I went sailing today...

Wow! It's been almost three and a half months since I went sailing. In fact, the last time I went sailing I was the Royal Navy CO. Since then, I've played Axis for a week, was the XO, then CO of the AHC Training Corps, played with the rifle for over 300 missions straight, and have now finally started playing the game normally (enough) for once! So, today I decided to jump in a ship and hit the waters. First thing I noticed was the pretty neat 8km vis range. Much nicer! And the fact that the engines are slower to start/stop, which is more realistic (woot!).

I engaged 3 EDD's on my mission, and 6 or so EA, from Oostende to Vliss, and then back to Zeebrugge. All 3 EDD's sunk (not by me - Downu, Fruitgum and Rook were with me), and I managed to shoot down 3 EA (2x109 and 1x110). All in all I had fun, and it brought back a lot of memories, but man, time on mission was large, ammo was wasted really quick, and only brief action there.

I've become to much of a ground pounder/flyboy to return Navy just yet, hehehe.
