I lost tons of them to that in the free night. Im not sure any one ever really shot me down in a 262, except on landing and takeoff  :) , but I did crash into mountains and the ground next to people many times.

I collided in a head on with JCy19 in a 262.

I didn't expect closure rates to be that fast.

Lost one to the wings ripping off (so THAT'S how many g's you can pull!) and when I augered about 5 minutes later  :) Watanabe was the closest enemy to me (Happy Birthday, Wat!)

Lost the next one to AlgyFT for obvious reasons  ;)

It's been a rare but pleasant treat so far. I think they have a place in this sim. 200 perks is about right. Never go up without a squaddie, that's the lesson I've learned in it.

We all have a blind date with Destiny... and it looks like she's ordered the lobster.

More importantly, has anyone "gone to plaid" yet?
