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!

The USS Yorktown, the Navies' State-Of-The-Art Carrier. Enemy attacks could come from the Air, Sea, or Below. Your duty to your ship, and your country, requires that you protect your ship, and the Task Force. If that means fiving up your life, then so be it. In the Task force, one hand washes the other, The Yorktown providing combat air patrols, and the perimeter ships providing defences agains the enemy onslaught.
Your below decks when the air raid siren sounds. You race out onto the decks and into your Buffalo. After a sucessful take off, you:
A) patrol the skys around the task force B) head towards the Jap fleet C) escort some torpedo planes you see below you D) escort some dive bombers you see above you
You head back towards Enterprise, but see some fleeing Jap planes. There too far away, but you see some Buffalos close by heading towards them, machineguns blazing. Do you:
A) attack the Japs! B) keep heading towards the Enterprise C) advanced tactics (high risk of failure)
You escort the dive bombers, and the skys are still relatively clear due to the fact that the japs are too busy with the fighets and torpedo planes below you to see you at 25,000 feet. You make it over the Jap fleet, and see the Horyu sinking. The dive bombers begin there run, so you:
A) join them in the attack B) lose altitude, watching for zeros C) advanced tactics (high risk of failure) --- Name: Justin Age: 19 Ship: Enterprise Rank: Pilot Class: Dive-Bomber Pilot Lvl 1: 10/20 Exp HP: 13/20 Perks: Veteran Plane: Anti-Aircraft Gun (Temporarily) Weapons: Machine Gun
You continue towards the carrier, and make a sucessful landing. You find out your plane's eletrical systems are damaged, which means that the exposed wire could start a fire. While your plane if fixed, your assigned to an anti-aircraft gun on the port side.
You circle around, descending as you do, and spot a few Zero's returning from chasing the last group of dive bombers. They rise up to meet the dive bombers, but fail to see you. This is a golden oppertunity, so you:
A) Aim for the lead Plane B) Aim for the center Plane C) Aim for the last Plane D) Wing behind the Zero's, and get on there 6'
E) Advanced Tactics: Skill Drop (high risk of failure)
You scream towards the lead plane, opening up at the last second. You hit his cockpit, and you see red stain the glass. His plane spirals out of control (+2xp), and the other 2 Zero's see you; but its too late to do anything. The divebombers are alerted to the zero's presence by your attack, and finish the other two off. Do you:
A) aid the dive bombers in there attack B) conintue patrolling the skys C) desend towards the Jap fleet, preparing to strafe the ships D) head back towards your carrier
You descend upon the Jap fleet, and soon, multicolered burst of Jap Flak begin to appear around you (-2hp). Suddenly, your plane is rocked with a horrific explosion, and your fuel gage takes a sudden dip (fuel tank hit, -5hp). Do you:
A) continue your attack B) parrachute out of the plane C) head towards your carrier D) aim your plane at a Jap carrier (Soryu), and parrachute out at the last second
You aim your plane at the Soryu's Deck and guide it until its sure not to miss. You bail out and watch as your plane hits the Soryus Deck and explodes in a fireball. You've rendered the Soryu useless as planes cant takeoff or land as the deck has a huge hole in it (+5xp). However, your joy is short lived as your in the center of the Jap fleet and the only thing keeping you afloat is your MAE vest. The next descision may verywell be your last. Choose wisely. Do you:
A) try and grab the attention of a passing US plane B) try and remain unnoticed C) drown yourself
