Why I love Aces High
« on: September 09, 2004, 12:17:20 AM »
Where else could you rat race around in a Spit V chasing a P51 through the smoke of a burning field, getting the occasional ping.  

You watch helplessly as he starts to pull away  on the deck hugging the tree tops.

To add insult to injury, you dip a wing, and roll yourself into a ball in the trees only to find yourself alive, still strapped in the cockpit of your now upside down and wingless Spit.

And much to your surprise you get the kill on the 51.

Ain't life grand :)

Will that be counted as a ditch? Just wondering.

Not if you end up on the runway! :)  You will get the "You have landed successfully" message.

What I like more, is you drop on a spitty who is flying low and slow in your tiffy, you put 5 or 6 cannon rounds into his right wing ripping it off, as you pass by you see mr. spitty spiraling to the ground only to land on his freaking runway and come to a stop!  He lands and gets a successful landing :mad:  This was almost as bad as the puffy ack  :aok

Ahh but no one hit me, I put it in the trees.  Why should someone besides myself get a kill for it? :)

At least I'd shot up the guy I was chasing enough to get some credit.

That thing sticking up behind the Spit's canopy is evidently a rollover safety device.
