AAR Squad night 11-24-2009
The evening began with the Specs assembling on
C16, about 50 miles south
of a rook base, A13. The CO called for heavy naval FOC, and the group took
off, formed up, and headed north.
On the way to the target we did encounter
several enemy fighters, but
with our help they were sent back to the
tower. Unfortunately for the surprise
element of our attack, they sounded the
alarm and by the time the squad
arrived over A13 there were plenty of
enemy planes upping to keep us busy.
We proceeded to drop on the FH's, but were not
able to take them all
down, especially with the defense
mounted against us.
The crowd of Rooks was able to gradually bring
the furball south
towards our CV, and after a valiant battle we
ended up losing the cv.
The Specs had to pull back southwest to A14 as
a takeoff base, and
continued to fight against the Rook horde as
they moved farther
south and captured P15.
The last few Specs online were hammering the
new rook cv
spawned at P15. We did manage to get multiple
hits on it, but
I am not sure whether we sunk it or not.
All in all it was great fun flying with the
Specs, as usual.
I guess in the end it was one of those "you're
the bug, not
the windshield " nights....but as always a
pleasure and an honor to fly with you men.
