Yeah, that's what it's all about for sure. The fight with the spitfires was down right awesome. The rolling, diving, turning, ...clearing a buddies six, just to need a clear yourself right away! It was great. Very, very immersive. At one point I rememebr yourself and myself on vox at the same time with the same thought,..."Keep it up boys we're winning !" Thats just priceless in a game...when you are so immersed in the struggle...and when a friend gets knocked out you feel like crap...It was a grand dogfight with 109's and Spitfires. Nuthin finer...Ooooh Raaaa! The way Dolfo hung in there with sacrifce, helping all the rest of us saddle up..was an example in case, of the type of gameplay those types of engagements bring out.
I was worried at one point in the fight when myself, Vater and Rider all got pulled south by a single spit, and we were somewhat seperated from your schwarm. It was a knail biter of a fight when we all engaged again...
Glad you have found "Special Events". My aceshigh world changed when I did. No comparison to MA play,...which has its place of course, but...SE rules for serious play, and as I am sure you saw right away, people approach the fight much differently when it's your one and only life hanging in the wind. It's a whole new experience.
And you are right. FSO for whatever mix of reasons, is currently da bomb as far as events go. The formula works, it's not flawless or perfect but what is? I know it is what I and alot of other peeps wait all week for. 300 in an arena most Fridays now, or real close. Hope to see more of ya.
