If anyone cares to see the Area 8 match here is a video of my mediocre performance this past Thursday. Managed to get 212 Alphas, 7 Betas, 48 Charlies, 3 Deltas and unfortunately 5 Mikes. At least no procedurals and no no-shoots. Really did for crap on the first stage I shot (which was stage2), those doors did me in. Had a heck of a time on the next to last stage I shot too, which was stage 14. I'll tell you it was a grueling day. Left the house at about 4:30am and did not get home till 8:30pm.
I don't know anything about Baltimore Harbor; but yes; currents really can be that strong.
A big cargo ship like that isn't very maneuverable.
Most of the shipboard systems and controls are electric. If the lights go out, they have big, big trouble.
so here's my deal. even though i asked the question earlier, i really want to believe this was an accident. my problem is that the more i watch the video, the more it looks like it was gonna miss the pylon right up till it hooked a hard right turn. so......are the currents really that strong that they coulda done that? or is it an optical illusion due to the camera angle?
