One of my first sorties in a p38 I was flying towards a furball and dove into the fight, locked up and flew straight through the fight and lawndarted into the ground lol.

I fell for the rope do often it wasn't even funny - AH1 though.  In WBs I tried to outturn a zero in FW many times before I finally figured out it just won't work

I really liked how WB displayed kills immediately in the buffer. So if you taunted someone on open channel, people could see which one lived up to his words lol. It also enabled you to hunt certain players when you saw them kill your friends.

ok heres one.
When I first came here the first bird I flew was the YAK because thats what I flew in AW. First flight in the game ever I got 2 kills. But I didnt like the way it flew because I couldnt fly it like I did in AW. So I switched to the FM2 and then the 109F which I could fly similarly to the way I flew the YAK in AW

It was probably a year before I knew what ENY was or why anyone would care about it

We made it as fair as we could, us 2 vs 15 of you guys sounds like good odds :) . Actually that's incorrect. It wasn't 2v15, it's more like 1v1v15 as I try to steal all of Crabby's kills and he tries to steal mine  :devil

I made the mistake of flying with and putting my trust in Coalcat many times.

That's right!  I forgot about the live buffer - that was awesome.  I wished we had that here.


It would especially work for the large egos that carry around several kills and get shot down :evil:

IIRC AH that something like that until tour 30 (july  2001).

Considering we only have half the number of kills now, you might be able to lobby for it's return...  :noid
