Turtles.It's sad because I really like the looks of the Fulcrum.

Looks aren't everything.

Eh, I switched to the Fencer. Swing-wings FTW. As long as I can eventually upgrade into the Su-34 or something else, I'm cool.

There will be upgrades after completing a few missions. Essentially once you do a few things to ease the pressure off of the UN and get some 'breathing room', Avalon and the UN will be able to get to work on rolling out some more conversions and aircraft you'll be able to take into battle. But that'll take a while, it won't be right after your first mission or anything.

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

I am very aware of that.

Just noticed that the listing of Matthew on the main page in "Active Characters" is slighty borked. A [/*] should be enough to solve it. :)OT: My character is not reluctant to fly a Jaguar, I don't really know how the MiG-29 can be that much better than all the other aircraft listed in the OP. But again, that could just be my lack of knowledge on the field.

A 29 can do the Cobra?

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

A 29 can apparently do anything.

[Skythikon]

A 29 can solve all the world's problems. It just chooses not to.

[The Mage]

Weeeeeeeee!

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

Mage, didn't you lose interest.

[The Mage]

I didn't lose interest, I just don't like roleplaying with 7+ RPers. I'll post my sign up sheet if anyone decides to leave, though.

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

Hm..

[Damo021]

Well the CS is taking longer than I thought it would but should not be long now

[Driving Park]

I spent 6-7 hours on mine...it takes a lot of time once you get into plane modifications.

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

I'm thankful to be friends with Silver, otherwise it would've taken much longer.

[Damo021]

Funnily enough thanks to wiki and Silver I think the plane section will take slight less time than my character as I am completely reworking the character from scratch from the original plan after getting new idea :)

[Mateotis]

I managed to write mine in 2 hours or so, the wiki helped me out tremendously with weapon systems and Silver's posts with the mods.

I've had a good general idea of the bio and the others, but I'm still kinda impressed how it turned out. ^^

[Damo021]

Finally the character sheet is done! *dances around* Now to sort out this lovely Draken :)

[Voltus_Ventus]

I picked the MiG-21 because cool, that is all.

I have no problem with people flying the MiG-29 as it is a great aircraft, but there is something that bugs me about it in this RP.The thing that is bothering me about the MiG-29 is that a lot of the characters flying it in this RP just don't make sense to me. Let's take a look at all the submitted characters, their nationalities and chosen planes;-Ariella Yosef makes perfect sense, as she is in the IAF and the Kfir is Iraeli.-Vlad makes sense, as he is a Russian and the MiG-29 is a Soviet/Russian plane and he would thus have the possibility of training in it.-Mathew Tailor makes sense in a way, as he flew with the RAF for a period of time.-While I am a huge fan of the Balalaika, a French Canadian/Swiss pilot flying it doesn't make much sense in my eyes, as neither of those nations fly the MiG-21 and if he flew a F-16 and a Harrier, both western, more modern designs, why would he be suddenly downgraded to a Fishbed?-The Tessaros could potentially make sense as the F-111 is a western design and they're Italian and in the end Italy doesn't have many 3rd or 4th generation aircraft they've flown for the longest time with the UNF, so I let it slide in my mind.-My own character, Nathan Attar, does have a correct aircraft for his nationality, as the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) has flown the plane for many years and a modified plane wouldn't be out of the question if he deserted.-Rose flying a Harrier and is a Brit, so nothing to say there.-Indonesia flies a few F-5's, so the F-20 wouldn't be out of the question at all.-Now here's where I am primarily quite bothered, and I mean no offense to RPC at all, but why would two USAF pilots fly the MiG-29? It just doesn't have any background regarding why American pilots would be flying an ex-Soviet plane either.-I was initially going to complain about Ohira, but then I read the bio and it is explained why she flies the MiG-25, so I'm pretty much fine with it.-Everett has apparently flown with other MiG-29 pilots so it seems alright, and Slovakia flies the MiG-29, so all is good there.It's for these reasons why I think there should definitely be the F-16 as an option, particularly for those who's origins would go better with it. We have the MiG-29 and the F-14 as options and the F-16 was produced in huge amounts so I think it would be alright if we had the plane.And to add to this, it's practically the same problem you mentioned here, Silver;And instead of F-22's and Flankers, we have a bunch of MiG's and reluctant pilots of anything else...Just my two cents though.

The reason is is because those out of all of them seemed to fit my rp style. i could have gone with the tomcats but i kinda liked the look of the MiG's and after heavenfall i am sure the air force is getting any type of aircraft they can to use Personally i would have chosen soemthing diffrent but with the choices given those seemed the best fit for me. sorry if it rustles your feathers at all was not my intention.

[Voltus_Ventus]

My feathers aren't rustled for the simple reason of me not having any. I am a mammal we tend to not have feathers ;).

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

Rafale speaks complete sense, I kind of support his statements.
However the point of this RP is to give freedom of choice, I do believe.

[Mateotis]

A few questions:

I assume that the PCs will stay/go on missions together from the start, right?

Will the pilots be assigned a number in the squadron or will they just be referred to by their nicknames/callsigns?

The GM posts first and everyone posts once until the GM posts again, thus starting a new "round". This is the system the RP will use, right?
