Aces High (and it's players)
« on: January 01, 2014, 10:27:43 PM »
I came first to this game in August 2013, when a really cool ad of WWII aircraft dogfighting came on tv. I rewinded it to catch the URL. "www.hitechcreations.com". I hopped on my computer, went to the URL, and downloaded my new addiction. I got in the game and only flew offline, considering I was going to have a lot of this happen to me:  :ahand. So got in game and saw my childhood crush: The B-17G. I flew it immediately. I took off, flew to the nearest visible island, and bombed (on accident) a friendly base all by estimate because I had no idea how to use the bombsight. (this is offline) I found out how, and decided to go online thinking I could go hit some enemy bases and meet the team. I was astonished to see three teams, not two. I talked on the help channel because I thought it was my team, no wounder I always had an enemy fighter at my target when I asked for escorts! :lol I met another newbie bomber pilot named EWM, and flew a P-51 escort for him. He went home and I ran out of fuel. I got used to the whole bombing thing, and flew for the knigthts, making my own squad. The 379th BG. Some of you may remember me landing some bomb damage under that name. The squad failed, seeming as I only ever had two members, bullspit, and burbur90. Burbur quit and bullspit just stopped showing up. He was my first friend on AH. Too bad he never renewed his subscription when the trial ended. I decided I would make more friends. Two of them being raynos32, and Rollo. They had a squad called bomber command that I wanted to join, but decided not to. Being a knight got kind of old. But I did make my first star there. I switched sides to the Rooks for a short moment, and met a mission runner named ET37. I was rook for a day. Then I went bish, and didn't like it. Something about that team..... I went Rook again, and stuck around. I flew a 17 with ET and asked to join the Devil Dogs, seeming as I needed a squad to call home. The Devil Dogs took me in and I have been one ever since. AH2 has been a great experience for me, and I have yet to meet a player who isn't here to kick back, have fun. Every player was helpful to me along my path. I'd just like to give one big salute to AH and it's community.  :salute It's been a great ride guys, and I'll be here for years to come assured.

Geez, I feel all warm and fuzzy.  Just don't mistake me for a sheep.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
