Off Topic / Re: Help me identify this ARTILLERY shell.
« on: May 27, 2015, 12:10:06 AM »
I'm no shell specialist, but it appears to be missing its driving band, and it's cap/ballistic cap if it had one to begin with. Some background on when and where your grandfather served would be useful.
You should test to see what kind of shell it is by putting it in your oven and turning the oven up to 600°. If it detonates then at least you know it wasn't inert.

The incoming missile warning buzzes in my helmet.
"Hawkeye punching out, I can't take another hit!"
I pull the ejection handle, and hope I don't get sliced in half by my pursuer.
He's not exploding again.
"forget," I lament to myself.
"I pull back closer to the

I jink, drop countermeasures, and curse my luck. I dive to get away.
"AWACS, is Comro available? My engines fighting me so I can't dogfight. Any RGM's you could put together for me?"

I gun the engines and follow the Rafale. I fire an HSM in angry pursuit.

I hear the spike and decide to break. I'll get that bomber soon enough.
"Someone else take the bomber, I'm defending," I report.
I evade and drop countermeasures.

I fire two RGM's at the heavy bomber closest to me.

Jaakko can be heard trying to contact you even over the jammer's static.
The rounds smack the water. Between the changing velocities of both vessels and the waves, only one round hits the boat, but it is stopped by the Kevlar side skirt.
I fire the SPAS in semi auto, aiming for the RHIB floats.

"Maneuvering to position,"
I turn and begin adjusting my aspect to the bombers. It may be a while until I'm in a decent position to use these RGMs.

"Moving,"
A maneuver onto the flight lead's tail. The AWACS' radar feed merges with mine, and I can see the target on the edge of radar range.

You fail brutally because there is nothing to hack. The rest of the team rolls their eyes and conspires to have you put into a shame box.
I Fire at the "carrier" ship with the 37mm gun.
It is not visible from behind the cargo ship yet.
Speaking of which, the cargo net is thrown aboard, and the last of our guys on the ship repel themselves back onto the PT boat. The helmsmen guns the engine and turns away from the ship.
You have a good view and see that the ships are a couple miles out. A third and fourth RHIB boat are chasing the PT Boat. Each is armed with several deck mounted MGs, the largest being twin 50's.

You hit one man on one of the two RHIB boats that are approaching. It turns back.
The second one holds its course. This one has troops aboard.
The "carrier" ship with the RHIB boats falls in behind the cutter. The deck gun is pointed at the cargo ship, probably waiting to fire on the PT.
