Enddelt has to write his first letter.


Me AND Talisman hit something...
and we lose a crew member???

War IS hell!

I'M DEAD??????????????

Damn....and i was waiting for my chance to take over the plane over all of YOUR corpses. Sigh...so much for my budding megalomanical plans of power.

I not only hit a plane, I KILLED it. That hitting and damaging stuff is for wusses. :D

Sorry to see you go, Johnny. We knew our favored run would have to end sometime. RIP, big guy.

Hey, do you want to reenlist?

Yeah, I'd like to re-enlist.....

Returning from Valhalla to get those Nazi bastids that killed me....

I wasn't gonna tell anyone, but JohnnyV13 wasn't killed by enemy fire. The SOB spilled my beer and didn't offer to refill it. :banghead:

The cool thing, scaga, is that since you were closest to him when he died, you get to pick a sentence for his tombstone.

Some beer on the crub for our lost Homie.

The Dude Abides

Just reread the whole sequence:

talisman fires, kills Fw190
scaga fires, hits Fw190
Garcia bronco fires, misses

Hit Fw scores 4 hits
-nose – bomb controls knocked out (too late, Adolf)
-starboard wing root damaged
-waist – johnnyv13 killed by hit to right hip
-tail – tail guns knocked out of commission

Guess I'd better lay off the sauce. If I'd have KILLED the SOB instead of just HITTING it, JohnnyV13 would still be with us.

Oh well.....didn't really like him that much anyway. :p

Wow, you're going to carry around some guilt about that for the rest of your life.

Wanna bet?
ROFL

Pretty painless mission considering the position and the number of fighters. I guess Talisman will keep the lucky sunglasses, too

I rock rather hard.

Tali took care of business in the latest misson.

WTF???
Another mission and I don't even get a shot off????

Must have been in the pisser.

Mission 7 was killer...
