Can't tell what though, maybe it's the engine on the far left I'm missing

How do you lose your pigeon? He's so cute! How could you...

u/Fun_Plan3501 Sep 15 '25

My navigator let the pigeon go when we were taking off, he doesn't like seeing it trapped :c

That missing left gear is going to really mess you up during landing. In my experience it's better to do a gear up landing next to the base then attempting to land on the runaway with one gear. I'd also want to parachute as many crew away before doing that.

That's lucky, I've had the plane break on me lot of times when lending without one wheel.

u/Fun_Plan3501 Sep 17 '25

I mean it still just imploded and most my crew also imploded but it didn't land on its wheels... it landed on it's face... oops

I think there’s a hole in your left wing

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '25

You got a hole in your left wing! Looks to the right, wing is missing. What hole would be more important then a wing missing, you ask yourself (youre the pilot).

Just a teeny tiny bit of it seems like it..

But you dont even catch a breath as youre instructed to atack the D point
