    Exclamation Marlins Being Posted

    Only a few more days of the crimea.. and then we're being posted to Kuban....

    Gotta love that map... it must be the one that weve played on the most.. from the early days of Kuban Frenzy.. to SubHunt.. and thos numerous dogfight sessions over the mountains

    Make sure you bring all your personal belongings.. we shall be on the way most likely before the weekend

    Thats just the greatest map, shame we are on the back foot, but Im hardly seeing an I16 now and Ive had 7 kills in 7 missions and got out alive in 6 of them (I ran into a Stuka formation yesterday after its attack and in the process of shooting down 1 his mate AWPed me )so the fight back is on

    We've lost Kersch, so it should be any day now. I'm looking forward to the change of scenary and the odd flight in a P-39, Yak7B and P-40 (hopes and prays)

    Damn... I was just starting to get to know that bit of map quite well ..

    Still Sevastapol is nice and hilly... with some clearly visible landmarks from the air... We're going to be protecting the summer airshow airfield. ...... and that little corner of mother russian bottom right is comfortable enough to hang out if for a while

    Then.. Kuban.. here we come!

    From doing the airshow - Sevastopol is really familiar.... you learn to reckon where you are fair accurately when you're flipping every which way pulling silly stunts...

    It looks like there are going to be a few P-40s in Kuban, so I've been getting reaquainted with the 'type'. I don't know about anybody else but I have an awful tendancy in the P-40 to nose over when braking on landing, you have to brake with many little dabs and keep the stick pulled back a little. You also have to be very tender with the throttle on take-off to avoid nosing over then. A bit of lag during take off can be utterly fatal. I love it once it's in the air though. It seems like a good match for the OKL planes we'll be facing.

    I just posted in the vef forum to try and workout what planes we'll actually be flying....I know theres a planeset discussion going on.. but i couldnt Iwork it out !

    If we're pretty sure bout what's going on... then I reckon we should get some praccy in (apart from Hackett. who seems to have got the hang of that p40!)

    So have made a suggestion in the mess hut

    I think this is the latest planetable for Kuban - http://www.yogisoft.de/vefii/pft.xls

    It looks as though we'll have more Laggs and Mig3ud's than in Crimea, Laggs being the most numerous. Also a fair number of P40E's. About half as many I16 24's and a great many fewer I16 18's. Yak 7B's are set to make the odd appearence, and there will be slightly fewer Yak 1's.
