Couple things.

Appreciate your flying style, not scared to fight without a 10k alt advantage.  This game needs more of this, and less chickenshit running.

Is there a way to post this on the YouTube page Animl started with that commercial?  Not entirely sure how youtube works, but content like this belongs in there.  I also think if we set up some nice 4vs4 or 6vs6 duels, and put the film from them on that page, it would do wonders.  The action produced from these would be intense.  No ego thumping, just 12 guys having fun and possibly making some killer footage for you video guys to create a masterpiece.

You could get a lot of good video footage from an hour or two of coordinated efforts from some like minded folks trying to have fun.  Probably more fun than you would find in the horde minded main arena.

Thanks for sharing!  Sorry for the rant!

Thanks! I was shocked when I looked back and saw smoke.

It's all coming back to me slowly but every once in a while I end up in a situation where my brain just goes 'yeah i dunno man just die I guess.'

Thanks! I can't help but turn hard, the doctors say it's incurable.

He could maybe have it show up in a card at the end or something, or link to it if he is so inclined. I don't know a heck of a lot about youtube either, I just got the tags figured out right the other night (had to go back and fix all the old stuff.) If we want to set up a big two sided dueling thing to record I'm there! I'd do it without recording just for the experience but I'll gladly put it on youtube. Could do a bunch of stuff with that.

I'd be down for that on a late Friday night or something. Would have to make a custom arena for it since the Match Play is no longer suitable for that. Would be a lot of fun.

I’m sure I could recruit a couple other JG 11 pilots as well if you wanted to do an axis for allies type thing, always looks better in video to have it look historical in my opinion.  :aok

Yeah you are probably right. 9cst seems about right. Or maybe even earlier like 4 CST while more people are awake. But the late night fights are always super fun.

Yeah you guys came to mind when I was thinking about this.

Like you mentioned, the historical planeset can make it that much more appealing.  Let's try and iron out a date at 8cst, all tuned to common vox and have some fun and likely make some sweet footage to promote the game.  I agree with using a custom arena to keep the right planes on the right side, we can swap teams to mix it up a bit too.  Low alt ceiling, and a couple beers. :salute

Before FSO might even be a good time as a warmup since most will be there and AvA minded already.
