His Majesty's Dragons: World at War

[Dark Silver]

That's because he's Canadian.

Everyone knows Canadian's are bassackwards.

Sure it is but a 20mm just puts a 20mm ( or for you Yanks less than an inch wide) hole in a wingsail and a few of those is only a minor impairment to flying. You want to take out a dragon's wing then you're really going to have to rip it up, which is again more than a few hits with a 20mm. Wings are, however, big targets.

They may be big targets, but they're also a lot harder to hit than any other part of a dragon's body because they move the most, and are the easiest to move.

Depends on the angle.

[LadyTevar]

Forget hitting the wingSAIL. Hit the Alar bone supporting the sail and it crumples. Hit the shoulder joint, make it painful to flap.

[dragnl0rd]

Remember the original question was regarding hitting the wing with gunfire... unless we gain the ability to stop time, I doubt I'll ever make a shot at something as precise as a specific bone in a rapidly moving object, regardless of angle, while in aerial combat.

[Dark Silver]

spray and pray

Pray a lot.

Like 95% of your available time of the day better be spent praying to make that shot.

[rhoenix]

Seriously. If the option you're considering has chances that are only modified by begging and prayer, it probably isn't an option worth aiming for.

If you want to hit a specific body part, normally you have to be in knife(claw)-fighting range.

[LadyTevar]

I thought you were having the Winchester attack him.

[dragnl0rd]

I'm not so stupid as to try that again until alacritas is better rested and better armed.

[Hawkwings]

Sorry, I was busy graduating these past few days. I'll get a post up today. Also, I'll be travelling next week, so I may get a single post in next week as well.

[dragnl0rd]

gratz on graduating!

[Comrade Tortoise]

Congrats!

Majored in?

My degree is in aerospace engineering. I've got one more year of school left, and I'll be finishing up with a Master's in the same.

Anyone got ideas for Emily and poor waterlogged Luna? Unless I can post Luna waking up and doing something, I seem to be stuck and in need of help.

[LadyTevar]

I don't know about you, Hawkwing, but getting clawed up usually wakes me up really damn fast.

Post her awake.

I am fairly certain she would have become un-stunned by now. Other than that, are double the mass of the Nimbus and float really well. You cant move around but to basically doggy paddle, but you still have huge claws and teeth and even an immobile animal is dangerous to a predator.

At this point is kind of like "single orca vs grey whale", save that in this case, the grey whale has huge claws and can counter attack from all sides. At the very least, you can make the Nimbus think twice, and if lucky, grab on and savage. In a grapple, the big advantage of it being aquatic is reduced significantly.

Angry Nimbus is angry?

[Comrade Tortoise]

Angry Nimbus is angry?

He should be. I created his breed.

[frigidmagi]

Sorry guys been at Comic Con this whole weekend, got alot of books, talked to alot of authors (was strangely told I could do a good fantasy comic). Will have a post up today.

[Charon]

*looks at post*

See ladies and gentlemen. That is a bad way to start combat...

*looks to the as yet unengaged special* Help! I promise I'll at least keep Albatros busy after that. No promises on what condition I will be in after I am done playing distraction though.

[Dark Silver]

how about I somehow lure the Nemesis over to you're end of the combatting. You could take him on, and I'll fry Albatross for you?

Admittedly, I have no idea where you are....or if I could outrun the Bastard in the ensuing flight......

[frigidmagi]

Dude if I turn towards you I'm offering 2 dragons my backside. One of whom is the fucking Red Baron. I'll get to you as soon as I can.

[Charon]

DS, you are way too far away to be able to make it to me.

Magi, I know. Best of luck, I'll do my best to hold out until you can help me out.

[Dark Silver]

Well, my offer was more in jest than anything Charon.

I'm pretty sure I'm screwed unless someone else can reach me. Which may be either Frostfell of Cap.

Also: I'll get a post up ASAP...the last week or so's been a bitch for me.

[frigidmagi]

Just keep running and keep zapping DS, the longer you can avoid a grapple the better.
