Last night was my first time giving those WWI crates a spin, online or offline, and it was a freaking blast.  That was a great fight going on last night.  Was like AH crack I just couldn't stop upping although I knew I should of been in bed.

I hit the ground, trees and other planes so many times it was pathetic.  Takes a bit of getting use to fighting so close and the sudden movements the enemy planes make.  All that lends itself to collisions.  But luckily the fight was low and close and didn't take long to get back into it.

I had a great time, way more than I was anticipating flying the WWI setup. <S>

Yep last night was a blast, pure dogfighting. One second you'd have a numbers advantage the next you'd be alone with four badguys... I haven't had that much fighting fun in years it was a constant brawl. It was almost like the game was new again. Nice job everybody on keeping it fun.

Sure as heck didn't LOOK like yalls first time.  Seemed like every time I got to the fight there yall would be swarming my butt.  You didn't even have to pull the trigger cause I'd either stall out or dive into a tree.  Farmer John was really unhappy about his barn and two milk cows.  <S> gents.

True true.  Knights of the sky, noble aerial gladiators, gentleman murderers.  Was lots of fun, in large part because everyone was so plainly happy and pleasant.

I screwed someone over as well. Dr.I went vertical, I went after it firing (and I think missing as usual), tried to avoid as he slowed but I think as he pulled over to go back down he smacked into the bottom of my bird. Closure rate can really get to you.

Have to agree was a blast and funny that at one point in time we had more numbers then the WW1 and MW arenas combined....  I havnt seen that many WW1 planes in the first day the WW1 arena opened!

THE Thing that amazed me was how suddenly those german planes could change direction. it'd seem i'm tracking a d7 one second, and next i know, he's pirouetted, and now coming back at me going underneath...........

 was MUCH more fun than i thought it was gonna be.

You guys flying the F2 didnt seem to have much trouble snapping around back on us......   But I do find the rear gun kinda funny...  I took out jaeger once while he was shooting from his rear gun.  I hit him from the front, full on hoe shot.  Told him i didnt consider it a hoe since he was in the back of the plane...  LOL
