Remembering the improvements

[Getback]

When I first started AH one annoying thing happened over and over. That was when I shot the tail off of a plane the fuselage would flip back and up rapidly and you would smack right into it. Remembered this the other day when incredible to me I shot the whole tail off a lanc.

Then there was a time when you shot the tail off a B24 and the gunner would still be shooting you. That got me a few times too.

the 30 or 40 seconds of rounds pinging after you died and were in the tower.

The old glass tail 38, that irritated me to no end. One ping and poof, there goes your tail.

The old spit V with the uber boost and the 240 cannon rounds.

Oh wait, actually, that was awesome...

Igniting someone and they'd fly around on fire for what seemed like ages before it brought them down

Agreed, although I still love the current spit V heh.

Kill stealing. Shot a guys wing off and some guy swoops in and does more damage before the plane hits the ground. Also everyone who cheated (code for I sucked and thought there were hacks). The greatest improvement personally has been my understanding of the game.

Heh, just opened this thread to post this very thing! Yep, that was a huge improvement.

I've also liked the automatic filming feature very much.

   Remember when you had a 1 v 1 and you both shot each other down with a kill recorded for both of you. Now it's a race to the ground with the loser getting the kill and some sap nearby who never fired a shot getting a proxie.

It is as it has always been.  To get a mutual kill on each other you both have to die within the ping time to the server.
