BT I remember the name from way back in the old days. If you are looking for a place to fly for a while with a squadron just drop me a PM and we can make that happen. Take it easy on all the noobs that mess it up and just have it your way.

I totally remember the Screaming Eagles :)

Arabian Knights were also really big back then as well.

Hope to see you guys on this evening. I got called back into work at 7EST last night. Our shipping app went down- and for a company that is a distributor.. no logistics = no money. So I was up all night and I am still at work :) Fixing to go home finally and hit the hay. Will be on this evening for sure with a 6 pack going to the first person to  :ahand :)

In 15 years nothing has changed.  It's all in one's perception.

So.. my old stick.. dead   :mad: It was the Saitek X45.

Guess I will be going to Best Buy and picking up a good old stick/throttle one unit for ~$40. Will eventually get a new HOTAS setup.

Fly FSO. trust me.
Yup, thats all FSO (Friday Squad Ops) IS, coordinated squad play ONLY=) You will have a wingman, and an historic job to do, escort BUFFS, fighter sweep, attack badBUFFs.....You must be in a squad to participate, but walkons allways welcome, cause
any squad thats under their assigned limit can let you fly with them.

Looking forward to climbing back in the cockpit of the F4U, F6F, and P51. My try my hand at some German iron this go around however. I always admired the 109 drivers for some reason. And one thing I miss is the thrill of attacking bomber formations for some reason. The joy I had from seeing a wing rip off of a B17 was unlike any other I had.... until I brought my first girl home to NOT meet my mother.  :devil

Well, hayze, once I get online, I'll fly my B-17s nice and low... So I can demonstrate my lethal gunnery!!!!muahahahaha!!!! :devil

I like being the bomber formation being attacked... it appears as though we should meet online sometime.

:D

good news is the game looks pretty much just like it did in 2002.  Cockpits got an upgrade thanks to IL2 and the tanks recently got retreated thanks to WoT.

Can't wait to get into some GV wars as well :)

Flew in a mission in the SEA today. Flew a group of B17s. Was a ton of fun. It was challenging keeping a tight formation and I managed to gets bombs away right before I was downed by a 109. Leveled some building. It was pretty intense... Everyone was calling check 6 on me while I was gazing down the bomber view.

Man I missed this! See you guys in LW :) been flying on the Knights with the Pigs on a Wing guys.

The AK's....  :rock

Don't base your view of the game on what you find on the forums.  It's a vocal minority who frequently have nothing else do do but whine..

On my old squad I had a guy who always complained about people HO'ing when HO'ing was his only ACM tactic... 

Sign up, have fun, fly the way YOU want to fly.  As far as 200 goes, I keep it tuned so I can watch the drama.  It's seriously funny...
