Favorite Aces High Moments??
« Reply #15 on: February 20, 2008, 09:02:42 AM »
I had some good moments in the DGS scenario.

My favourite was when I was a designated 'experte' for one of the frames.

I flew the whole frame, scored a few kills, re-armed for fuel and ammo, got 1 more and then managed to return home to my 'home' field with a couple of mnutes to spare.

That was great, it was like being a part of the real thing, making it back alive.

For the whole scenario I didn't die, I got shot down once but bailed out over a friendly field, so that added to whole realism of it, making it through the whole month with my virtual life intact.

I'd have to agree with arch.

DGS diving in on an insane amount of B17's with escorts and Luft iron all over the sky.   I don't think I have ever encountered that many players all shooting in different directions in the same bit of airspace.


That was EPIC!

my favorate moment (s)
« Reply #18 on: February 20, 2008, 09:19:54 AM »
probably my most favorate moment would have to be when i was driving to a bish air base with an m8 when out of nowhere a 262 straifed me, i was sooooo mad because he got 2 of my tires so i turned to the side and fired once, by this time he was already out at 1.5k,         it was as if the world stopped for that moment, that 37mm round went right up his rear
and kaboom

i couldn't believe what just happened,
it was amazing,


another time i was in an m8 (btw this was all in the same month i started the game) i drove to an air base and parked in the fighter spawning hanger, i killed 24 planes before the rest of the rooks caught the base, when i landed, it gave me over 159 perkies, i was amazed, it must have been because the rooks had a low eny     :)

please excuse my grammer, im from the south :lol

Favorite-

Got in a good 1v1, fought our way down to the deck, a really good fight.

He winds up killing my engine.

I drop my gear , land and roll to a stop, waiting for the inevitable.

He doesn,t shoot.

He comes in and flys about 10 ft. over me and leaves with a

Classy!

It left me with a real good feeling about the game.


Least favorite-

Flying 1v1 against one of our more infamous alt monkey score hos.

Not much of a fight.

Maybe 2 merges and my plane is in pieces, and I bail.

Of course he HAD to kill me hangin in the chute.

No class.

Left me with a real bad feeling about the game.




Taking the good with the bad,

First kill was in a spitfire VIII vs BunyIp in a Me 262. Basically he overshot me on a Ho pass, but i got a few rounds into him, later on he crashed, went to land my first "kill" and was naturally vulched by an La7 upon landing.

I have a couple of good moments. 1 of them was in H2H on Denholm's Malta Server. I was bringing a C47 to a base. But I got intercepted by a p51. In a good mood, I tried to mess with him. So I continued to turn fight with for about 6 mins, until a zeke came in and got me.

Another time was last week in the AvA. Where I intercepted a big raid of ar234s and 262s escorts. And I was the only interceptor. I only got 1 kill but I got a couple others oil. I didn't last long. But it was fun to shoot up 234s with the 262s chasing me.

I was in a P47 and fighting a Spit16 on the deck, I had full flaps and gear down, slower than hell. I was turning with the Spit16, and soon his engine was sputtering. I was watching his engine, meanwhile, I was headed toward a tree. I jerked rudder and plane right, bounced off the ground, did a 180 on the ground and opened fire on the Spit16 (right in front of my guns).

Untill recently it was either winging with Hangtime way back when, he got bounced by StSanta.  Hang put his p51 in a power dive, then started hedge hoping across the countryside with StSanta throwing a heap of stinging, yet good natured abuse his way on Channel 1.  Hang replied with "GETTYUP LITTLE PONY!" no sooner had he hit the enter button he plowed into the side of a hill from typing.  

Or the time I came across a mission that had just upped from a CV.  I dove down worked my way through the pack from back to front and shot down 9 in one pass.  

Of all the good memories I have from the years though DSG has to be the best.  Taking the heavies in deep and bring them back out again... racing to the rescue with Corky after we refueled and picked up some stragglers and the rest of the 474th who were too low on fuel to engage the last of the LW trying to keep them from getting home... the frantic cries and mantra on the squadron vox "stay with the heavies...".  Had a sense of pride when it was all done.  I think the 474th brought more of the big friends home each frame than any other group.

Once I upped a goon to resupply HQ and I saw an enemy con over the horizon. I wasn’t in the mood to get shot down so a just turned around and landed. But instead of towering out I taxied into the main hanger; you know, the one where you pick out your plane and loadout. Anyway I shut my engines off and waited….long story short, about a dozen or so porkers came to deack and take out the ord. I ended up getting seven proxies and when I finally did tower out there was a lovely text massage saying: Whitten landed 7 Victories in a C-47 of ~~~FATE~~~

During the Frenchy Challange I was flying a D25 at 15k. Twitchy and the squad were attacking a feild. Twitchy yells at me "bustr, get down here you alt monkey!". I dove down to try and clear Twitchy being chased by 4 bish. I miss the bish. Twitchy dies and I inherited the 4 bish. It's was only then I realised I was being chased into a blind canyon because I stopped looking out my 6 just in time to pull straight up and miss the canyon wall. I got 4 proxy kill messages just as I cleared the top of the ridge.

Twitchy still calls me an alt monkey........

Was on a bomb run in B-24's and while returning to base I was flying over an enemy field, as a flight of 24's was taking off. I slowly crept up on the enemy buffs, I wish I remembered who it was, and once I was 500 out opened fire and took out two bombers. For the next five minuites we were turn fighting our 24's bouncing back and forth between pilot and gunner positions, I was laughing my arse off the whole time. My only regret..I didn't film it.
