Would you 'WTG' this? :D

Friends and foes alike get and WTGs, and I see enough to give me hope that not ALL the honor is gone from the game  :aok


I feel the same way.

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

JB73! I remember you :) You sent me into a frenzy of nostalgia.

Rook Joint Ops was awesome lol. Fun stuff.

Big squads I remember being were you guys, MAW, Arabian Knights, and a few others...

Kinda saddens me to see it gone :( But, change may not be a bad thing.



----

Yep Betty, same squad :) Frog, Diver, Hanzo/Page, Bear, few others I remember very well.

----


I have been changing countries around, trying to see where I like. But it just doesn't seem to be a cohesive unit. The occasional local channels are friendly, but.. people just seem to be out for the " Guy#58646543 has landed 4 kills in a Spit/LA/N1K".

I really miss organized missions, bomber escorts/intercepts, etc. Sure, I could participate in scenerios but... I enjoy it *every* night lol.

Maybe it is my time. I am home at 9:00PM EST Mon-Thurs due to work all day and college @ night. Perhaps the weekend will be different.

----


Thanks for all of the welcome back guys! :)  
Hope to see yall from the cockpit of my 38 :)

Oh quick question....


What happened to night time? I used to love fighting in twilight hours.

Weather effects ever implemented? I remember wind but haven't noticed much of that, so hrm.

Don,t forget the Tempest, f4-C, 262 and 163 dweebs!!

You know,the "other" planes alot of the high scoring guys fly.

Welcome back Boxcut!!

Its usually not so bad.

I see lots of and WTGs in Bishland and I,m sure its the same most of the time on the evil sides too!!

But for Gods sake, stay off of channel 200, it will sour your taste for the game.

And Heaven forbid you get in a 1 on 1 with a vet and have a country men try and pick him and knock off one of his elevators. If you shoot him down you will be blessed with a PM that tells you why your not dead and eating your perked ride.

glad I could help you remember those times Hayze :aok

I have flown as "Mustaine" since oh 2+ years ago, but it's still me.

MAN have times changed lol. I'll admit I miss some of those huge missions too, the 50 stuka raid, RJO getting 2 resets in 45 minutes, and most of all the MINDANAO map :(

I'm going to try and fly again in the next few weeks maybe I'll see ya up.
I don't know what to put here yet.
