HRZ

Guys, would you believe me if I tell you am an alien?

Was it a porn???

Ok. you have forgot to mention the fact that . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Su27 pilots have longer sticks.

This. Movie. Rocks.

Hey Black_Hawk what is the url of your homepage?

I officially announce this thread back on topic! There you go!

Ok. guys, as one not being in any squad and impartial as such, I have managed to arrange a special interview with one of the famous 504th pilots, Lieutenant Breadfan Breadfanovich Breadfanovsky, also known as (504)Breadfan. He also gave me his insight on 504th squad matches, while we were sipping coffee in a restaurant near Maykop. He was wearing his special occasions uniform, although he had a training flight some half an hour ago, he decided to change quickly and look good for the camera. I also noticed recruits saluting him all the time. It was more then a millitary rule of conduct, they had genuine respect for their training officier. The day was sunny and perfect for a nice interview, so here it goes: HRZ: Hello Breadfan! Wassup? (504)Breadfan: Nah..same old, same old. HRZ: So, did you read about that stuff on Lockon.ru about 504th vs JaBog32 match? (504)Breadfan: Uhm..what stuff? HRZ: Well, you guys flew against Jabog recently and there's a TACview track posted on the forums about it. (504)Breadfan: Oh? Well, yeah, it was a great match! Both squads were really relying on tactics and neither side took any chances, it was very simmilar to those RL red flags and trainings. HRZ: Really? So, it wasn't like those usual squad vs squad air quakes? (504)Breadfan: Uhm, squad vs squad airquakes? HRZ: Yeah, there is this guy Pilotasso on lockon.ru saying most squad matches are basically air quakes without objectives and it all comes down to who destroys who. (504)Breadfan: Well, you know Pilotasso..he's sometimes full of ****. (504)Breadfan: Ok. you won't publish my last comment, I think it's a bit inapropriate and I don't want my superiors see it, as I had some disciplinary issues before. HRZ: No problem m8. (504)Breadfan: Thanks buddy! HRZ: Anyway, can you tell us something about the match itself, how did it go? (504)Breadfan: The match was a blast, both squads flew tactical formations and were 'probing' each other, looking for the weakspots and utilizing the smallest gained advantage to their favour. I remmember JaBog had F15C pilots flying really high supressing any of our flanking attempts and most of the time, the first engagement would end up as a "draw" and we had to regroup. Unlike some less experienced squads we flew against recently, there was no rushing in "for the kill", as that would be a certain death for anyone who tried it. HRZ: Did you have some special rules, like refueling and rearming related? (504)Breadfan: Yeah, R&R was not allowed and we had a 2 winning rounds rule, so it was pretty exciting, all the more reason not to take any chances. HRZ: So, what was the deciding factor in winning the match? (504)Breadfan: As I said before, it was tactical cat & mouse play all the way. I remmeber our last round both squads ran out of fuel and medium range missiles, and we had like, 3vs3 orbiting around bullseye and waiting for the other team to make a mistake. Eventually, Jabog guys got short on fuel and had to RTB first, so that was basically a decider. All we had to do to win that round, was for our remaining flight to land in formation and in one peace. HRZ: Wow. Did you personally score any kills? (504)Breadfan: Actually no. In the previous 2 matches I scored 8 kills, but in this one, all my missiles would be simply spoofed or trashed by JaBog pilots. They were very disciplined and had obviously good leadership. HRZ: Did you get hit? (504)Breadfan: Yeah, once fatally. During the match I got hit twice by a heatseeker, but the second one damaged my plane, I lost HUD and some of the hydraulics but managed to safely bring my bird back to Anapa by reading the gauges. HRZ: What can you tell to all those lone wolfers about being in a squad? (504)Breadfan: Yeah, most of the people think squads are only for hard core no life simmers, which is absolutelly wrong. 80% of the 504th members have a daily job and other work/fammily responsibilites and we all manage to make a nice balance between RL stuff and online flying. And although I consider ourselves a high quality squad (both skill and especially, people-wise) we are always open to new guys willing to learn from A to Z. All we expect from a recruit is a genuine will to participate in the trainings. In return, our officiers offer wealth of knowledge which will bring pilot's Lockon experience to a completely new level, and this reason alone is actually enough to become part of the community. ;=) HRZ: Ok. Breadfan, you have a rollcall in about 5 minutes so I'll just ask you few more questions for the end and that's it, ok? (504)Breadfan: Yeah, go ahead. HRZ: Would you like to send a message to the lockon.ru community? (504)Breadfan: Yeah, you're a great bunch of guys! Whenever I have time I take a look at the forums and see what's going on, quite a lot quality posts, most of them really funny. HRZ: Speaking of funny, do you know Kenan? (504)Breadfan: Mmm, no, I don't think so. HRZ: Ok. Breadfan, once again thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, I wish you and 504th best of luck! (504)Breadfan: Thanks buddy! Bye! Bye!

Gamepad? Hell, it can run on Gameboy!

Don't be shy..vote!

Yeah, I think even the RuAF Mig29A's were somewhat more capable then the G versions.

Beautiful story. Thank you.

Well, that's only if you're badly hurt, going down in flames etc. Hey!!

- if you get shot down you get a heartattack, fall off your chair and die.

Actually, "Jastreb" (croatian version fo the word) is IMO pretty cool name.

Just fly straight towards your opponent and type on the chat "Look..I'm radar off..I come in peace..hey, you just please tell me what's your exact angels and heading and I'll continue my marry way.." (looks for a Launch override button)

Kudos to Renato! Looking forward to the 1.12a translation! :thumbup:

Hey, does this mean I actually found a BUG?? Will it be named after me???

Here it is: http://www.mrcine.org/downloads/bombing.mis The moment they paint you, the triangles appear. I checked my Options just in case, Easy Radar is OFF.

Hey no0b, I didn't set the specific targets. I just set the attack waypoint and put some Volcans there. Only after they started painting me (or was it me engaging them), those triangles appeared. I repeat once again: I didn't set any specific targets, just one attack waypoint that was even some 10km from the actual targets. And don't treat me like I'm some no0b. I can own you in AA without crosshair, with my left hand and blindfolded, while your dog with red eyes and needle in the mouth is watching completely amazed! (code: *NOB*Perica, top secret)

I never use Easy Radar. I'm l337. It's the triangulars that appear on your HDD once they paint you, and that way you have their exact positions. This only happens if you have assigned an attack waypoint for your Ground attack task.

When flying Flanker or Mig, and when having the attack waypoint, once you get painted by Shilka's, Volcans and whatever not, you actually get their exact position on your HDD, which is like, Looney Tunes meets Garfield. There is no such thing in real vanilla 27/29, as fas as I know, for that you would need a AG radar, right? So, please, fix this. Thank you!

Ok. I sure will! What type squad organisation do u have? A relaxed-lets-play-for-fun one or something more millitaristic kinda Major Payne stuff? Just tell me you don't have ranks and some silly command structure and I will be considering your offer! :thumbup:

Wow, your site looks really nice! It's good to see so many relaxed communities. I really hate those millitaristic-type online squadrons in which at the begining, they try paint you a nice rosey picture, all smiling and portraying as one happy village fammily and the longer you stay you realize the CO is some control freak who watched the Major Payne movie too many times and is like, "You gotta do this! You gotta do that!" and his XO just copy & pastes the lines in hope he will get promoted and you gotta address them with "Sir!", and if you do that enough time they will promote you to some ueber "rank" and once they do that they'll expect you to go all crazy about it (but it's just a stupid image) and if the CO decides so, you have to do the 24hr shift on your dedicated server looking for potential "threats" etc.. I mean..sheesh..good to see there are no squadrons like those and that this is afterall, a normal community with normal people. I may even join one of you, but I'm still waiting for few more updates, as I saw some other squads tags around here that haven't posted here yet.:book:

Guys, I just got the reply..damn:

I would like to apply for a position of a BS beta tester. Here is the form I filled from the main site, I hope ED will at least consider it:
