flying in ah2 and everything is so small and all squirmy and nothing holds still long enough to shoot at.
everything moves and flops around so fast
takes a thousand rounds to land 3 bullets
cant keep anything still enough to shoot anyway and end up flying around to get shot down after spraying ammo all over in vain.
back in my day we had ms twisty sticks and big fat targets and huge hit bubbles and death ray lazers and all the planes looked much bigger and the horizon didnt cause vertigo like the moving flat line fog horizon does today.
so its clear we need a senior citizens MA for those to slow and bored with shooting at micro-organisms from pont blank range and missing even when they hold still.
big fat dumb and happy targets that are eazy to hit and easy to kill. to old and decrepid to turn much or do any kind of evading.
by god bring back the geriatrics!

fester looking for ez kills?
-
no looking for fun instead of frustration.

Hear Hear , since I started playing this game I've gotten bi-foculs, arthritis in both hands and one knee , hearing has gotten to the point that I have no idea if vox is working or not , hordes have made it impossible to go afk for my many pee breaks , I have no idea where I'm going or how I got there and if by chance I do get there I do as Cit says , waste it all on one con punk who accuses me on open channel of alt f4 soes I don't die.
At least bring back easymode bombing so we have something to do.

Fester, I like your allegory. Hmmmmm yess if they would just stop wiggling those minute<-----(really microscopic teensy weensy) spitball receptors, and if I had a million more spitballs, I might just hit one once a week.:)

cute post. Maybe you can even get Hightech to install bi-focal glass built into the cockpit window, a 70's-style flip-down green sun visor, white wall tires on the planes (with moon hubcaps), a bullet sensor indicator to advise you visually when your plane is getting hit. A free subscription to AAA auto club (non premium service..if they have to tow your plane over 4 miles, you pay the difference), large side mirrors and rear view mirror. Oh ya, and MUST have turn signals (can't have collisions out there now)

Hey Fester we may be on the wrong track here. Is your PC too under powered to run AH2 with good frame rates????? Maybe we should anti up a kitty for "PC GERITOL" to get the hummmm back in your old PC's ticker..................:)

Just make it zero ammo loads for under age 50 subscribers.
Should spend all that energy before age 50 in learning to fly and just dashing to and fro in all that youthful exuberance.
THEN, on 50th birthday, get ammo as a reward. Something to look forward to in pre senior and near AARP years.

hehe..this is great. I'm 41 and my wife gives me heck for playing with all these 'kids' online.
If she only knew how many like minded people there are on here.
ooops...like minded....sorry if I offended anyone. heheh

Somewhere on this board someone suggested that if your having a problem to go into the TA and engage the friendly lock because you will find that where you THOUGHT your bullets were going is approx half the distance you really need to make a proper "lead" on an enemy. I took this advise myself and buzzed by quite a few of the players in there and I found this advise to be very true. I was amazed at how much of a lead you really DO need. Only downfall about this "lead" that you need is that if someone is out, say, 400 yards and they pull a hard turn on you, in order to get a hit on them you have to lose sight of them beneath the nose of the plane when you follow them into the turn. I have yet to figure out the trick in getting shots this way because at least 50% of the time once I bank in for the shot hoping a hit, the other player has pulled a reverse on me and I am unaware they had done it. Anyone have any suggestions on shooting when in close in this situation?

ATTENTION...you older folks please board these railroad cars, they will transport you to the "new" MA.... MOVE!

I hear ya fester.
Last three years I've pretty much lost my edge. Reflexes are like soggy toast.
Plus I burn out after a hard dogfight, have to go take a nap. I'm good enough to teach the new guys in the TA but thats about it.
3 kill sortie landed is a red letter day on the calendar that I'll remember for a month.
I agree that we need a 50 & up arena where we don't have to compete with the lighting reflexes crowd.
Nice small maps, wicked ack at the fields to prevent vulching, lots of small targets like bridges, barges, trains, trucks, merchant ships etc to practise on.

fester landed 52 kills in a tiger last night, i wonder how much "fun" that was, and he was attacking a base not spawn camping.

LOL Fester :D

My plane, my poor old plane. The paint is wearing off the prop spinner and the grey is showing through.
She creaks if I move her too fast and groans if I move her slow.
The mast for the radio doesn't stand upright as good as it once did,
and the fur on my flight jacket is getting pretty thin.
The guns don't reach as far, or cycle as fast as when she was young.
The canopy is warped I think as it's hard to see ahead, and twisting to look behind me makes my neck ache and then it's time to go to bed.
;) 49 and can't hit sh....er crap. Can we get flechette rounds in the cannon?

This is why I fly bombers. I do not need a lot of reaction time. Have plenty of warning when scanning the skies. Does not take a lot of skill getting that bogie comming up your 6. I am approaching 62
