Thanks Hayden, looks great as usual

EDIT : Is that Charlie Company/Lance that i see on the left shoulder?

VFA-41, the Black Aces.

[Jack Gallows]

He's put a real squadron on every single 'mech he's done, Tomcatters (Atlas), Sluggers (what the current Jolly Rogers were before they became the Rogers, it's on the Centurion) Pukin Dogs (Hunchback), Tophatters (Dragon), Wolfpack (Jenner), Black Cats (Catapult). Black Aces (Commando.)

Dang, blast from my past... both the Jolly Rogers and the Black Aces were on the CVN-68 Nimitz when i was aboard in the 80s. HOWEVER, the Jolly Rogers were VF-84! VF-103 (originally "Sluggers") picked up the name in 1995 when VF-84 was deestablished.

Interestingly, VF-84 (at the time going by "Vagabonds" and flying the ultra sexy F8 Crusader) adopted the Jolly Rogers name in 1960. But they also were not the first... Both the previous incarnation of VF-84 (which was deestablished in 1945), and VF-17 carried the Jolly Rogers name simultanously for a couple of years.

Yea noticed the VFA 41 when i took another look at it, also never noticed the slugger on the Centurion until you said something

That's pretty awesome, especially if he can pull off sorting them by 'mech type like he said he wanted in thread.

That's a sweet looking ride Jack, I think you guys have the best color scheme I've seen so far, even considering canon sources.

Have to give credit where it's due, the inspiration for the unit already exists, and Hayden makes it all possible.

There's some nice canon camo/colorization, but thanks for the kind words. It's really turned out great and just looks so incredible. I can't want to see if we'll eventually get to use it in game in some kind of update.
