He's been wearing those tights for too long that I don't think he can take them off.

Ack-ack, what was your handle in AW?  Are you Zeus?

If I'm not mistaken Zeus was Damned. Even if he was a 38 spin dweeb! :)

LOL, you should have gunned for those guys, it was too funny. We used to do that for squad night, we would gun a B-17 or a couple A26's/B-25's and furball in it. DD would do some move and ask "I wonder if a B-17 could really do that?" I went to BigWeek when I heard he was hanging out there and tried to get him to come fly AH. I didnt get any real interest until I told him I had looped both the B-17 and the Lanc. You could see the gears turning and all I could think about was the legions of noobs he could introduce the Deathstar too. :)

One of the most fun days I had in AW was fighting Pyro with Twisted gunning for him in a B-25. They must have shot me down 100 times that day, but I learned a lot and laughed my arse off.

Grits, have you tried that in AH yet?  I'm wondering if it would work as well as it did in AW, since on-target gunnery in AH is more lethal than AW hit bubbles were.  I used to do some of that in AW (mostly in A-26's) -- I'd love to give it a try sometime in AH.

Not sure you have the "right" plane...the vader had an upper and lower turret...and the pilot had pretty lethal nose mounted pop....

B-26 would be closest thing I think....

As for the deathstar...might be better in AH since all guns would bear...but you cant engage a horde like you could in AW:)

Ren...

Just a guess, but, I would bet that Brooke is talking about Zeus of the Muskies. He pre-dates our Zeus by about 6 years. :)

That book is what got me into AW ('97). No TV commercials back then.

Not yet.  But it sounds like I should get working on it right away.  Newman (of the327th) lives in Washington, too, in case we need to recruit more effort to the task.

What got me asking is the DD and his tights comment.  Zeus on Bigweek uses the same terms.  I wondered if Ack-ack was that Zeus.

I tried it a few times, but the AH gunnery makes it more difficult to hit a fighter in a looping buff. Of course, I could never hit a fighter in AW buffs with the big hit bubbles. I would imagine that a good A-20/B-26 pilot like Cobia or Bullz, with one of the good buff gunners like 999000 or Tatertot, would be a pretty good combo.

Actually, I'm a pretty fair stick in either the A-20 or B-26, I might see if I can get 999000 to gun for me a few times and see how it works out.

If I'm ever up at the same time as you, Grits, I'll give you a holler, and we can try it.  I'm not necessarily a great buff gunner, but I'd still love to give it a go.

Haha....the last time I talked to DD he was STILL playing female characters. Besides the obvious vicarious thrills, I think DD believes females get deferencial treatment. :D

Brooke, I still have a copy of your "How to fly and fight" manual on my old hard drive here in the box lol.  I save that hard drive because it has all my AW stuff on it (and I have TONS of films).  I have AW3 and AWMV on there, plus I have the box version of AW4W (though no saved files from that one).  I also have all the "manuals" on the planes in AW in .txt format, and some lesson writeups.  I got almost all of it from the AOL AW download area they had setup, plus a few lesson writeups from later days when I was in there.  

Stega, you were pretty good friends with CR.  Did you keep in touch with him?  I lost his address and phone number years ago in moving around and I havent been able to get any response by email for some time now.  Jaimie never was in the best health, and I'd like to check up on him if you or anyone else knows how to get ahold of him.  I know he stayed with EA after AW went down, I believe doing TOS reports.  

And what ever happened to YES?  I used to have great fun shooting down his spit, and having him shoot me down in return.  I see the 327th is here, so did he come here too?  Just curious.

SA2, speaking of AW and of YES, he's been in my thought recently, too, as I've been putting together pictorials for the AW scenario Longbow that ran in 1999.  I was GL of I/JG3, which YES was in.  He saved my butt several times in that (such as in the first portion of this frame http://www.electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/longbow/part2frame1_pictorial.html ).
