Back in AH1, with my engine dead and looking for a field to land in. I noticed below me a large flock of sheep. Did you know "flock" comes from Olde English "flocc" meaning group? Anyway I looked down seeing all of these sheep lined up in neat patterns across the field. I decided to ditch there to admire the sheep. I misjudged my approach, and rolling up to the first sheep. I could see my wing would hit the sheep. I thought, poor little sheep. A moment later with a loud crashing sound effect, that sheep ripped my wing off and pitched my plane on it's back. A whole field full were arrayed behind it........

AH sheep are made of indestrucabletanium and are as strong as the Hulk. So why do we want them back?

Don't frickin ditch in a field full of sheep :cheers:

Sheep fiercely defend the flock. If you scare a flock by landing among them they can rip a human apart in a matter of seconds.

In AH1 I also remember than when you died, for a split second between moment of death and waking up in the tower you had a vision of sheep. I never really understood what that screen meant. Sheep are an integral part of WWII air combat gaming and an important tradition. They should be re-introduced to the game and make a doppler shifted "baaahhhhaaaa" sound when you fly low over them.
