Fear? You bet your life...but that all leaves you as you reach combat. Then there's a sense of great excitement, a thrill you can't duplicate anywhere...it's actually fun. Yes, I think it is the most exciting fun in the world. — Lt. Col. Robert B. "Westy" Westbrook, USAAF 6/<--lol@mod

I'm just glad people don't take computer games to serious.

Not sure saying 'back in the day' is the correct answer but........... I learned in MacAW..... there were guys like Ren, Fool, Columbo, Pars and others who were awesome in acm.  More importantly, they would take you aside and teach you.  Yep, we were really just a bunch of OLD guys who loved the history of airplanes and the ART of dogfighting.  Yes, sometimes our online bills reached the 700 dollar mark and beyond per month....not mine.....just $400 :) .  Today?  the advent of eye candy bang bang shoot em up games have become the norm.  The history lesson has given way to an arcade game.  If you want to keep history and realism (to the best we can achieve) grab a new guy and help them..... don't be a smartass and play the typical type alt f4 crap.  You old guys know who you are.... I'm guilty too of not helping enough but will try better in the future.  Who's in?

Actually it's been a good while since I've seen the "alt f4" used in-game, least on Rook.  Mostly it's, "Go to the TA.  Someone will answer your questions there." or "Go to the website and read the help section.  Answers are there." or various usage of words that literally amount to "stupid noob".

Besides, Alt F4 for nukes IS real.  Up a B-29 and take a look over your R shoulder. :D

pandora come play world of tanks with us.  then you'll really see some really bad players  :D.  but taking a break is good.  I can only play every other week due to work and now I am looking at at least a month before i can play again as my throttle broke and I dont want to spend money to buy another before the x55 is out.

Tanks HO! hehe
