The funniest must be Betty's first bombing mission.

 :rofl

Wow - that is funny and sad. I which I was a con in I-16 that moment over the filed... I would get so many proxies - scaring a hell of B-24s  :rofl

Which reminds me that once in AH1 I took a squadron of Stukas (4 or 6) with 1,800KG bombs to kill all hangars on an airfield.

The problem that I hadn't estimated the size of the hills around. We all did a controlled flight into terrain trying to climb with a huge bomb.

Hmm... not too many unique moments in Aces High. But I remembered these two last night, thought I would share them.

#1  It was just after a new map rolled and I see low B29s roughly 8k-10k. I was in my FM2 and was able to get one of them.  That poor guy  :rofl

#2  Was looking at the map to see a base flashing for no reason, no dar bar up, and no GV spawn to that base. So I took off in search for the source of the problem. To find out it was a goon who had landed. So.. I decided to land right next to him. The guy was apparently AFK. I was sitting there, eating my lunch. When I hear engines starting up, and then an explosion. 

I apparently scared the guy so much that he forgot that he had trees right next to him   :lol

Well it didn't happen to me but, our squad was doing a bombing mission with variety of bombers. As it happens it was one of the first sorties someone did with a B29 when they came out. He lined up over town was in perfect opened the doors and released the bombs.......... Too bad the town was a friendly town.. As he was turning back to get a second run he decided to make a missle out of his plane by ripping the wings off. Oh BTW I won't mention Babalons name here..

Karaya's "Candy Mountain" missions, in particular the one in which we upped Kates to torpedo ground vehicles that were attacking a friendly town.  I don't know what made me laugh the most, watching almost half the mission bail out mid-flight once they realized we weren't joking about attacking GVs with torpedoes, convincing the remaining that you could actually use torpedoes as bombs, or watching the chatter on 200 about the n00bs dropping torpedoes on GVs.

ack-ack

I remember that one like it was yesterday AKAK.  Hearing PK1 laughing at times when I was calling out false info, was epic.  I have created quite a few of them over the years with only humor being the catalyst.   Whether it be:

"Running of the Bulls" - Jeep races around the center town of dweeb island.   Only gv supplies were allowed to right your vehicle.   Whoever did the most laps around the outside of the town won.    Many a campers would simply laugh on 200 at the sight of 25+ jeeps ignoring the town and friendly gv's.  

"B-17 Fighter Sweep" - This one was a Delirium and Karaya idea spurred on a tiredness of the Baltic Map one night.   We upped from A43 and went NOE into A45.   IIRC, about 20+ of us had gunners as well.   Del was one of the few to rtb with kills, albeit in Corky fashion with oil leaks, fuel leaks and missing parts.

"Stuka Missions" - The first one saw 72 Stukas in a single mission and we decimated a town, capturing the base by accident.   The second one involved the dweeb island map, 102 Stukas, completely leveling two bases, their towns and SHawk and I in tears laughing when we realized that no one rolled a goon.  

"Another Baltic Moment" - Upped SBD's (since someone involved dubbed them inferior, might have been PK1) and a goon.   We rolled two bases in a row with everyone flying lazily in front of enemy guns and surviving.   Third base in, they finally put up some resistance and we were gladly unable to capture the base.  

"Dueling 17's" - A Raptor and Karaya operation.   We decided to get most of the 80th, some of SHawk's guys and Nazgul to duel in 17's down in the lower left corner of Baltic.   This one might go back to about 2005 or 2006?   Raptor and I augered trying to jockey for lower alt.   We reupped and flew the 1/2  of an hour to duel.   :o

"D3A's" - Hearing Floatsup whine on vox about "Great, there are 30 of you in Val's, but you cannot kill anything and we want this base.  Just stay away!"   About 1/2 of us landed at least 3 vulch kills when the base was captured.


Unrelated to Candy Mountain, I can only think of one moment.

"Donut Map" - I logged on to AH to find my friend Lazer pissed off that the Bish had taken all three bases in the crater.  I got with Lute/RacrX and spearheaded a truce with about 100+ Rooks and 60 Knights to retake Furball Crater.  It took about 4 hours, as we had to get the bases outside of the Volcano and then climb to 15k to enter the three base area.   Not one Rook was felled by a Knight and vice versa.   Rooks got their base first and escorted Knight goons to their town.

I miss donut map  :( . Wasn't there also a map that had 1 10K base right in the middle?

There are too many to recollect, even!

There are, however, 2 that instantly pop to mind for me.

The second was this FSO frame where we (USMC/71 Sqn) had to take off after everyone else since we were escorts...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fly972Mc1T0

Hit the button for more info and it has all the details. Breaks in video were FRAPS 30 second limit and me hitting record again really fast.

The first was a sortie long ago in FSO where USMC/71 Sqn had a good showing of about 14-16 pilots or so, and we were tasked to fly B5Ns on a long mission. We only had a handful of escorts and we had a very long mission, multiple targets to hit, and possibly even ships to sink. We split up into about 75%/25% with 25% carrying torps, to be saved for cruiser fleets we would encounter after bombing our targets.

Morale was high, banter was flying... In the pre-flight we were laying out the flight plan and how the CO wanted to keep track of who had the torps for later (for instant visual ID in case any were lost in combat) and I suggested simply having them take the second skin in-game, which was dark green. The rest used the default skin, which was all-white.

The white default: http://www.nakatomitower.com/ahskins/images/screenshots/b5n2_0.jpg
The green we used for torp designation: http://www.nakatomitower.com/ahskins/images/screenshots/b5n2_1.jpg

We even formed up, so that like roles were in formation together. So we're climbing out and our CO is still talking about how the mission is going to unfold  -- we got the basics beforehand, and on climbout and formup, as we rendezvous with our other elements, we continue to be filled in on all the finer details and so forth. We're in a happy mood overall and at one point of the more-detailed briefing, TracerX is saying something along the lines of "and that's when our torpedo bombers attack, those with the dark skin..." and there was a pause as if he was about to move on to another topic. I couldn't help myself. I chimed in over vox with as much nuance and inflection and double entendre as I could....

"They say you never go back..." and just waited.

My reward was my own off-vox laugh, but I thought it bombed with everybody else... until after a momentary delay for it to sink in everybody burst out laughing on vox for a sizable period of time. It was just one of those things, but we were still chuckling about that well into our mission.

I remember a while back there were a flurry of videos similar to this one I tracked down. I would love to see some of those again, those were epic.

There's a tool that makes those for you. It's still around. You just fill in the subtitles and it adds them at the bottom for you, or something. Those got old very fast.

Wasn't me, but I was one of the other bombers in the formation and had a front seat to witnessing that diving turn.  I want to say doright, maybe?  In his defense, the base was captured 5-minuts before we flew over, and it was intended to be the first of a couple targets we had lined up in a chain.
