This is a remake, since the last 'Flying Tigers' was filled with 5 pages of post unrelated to the content of the game. The SAME PEOPLE will have to register AGAIN. I will NOT accept any players other than those who signed up in the previous thread. __________ The sequel to 'Flyboys: The Pacific' __________ Three of the Five spots are reserved by Parsat, Zlith, and Afroninja. The other Two spots will serve on a first come, first serve basis. __________ Flying Tigers, the story of Claire Chennault and His American Voulunteers, 1941-1942. Enjoy.
American Volunteer Group(AVG) Story:
You left for China because of three things: Better pay, Easy pickins', and the Scenery. Little did you know that in 6 months, you would be fighting Tojo as they attempted to take over China, and reach hands with Nazi Germany in the Middle East, to make their diplomatic affair physical. The only thing that stands between Tojo taking over China, India, and making it to the Middle East are a handful of pilots, and their Curtiss P-40 Tomahawks.
Chinese Air Force (CAF) Story:
The Generalissimo (Chaing Kai-Shek) built up an airforce to prevent Tojo from gaining anymore ground in China. The Republic Lancer P43 Fighter Plane became the standard airplane of the CAF. As Tojo gained more and more ground, the CAF lost more and more of its planes. You become on of the last pilots in the CAF to help push the Japs back into the sea.
Royal Air Force (RAF) Story:
After the Disaterous Retreat across Burma by the British Army, your the last RAF squadron left in Burma. Flying the Hurricane Mk.IIb, your the last line for the British in Burma. Without you, the AVG and the CAF will be hard pressed by the Japs. __________ Registration
Name: (simple enough, I hope) Age: (19-36[based on actual ages of AVG]) Force: (AVG, CAF, or RAF) Rank: Pilot (this will increase with kills) Side Arm: Colt 45 (allows you to continue fighting if yu crash, land, etc) Plane: (see above story) Lvl: 1 0/20 XP HP: 20/20 Armor: (see below) Fuel: (you have 7 points to spend on armor and speed. more armor means you take less damage, but can stay up less. More fuel means your faster and can stay up longer, but take more damage) Perks: (pick one, see below) Plane Weapons: 50 cal MGs (4)(more weapons can be bought upon leveling up, same with stronger, more of...) Perks: For now, you can only pick one perk. More perks will be availible later on. __________ Perks:
Self-sealing Fuel tanks: Your fuel tanks will seal up if they are hit. Useful if you reley on fuel, rather than armor.
Reflector-Sight: Your equipped with this better sight, rather than the standard 'tube' sight from WWI.
Cannible Mechanics: Your Mechanics will repair your plane faster, taking needed parts from other planes.(the mechanics wont eat you either :P)
Exhaust Covers: Your exhaust pipes have a cover, making you harder to spot, especially at night.
Long Patrol: Your plane is more economical, so you can travel further on the same amount of gas.
Mixed rounds: Your ammo is upgraded from standard rounds (1 tracer, 4 normal rounds) to the improved 'mixed rounds' (1 tracer, 1 incendiary, 3 normal rounds) that does more damage
Umbrella insurance: Your parrachute comes with a spare parachute, incase the first one fails. Useful if you take alot of chances...or are stupid
Porcupine Formation: You know how to better attack Jap bombers when they move into the infamous 'Porcupine Formation __________ How is 'Flying Tigers' Differnt from 'The Pacific'?
1. There will always be one choice out of four or five in which you die or get wounded. If you happen to choose that one, don't worry, I'll give you the option to parachute out a total of 3 times. After that, it's game over. War is hell, and people die. I have to say that some of you chose some fatal mistakes in the last one *looks at TSL3*, but I let them slide. Not anymore.
2. You may have noticed the Armor/Fuel tabs. These can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. More fuel means you can out run the enemy in dire situations, but more armor means you can take less damage. Play to your strengths, because the enemy plays to your weaknesses.
3. You can be killed when your not in a plane. You may have noticed the 'sidearm' tab. This means that you can still fight when your not in a plane. You may be attacked by a wild animal, or be captured by angry chinese farmers when your plane goes down.
4. Remember that you are not limited to the choices I give you. There will almost always be an answer marked "Other," where you can do something different or even do two actions I've given you, provided they don't contradict. Surprise me with your tactical skill! If you are especially creative, you may be rewarded with a new weapon or even a perk. __________ Random fact that mostly pertains to the tread, but actually does not relate in anyway to this, or anyother, thread.
Pilots used to joke about the chinese writing on the parachuts, saying that the chinese writing translated to: 'Please return this parachute to the factory if it fails to open'. The pilots aptly named it 'Umbrella Insurance'. __________ Special Thanks To:
TSL3: For making me realize that i was getting to soft on you guys, and that kamikazing the Soryu is considered stupid by most people.
Parsat: For mentioning the idea of making a fighter plane based RPG, for letting me use a bunch of his ideas, for giving me a bunch of ideas, and for making me relize that i was getting soft.
Daniel Ford: For writing the book "Flying Tigers" that gave me the idea to do this RPG

You race across the air field and run into the hangers. You see Ki-27s bombing the strip (runway), and some hayabusa's begin strafing the hangers. The one to the far left explodes when a fuel tank from a tomahawk explodes. The Ki-27's begin another run, but this time on the hangers. The one to your right collapses, then explods, and becomes a rageing inferno. Ammo begins to explods, and soon the hanger you are in catches on fire. The structural supports groan then collapse. Ground mechanics, after repairing the remaining two hangers, sift through the remains, and find your charred body among the wreckage.

Pick another choice, please.
A) leap into the nearby ditch B) run back into your barracks C) run the the hangers and try and save a plane or two (personel death) D) roll up into the fetal position on the ground.
(Hint: More than one option can get you killed. If thee more tan one, the first will have a 100% chance of killing you, the second 50% chance. I roll a dice to decide whether you live or die)

Aw, ouch! Nah, jking
You run back into your barracks, and stand in the frame of the door. The doorframe is strongest place in the building, and least likely to collapse if the barracks were hit. You stand in the doorframe, wondering if the building will get hit. After waiting what seems an eternity, the all clear sounds, and you go outside to inspect the damage. Do you:
A) Go to whats left of the hangers B) Go to HQ C) Go to the airstrip D) Go into town --- Name: Wileix Silver Age: 19 Force: RAF Rank: Pilot Side Arm: Webley Revolver Plane: Hurricane Mk.IIb Lvl: 1 0/20 XP HP: 20/20 Armor: 4 Fuel: 3 Perks: Manhunter, Long Patrol Plane Weapons: 50 cal MGs (4) Lives: 2

Zlith/Vise, you already have a side arm, so yea...
You race into the barracks, and see another guy, Ryan, standing in the doorway leading to the other section of barracks. The only other doorframe is the one leading out side, so you hide under your bed. Something crawls over your arm, but you flick it off. The all clear sounds, and you crawl outside to inspect the damage. Stepping over the remains of the man cut in half by shrapnell, you head towards the:
A) see whats left of the hangers hangers B) go to the airstrip C) go to HQ D) head into town --- Name: Wileix Silver Age: 19 Force: RAF Rank: Pilot Side Arm: Webley Revolver Plane: Hurricane Mk.IIb Lvl: 1 0/20 XP HP: 20/20 Armor: 4 Fuel: 3 Perks: Manhunter, Long Patrol Plane Weapons: 50 cal MGs (4) Lives: 2
You dash back into the barracks, and see Ryan huddling in the door frame leading to the other part of the barracks, anf Vise hiding under his bunk. You copy his example and crawl under you bunk, and stay there till the all clear sounds. Expecting the worst you go outside and head towards the:
A) see whats left of the hangers hangers B) go to the airstrip C) go to HQ D) head into town --- Name: Ryan Age: 24 Force: RAF Rank: Pilot Side Arm: Webley Revolver Plane: Hurricane Mk.IIb Lvl: 1 0/20 XP HP: 20/20 Armor: 3 Fuel:4 Plane Weapons: 50 cal MGs (4) Perks: Mixed Rounds Lives: 2
You walk over to the HQ, and it looks fine from the outside, except for some broken windows. you walk inside, and see papers everywhere, tables overturned, and genearal chaos everywhere. Apparently a bomb had hit behind it, blowing the rear wall off. It was a close miss. Theres nothing more you can do, so you head towards the:
A) back to your barracks B) see the remains of the hangers C) go to the airstrip D) hitch a ride into town --- Name:Justin Cole Age: 19 Force: AVG Rank: Pilot Side Arm: Colt 45 Plane:Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk Lvl: 1 0/20 XP HP: 20/20 Armor: 4 Fuel: 3 Perks: Exhaust Covers Plane Weapons: 50 cal MGs (4) Lives: 3
You hear the thud of bombs, and you follow Ryan, Vise, and Wiliex into the barracks, but the only place to hide is under a bunk. You slide under, and crawl back until your up against the wall. The all clear sounds, so you walk out side with Ryan, Vise, and Wiliex to inspect the damage. Do you:
A) see whats left of the hangers hangers B) go to the airstrip C) go to HQ D) head into town --- Name: Patrick Doyle Age: 20 Force: RAF Rank: Pilot Side Arm: Webley Revolver Plane: Hurricane Mk.IIb Lvl: 1 0/20 XP HP: 20/20 Armor: 4 Fuel: 3 Perks: Mixed Rounds Plane Weapons: 50 cal MGs (4) Lives: 3
Seeing the bombs raining down, you leap into the ditch, and almost land on a ground mechanic. It seems alot of other guys had the same idea. Shrapnell pings around you, and somewhere off to your left you hear somebody scream, but you remain unscathed. The all clear sounds, and you climb out of the ditch, wet, but alive. Do you:
A) see whats left of the hangers hangers B) go to the airstrip C) go to HQ D) head into town --- Party in the Barracks! W00t! -_- --- (Hint: Priortiy targets are always the first to get destroyed)
Name: Ryan Age: 24 Force: RAF Rank: Pilot Side Arm: Webley Revolver Plane: Hurricane Mk.IIb Lvl: 1 0/20 XP HP: 20/20 Armor: 3 Fuel:4 Plane Weapons: 50 cal MGs (4) Perks: Mixed Rounds Lives: 2
You walk over to the airstrip, and see that its been riddled with large craters. Still, theres enough room to take off, but you dont know how many planes survived...if ANY planes survived. You watch as a few personell fill in a crater with grout, then call out for something... You loose interest, and turn to leave. Do you:
A) Head to whats left of the hangers B) Head into the town C) Go back to your barracks D) Walk around
