I remember on the island map we were in the se corner with only our main island fields left.

17 was under heavy attack.

I was on the rearm pad at a16 when the typical cap lock mission general starts about forming a mission from 16 to 17.

A few guys replied they would join but they didnt know how. Then the guy planning the mission could figure out the editor. He gave up and asked that anyone who was interested to spawn spits at a16.

They took off east from 16 where it drops off and theres a hill to the south. You need to fly a bit east to get around the hill.

I rolled right after them, there was about 9 of umm. Well their "leader" hung a quick right and tried to climb the hill. All his mission dudes followed. Well their leader stalled and smacked the hill and 1 by 1 the whole mission flew into the side of the hill.

I type something like "damn your whole just flew into that hill".

The mission leader dude types back "I guess you guys will me follow anywhere".

That was damn funny.

Kind of reminds me of the incident during, IIRC, WWII, where a destroyer group was sailing down the California coast in bad weather; the group commander screwed up his navigation and made a turn into a harbor he hadn't reached and ran aground, followed dutifully by all but one of the group following him.

In a prime example of military intelligence, the captain of the destroyer that held off the coast and didn]t run his ship aground faced a court-martial for departing from the formation without orders to do so. Regardless of that fact that he'd saved his ship by so doing (his navigator had a better fix on their position, so he knew they weren't turning in the right place).

You guys are forgetting the biggest clown in the History of Aces High ... Guntard26.

There are still screenies that pop up from time to time showing the worlds biggest tard. That guy almost made me switch from Bish.....just so I could shoot him down. In the end it was funner to broadcast his position and stay high above as he got shot up.

I don't think he was getting 6 calls or help from anybody.

I just think it's sad that anyone who would download and install a game, wouldn't take the time to read the rules first. Especially in a flite sim like AH, where you really need to know what yer doing in order to compete well. Instead, for a couple years now, I have seen over country and CH1 channels, questions asked by FNGz: "how do I take off?", "How do I land?", "what is the command for ?" ; "why do I keep on dying?"
I mean, take a moment to learn the rules first. The enjoyment part will happen sooner once they know the rules.

Wonder if he was flying near A12? There was a great Bish/Rook/Knight furball going on there yesterday afternoon.

Not sure if it's as bad as I posted a mission to take a base back. Bout 20 cons upped in a hanger. Well the hangers flight path went str8 into another hanger. Needless to say we all went str8 into the hanger. Nothing like a fudged mission to start off with.

I saw just the opposite last night in the CT. P62 has the bunker on the base instead of the town. I manned field ack and could only watch as a goon dropped troops way over in the town.

Monday night- 10:30 CST
I came out over the water gaining alt as I went. Cocked, locked and ready to rock, check for dot dar, nothing. Heading south gaining alt slowly in sector 10,10. Check dot dar....woaaaaaaa wait a mainute, NME on my 6 on dar.
Bring her around, nose pointing directly at dot on dar, check high.....nothing. Check low ........nothing. Pass through, dot now appearing on my 6 on dar. Roll to inverted, check all views..........nothing. WTF? Thinking to myself this must be either aliens or an invisible plane. Turn on film , crisscross area twice more at aprx. 16 to 13 K, pass over area.......nothing. Shrugging I headed to Bish port that was being attacked. Just as I was leaving the sector I glanced at text. Steve says" lol squid shows up as bog on dar". Slinking away I`m thinking , at least it`s not aliens.

Still the best - heard it on Vox.

"Low chute... Lets GET him!"

The conviction was inspiring.

Is this the guy who changed his handle to 42..thinking 2X26=42? When it was pointed out the 2X26=52 he then said "And people say I'm stupid"?

If so..I didn't forget it. It is the all time best I've seen.
