FSO and Scenarios

[xanax]

I got annihilated tonight in FSO. Took off in a Boston and got beat up by Spits just before getting a chance to drop eggs. Re-upped multiple times in a Yak and got snuffed multiple times by dreaded AK's and others. I did manage to shoot down an F4 Wildcat and got some hits on others....overall not a good night stats-wise but you know what? Great fun and excitement while flying and dying amongst friends....even the enemies are cool dudes despite being AK's and such...AK's are cool fellas nonetheless. Good sports and classy...what more to ask for?


Some of the excellent aspects: good fun and banter amongst squad mates and teammates, head on swivel excitement as there is no AWACS in FSO. Huge furballs.....which are always fun. Strategy and planning along with instinct and luck......great fun and the reason I still pursue this game.

The main arena is fun enough and I need to fly in there more as it's great practice for FSO and scenarios. But yeah, I definitely get a better sense of realism and excitement flying the special events.  Highly recommended.

It'd be great to get some more squads involved on Fridays. Yeah, it temporarily deflates the MA numbers but they come back. As long as there is FSO, I'll shell out $15. That's money well spent.

You should take some of this points in the post and make a rating on steam with it. I think special events, scenarios, and FSO are the hidden greatness of AH, but many dont even know they exist or are part of the game. In almost all the reviews, no one talks about special events and how great they are, that no other game provides this level of large organized strategic squad based battles based on real battles in WW2. Yes they are tough but they teach so much, SA, wingman tactics, strategy, staying alive, the thrill of real combat furball. They are really one of the best things AH has to offer and hardly anyone knows.

It's always in the back of my mind when I'm having too much fun in an event, that the other side might not be enjoying it as much. So it's great to hear the other side had fun last night too! This has been a great month for FSO, quick action, great fights, and challenging. I never got too comfortable, and always felt like I was one wrong move away from getting blown out of the sky.

I hope everyone comes out for Frame 3 this upcoming Friday! Newcomers are always welcome! And many squads, including the AKs, will happily bring on guests. Just reach out to a squad and they'll point you in the right direction.

Definitely this. MA is fun, but FSO and scenarios bring an aspect of this game to the player not found anywhere else! If you are a WW2 air combat enthusiast...you cant beat the immersion in FSO and scenarios. Big <S> to those who host, create, plan, and run these events. Thank you

Well said Awful! 

Always a good time, even when I’m drunkenly grumbling because I keep getting shot down 

I look forward to FSO every week, many of us have been flying for over 20 years together. It’s not just a game to me, it’s spending time with my family.

Once someone tries FSO and Scenarios, it can become very addictive and MA truly becomes just practice

The AKs used to let me fly with them in FSO. Great bunch of guys. Glad to know they're still around. I've flown with many squads in FSO over he years and they definitely were the ones that had it together the most out of all of them in my experience. I'd much rather have them on my side in FSO.
