You are right about Condor being the Brazilian version of Airborne.
Should I go this route or keep my original line-up? I did this as a wim, but I do like it. To me it explains Sky Patrol better, I replaced the Sky Raven w/ fighter planes, which also keeps the pilots in the Joe team smaller. The Sky HAVOC w/ the RHINO, kept the Paratroopers as a Assault Force who could operate the Sky Hawks / Ghost Hawks @ a good number of 12. |

How was if set up before? I think Sky patrol is it own sort of A -Team with Cloud Burst and Star Duster and Manleh. The Joe Air Wing should be a separate entity and the RHINO should fall in with the Urban Teams or Experimental weapons teams.

Your right, Sky Patrol was a 16-man team, the Rhino was w/ the Fire Support Team under Battle Corps & I had two Air Wings. One under Payload @ the Pitt & one under Ace aboard the Flagg.
As far as my Top Brass they are still that way. Nothing changed. This was just me being bored. Was @ home recovering from a dental appointment. Lol Last edited by Darkhawk75; 12-04-2012 at 04:47 AM.. |

Apparently I am still determined to change Sky Patrol aound a bit. I liked the 12-man Assault Team I did {the one I posted a few days ago}, so I am keeping that. But will be changing out Condor w/ Kestrel.
I am adding the RHINO to this team as a support vehicle w/ its own crew. To me it seems like a perfect fit w/ Sky Patrol. The crew will be under SSG Condor {who i have as a Forward Artillery Observer} and consist of Glenda the Helicopter's pilot, Cannonball {naturally as the Driver} & Hot Shot {Renegades Ripcord as the Helicopter gunner}. Then I was thinking of having Starduster & Manleh who can deploy from one of the side compartments, something similar to a mobile JUMP pad. Barrel Roll & Cloudburst can deploy out the other side in the Air Attack Gliders. They could be like a Ground based Support Team for the Assault Team. Again to me this could explain why the original Sky Patrol had a HAVOC. never made sense to me. Let me know what you think. I don't know if it is my Vicodin that is making this seem perfect to me or what. Lol |

Now that I like. Although I have no love for the SHARC. Probably the worst vehicle of all.

As ridiculous as it seems, it's the stupid canopy that always breaks, that irks me the most. Not to mention that if there was room to seat two joes it would be so much cooler. But as it stands I can't stand it. No offense Darkhawk or anyone else who likes this POS.

To a certain extent I like the SHARC, but it's a poorly designed vehicle. How does the driver/pilot operate the vehicle? How can he open the canopy underwater and not short out the electronics? Personally, I like the ROC vesion better. It makes sense as a mini-sub-sneak in, launch a torpedo, and sneak out.

I have no love for the SHARC. I used it to fill that corner. In my top brass, i use it w/ the naval team. Even then it was more of me listing it to appease its fans.

I llook back and laugh that as a child, the SHARC would sometimes get in dogfights with a Firebat.
What possible qualifications does an enlisted deep sea diver have to fly a plane of any kind?
