Mmm P47s  :devil.

Same path here. Fully tuned B17s in AW3 were called Deathstars too. Couldn't do much with P47 in AW but in here it was a match made in heaven. You get so harassed as the easy kill that she teaches you evasives. To the point I feel in control only when someone dives in my 6.

AH was a big chunk of my life, will always have a special place in my heart.

 :salute to my online brothers in arms.

(S) Frenchy, flew many late evening squad missions Pacific time with your squad in AH...great fun!

Back during The Few vs AoM rivalry this game saw some of the best fights...unfortunately these days your average furballer is using all the modt garbage tactics.

I used to work with him at CH Products, and knew him from playing AW before that.  He's the one that got me to try out Warbirds.
