Post by Freyja »

Another Sunday of New And Exciting Mistakes™ has concluded, leaving me with the honour of thanking each and every one of you for your allowing us to make all this fun happen. 18 folk showed up today, and for that I couldn't be more pleased.

Today I learned that vehicle crew is vulnerable to even small-ish threats. Our tank's gunner and commander were taken out by small HEAT missiles by a helicopter, seemingly leaving the tank without a dent in the process. At least I got to try my hand at pulling triple duty in an MBT which was delightfully stressful. I can definitely see the advantage of having dedicated crew, as you feel very vulnerable when you have no driver to get you out of a tight spot, and no commander to spot for you.

Runlist: Remember to check out our lovely audio-visual information registry over at this here place!

As well as that there is of course our good friend The R3 Mission Replay Sysetm, which knows if you've been bad or if you've been nice. The recordings themselves are really freaking neat-o and demonstrate just how easy it is not to see someone in camouflage.

There is also the everlasting Leadership Programme which is your way in for trying out commanding a mission in a pre-planned way. If you think you have what it takes to lead us to victory, but would like a bit more time to plan, as well as the ability to ask people for advice, This is it.

And if you want to be recognizably folk-y and have the little tractor on your shoulder or on the side of your tank then you can sign up on the squad tag whotsit today! It's totally free! Probably!

Speaking of tractors on your shoulder, get a tractor on your real life human shoulder today! Only at the Folk ARPS Patch for Your Human Meat Store, available now in the default colour and a tacticool The Default Colour A Second Time. Get yours while stock lasts, half the money gathered will go to the server maintenance, and the other half will go to the UNHCR (who are just, supremely fantastic people).

Nice session overall. I wish I survived longer in most of the sessions. However, being a tank driver is a lot of fun now thanks to the new tank DLC.

Lost Sector: Krya Nera [Co-op]
I was a tank driver. After figuring out the controls and realizing, the Rhino is wheeled and not tracked, I managed to turn 180 degrees and we started the mission. Everything went fine, then we got hit by an RPG or something.

I remember the darkness. I had no NVGs and as an AT I was tasked with shooting the enemy armored vehicle. Maybe you can spot it next to the Flare:

Operation March - Day 1 [Co-op]
I nearly made to the end. We had a very close encounter with an IFV at about 10:00.
Unfortunately in the end we didn't make it.
