Who wants a belly rub??

By the way, can we get an update on who's assigned to operate what with all the new hardware?

Fingers crossed on either the Reaper or the Hawk

I'M SORRY, OK!? I admit I've made some mistakes, and Jones has clearly paid for them.

But ma'am! Jones' only crime was looking at the wrong files!

I want it on record that I want to be reassigned to one of the shinier planes. I did my time in an Sk60 and killed a Dragon dammit! I deserve something. :v:

Edit: Actually I do kind of like the idea that the rookies get stuck in the Sk60s if we want to make that a thing. It makes sense that we'd haze the newbies by stuffing them into one of those things.

I'd be worried about the dictator telling us to do shadier and shadier poo poo, and if we refuse then he'll make his displeasure known... so to speak.

As for planes I'd like to move to a gripen eventually but I don't mind sticking in the phantom I had last mission if no gripens are available. I don't mind a tornado either if someone prefers my phantom to a tornado.

Rather than joining the good side, we will make our side good (through PR, lies, spin, and napalm).

Oh, I missed that then! I think there's like 30 names before mine anyway so I may not even be up yet at all. I only mentioned those as I've been rambling about SAMs forever and I think I was the first to suggest buying the Reaper. Otherwise I really have no preference if those aren't available.

Also rereading that made me suddenly realize we owned two Hawks and now we bought a Hawk. Thanks for that, militaries :v:

Reiterating my support for Angola and the Dictator

Also I can also get behind the idea of hazing the newbies by sticking them in the SU60's and Hawks, they are afterall trainer aircraft. :colbert:

If that's the case I'd love to put some stick time in one of the Tronados.

That should be our Hawk's.... The side profile I found was in arabic so uh, it should be a hawk. Google said it was.

Edit : It's not. Fixing it now. If you can't trust Google Image Search, who can you trust?

The KC-135 (above the C-130) is wrong also. I generally check wikipedia, they're pretty good about having the right picture for things.

Edit: Unless we bought the VC-10, in which case you're missing the KC-135.

Bering seas look boring aside from ecoterrorism. The dictator would try to kill us after his paranoia makes him think were plotting to overthrow him and some fucktarded dweeb in the free state would stiff our payment in some attempt to pretend he's a game of thrones character.

Protip: Our MQ-9B, being a newer American model, can be equipped with Gorgon Stare surveillance pods

So, they made a system of surveillance cameras analyzed by AI and called it Gorgon Stare? Someone was reading Laundry Files at that time I guess (also everyone, read Laundry Files).

Also voting for Angola - Dictator. Payout should be nicer, that's the only reason.

Also, asking for your own call sign? That's bad form.

While I agree with you that that's certainly an interesting story, I think after the Tibet debacle we deserve a story where at least one idealist means exactly what they say, no matter how much that conflicts with the rest of the world. If every campaign ends with "and then things got worse!", it wouldn't be very interesting, now would it?

It doesn't need to be making things worse, even, and that'd be a fitting end to the story of an idealist who does mean exactly what they say. They can't fix things without breaking other things, and the world keeps turning.
