Another World's War

@Pilatus If you want your WSO to be an NPC that's fine, you can always keep most control over them and sketch out their personality, appearance, etc through RP as we go along. They don't necessarily need to be as fully fleshed out as a full character if you don't want. I might take control of them once in a while just to help move things along or point something out, just as the GM - and that might come in handy.

@Slypheed Cecilia looks fine; her personality and bio look great to me so far, but fair enough if you want to change them later too. Please feel free to add her to the characters tab. Since that's everyone who was interested with a character posted, I'll get to work on the introductory IC post to get us moving - hopefully up within a few hours, end of the day at the latest.

Another World's War

BTW, I know it's a two seater. I'll make an addendum for the WSO.

@Pilatus

He looks great otherwise though, and I'm eager to RP with your character too. We have a good spread of personalities and genders so far too, as well as an interesting mix of aircraft to boot.

Another World's War

So I can haz mine put into tabby?

@Foster

Sorry, I didn't see it had changed from WIP to finished. Yuri is fine, sure - he can go into the characters tab

Another World's War

All done here, just need to proofread and I'll post it tomorrow.

@Pilatus

All good - jist waiting for everyone to get their characters up so we can begin.

"Why doesn't it have more rockets?" (was expecting, like, 40... just like BM-21)

"It has enough."

@Foster

Do your lads nick-name them the same as ours? A friend of mine had a brother in the Royal Artillery and they apparently called the MLRS 'grid squre removal service...! I like that one, made me chuckle.

There's mostly naval stuff around these parts, Portsmouth is one of the places on the South Coat of England the RN calls home, which is why we have all the tourist attractions around here mixed in with operational stuff. Not to mention everyone and their grandmothers' dog has a connection to something to do with the navy one way or the other. It's good in some ways, but it tends to be a bit like running the gauntlet if you're on a night out to the pub.
I probably don't see as much as you, as I suppose it's a bit easier to get up-close-and-personal to the land stuff, but it's still cool to see stuff when it comes around, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't one of the attractions for moving to the this area compared to where I used to live, which had absolutely zero interesting features. The only good thing there is the airsoft site in a disused shopping mall.

Land Rovers are a lot more common here. I cycle past a nice ex-military one that evidently belongs to a collector most days I cycle to work. It's still got the old markings and has the radio antenna bases still installed. I'll get a pic one day. There also a Humber Pig that just sits in someone's drive in my home city too.
I think because Portsmouth is a military town, there's quite a lot of stuff like that locally. One of the old defensive forts here was scheduled to become a museum, and they got to the point of bringing in a bunch of vehicles to exhibit, but never opened the museum. Now it's a park and ride for the local hospital, with a Chieftan tank out front, and apparently some more vehicles inside.

Just Bio to go, still using Mig-31

@Pilatus

Sounds good to me! Looking forward to seeing it.

Another World's War

Ask them if you can put a shark-toothed smiley-face on her.

@Foster

Bit of a long way to go back and ask ;) But maybe they'll do something like that if they refurbish them sometime in the future. Either way, it was something different to see. The whole museum was good, actually. Had a lot of unusual stuff for a museum over here, and things I hadn't seen before. A lot of the museums here only have ex-RAF, Army or RN aircraft. Seeing some foreign things was a nice change.

Another World's War

@Foster Yuri is looing good so far! Bulgarian is a nice choice. It's a refreshing to change to DA COMRADE RUSSIA, but still getting to use a lot of the same stuff. And woo, get to play with different culture and such too.

I hadn't heard of the specific MLD variant of the MiG-23 before, it sounds like a good one.

I saw a sad-looking MiG-23 and an accompanying sad-looking MiG-27 at a museum in autumn last year. Admittedly, they only looked sad as they probably needed a bit of TLC from being on display outdoors in T'North of England and its' weather. The fact it was tremendously cold, windy and overcast also didn't help. That makes most things look sad by comparison.

Another World's War

Well, I decided to go with the A-6F, so I have altered my sheet accordingly and I've gained a co-pilot

Another World's War

I think it's somewhere around 2010/2011.
That is hoping I did my math right.

That's approximately about right, I didn't entirely work it out myself, but if we all mutually agree it's around 2011 then that's good enough.

@Massasauga Virginia and Rose are great, I look forward to playing alongside them :) Please post them in the characters tab, you're good to go!

I'm stil umming and ahhing about Ryan. I'm half-tempted to change his aircraft to an A-6 Intruder (alternate timeline, change of world circumstances, aircraft stays in service, etc) as I have a great fondness for the 'Tin Tadpole' and I love ground attack as a role too. Would mean I'd need to create a WSO and change my background a little though, but I don't mind too much. I'll keep thinking on it.
