Ya know Erkle,
Now that I think about it....I'd say most of the players in AHII havent a CLUE as to what AH used to be...
You newer types have a whole differant mind set than the old days. I can remember flying for hours and seeing maybe 2 or 3 bases change hands on a map. Why? Everyone was fighting and haveing fun. It wasn't about winning the war it was about a fight and combat. Not about ground punding and griefing.
I been in AH for a total of 9 years now I think. Not all at once mind ya...but off and on for that long. Maybe it was 2000. Not gonna look it up under my ole CPID. At any rate....the skies were filled with people fighting and dieing and re upping for a fight again. Not much vulching at all that I remember. Just good ole clean fun and <S>'s. Good talk. Not a bunch of smack talking and name calling.
Those days are gone and I realise that. Things change.
But for you to get in this notion of "Knights suk" is just goofy IMO.
Theere have been some GREAT battles over bases in this game. For hours and hours it would go with neither side gaining a big advantage. I recall epic battles with the JB's , BK's , AK's , 56th. I remember fighting the original JB squad for 5 or 6 hours over a base. We'd bomb them and they'd bomb us. We'd fight thier 190's and 109's and they'd come in and fight our spits. Not a bunch of hoin and runnin....just wingman pairs all over from both sides duking it out for air supremacy in one lil area of a map. Thier side trying to get Bombers in and our side doing the same. But the fight was clean , fun and well mannered. Almost everytime.
The BK's with Levi , Slap , and friends , smacking us around like lil kids. Ak's bushwhacking the hell out of us and us them. Nomde and Fenchy and company doing thier thing.
It was long before the MOUTHS arrived on the scene and changed AH. Long before the word toolshedder became AHII's favorite pastime. Furballers wasn't a bad word or a group....it was EVERYONE.
This game isn't near what it once was nor will it ever be again. HT made his changes. MANY for the better. But don't think for a minute...that us older guys....the flyers from way back....have any sympathy for people complaining about some side being "Teh Suk".
It's your money...play your way....
