Any old Air Warriors out there?????

[Plazus]

When I was just a young baby seal in the late 90s (about 8 or 9), I flew a lot on Air Warrior. Never played online but instead, I loved flying the Korean jets and shooting down the AI controlled bad guys. Quite honestly, didnt know much about the history of aerial combat back then, but flying was one thing I have always wanted to do ever since I first rode in a Piper Cherokee when I was 5.

First rule of Bigweek is, we don't mention Bigweek.

I'm an old AW guy.  Started with AW Dos followed with AW2 and then AW3.  My fav was AW2, AW3 was tweaked for more realism but failed in the fun factor.  Also AW3 was laggy at times too.  I started out as a B but changed to C half way through.  My fav plane was the spitfire but I also enjoyed the B17 both as a pilot or gunner.

Do any of yous remember one of the admins named Vet?  I think he was mostly around AW2 days and the early part of AW3.  He was a very good spitfire pilot with many kills.

I don't recall the name of my squadron but a few of the members got into one of the vehicles (AW2) and drove it from one air field to another air field, which took about an hour, lol. Then they started to shoot and kill the enemies.  Had a lot of fun with AW2.

With the demise of AW3 I switched to Warbirds but I didn't care much for it so I hung up my flightstick until now.  AH looks interesting and I would like to know how it compares to AW.  At the moment I'm without a flight stick so I haven't played AH yet.  Should I start exerciseing my trigger finger again? lol.

yow

My advise to you is: DON'T START

IT'S MORE ADDICTING THAN SOME SORT OF LIQUIFIED ORGASM.

Cz! Pfui.  

Never played WB but if you liked AW I think you'd like AH.  7 Spits to choose from too, if you count the Seafire.

Cz, wow that brings back memories, best part of that game was requesting a crew for bombers, we used to load up all the gunner positions and it became a flying DeathStar, get a bunch of drunks in one plane and the Vox was never quiet.

Ahhh yes..... those were the days!  

I particularly enjoyed gunning the chin with a pilot who enjoyed dog-fighting in a B17, not mentioning any names!  We had a 'Spiffing' time though! 

[edge12674]

Yeah, Deathstars were the best.  I think that is the only short coming of AH...multiple gunners.  Used to belong to a squad =BRU= (Buffs R Us) with Freelance as our CO back in the AW Genie days.  The intercom banter that went on while we flew a mission had me wiping tears from my eyes cause I was laughing so hard!

That was my favourite trick for getting n00bs hooked. Landed 11 kills for a new guy one night. Vulching with a chin gunner in a B17 is huge fun. He paid up and his wife had left him within 3 months.

I miss Spiff and Fidd and all those Kraits.

[gdzila]

[killnu]

6623   Death Angel  1992

Decided to up one day with a tank and blast my own country's uppers on some field. Laughed my bellybutton off but my countrymen didn't think it was that funny so I fled to FR (full realisim) and changed my name to Thud.

3357 Thud after CRIS started the $1.50/hr. Man that was a sweet deal at the time! They also gave you a shell account with your dial-up subscription. Learned a lot of UNIX commands. Ah, good times, good times.

I was fortunate to be asked to join the Musketeers squadron  of Air Warrior in 94/95 or so.

Still with em', Wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
