I was defending a port w/osti ~ started out with several other gv's defending. Ended up being the last one killed. I got nine before getting killed. It was the first time I'd killed nine folks ~ 3 of those was one guy who kept coming back

Since then, I've gotten one or two nine-kill sorties, but none were ever as much fun as that one time at the port.

Also, there were some almost as memorable sorties where I'd spawn somewhere in an osti ~ zing a fighter ~ same guy would come back in a light bomb dropper (zing him again if I'm lucky), then he'd come back in lancs and drop a full load on me.

Those were smashing fun.

One of my favorite ones was when I got into a turn fight. Both me and the guy who I was fighting were in P-51Ds and at times we were applying up to 50% flaps. On one turn I was above my opponent and he flew straight into a mountain side. We both saluted each other and we went on our way. Another one is when I was in the DA last weekend and I was in a F4U-1A and I was shooting planes down left and right.

Another one of my favorite moments is when the bish started up a jeep raid against one of our gv bases. I was the only one there and thought it was a tank raid, so I upped a tiger. I see one jeep come from behind a hill, so I go to MG him. After killing him I look back towards the hill and here comes 30+ Jeeps and M3s!

I rush back to the map room in case some of them actually get past the ack which is still up. I just sit there and watch jeep after jeep blow up to ack fire. After they all died they all upped tanks

. Landed 34 kills in a 2 minute sortie.

back around 2001 I played for over a year wondering how anybody could hit anything in tanks. Then I read the help files and found about it.

I wanted to punt this so that I would remember to respond to it after the Bar exam.

Hint: It was the 2005 Coral Sea Campaign.

Some years ago we upped a large mass troop drop in C-47 on June 6th.

When the defenders came in, we heard a lot of "you guys look so good out there, I don't wanna shoot you" - awesome to see messerschmitts soaring through our formations and not firing a single round. And even more awe inspiring was the sight of 100s of parachutes filling the sky.

Later that day we launched a commemorative beach landing from a CV. Loads of guys heading for the beach/port launching troops inland.

That was a fine day indeed.

Another one was when I was at a town (attempting to defend... and not doing a good job of it). LTARS sent in some kind of planes (it was early enough that I don't recall what kind ~ probably 110s or something of the sort) to take the town down. Then from over the water about 10 goons showed up. Didn't expect that. And definitely didn't shoot all the troops.

Was something else to watch though.

my favorite moments in AH are when you find that rare 1 vs 1 in the MA that leaves your forearms sore and you sweating with cramped hands. My most recent one was with RumbleB in a ki84, while i was in a G14. Those are the moments I play for...why I keep coming back.

After taking the base, I landed my "3 victories in a C47."

was this in the last couple of months? I coulda sworn I saw someone land 3 kills in a C-47 not that long ago and I was thinking when I saw it, "How the hell did he pull THAT off?!"

Kills in goons are easy...just fly around the trees, when someone comes for you make them overshoot and hit a tree.
