Actually, this isn't quite right. There was only ONE plane. The ministry of Aeronautic Propaganda had accidentally referred to the plane as a "Typhoon" in an initial release for dissemination in the Pacific theater. It was meant all along to be named "Tempest" but an Aussie Radio operator, who apparently hadn't read Shakespeare said "WTF is a Tempest?" and assumed that there had been a problem with the telegraph. Under the pressure of his deadline, he inserted "Typhoon" instead. After the war he was reported to have said "Who gives a @#%$ the @#%$# airplane didn't even exist!"

You know....

That thing on Fox they did about how the moon landing was a hoax.. I didn't watch it.. but I went to a huge party that weekend at another college... and no BS, there were people there talking about it and they actually beleived all of that stuff that was on a FOX show (for toejam's sakes) was true and we never landed on the moon... the only argument they could come up with was "it was on that show".

And this was from people who weren't even born until 20+ years after the first moon landing!

Some people, if you beat their head in with a baseball bat and told them they were really having a caffeine induced migraine... they would ask you for aspirin.

2wktrial has 32 kills and has been killed 42 times.

The game seems to be a bit tough for you. Thats understandable. I am sure Fighter Ace would probrably more to your pace.

Aces high doesnt really model ww2 aircraft. HT makes planes up. Planes they wish were in ww2.

The b26 was a made up plane to scare the germans. Dont believe anything on this website. They are basically still carring on the b26 lie.


b26 Bombardment Groups


The typhoon, regardless of what you may have read :

Quote
Typhoon pilot John Golley left a graphic account of operations at Mortain, particularly the battle between 245 Squadron (which was especially active) and the 1 SS PanzerDivision on the road near St. Barthelemy. Their first attacks sprayed the tanks and transports with rocket and cannon fire, and a thin haze of smoke and dust spread slowly over the Norman countryside. The Typhoons broke off as they exhausted their ammunition and rockets, returning again and again to their strip to refuel and rearm. So intensive were the sortie rates that 245 Squadron, ever afterward, referred to August 7 as "The Day of the Typhoon."


or

Quote
The chief credit in smashing the enemy's spearhead, however, must go to the rocket-firing Typhoon planes of the Second Tactical Air Force. They dived upon the armored columns, and, with their rocket projectiles, on the first day of the battle destroyed 83, probably destroyed 29 and damaged 24 tanks in addition to quantities of "soft-skinned" M.T. [Motorized Transport]. The result of this strafing was that the enemy attack was effectively brought to a halt, and a threat was turned into a great victory.


These are just made up fictious stories with no basis in reality.

The lancaster never existed either:

Quote
The first Royal Air Force squadron to re-equip with the Lancaster was No. 44 Squadron based at Waddington in December 1941. The squadron in fact had the received the first prototype BT308 on strength in September for crew training. But this one aircraft could hardly be considered a total re-equipment of an operational squadron. No. 44 Squadron also had the honour of launching the first Lancaster offensive sorties, these being against Essen on the night of 10/11 March 1942.


and

Quote
3498 - Total Lancaster's lost on Op's all causes  (Failed To Return, Shot Down, Mid-Air Collisions, etc). Assuming a standard crew of seven the loss 3,498 aircraft represents the loss of 24,486 aircrew either killed, captured or injured.


and

Quote
In all, Lancaster Squadron's carried out 156,308 operational sorties dropping 604,612 tons of bombs, 51,513,105 incendiaries and laid over 12,000 sea mines.


were just propaganda ploys by the Brits and canadians.

The Tempests is the biggest myth of all:

Quote
On April 14, 1945, two Hawker Tempests of 486 (New Zealand) Squadron took off from the Volkel airfield in Holland in order to attack the railway yards at Ludwigslust. As they initiated their low-level attack, three Ta 152s of Stab/JG 301 were scrambled against them from Neustadt-Glewe, five miles away. Within minutes, the German aircraft hurriedly fell upon the New Zealanders. Oberfeldwebel Sattler, flying in No. 3 position in the German formation, lost control over his new plane and crashed vertically into the ground. In the following dogfight at almost tree-top level, Sattler's comrade Oberfeldwebel Willi Reschke displayed the superior maneuverability of the Ta 152 by out-turning and shooting down the Tempest flown by Warrant Officer Mitchell, who had no chance to survive.


This was basically a Nazi propaganda lie. :)

All this was a bit sarcastic but you really ought to head to the library and read some books on ww2 aviation. Also most new folks to ah need a period of adjustment. What other ww2 air combat games have you played?

You would now that gaining the advantage from someone who is trying to "ho you" is rather simple. Lephturn has a good article that may help you.

Ho Defense

Also if you are getting vulched all the time try upping at a different field. Pt boats are easy as all heck to kill.

You know as part of "field capture strategy" is to knock out the ability for surrounding bases to resupply a field. Again I dont know what games you play or have played but most of your complaints have more to do with your "newness" to ah.

To an earlier poster, yes you are correct, it was free and I have had two weeks at no cost to myself, for this I give small mercys.

Not knocking your game guys, just my observations that's all.

Thanks

You are the biggest Tool that I have come across in long time.  If you are as ignorant as to participate in a WWII flight sim. and not have the BRAIN CELLS to know your "falsified planes", than I guess my grandfather didn't carry his dead buddy ashore at Okinawa and turn down a Purple Heart?!  Thank you Sir William Stephenson at Bletchley Park for masterminding the biggest charade of all, WWII never really happened.

Go play jacks!

Is all that you said is really camoflauge for the fact that you couldn't leave your ego at the door for 2 weeks? You expected to come over from Brand X and rule in 2 days. Sorry but thats not the way it works.

It can take MONTHS to adjust to your former (not so hot) level of excellence. But thats ok, there's too many online now already.

Ace's High has a very steep intitial learning curve. No matter if you spent 16 years flying XXX.

Real sim pilots stick it out.

Cliche'

My god.. to think that someone that came up with a nick like "2 Week Trial" would be planning on doing anything other than troll at the end of the trial is suprising?

Next time, 2wktrial, you might want to throw something in about turbo-lazers and slam dweeb rides too.

I did think the "PT Boats zoom up" comment was a nice touch.

I give the troll a 4.  Too obvious and too ill conceived.

And I want to personally thank Ghost for helping me a bit in the TA, when starting out.  Hat's off to to you!!!!

I've been in for almost two months and have no need to EVER purchase a Flight sim, because I have found the best.

Thanks to all who may have helped along the way, and thank you AH for your sweat, blood, tears and whines.   This is a great bunch of guys we have and I am proud to be a part of it.  Once again, thanks to all.
