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!

You pull around in a tight circle and get on the rookie zero pilot's 6 you open up, and he explodes (+2xp). (zero's worth less because i introduced the raiden fighter, even if the zero came after). Do you:
A) continue hunting B) go find the other 2 zeros C) go find the Jap fleet D) lose altitude
Oops! srry! an srry its taking me awhile to post, im looking at the armor city thread.
You head towards the Task Force, in time to see the two zero's diving straight at a destroyer. You think there rookie divebombers, as they havnt pulled up yet. You've just witnessed a kamikazi attack, or divine wind. The destroyer is ablaze, and men are abandoning ship. Another destroyer pulls up near an begins taking on survivors. Do you:
A) guard the survivors B) continue hunting C) go in low, looking for survivors D) go back towards the Jap fleet
You circle around the survivors, until all of them are picked up. Your presence scared away any Jap planes that wanted to strafe them. After the survivors have been picked up, you leard over your radio that air support is needed on the beach. Do you:
A) go to the landing beach. B) continue guarding the fleet against future kamikazi attacks C) go to the Jap airfield
You pull arouond on the zero's 6, and he attempts to evade you by weaving in an out of clouds. You start shooting at him, and he dives into a cloud. You start spratying the clound spradicaly, and see a belch of black smoke, then an explosion (+4xp, +1bonus xp). Do you:
A) go back to the airfield B) continue attacking jap positions C) guard the task force D) go to the landing beach
You pull up out of your run, and find that you have a Zero on your tail! Traces start to whizz by your window (-2hp). your plan is starting to belch out black, oily smoke, making a signal to other jap planes in the area that your hit. Another zero heads your way, attracted to you like a fly to rotten meat. Your rear gunner finnaly gets a fix on the tailing zero, and opens up with a few burst, causing the zero's right wing to fly off, and the zero crashes into the sea (+3xp). The second zero is closing in fast, so do you:
A) open up the side door and let you and your gunner bail out B) try and out run the zero C) wheel your plane over and head straight at the zero --- Name: Justin Age: 19 Ship: Enterprise Rank: Pilot Class: Dive-Bomber Pilot Lvl 1: 15/20 Exp HP: 20/20 Perks: Veteran Plane: Curtiss SB2C Helldiver Weapons: Machine Guns, Light Bombs, Rear Gunner
You circle around the task force, and watch out for Jap planes. You glance up, and see 4 Aichi Val's! They begin to make a dive, and there heading straight for the Enterprise! Do you:
A) attack the lead plane B) attack the rear plane C) attack the middle plane(s) D) fire sporadicaly at them
You start to attack the lead Plane as US flak begins to pop up around them. You let 'er rip with machine gun fire, and the aichi val explods in mid-air (+3xp). Flack destroys 2 of the aichi vals, and the final one drops a bomb on the Enterprise's deck. It lands on the center of the deck, bounces off and lands nearby-with out going off. Its a dud! A group of marines roll the dud and push it over the side, while flak destroys the remaining Aichi val. Some US planes are starting to come in from their mission, and you make a sucessful landing. --- You find out about your new mission, the Solomon Isles. Your job is to:
