Well, that's a good thing then.  :aok

Incidentally, over at IEN, I was known and the Red Ghost because I was elusive on the ground while tanking in Armoured Assault and in the air flying Mossie bombers in Warbirds. My handle over there was and still is .... Banshee.  :x

Nice to see country pop stars are still stringing cliches together to make songs.

Evel Knievel was using that phrase in the 70s.

Damn you, HiTech....damn you sir.  :furious

LOL!

Bring us the eye candy! Bring us the strat! Bring us convoys and railways! Bring us the staged missions in the MA! Bring us the Glorious Dweebery, you b*st*rd!

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

 His "skill" is a bit off cuz im yapping about golf with Josh on vox :bhead
  
 Winging up  with Banshee is always a blast, it usually ends up with us diving into a small sea of red  :D

  This past week i also had a couple great fights vs 2Dizzy in my A8 vs his YakT (i believe) to the point where we both rtb'd cuz we were out of fuel or ammo.

Childhood is over the moment you know your gonna die.  Fight not to Fail, or end up like the others.   In my crate, im the commander.

IE a noob in a KI84 is still gonna lose to a fighting vet in a spit1. ( I say "fighting" vet because sadly there are many "vets" who have no clue as to how to fight...sure they can tell you the names of all the ACM but they have absolutely no clue how to implement them.)

I'm a "vet" and I've been flying a Spit I and I've been shot down by many noobs.  I don't care who you are you won't win when the odds get stacked ridiculously high against you.  At that point you're just another loser.  Another funny thing is that it's often other "vets" getting the kills on me while hiding in the safety of their horde.

cant disagree with you there :aok

I was talking a straight up 1vs1 taking a spit1 into MA is not what I was talking about....that is like......a bee trying to dissuade a bear from its honey.

you take any of those noobs to DA and give him a 16 you take the 1....what are your chances?

and ya I know all about the "vets" in this game....why do you think you barely see me on now a days?

game itself still kicks ass....the player base...thats a whole different story.
