The end of the world. Just like every other year.

Around that time I encountered the first time a certain pilot who's main traits were excellent flying of the Yak-9t and constant complaining about how nobody fights anymore and how lame everything had become.

Says you? After just one experience and all the years I've been in this game, it's your opinion I whine after every 1v1? We all have our bad nights when nothing goes right, even you Ace.

fair enough.. but i've learned that when that happens I need to adapt and fly the right tool to go kill those mfers... suddenly everything is right again and the game is fun! just my opinion..  :D

all airplanes here are easy rides.  just some people think they only fly the "harder" ones while everybody else flies the "easy" rides.

Speaking of 1v1, JUGgler would you be interested in said 1v1?


I certainly would be interested if currently playing!

Haven't played for a year or better I guess, currently I see no return in my future!

But Thanks for the offer  :salute :salute

  Looks like a "Look how long Ive been here!" post.

   Dont blame the AW crowd for "ruining" the game for you.  Many of us were all about the fight, and its possible if we had all gone to WW2OL or something else as a group, this one may have died early.

Welp, I've taken a liking to the 47 lately and since you seem to be the premier jug pilot it would be a great way to learn... although I could avoid yanking the stick back as hard as I do...

Anyway, it was worth a shot.

   Horde fighting 101

   Get a fast plane

   Zoom through Horde and pick up 5-8 cons on six

   Egress from horde center mass

   Watch as they drop off looking for an easier target

   When down to 1 or 2 engage

   enjoy fight  :D

i would pay double...and im the easiest to kill player in the game :lol :salute
Remember when, back before AW players arrived and the senseless hordes that grew from that later on..  Is it not cool anymore to fly out on your own looking for good 1v1 fights and not in some late war easy ride?

Seriously starting to wonder if it's even worth $15 a month anymore.
