I can remember being taken under the wing of Ghosth and Ozark, those 2 helped me a lot my first week,(2000, 2001?) and I think made me realise that this was more than a "game"

After playing offline for a few weeks, I started the 2 weeks, thinking I'd be hot stuff of course.......... First up, I see green planes and orange planes.......... Well guess what I did?  Shoot all those enemy oranges, or at least tried to!!!!  "Shoot the red planes idiot!"

Personally I think it would be better if all the random people arent clumped into 101.  Let them talk on range only...... 

Not to mention, by default, radio 1 is the help channel........ So I'm rambling and rambling and rambling until somebody says...... "You know this isn't your country's channel?  It's the help channel.... DO you need help? If not, STFU"

On one of my 1st sorties in the MA  I was just hanging out not wanting to get in the way (had NO idea of what I was doing or what anyone else was doing),
I hear over range "Stickpig get the typhie!"

All I can remember is thinking to myself..."What the hell is a typhie"? "

Those were the days

1rst memory is strong.
I downloaded Warbirds 1,07 and spawned to an airfield under attack.
As I was trying to start my engine a nearby con augered rewarding me with a kill (still engine off) 3 seconds into the game.

In the text buffer, country channel was filled with "wtg save"
Since i was new to online gaming I made the big misstake of writing  " what is 'wtg' ? " 
the screeen now filled with "LOL"
"what is 'LOL' " 

well you get the picture  :rofl

Can't remember the name of the squad but it was Sysprobe's , one of the guys upped just in front of me so i flew along with him , a new guy ups catches up with us and promptly starts shooting at us , my suaddie gets on channel and eggs the new guy on , it turned into a dog fight  and everyone was just hanging around watching this new guy kill himself he did it about 4 times , i had to logg off  i was laughing so hard . :)


Got into a fight with Shane , managed to take out his engine so he ditched , then spent the next few minutes ranting and raving about how he wasnt going to get out so i wouldnt get the kill, i flew off someone else shot at him as he sat in the water i still got the kill.:)

Most of all i remember not having a bloody clue what to do , hehe dont think much has changed ;)

Kept trying to capture factories with a C-47 at that time had a low end PC & could not see or hear train as it had no video card. Was very puzzled as to what was killing my goon.

Asked which key to use for a secondary weapon on country.  Of course the first few responses were Alt F4.  That was a quick lesson.
