Who can tell me what AH was like when it first started and what planes/gv's there were/ werent

1.)  People HO'd once, got berated and didnt do it again.
2.)  The only person who flew an La7 well was Shane.
3.)  No one shot chutes.
4.)  No one would subject themselves to the embarrassment of landing kills in an N1k.
5.)  HiTech would fly.
6.)  Squeakers couldnt afford $29.95 per month.
7.)  No arena caps.
8.)  Servers worked.
9.)  Youd never engage a SpitV for fear that it was Levi.
10.)  You heard "What is wrong with the 38?" at least once per night from AW refugees.

T'was a good time.

And you used to have long term memory before your accident .

Neat little feature these player vs player stats. You had my old tired arse concerned about my memory. So I looked.........

Since I started AH as GooseAW then as GooseCH vs sax:

FM2 vs FM2 I killed you 6 times, you killed me twice.

My memory is slippin! I thought we'd fought more than that. But there were some very memorable fights.

Actually, several flew it "well" in that they were very successful hit and run artists.  I think I was just one of the first who realized its overall potential incorporating TnB tactics...  which I honed prior in the P-51's, but it was the spit9 that led up initially.

No matter what I flew, I pretty much flew in the same aggressive way - the same moves just transferred and adapted to whatever my ride was.  This is probably why I never did particularly well with the FW series.

Never tried the A5 with the 2 gun package, apparently.  

(predicts increased usage of A5 over next 48 hours)

i did sokay with the a5, but in general the fw's couldn't quite perform on the edge as well - very instable.

remember, i often flew alone against odds - Fw's did better in a more cooperative environment.
