What I miss about WB:
  • Instant resets without the arena going haywire so you'd get vulched by your erstwhile ack during takeoff.  That was always a good laugh.
  • Radar with just 2 arrows.
  • Those huge dead-6 blindspots behind the headrest which, combined with the relative lack of radar, made for many excellent swoops :D.
  • Uber P39s cruising at nearly 400 knots, leaving long trails of radio flames in their wake.
  • Those puffs and trails of smoke that looked like big astericks :)
  • KILLME
  • The dueling arena that spawned you at 15k every time you died.  Great for squad rumbles using the same field, just 1 big vertical meatgrinder ;).
  • No killshooter (miss that from DOS AW also)
  • Runway craters that would wreck your gear.
  • B25H
  • As has been said before, no Lamer7s.
  • As has been said before, no $15/month slackers.


What I don't miss about WB:
  • 4 countries
  • Ki84
  • Autogunners

I miss the P-38F and the whines when each revision came on how the P-47 was made either uber or crappy again and flying with the MOL when I was a member.

It was my first.  I loved it so much that my wife and I struggled through this one (she saw the CC bills). Will agree the community (on the whole) seemed much more mature.  KILLME was cool, although I never saw him:).  Friends I had made there are missed.   I made new friends here, and they have turned out pretty decent ones at that.
