10 Joys in Aces high II

[thndregg]

Was that you?  ;-)

Yesterday some Bishops launched a half dozen B-17 formations out of A143 in the Blue Arena, climbed out to like 20k, and headed west into Nit country.  Three of us saw the darbar in the middle of the island and knew it could mean only one thing, and launched 262s to intercept.  My squadmate WormZilla and I downed 5 bombers each, and oTimmyo downed 2 or 3 before he saddled up on a B17 and got himself killed.  We were dodging Pony escorts the entire time.  I believe the rest of the B-17s were eventually cleaned up by Nits who launched and intercepted in other planes over and near the target area.  Good times!

Of my 10 joys in Aces High is downing another 262 while flying a 262.  Thought about rationally, that shouldn't be that big of a deal, but when I've done it I was on cloud 9.

Another joy is killing a pristine and turning CV group with a set of AR234s.  A CV requires 8000 lbs of bombs to kill, and an AR234 formation with three 500kg bombs per bird is carrying 9900 lbs, which basically requires a direct hit from all the bombs of all three birds to kill it.

Another joy, though I feel ashamed of myself every time I've done it, is killing a formation of AR234s in a 262.  I fly the 234 a fair bit myself, and I know that when you're cruising around at 425 indicated or whatever the max speed is, you get this feeling of invulnerability.  Nothing, but nothing pops that balloon quite like the sight of an enemy 262.  It's a feeling of dread, a sinking feeling, a feeling of "oh sh**".  And it's almost a dick thing to do to impose that feeling on someone else.  Still, when I'm up in a 262 and spot a flight of 234s, I just can't help myself.  Muahahahahahaha!

Oh yeah, one more joy.  Killing a Tiger in a T34.  That's another cloud 9 thing.

Yep, that was us. I had a feeling it would end up that way, hence the reason for the Pony escorts.

Well keep them coming.  Massive buff raids are really fun, both for the side trying to get their buffs through to hit the enemy target, and for the side trying to stop them.  It's one of those things that you do not because it's necessarily tactically necessary, but because you can.  It's a bunch of guys putting a chip on their shoulder and then daring the other side to knock it off.

For some more fun, next time try escorting your buffs with 262s.  I've never seen it done, but it would be cool to see someone try.  Fuel would be the biggest concern, but if you climbed out to like 25k and throttled way back until enemy contact was imminent, it could be done.

Take a 262 up to 25k in AH11 you will soon see that it is a pig to fly. Plus it would be next to useless as a fighter deterant that high up.

Yeah, I know, I've flown the 262 that high many times.  I'm saying use it as a fighter escort so when the enemy shows up with his 262s you have a chance at least of catching him.  We had no problem dodging the Pony escorts even though the 262 is a dog at that altitude.  Anyhow, it would be fun to try.

Been there, done that, except I was in a 109F4, and I only killed 3 of the LTARs' 12 goons before they dropped.  Arg.

I was wandering around enemy territory the other day all by myself and came upon an noe mission of 38's and 110's, one goon. There they were, on the deck and I was the only friendly for two sectors.  I got 7, including the goon in a running fight towards our base. The noe actually made it to within sight of the base before other friendlies arrived and finished the scraps.

Oh yea, that was fun. We got jumped by all those 262s and 190s... I got me a 110, and a 262 (even though I got the assist on the 262, my guns made him go BOOM)
