Most Impressive Stunt?
« on: April 02, 2004, 09:47:04 AM »
What's the most impressive stunt possible in Aces High?  I'd guess flying a B-17 or Lanc inverted through a hangar.  

Has that ever been done?

What stunt would be tougher than that?

I would have to say, although not very impressive because anyone can do it. I was turning with 4 or 5 cons at an nme base a few months back and on the losing end.

I was low and slow and decided to fly through one of the fighter hangers. When i did I got 3 kills from guys who either hit the hanger or died trying to go through it. I don't know which because I wasnt looking backwards when it happend.

Best one I ever saw was a 38 doing multiple loops thru a fighter hanger after taking off from a capped field...he did 3 or 4 before he either lost a control surface or just augered...but he was actually in a fight...pretty sure the Fm-2 he was tangling with flew right thru with him once or twice. I was to absorbed watching to swoop the 38...course 5 sec after he went down the ack came up and caught me (and the FM-2) right over the field.

Apart from rocket kills on birds taking off, my favorite is diving in on a vulchee spawning in the FH and blowing him to crap as you approach and fly through the FH.  Good clean Amurrikan fun!

Rockets into a bomber formation.  Lancasters I think it was, with a P-51D.

Also, bombed a cruiser with an A-20 at the same time a countryman was sinking the carrier with torps.  My right engine oil was hit but other than that the plane was still intact, so I stuck around and shot up a PT boat.  I was about to sink another PT boat when I got too close to a destroyer.

Bounced two hvy Mustangs with my B-stang.  Got 1 smoking on the first pass and stayed with him twisting around down to the water.  Lost sight of the other one.  I smoked the first one just as I saw splashes out the side of my cockpit from the second one's bullets.  Went into a scissors and forced the overshoot.  Just as I smoked him I got a prox kill on a plane I never even saw, then a 109 flashed past and we got into a sloppy turnfight which devolved into a horizontal scissors.  He overshot and I landed a few hits but no smoke, then overshot because I raised flaps instead of lowered them.  He got some machine gun rounds into me but no damage and we went into scissors again.  I stalled and he got auger kill on me.

Some guy had his wing shot off in some japanese plane but flew it away from the fight knife-edge and was able to land about 15 minutes later.  That was a long time ago though.

I thought Id be cute, with a parada of cons behind me, go thru a Fighter Hangar.  I thought it was odd that the tracers stopped.  I looked behind me...the farking con went thru inverted!!  LOL

Cool, I didn't know you could land on the support ships...I figured you'd just fall through 'em or explode on contact.
