Blizzard's Birthday-Who's Interested?
« on: July 28, 2022, 10:50:31 AM »
Okay so one of my cadet pals, callsign Blizzard, is having his birthday tomorrow. He does not have an MA subscription, and he's not very good at the game, but he does love doing silly stuff in Aces High/War Thunder/etc.

So here's what I'm thinking: Set up a custom arena for this, disable all guns on every fighter/stuff like the A-20 Havoc, so the only options are to ram people with fighters or dogfight in heavy bombers.

I figured it'd be a tad boring with just him and I, so I want to know, is anyone interested/able to make it around noon EST tomorrow for this? Should be like Monday Night Madness with an extra emphasis on the "Madness" part!  :airplane:

This sounds like a blast, right up my ally. Alas, I'm beholden to the GF for the rest of the weekend.

20+ years ago, in WBs, the EZ Targets would all get together in the dueling arena for the Aluminum Waterfall.  The only real difference between that and MNM today is that everything was air start and you could fly any a/c in the inventory.  I used to love to launch a B25 with the ottoes blazing and firing that quad .50 nose gun.  So, I'm in.

Cool! Kong and Decoy, we're looking at Noon Eastern Standard Time, which is 11 AM for my CST.
I'll figure out how to set up an arena, the title will be really obvious. You'll know which one it is.  :cheers:

Sad y'all couldn't make it today.  :aok

The party was a blast! decoy and TangoRay showed up, along with me and Blizzard. We did such atrocities as me ramming Blizzard 3 times in a row with a 262 while he was in a wrecked Spit on the ground. Somehow, it took THREE hits to actually kill him! Oh well, 262s didn't cost anything  :rofl

Before long it just turned into an HVAR air to air fest! At one point I rammed decoy's formation of B26s with my Spit 16, managed to take all three of them down in one go because I damaged the leader.  :rofl :rofl

Lots of hilarious HVAR rocket kills, I scored a few myself. Very satisfying.

Thanks guys, I wanted to do something for Blizzard's birthday, and this was the best I could come up with.  :cheers:

Tig, I just posted the screenshot of the view from my cockpit after that last epic ditch.  You got everything but my joystick and me.  It's in the screenshot forum under Blizzard's Birthday.

Lot's of fun today.

You would have liked an old Squad that inhabited this game awhile back
