If you think AH ever had a hit bubble surrounding the aircraft please post your reference.  

Also keep in mind that any differences in damage and gunnery worked both ways.



My references are:

Levi, Bighorn, Batfink, Morfiend, and Ghosth.

Please feel free to contact them directly.  Thanks.

This is not true.  AH1's hit model was different. AKAK has mentioned it repeatedly by version.


That's my recollection as well.  Might not have been a "bubble," but shooting planes down was easier - perhaps because they took damage differently, I don't remember.  I DO remember one very prominent P-51D flyer who got angry and quit the game (for awhile) when he found he couldn't routinely shoot down enemy a/c at 1000 yards anymore.

I want to throw Fulcrum's name into the mix....

Not because of his skill in game(we all know he has little there)...

But because he can talk ACM with the best of them here on the BBS, it's beautiful...

He also likes to send PMs about people's trolls which really brighten my day....

Thanks for being who you are Fulcrum, well I guess you might not be "being who you are" in game, word on the street is you got a new name...

But I digress, Hope your 15 year old is having as much fun playing video games as I am :aok

I second this motion. Fulcrum has been an invaluable asset to our squadron. In fact, one of our latest (and most popular, I might add) Aces High video productions would not have been as effective or downright hilarious as it was if he hadn't predicted the way that everything was going to play out, almost to a "T." Truly, it was like having a God's-eye view into the mind of our vanquished opponents before they became so.

Coupled with his wide variety of experience in flight sims in general, he's truly a river of knowledge. He's actually quite the expert pilot in other sims as well. He's a well-rounded aviation expert.

But... you don't know how to E fight  :headscratch:

Sure I do its the 1st thing you learn to stay fast :rofl, Its what you call the 1st level but I guess you didn't understand what I wrote. Sorry just bores me and way past that, if I wanted to fly like that could land 20 kills a sortie just not fun for me been playing to long for that. I probably used the re-arm pad 10 times in the last 10 years  :D. Why i don't fly much any more gets boring sometimes but your new so you don't have any idea what i am talking about and the company your keeping you my never get it.

Think you getting as delusional as your buddy and that is said because you did have potential at one time.  :frown: Not sure if the community can snap you out of it before its to late.

That's exactly it. You don't back up your claims even though claiming my flight style is basic and easy.

You should all admire me though because I'm obviously the best pilot there ever has been and ever will be in the history of combat flight sims.

It is simple when you believe a  style who's  primary goal is not to die is the best, it is best accomplished by staying in the tower. You can then 100% achieve your goal. This is exactly like real life, I would be 99% of the pilots of WWII would have preferred to stay in the tower if they had a choice.
