I am with stodd on this one. Up a gv to kill another.  Everything seems even to me. The best players seem to be the ones that do it ALL.  Just my 5 cent... tuk151

Stodd, Lusche, and Kilz :aok

Most tanks can be taken out or disabled with cannons. Wirble's and Osti's can be disabled with just 50 cal if the player isn't looking, I did it to kilz (a top gver :salute ) the other night with a F6f.

If you think they are unkillable you should spend time in them and get killed a large number of times and find out how every one else is killing them.  :aok

Since the introduction of GV's has made such a large impact on game play I would like to see the return of GV vunerability to 20mm and 30mm cannon fire from above (ie planes).

Now some will jump in and claim that its unrealistic and so on and so forth, to them I say well its for game play reasons like alot of other stuff in AH that is not quite real  :lol

As it stands now the typical routine is kill ords so the vehicle crowd is immune to air attack and take base, I say those crawly GV's need danger at every turn and us flyers need more targets (since alot of non flyers have come to AH to drive GV's) :t



Bring ord and learn how to bomb like the big boys.  :rock

High speed makes tracking impossible, as the turret cannot rotate fast enough. That and the surprise of being so reckless.

Depends on how close you are to the WW :aok I would love to try this out in the TA or DA with you (me in the WW of course) :aok

heheh yep yep insane is the right word alright, I want you show me online one day how great you are at it, 1 v 1 you vs wirblewind without the WW being distracted by anything else.

Come in from the sun and you take out their turret before they even see you. If you wanna be extra sneaky then turn off your eng while diving on it. Give it some practise and you will seldom lose against a WW

Or go the best way, up a B25 and show those GVs why they can't have your base.  Yep i love me B25 :D

It is also extremely gratifying to watch some B-25H think he's gonna wack your pee-pee and get a 75MM round in his nose.  He just seems to go to pieces. roflol

Yet you say your problem with them is this,
Kinda hard to ignore a wirblewind, or m16, or osti in a low level furball, .
So they should have plenty of distractions and thus be an easy kill.

Yea i get that when i have a bunch of people that don't fire back, then someone that does pops up.  I had been getting careless cause of the others, but it's still very rare :aok

I don't drive tanks much and I detest the ground game,

Didn't like the fact that a Wirblewind killed you at 194 last night? Or is it the fact that GV's held off the base take for hours, mostly without air support because you didn't bring your own GVs ?  I got blown up or turreted several times. With a smoked turret and waiting for a VH to pop the fly boys would keep strafing me with their .50s hoping to get the kill when somebody else killed me. Now you want some idiot to be able to take out armor with a .50 strafing pass. What were you doing there anyway if you detest the ground game and land grab?

As an aside, I also played AW with my Amiga on GEnie. Still have the Amiga with AW on it.


i dont got enough perkies as it is and i like upen my lancs to kill 1 dang t 34 or wirble its fun droping 42 bombs

LOL hardly the same things in the second quote I would be totally without ords and usually ambushed by some GVer who has driven into the grass to get the easy kill cause his ID doesn't show till ur on top of him.

at any rate the unwashed masses have told me I am wrong so I will accept that and move on

Man you guys love to make statements that are just nutty, we didn't bring GV's to 194 cause the FIRST THING you guys did was kill ords and take out VH.  Secondly I NEVER said let fifty cals take out anything (altho they should be able to kill a WW or osti which both have OPEN tops), I said 20mm so I assume your post is just to pick a fite or kiss up to HiTech not sure which.
