Incase you havnt noticed, i have mad 2 RPG's in the past, 1 (Dead Legions) went well, but i had to pass it off. The other, (Stalingrad: Operation Barbarossa) died due to lack of interest. I will try to make this the best RPG i have done yet, and dont worry if i dont respond soon, i will eventually and there is good reason!
Thanks, Mav --- This is one of the few 'flying/plane' RPG's! I think it may even be the first! --- Please bear with me if carrier names, and plane names dont match up with their respective year. This is for games sake. --- If this prooves popular, I MAY do a Flyboys: Europe, Flyboys: Battle of Britain, and others --- There will not be any more notices after this --- Story Your walking down Main street in your tiny town, and happen to pass a Navy Recruiting store. You walk in, and, after a long talk, you join. This was a while back, and now you've just passed flight school. With your wings shining on your lapel, you say your goodbyes and prepare to fight the Japs!

In the Task force, one hand washes the other, The Hornet providing combat air patrols, and the perimeter ships providing defences agains the enemy onslaught.
You board the gangplank, and soon the USS Hornet leaves port. After a long, restless period, you catch a glance of B-25 Mitchell bombers leaving for the Doolittle Raid. Finally, you get your first taste of combat: Midway. Your commanders expected a strike here, and they were right. Your task force consist of The Hornets's sister ships, the Lexington and the Yorktown. After leaving the Briefing room, you hop into your Buffalo. After making a sucessful take off, you:

Tsl, the veteran perk takes up all perk slots, so either get rid of I.D. Book, or pick another perk besides veteran.
Blehhh, i highly suggest being a torpedo pilot, as we have 3 fighters and 1 dive bomber --- Name: Paul Age: 19 Ship: Hornet Rank: Pilot Class: Fighter Pilot Lvl 1: 0/20 Exp HP: 20/20 Perks: Veteran Plane: Brewster F2A Buffalo Weapons: Machine Guns,Light Bombs

A) gain altitude, diving in on the Japs B) lose altitude, coming up underneath the Jap patrol C) charge straight into the pack, machine guns blazing D) turn around, drawing fire E) other --- Name: Greg Age: 19 Ship: Hornet Rank: Pilot Class: Fighter Pilot...

When the Japs bomb Pearl, your carrier heads to the pacific via the panamal cannal. After a long, boring, mindless journey, your told that the carrier and her escort are heading toward Midway. Soon, the time comes, and you hop into your Avenger. After a sucessful take off, you:
A) join the other torpedo planes B) break off from formation
please post your stats when you post! some one always forgets... --- Name: Kippers Age: 19 Ship: Enterprise Rank: Pilot Class: Torpedo Pilot Lvl: 1 (0/20) HP: 20/20 Perks: Inflatable Raft, I.D. Book Plane: Grumman TBF Avenger. Weapons: Machine Guns, Light Bombs, Torpedo, Rear Gunner
You join the other torpedo planes, and when all are in the air, you head towards the japanese fleet. Approximately 3 miles from the Jap fleet, you meet resistance in the form of Zero's. There coming straight at you, and you need to do something! Do you:
A) stay in formation B) gain altitude C) alert your rear gunner to the threat D) turn around
You break formation and gain altitude. You alert your rear gunner to the threat, and he begins firing at the Zeros. He shoots down one (+3xp!) before they pass underneath your plane. Most of the zero's continue towards the main body of torpedo planes, but two Zeros stay behind, and get underneath your plane, shooting at you. Tracers pass by (-2hp), and your gunner cant shoot at them, as he'll shoot your tail off. You need to act fast, or risk being shot down!
A) tell your gunner to shoot anyways B) decrease altitude C) loop behind them D) head straight up E) advanced tactics (high risk of failure)
