And then before you know it they will be in the , co called, Lesser planes.
What was that Italian fighter, the c-205 or something, that had the two canon and two 0.50s and real good speed and handling? Very under rated when someone good was in it "not that I was". I remember having very tough times against very good sticks in Lesser fighters.
AH had some tremendous sticks at one time. I'm sure a few are still around. Some of those Euro players were murder.
We had some very good P-38 sticks to and you only needed to be in front of those nose guns once. They didn't miss. Of course it wasn't often you were in the altitudes where the P-38s could give you a very hard time. Thats why I have such great memories of "Big Week". Finally we were able to fight these airplanes at the altitudes they were designed for. <S>
Ive hooked up my hardware again and got it running. Im just wondering if I have the energy to play again. Frankly my health hasn't been very good but I'll probably try it again. Its good to still see some old names around. Any ex-484'th or Blind Bats still around? <S>
I hope you come back to fly a bit at a time, take it easy. Im sure you will find the types of action here and there, unfortunately not like it was in the old days. Which for you could be a good thing. In the old days you never wanted to log because it was just too much damn fun and so would over do it. Now a days its easier to find lulls where you can take a break, or just log until your feeling up to it again.
The C205 is a rare bird. We have some really awesome skins for it these days tho. There arent too many "super killers" out there any more. We have a new breed that is all about the kills and so are very good at picking, HOing, or vulching to rack up their kill count. Once you get them at any disadvantage their toast
We still have a few super killers and they always make for a fun fight, even tho I still lose most of them.
With the numbers lower, 120-180 depending on the night (US prime time) I wish they would really pull a number of maps. Some of the medium/large maps we have left never hit that special number to generate plenty of fights.
Come on back Rich, we need more players that play the game the "right way" even if you cant pull all nighters any more! <S>
