JGr2/J46_Sturm Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 You are doing a superb job Larner. Keep em coming, the information we get is absolutely great. Thanks for all you do. I wouldn't change a thing 1 1
US63_SpadLivesMatter Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Almost blew my streak twice today! Accidentally attacked a player-flown camel, shot him up and he ended up entering an inverted flat spin. Luckily he recovered as I was flying away. The second time, while hunting AI I was jumped by another camel (zoomed in a little too long!). Luckily his aim was off and I escaped relatively unscathed. We scissored briefly, and I managed a solid burst that set his engine smoking black. He dove for home, and thankfully he must have nursed it back. The quest for my White Max continues!

No.23_Triggers Posted November 20, 2019 Author Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) I'd like to announce a few small changes to the 'Airman's Chronicle' for this week's edition! Thanks to some submissions from recruiting Squadrons, the "SQUADRONS RECRUITING" section has now been given its own section in order to be able to fit more Squadron recruiting ads. I've also added a new section beside the 'News of the Aces', following a blurb written by J28w_Broccoli - I really like the idea of including some other 'short stories' submitted by the community, so I plan to keep this as a feature! Feel free to send me a PM with any short blurbs or stories. Anyway, without further ado: Edited November 20, 2019 by US93_Larner 8
JGr2/J46_Sturm Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Fantastic as always. Thanks for your work Larner. 1
JGr2/J5_Hotlead Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 I love it! That was a nice touch for including the FiF awards in the side bar!
US63_SpadLivesMatter Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 @US93_Furlow is due a Flugpark Pour-Le-Merite. If you carve out 25 of his victories, you will see 13 of those are human opponents. 25 victories, majority human.

If you carve out 25 of his victories, you will see 13 of those are human opponents. 25 victories, majority human. You got me curious [about the delay] so I went to check it by chronological order. The first 25 victories are comprised of 19 AIs and 6 Human players (or something like it). After that, the amount of human players never got close to the amount of AIs. It is currently at 29 AIs and 12 humans. It appears that one victory is missing from the October streak on the sorties. I'm not sure how the parser do the math, but perhaps this is why it hasn't shown it yet. Edited November 21, 2019 by SeaW0lf

No.23_Triggers Posted December 16, 2019 Author Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) I'm keen to get some feedback on what the Chronicle's readers think of the current layout. Is there anything that needs changed? Any info missing, or anything you'd like to see? Drop me a message here or send me a PM! Except for you, Klug We also have one free Squadron Advertisement slot - so any of the new units that are forming, feel free to write up an ad! (I'm looking at you, No.56, No.20, S27b.....) P.S - if you find that your name is missing from the Aces leaderboard, and you believe you should be there, please send me a PM with your parser stats! Edited December 16, 2019 by US93_Larner 2 1

JG1_Butzzell Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 S! The Chronicle is a great community resource. It keeps people updated on so many aspects of the what is going on. Looks great! btw Huns were in a quandary after Larner's crash. One group wanted to give a funeral with full military honors. The other group wanted to return the body under a white flag. While the two sides debated, a local herd of pigs had their fill of him. So sad. 3

I think in addition to posting each new edition, you should edit the first post of the thread and post the newest one there too. It might be worth it to cross post in the RoF forum too, so anyone who wanders over there can be pointed in the direction of the action. Edited December 17, 2019 by J28w-Broccoli 1

ST_Catchov Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 This is great Larner. Professional. Darn it, I wish I could join you guys but can't. Shitty connection, time differences and that. ? Anyway, keep up the good work. 1
US63_SpadLivesMatter Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 I'm around, but waiting for invisibility issues to be addressed. 1
J5_Adam Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 @US93_Larner, thanks for the Jasta Raben mention. I’ve discovered another J18 Raben DV skin and will be posting that along with fixes and corrections to the other ones that everyone has already DLed lol. I’ve started on the DVII skins and have books in the way from Amazon as well as trying to contact Greg Vanwyngarden. To really try and get everything as close as I can with my limited skills. I will repost in the original skinning thread. 2
Cynic_Al Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I wonder if you could clarify just one trivial point. I profess no expertise in German, however I wonder did you really mean to write Shutzstaffel ?

I profess no expertise in German, however I wonder did you really mean to write Shutzstaffel ? Sadly, yes. The Schlachtstaffeln or Schlastas (battle squadrons) grew from the Schutzstaffeln or Schustas (protection squadrons), which were initially used to escort more valuable recon two-seaters before they shifted to the ground attack role. The NSDAP used the term Saal-Schutz and later on Schutzstaffel to denote their chief paramilitary organisation, more commonly known under its initialism. This is only a theory, but seeing how many of the Schustas were indeed Bavarian (the "b" in Schusta/Schlasta 27b stands for exactly that), where the party in question was formed, and how its leader served in the Bavarian Army during the Great War, he may have drawn inspiration from there. File this under swastikas and other common WWI themes ruined by the Nazis.
