You must have joined after the Great Mossie Raid, when Kesmai turned on the guns on Mossies for the first time, and the ground was littered with the blood, guts, and feathers of pilots who had gotten complacent about the fast but unarmed Mosquito.

Unfortunately, Gray Eagle's picture of the Great Mossie Raid is no longer available from any of the websites with his artwork on them that are searchable. Pity.

I miss the RR Arena   key word being "RELAXED"
Korea was great.  10K was plenty of alt, didn't take forever to get to the fight or get home. Knife fighting Jets was a blast!

I miss being good at a flight sim. :(

Reached #11 in FR one month. Usually in the top 25 or so.

Harder to get the motivation here, or maybe I'm just getting old.

97% of HO hits were rejected by the server, you could score HO pings, but it wasnt a reliable tactic to count on a kill.   Unlike AH where some live by HOs and wouldnt know the difference between a split-s and a chandelle

Only if the bonus was turned on. It wasn't in the AW3 arenas on Gamestorm/EA. Centerline lethality multiplier was set to 1.0 (nil).

I'm not sure, wasn't involved with arena setup back then, but I think moggy may have used a 1.25 centerline lethality multiplier in AW4W at AOL. Perhaps that was carried over into AW2/3 there as well?

Isn't this game dead?  I swear you people and your love for AW is hilarious.  Why can't you accept AH for what it is and talk about this game now?  You don't see threads in here about how great FA was or god forsaken Warbirds or what not.  Let it go Jim she's dead.  And I really do miss paying $30 a month.

Glad we could amuse ewe :)

Who says we dont?

Take Nobaddy, the guy I replied to, for instance. He's involved to the hilt - or haven't you noticed that great new MA terrain he built, and is continuing to refine? Have you contributed anything similar lately?

and talk about this game now? [/QUOTE]

Who says we don't? Try a posting search on any of the handles you're whining about. No harm doing a little reminiscing, too.

Hmmm....that certainly says something, eh? :)

Bugger off this thread, if you don't care for it, how about?

I'm sure HTC would gladly accept a $15 honorarium along with your monthly $15 payment ;)
