The AirWarrior I know and love used #s as well, A82 B85 anyone or was it B84, my memory is slipping ahhhhhhh! Anyway the good old VoD, Valley of Dweebs.

Air Warrior is dead and it's a relic of the past but I'd like to see some maps modelled after it as well. Maybe some limited plane sets for the maps too, ETO/PAC. Don't get me wrong, I love being able to fly whatever but I guess it takes a bit away from the hmm whats the word.. dunno, anyway... I flew ETO and it was always fun going to PAC and flying with them some, seeing how the tactics are different etc. I don't mean change it for good but limit it a bit more, some maps pto planeset some eto, some both.

more importantly, when will airwarrior vietnam be released?

Easyscor started working on an ETO map, and I've got a copy that needs time spent on finalizing a good many things.

Stalins got going full speed, so I'll get back on that after the Stalins Fourth hump.

It'll be a good map for H2H, if it goes well, I'll think about a AW Old Farts night.

Pipeline is chock full of events at the moment, sqeezing in a couple suprises if things work out well.

I believe "Twi" was for "Twisted"...an early AW ace...

)

Thye big draw to AW for me was the community first, then
the terrain layouts and general gameplay.

Fighting over the "pond" of the early ETO terrains was a real hoot.

I'm afraid the shear numbers present in AH will never allow it to
match AW in terms of community....

What I'm saying is the size of AH is a good thing but it's also a bad thing. It makes 1 base fairly insignificant, I'm not sure how to get around that aspect and still keep the size of the maps.

Although I like the size and numbers of AH, the fact is it's big which limits the smaller tight-knit community aspect. Also the rolling maps and the sheer size of them limit ones relationship with them. Let me explain a bit more...

In AW I used to love flying around A84 (I believe) and killing Cz and driving my 190 over the pond. I really hated when A84 got taken out because it was like my home base, I felt attached to it, it was mine! Plus capturing bases around the pond was a big thing because they were the only bases you could capture so that made it a big deal. Shooting down the resupply c47 drones felt like it was making an impact...

I agree totally on your assessments above.

I, too, had a "home base" in that ETO map that had A83 over in the east just
north of B85 (I think those are the correct numbers ).

Short flights to lots of action and for those that liked to buff ( I did that ALOT )
the STRAT targets were set up in such a way that you had to run the gauntlet
to get to them.

Fighting in the mountains on the northern and southern ends of "the Pond"
was also a real trip.

When AW "grew" and they instituted larger maps and multiple arenas,
the "glory days" began to ebb, IMO. I never cared much for "Big PAC"
and preferred to fly the ETO maps. Loved the AW A-26 and turning and
burning in the 38 as well....ahhh, the memories

Thanks Reacher .

Actually graphics were a little better than what I had envisioned, yes, they don't stand up to today, but I had heard of flying triangles and such. That system text would take up a whole screen or fly by in todays arena of 500 +, but would be quite funny to see.

That was cool, thanks again.

That'd work too but, I'd like the challenge of shooting one of them down in my 190

Actually that movie was like 3rd generation stuff. The DOS version was much worse and the planes showed up as Ts in the distance.
