MODERATORS
maybe they should work on that.
I heard that it already is available and active but I can’t say more because it’s double top secret classified.
Put it in the Signal chat!
Nah that's for operational intel, specs of equipment belong in the Warthunder forums.
I’m in a signal with Kegseth, and he hasn’t mentioned it….
Glad to hear the pilots are ok
Why? Those people are there to rain death and destruction on brown people who did nothing to them.
USS Benny Hill?
the aircraft yearn to swim freely in the ocean, obviously if you chain them outside all day they're going to try to find a way to escape
Ok lemme guess the callsigns:
- Today's pilot who went overboard: SHITSHOW
- The pilot whose plane went off the top during ship maneouvers: KDRAMA
Call signs are typically insulting and almost never cool. And frequently named for a spectacular fuck up.
They might call one of these guys “Poseidon” now. Or something.
“Poseidon?! That’s a cool call sign! How’d you get it?!”
“Drove off the flight deck…”
“Bwhahaha! You’re THAT guy. Oh fuck. You’re that guy.”
Pretty sure they won't be flying again. If I remember it, barring exceptional circumstances, like being shot down by your own fleet, if your plane goes down your flight days are too.
Maybe they should have picked a better president to name it
“the arrestment failed,” said the official
I wonder at the nature of that failure. I'd immediately think this means "the cable broke" or "the hook broke". But, it could also mean "the pilot missed the cable and failed to respond correctly".
And in February, the Truman collided with a merchant vessel near Port Said, Egypt.
TFW freedom of navigation.
Is it possible that alcohol was involved?
...and the small towing tractor..... Ehhh, you mean the two things just fell even though they were already hooked together to go into storage? Or like was the tractor trying to save the plane? Or maybe the seas were really foken rough at the time? Like foken foken?
Good.
