The one screenshot I want to see.
« on: May 21, 2002, 01:41:52 PM »
What if the whole HTC office upped in B17 boxes, then flew in a close formation and took some screenshots to show us dreaming buffers, at least it would give us something to drool over ;)

Another note, when I joined AH at day one, I really missed the bomb run setup from WB, it was way to easy in AH, I am really glad they will make it require some skill to actually hit anything now :)

Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

What's that? A group of Imperial Star Destroyers mutilating some hapless X-Wings? Just look at that turbo laser show! Strange that the Empire should have switched to yellow lasers though.

I killed 5 out right and 3 assists in one pass. There 20 plus buffs in this formation. This one here was my second kill.

Drool... and after 1.10 it will be 4 x the numbers of B-17s in those pictures.(If same mission was flown again:))

(Still waiting for a official picture from the HTC office, with a lot of bombers on);)

Big Week was great!

I was one of those B17's and it was definitely great and exiting event.

I hope we do it again with 1.10

:D

Wotan were those b17 pilots having a lunch somewhere?

Because I can't see any way you could survive that kind of 6 pass on an alert gunner.

There were so many attackers that as a buff pilot you didnt have time to see all of them. It was totally different than in MA. Also icons showed much shorter range than in MA.
