They have a dropbox set up, so there should be no problem there.
I'm half certain the La7 work isn't Skyyr; the ailerons aren't welded up.

Some very skilled shooting. A lot of nice angle work and cutting corners.

Aces High is a game that frowns on HOs in the forums yet many still take them in the game. I try and avoid them yet if one is presented with one and your the better shot? Then I guess winning answers all other questions. Besides in a furball avoiding an HO and going for separation can put you in a bad position too with other enemy AC.

Do you guys fly LW exclusive?  :salute Good to see an entire squad coming into the family and enjoying themselves.

Quote from: Someone who was Rule #4ed
Removed before it gets Rule #4ed but something to the effect that I claimed The Damned are the best squad EVAH!

Really?  I can't personally recall ever saying or even insinuating such.  But then again I don't constantly post that the way I and my buddies fight is the only way to play the game, and then insult and redicule those who don't fly in that manner.

Quote from: Same Rule #4ed Guy
Ditto, but basically stating that the great squads make videos and whatnot but don't claim to be "Da Best".

Really? Perhaps someone should hold up a mirror. Here's some recent posts for you to ponder:

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,363390.0.html

Or a selection from one of my recent favorites:

Aces High, by virtue of its design, always unmasks the skilled vs. the unskilled and score is not a measure of either.  Have fun...doing it your way just be very careful of claiming uberness because we already know whether you are...or whether you are not.

Nothing explicitly stated, to be sure, but the implications are there just the same.  Not a "we are the best squad", but rather "we are the best, period".  


Edit:  Edited to remove all Rule #<fill-in-the-blank> material....er...hopefully!  :old:

Thanks! Yes we mainly fly LW (no particular country affiliation). Also, agreed on the head on statement :)

I just looked at the last FSO logs and unless I missed it, I don't see "The Damned" listed there.  Do you guys fly FSO's?  If not, why not please?
