraft?

Wikipedia is your friend. As long as the aircraft in question is still in service, then from my understanding, its golden.

Also from above, just make sure they aren't Russian planes. The squadron you also have to pick out but like Malyc said, Wikipedia is your friend.

Plane choice is kind of key also. Like you have a better chance as a Multi-role fighter in a dogfight than a ground attack plane(cough cough).

The same goes for having an air superiority plane in a scenario where you have to attack ground targets.

Which is why i'll be stuck up high when you guys play in the dirt XD

You may be a rag-tag squadron of throw-togethers, but you are a squadron. Where you're weak, your squadron mates should be able to pick up the slack.

I'd feel pretty good if I had an F-22 and a F-15C on my squadron any day.

Oh and is there a date for probable start for the RP or are you still waiting for more?

 

[Robert Ewing]

World war III would fucking suck either way you look at it... The only aces I can THINK of are only in the long run.

It will quench human numbers, numbing over population.

Land that was otherwise controlled by a crazy ass nation like North Korea or China is now under the control of a more responsible nation (provided the responsible ones won that is)

World war III manifests into a unification war. If so, that's no bad thing I guess... In the long run.

 

[PrinceOfShapeir]

...thank you -very- much for your brilliant insight that World War III will be bad and will kill lots of people.

Seriously, does this look like the R&P section?

*Sigh and facepalm*

Anyway, yeah, I'm probably going to start it this weekend.

 

[Malyc]

Alright, I'm looking forward to this!

@Mr. Ivebeenframed: I just noticed you don't have a callsign listed, and, being the curious bastard that I am, I have to ask: What is it?

 

[Redryhno]

Alright, I'm looking forward to this!

@Mr. Ivebeenframed: I just noticed you don't have a callsign listed, and, being the curious bastard that I am, I have to ask: What is it?

Your nickname, more or less.

That I know... What I was asking is what HIS was.

Edit: Speaking of callsigns, I switched mine to Banshee because Hunter didn't sound fast enough...

 

[Athol]

@PrinceOfShapeir: Are we all going to be paired up, or are we going to get NPC wingmen? I vote NPCs for the sake of the flow of combat/story.

 

[Doctor Infinity]

Any chance you're still looking for people?

 

[PrinceOfShapeir]

I hadn't considered it, Athol. I wasn't planning on pairing you, and I'm definitely not planning on writing up an entire character to go with every single one of you, that's a little much even for me.

Doc, yeah, I'm always looking for more people.
