trashcanman Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 i've been having some great flights and fights recently on the various servers on hyperlobby. the guys that run these servers have my, and i'm sure many others, eternal gratitude. flying online is a huge step up and i think i have improved my enjoyment of lock on because of it. i'm far from where i want to be as you'll see. i thought i'd share my experience of this evening on the always excellent s77th server. ----------------------------------------------------- Time to fly some Lock On. PC on, fire up hyperlobby. Okay, where's the action? s77th server is 19/32, ping is 135 so that looks like a good place to start. Blue has less pilots so i join that side. Which plane to fly? I'll take the Eagle as she's my favourite bird, but tomorrow i'll put in some serious hours on the Russian planes. I know I need to, but I do love flying the F15. Payload set, tail to #31 and off we go. Once airborne I head off towards the action. I was feeling quietly confident as last night i bagged an Su27 and a Mig29 for no loss. My best haul ever ;) Soon enough, the hunt begins. The TEWS tells me I've got a Mig and a 33 working as a pair at my 1 o'clock and an su27 off to my 10 o'clock closer in. The briefing showed Ukrainian Su27s operating on our side so i swing left, light up the radar and sure enough he's a friendly at about 20 miles. Right, back to business. Roll back out towards the spikes from the 29 and the 33 and I begin to stalk them. Things hot up very quickly and my radar is a mass of jamming. Finally I start to see burnthrough and switch to TWS. I see a pair of bandits lower than me so now its show time. I am now totally focussed on the tagets. I'm aware that the Su27 keeps locking me but for some reason I discard this information as all my concentration is devoted to killing these 2 bandits. I hear the lauch tone grumble and instantly flash my eyes to the TEWS. Is it the Mig? Is it the 33? This will dictate my response. WTF? It's the F****** SU27 !!! OMG, i must have screwed up. I go defensive, pumping decoys and ..... Too late. I'm dead. But how? **Blue XXX (Su27) kills Blue trashcanman (F15C) with a ....... I was TK'd! I honestly don't mind having done it myself on too many occasions. Hit RCVR. Taxi out, start my take off run. 100 knts ..... What's that in the middle to the runway? 150 knts ..... It looks like a ...... wrecked plane rotate ..... rotate ..... rotate ..... mmm, the runway seems higher than it used to be. I think i lost my undercarraige. Yep, I'm sliding down the runway, off the end and into the sea. Time to eject ...... --------------------------------------------------------------- Strange as it may sound, but I had a really good time during all of this :) I've said it before and I'll say it again. Lock On online is the best.
S77th-Paralyzer Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Glad you are having a good time in the server trashcanman. See you in the server S! :)
firesoldier845 Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I played once with the S77th in a closed game against the AI. There must have been 12+ of us online. I flew in a group of SU25's with Dante and someone else in the squad whom I forget the name ATM. We took some ground targets out while the rest of the 77th kept the AI planes off our butts. I remember getting hit by a SAM and landing on a road with no engines. IT was the best time I ever had playing LOMAC online. Those guys are a bunch of really good guys in S77th. Glad you had a good time. cheers fs845
