read up on BB's thoughts about "nuisance realism."  as a "old-time AW vet" you should know who and what i'm referring to.

as for loyalty...    how can one "applaud loyalty" and refuse to recognize other "online traits" such as no honor or cowardance?  always amuses me when people say it's just a game and how can there be "honor" or "bravery?" is it the same as real life? no... but it's still there, or lacking.

loyalty to a chess piece i find even more amusing.

i'm only loyal to the action.


ahh because shane...

those are negative traits that have no place in the same sentence as LOYALTY!.....

now loyalty, honor, and bravery go hand and foot as well as my core values my friend....

you may ask what are core values? honor, courage, and commitment.

ps ohh and yes i am a jarhead

I've been with the 1st Nasty since the first day I flew AH online(Oct. of 2002). HB555 was flying with them, and since I had flown with him in AW with the 555th for two years, it was easy to join them. Haven't flown with any other squad in AH.

I use auto takeoff when lotsa planes taking off, like a mission or something. My vid cards so slow that when the next frame comes round i'm at the action. Then I engage the auto die button.
I used to be a fatalist,
but that part of me died.

The Damn rejected me because I was way too good looking and they were afraid I'd steal all their sheep.

Speaking of The Damned, you ever hear from 7Blue?

Actually, the sheep complained that they were all too well hung for you :).

Man, blast from the past! Haven't heard from Blue in years now. Good guy.

The point, which you seem to lack the intelligence to perceive, is that a veteran player is using a newb crutch to play "our game" and I am querying him as to why.

What is it to you if anyone uses auto take off? Why the hell does it matter either way?

Taking off in manual mode apparently makes one much more suave and debonair. It almost certainly increases that appealing masculinity that, without fail, makes the Swedish Bikini Team swoon. Without doubt it is the cure for the heartbreak of psoriasis, the curse of bad breath and unappealing body odor as well.

After all, taking off in AH is so difficult that only those who have risen above the existence plane of mere mortals can dare to attempt it, let alone become airborne.

I salute these giants amongst gamers!

so again to you old ah'ers out there who have been with your squad's for years (S)

semper fi
(in latin means "always faithfull")


p.s. the 68th is always looking for some high spirited pilot's young and old to join up with us so if your interested in flying with us!68th homepage


the 352nd Iron Dogs have never been about having large numbers in our squad. Would we like to have more? Sure why not, Just about anyone is welcome to come join us. Or simply fly with us and see what we're about. But we arent overly concerned about our numbers. Like I said We're not about that And never have been.

We've always been about three things. First and foremost is Having fun together. Defending the Knights,and harrassing and disrupting the enemy and their plans as much as possible.
Often our small size (we're about 8 or 9 now) Enables us to do things that large squads often cant. Or often I see fail at.

And we've noticed that just as often Where we go Alot of times other Knights follow up.

We beleive in defending by attacking. Its what we do. So you will rarely see us simply hovering over our own feilds waiting for the enemy to come to us

Most of us have been together now for 5-7 years
The Iron Dogs itself has gone through several incarnations in that time. First starting in AOL AW as simply the "Iron Dogs". Then the "352 Pale Riders" and  "Gremlins" on Gamestorm thus the current form here known as the "352 Iron Dogs"
Through the years we have formed a special bond. We really are like a Band of brothers and there probably isnt much of anything we wouldnt do for one another either in the game or in real life.
Thats how tight we are.

Heh, interesting replies.

I don't use any of that stuff--auto takeoff, stall limiter, etc. etc.--didn't think anyone used those newb crutches past their first two weeks of playing. I suppose Toad uses it too because he thinks taking off is too hard...

Guess I was wrong, tho. Never realized so many dweebs still use it Game away!

I use it because Toad does use it. I mean, after all he has thousands of hours of commercial jet experience, and if he has a hard time rotating off the runway in AH, I can just imagine the trouble I would have.

i've used the time i've saved learning acm and stuff..

which is why altho' i can't maually takeoff for crap, i can fly rings around you and the ultimate crutch of your squaddies.
