I burned out on AW in '95 and quit. I didnt play any game of any type again until for some reason in '03 I decided to get back into AW. After discovering that it was dead, I saw that HT and Pyro had started AH. I knew without even playing it that AH would be the place to be because they ran it.

well lets see, hmmm, where id it all begin?

aha! it was many moons ago, i was sitting around in my house....bored...as...hell...

so i went online and found some abandonware DOS games RB, AOE, AOTP...

i loved every freakin second of those, but i was soon disatisfied with those good old graphics and lack of realism,(if bomber gunners where that f**king accurate there would have been NO need for fighter escort AT ALL!:mad: leave muh 109 alone foo!) now although the plane sets and game play where quite fun, (ki43 & ki84 pwns all, cept bigfat bnz, HO'ing, P47 bastages) it wa not enugh to stall the boredom indefinetly and a few years later i began searching for other games.

now the whole "online" thing seemed pretty appealing, getting to fight people would make things more interesting, instead of an AI who performed the same maneuvers over and over again (RB all turn fites, AOE&AOTP had a bit more variety but still VERY limited) fighting other plp would meen coming face to face against competant foes.....well, mostly competant foes, a few tards out there i won't say any names..........my brother:lol

i i dipped into sum MMORPG but couldn't rly get into it all, the skys where calling my name. so the search began, i had to find a Flight Sim that had a good plane set, good graphics and realism. and since i'm cheap, stingy, and poor dude i looked on the internet, but without success. then i remembered seeing sumthin on the military channel bout sum sort of flight sim, wut was it? aces sumthing? aces high! so i found the AHII website and at first i was a little skeptical, i had looked at wwII online, but uh, no. AHII on the other hand seemed like a goodin' i got 2freeweeks, that's good , i figured i could see wut it's like but then wut happend when that runs out!? then i saw what would become my home for quuite sum time...

free H2H thats when i made my decision.

i will donwload this, i will get my arse handed to me in the MA, and then i will directly proceed to get my arse handed to me in the H2H.

so far so good.

and that's about it i cam from RB, and other oldskool classics to this, and this, in the words of my good friend shake, '...is the shiznite!"

phase 3 of my plan to get my arse handed to me back in the MA is currently underway.;)

WBs 1.something.  Frodo joined the AH beta first and when he told me they had a P-38 I couldnt resist.

Sheep, & aliens with beer & pizza, and giant squids in the large lakes. Back then there was planes fighting planes:O

I was an AW refugee, I just moved along with the flock.

Found it on google while looking for online games 60 tours ago :)

I never really played flight sims before but I've always been a warbird/WWII geek.
