If they do, then this thread needs more Anti-aircraft.

[Swat 3]

since we are over powered we need more threats that happen to us

of course that means we have a larger chances of dying but they have clones!

[Qwepir]

or just not be overpowered
i dont think you realize how silly and suey you look when you say "i flawlessly kill the bad guy"
maybe instead of self-aggrandizing stuff like

I engage the last bandit of the first batch and quickly dispose of him after a few bursts of my cannon.

try "I tail the bandit and fire on him with the cannon" and leave it up to the DM (or the dice) to decide whether or not you actually kill them

or instead of cringeworthy eyesores like

Obviously out of revenge for his friend, a bandit locks onto me and fires a missile. I deploy chaff, and do a high-g maneuver in order to get on his tail. I lock onto him and fire a missile. He deploys chaff, and my missile swerves off and ahead of him, promptly exploding. He swerves, too focused on avoiding the cloud. I fire my second missile, and it successfully hits him. It hit the fuel tank, because the whole plane explodes. "1 left."

You stop after "I try to get on his tail" and wait for the DM to respond whether your attempt was successful before you go full blowhard and write a resume about how good you are at shooting missiles.

Qwepir obviously has the biggest snake here

[Qwepir]

i call it bofors because its 311mm long and loves to ruin aspiring pilots' days

[Swat 3]

qwepir, its called detail :)

[Qwepir]

Actually it's called self-fellating.

Pwnt. But isn't that what everyone does in RP's like this?

"everyone does it so it's okay"

[Qwepir]

True, but I'm not seeing it on as big a scale from mlockha or gojira, for example. They seem to at least break up their posts a bit, like

I fire my missile at the other enemy plane.

followed by

Finally, Obrad's missile hits the middle plane, as the altitude of the middle plane falls, and eventually makes it crash.

sometime later in a separate post. This allows the DM/GM/what-have-you to let the NPC opponents actually react to danger and make it more than just a turkey shoot.

This is the ideal way to RP this sort of thing in a rules-light scenario like this, otherwise you might as well just write a book or something about how your super awesome pilot killed all the bads by himself.

qwepir, its called detail :)

At the end of the day I'm all for detail until it gets to the point where I'm just saying "Here go shoot some fodder because they mean nothing and then sometimes I'll throw a super plane at you and then you'll win anyways"
Starting from here, the possibility of your character being shot down and dying permanently is going to be very, very real. There's a memorial section in the OP for a reason.

Also from here on out I'm making Qwepir a moderator because blow me. Missions he assigns will be sidemissions and will not pertain to the main plotline which I have already more or less written. Hopefully this will make the RP more interesting and actually give you guys people to do. In addition this will allow me to space out the main plot and allow me to actually think about what the forget I'm doing.

Yay no more fighting a brick wall.
