Disbanded due to real life and squaddies who just aren't having fun anymore.
I personally still think the game is a hoot and 2 of my kids, one 25 one 12 have taken up interest and have thier own account so watching them learn is to say the least , historacal.
Training Corp are fantistic with newbies by the way
Anywho some of the guys have migrated to larger---------------------- less talented ----------squads so as not to be flying solo most nites. I'm glad they did cause not having fun leads to quitting and these guys are a select few of the remaining vets that AH needs.
Some of our core guys like Rude, Toad, Beemer have unfortunately gave up the ghost . They were a large part of the glue for TAS and someday I'm sure they and the 13th will be back.
cyas up:)
-
S! to the 13th TAS, i only knew a few of you, but a class squad no doubt.
heres to your return.
-
13th sorry to see you leave us.
-
what a sad day....~S~
-
Bummer.
13th TAS, you guys were some of the classiest player around... and yet still dweebs. :p
-
The 13th was and always will be a squad I admired.
You guys always loved to mix it up and valued "the fight" more than the kill. Very respectable bunch of guys here.
I know there is a place for you here with the Blue Knights Sax. So if your lookin for some guys to fly with, I hope you take Levi up on his offer which I'm sure will stand indefinatly.
-
first the fatboys break up now this....sad day
oh and stay away from the Blue Knights... They are spreading like roaches:p
-
Horde busting dweeb exterminating cockraoches :aok
-
Sorry to see the squad go, I remember my time with the squad way back when... wasn't in for very long but always had a good time flyin' with you guys.
-
This is indeed sad news.
13th
-
Sad, but no surprise - the part about not having fun any more.
Does anyone still doubt that gameplay is more important than graphics?
For my £ the gameplay needs a purpose above and beyond being a theatre for wannabes to show off their Spit V prowess.
How much longer before TOD?
-
not as long as a list of all your whines put together :p
-
13th TAS
Glad to still the majority of you guys in the game. If any of you still talk to Toad, let him know that I hope he is feeling better.
:D
-
Beetle Not everyone who left the game did so as a result of disliking its game play.
I'm sure you are very aware that real life situations can have an affect on if we are able to play as well.
I was lucky enough to work around mine and am still able to play as a result. I enjoy this game very much. As much as you will flame me and many others for how we play and fly, I really dont care. (btw I could teach you a thing or two about cherry picking and wingman tactics) so dont just say we're all furballers and nothing more as you have in the past.
Game play is a big part of the game. Hell, it is a game after all. You either adapapt to the changes or move on. But like I said, not everyone who moves on did so because of the evolution of the game.
-
A big
guys.
IMHO 13th TAS was the gold standard of AH sqauds.
(Relax FDB's, you're still the Golden Ale standard)
-
"(Relax FDB's, you're still the Golden Ale standard)"
"Ale"? I think the word that fits better would be "Stream."
to the 13TAS. I enjoyed bumping into you folks online in the game. Always a challenge (except one time when LLB and I, using ME262's, did to a few of you what you do to others with 51's. Always a fun tiem to be had when you're 100mph faster than the opponent ;) )
But no matter the outcome I always saw a while drifting down in my chute and that made you all classy adversaries IMO..
-
13th...
I was 13th recruited by Yeager back in late 2000. That's where I learned to fly the AH version of the P-51 aftrer just coming over from AWIII. The 13th was a great squad with high standards.
It was a shame when the 13th disbanded in April 2001, but it was good to see them reforming as "Rudes Raider" and later converting back to the 13th TAS name.
During the time that the 13th still flew P-51s, the 412th lived for the rivalry and being able to find a group of P-51s to fight it out with. Many great fights were had between our two squads.
Once the 13th switched to Spits Vs and FM2s and the like, we didn't run into each other all that often, however, when we did it was still a good fight.
Always admired, never forgotten...
-
Wow, I'm having a hard time accepting a flight sim world without 13th TASholes around.
Good luck finding a new home Sax.
-Sik
-
Bad news but Salute to the 13TAS!!
Had many fights with and against this squad. First class group of Sim pilots all the way!
Many times have we partaken in the aerial joust!!
:aok
-
shame to see a squad like yours go :(
I remember when Lazs and myself got together on a private channel, sent our 2 cv's on a collision course, killed eachothers cruisers - just to start a mass furball between CV aircraft :D
-
Sorry to hear this guys.
to a great bunch.

Onwards and upwards! :aok;)
-
I got the pleasure to fly with 13th TAS for awhile when the 56th all but disbanded early last year. They are a great group of guys that I still think of as my friends.
Sorry to hear the news. All the best to those that moved on.
P.S. Mars is crazy :D
-
13th :(
Another ancient squad moves on. Hope to see you fellers together in the future.
-
That is too bad.

LOL RedDg, I was wondering where you went. I Always had a blast winging with ya.
Ahhhh Beetle you can really get morph going. LOL. I see your posts, think "what a Maroon :D", think thank god gameplay sucks :D, thank God your English, chuckle and then move on. LOLH
Morph he didn't quit his new ID is shubie LOLH. Notice they are never in the same post together. MO is same "Cherry Picking Toolshedders" :D
I thought of you last night Beet when I killed a Niki in a turn fight with my Hog (1D) :aok:D
-
I think of beet1e daily, just before I flush.
Good luck finding a larger squad who is "as" talented as the 13th was Sax. Cough cough.

ROFL streetstang! See? Mars01 knows how to deal with my piss taking remarks. :D I love Mars01!!

Yes, you could teach me about wingman tactics. And for as many wingmen as you always had, I'd say that wingman tactics was an indispensable parameter within the AH gameplay equation! :lol
But I guess your vulching technique needs honing up - particularly with regard to ack avoidance. Or did HTC implement changes to acks - flashing orange lights to warn you of active acks, maybe? :rofl
Stang, you young trollop! I love ya! :aok

Hehe, believe it or not, I won a turnfight against a N1K in my 109G10! The N1K was wrag - I have the film (AH1) :cool:
-
Ahh yes fighter combat squads, how quaint.
-
I have the film (AH1)
no doubt ....
-
lol u shmuck, its time for you tea and crumpets.
And Mars, I know he quit the game. Ever since you haven't seen that 1 lone G10 hovering above a crowd awaiting a pick.
You, in the 3+ years I've known you, haven't flown with me once. Yet the simple fact that you make statemants which are absolute assumptions is yet another prime example of what kind of Ahole you really are.
Your all talk beetle, and that's all you ever will be.
I can garrantee that when TOD comes out you will ***** and moan about that too. Just for the sake of doing so.
This game isn't for you, it never was. In fact the both the game, and you are better off apart from eachother.
-
Semper Fi !!!!
I know it doesn't need to be said and Beet I know your slinging mud, but god forbid you run into Morph in AH, he'll take care of you so fast you won't have time to record it or learn from it. :D.

LOL - way too late for that to be a possibility - and even later for me to care about it! :D

Beet vs Morph round 125...
LOL

Flyin' solo again sux:(
I really enjoyed my time w/ the 13th TAS. I'm still not the greatest fighter, but the guys helped me improve by leaps and bounds!
13th TAS
-
Recon....
If ya would like to fly with me and the guys I fly with...feel free ANYTIME. I would welcome it for sure. I'm SURE beyond a doubt that my squad would as well. Any of the 13th TAS guys looking for a place can fly with us if they want.
we Fly V's 99 percent of the time and are Knights.
Join us ANYTIME bud.

LOL - the boy has a nasty left hook - fortunately for me, it's in his mouth most of the time! :lol
13th TAS - I always enjoyed exchanging ideas with you guys about game preferences, maps, and pretending we didn't care how the other guy flies but then writing reams about it, filming you guys when you didn't know I was there and then posting the pics :p
You were all great sports about it - as you had to be - especially Mars01. I hope that for those of you who remain, the game will continue to deliver what you want from it. Morpheus is right in a sense - what I wanted from a game is perhaps very different from what you guys want.
-
And Mars, I know he quit the game. Ever since you haven't seen that 1 lone G10 hovering above a crowd awaiting a pick.
This is actually pretty funny because it happened last night to me. I was in a Jug (I think), fighting at about 5K with a couple other guys, and this 109 engages me from his perch at about 15K. When this happens I like to do the "Newb Litmus Test or NLT"... I was going about 300, so I went nose down and got up to around 450, I looked behind me and saw exactly what I thought would happen: a 109 passing through the sound barrier as he approaches warp speed, eventually killing a harmless gopher on impact. :D
Gotto love the compression on them 109s!
Anywho... 13th, and flame on: Beetle/Morph
-
Rude recruited me to the 13th TAS a few weeks after I started back at the beginning of 2000. They taught me everything and my time with them was great fun.
Sad to see a distinguished squad disband!
Remember this crest I designed Sax? :)

Ahh yes, what a better and more fitting end to a squads life than to have beetle argue game play with the BK’s.
Good luck BK’s, he’s all yours now.

-
Told you that you wouold be ours sax..
Sax is able to make the one qualification it takes to be a BK... so have all the other "new" members..
We have one rule... If any current member doesn't want you in... you don't get in.
lazs
Public Reations Officer for the BK's
We are not recruiting... if someone dies we might send you an application but... probly not because.... we don't like you.
-
Lazs - how come you're the only one NOT displaying the BK avatar?
-
:rofl :rofl :rofl :aok
THE megaSTUD :D
-
"Lazs - how come you're the only one NOT displaying the BK avatar?"
because I am special... and... I was here before the avatard or even smiley faces. And.... I am not the only one. and... I don't even know how to do one anyway.
lazs
Public Relations Officer for the BK's
self appointed one rank higher than whatever you pick.
-
Geez you guys are multiplying like rabbits
-
Lazs,
I would, respectfully, submit my application for membership in the BKs, so that I may join Slapshot and Mars01. I have been with them for a while now and they can vouch for me.
I have enjoyed flying with Levi and Nopoop and Morpheus before, and don't think I've ever p!ssed off any of the BKs:D
Please socialize amongst the squad and let me know.
Thanks!

LOL Lazs! Your reply got more plausible as it progressed. :D
OK, I've created an avatar for you. Loading it up to your BBS account is about as easy as loading a clip with bullets for a semi auto, loading clip into gun and chambering the first round.
See how you think this would look in your avatard space.

Is that me? If not it is someone allmost as handsome. I don't want a bunch of girly men stalking me or even their wives emailing me all the time so I can't really use that one.
do you have that one of you shooting that day?... I could use that one I suppose.

Yes that is you. And no, you can't have the one of me - I don't want all those desperate California housewives jamming my phone just to be seduced by my accent.
Earlier I said uploading an avatar was as easy as loading your gun. Remember the time I nearly put the magazine in backwards, and you said - "er, we want the bullets to go forwards!" :lol
So I'll understand if your avatar ends up looking like this. Ruh-roh...

It was because your hands were shaky and sweating... If I didn't get a magazine loaded fast enough you got rude and testy... I have rarely seen anyone who had the fever worse. we musta went through 4 or 5 hundred rounds out there. What would the queen say?

Sax.
We had some great times up there, gonna miss flying with you guys!
I'm guilty of skipping out the last couple of months, just became obvious that the leaders wer more into playing America's Army than actually leading and it stopped being fun.
I'm hoping to join up with the BK's if they will have me, (take this as a formal request Lev!) so I can once again fly with the guys I have come to respect most in the game.
See you up there!!
:aok

Well your hands were shaky and sweating - but that's because you couldn't take your eyes off Tomato. As for not being able to load a mag quickly enough, it's true, but I made generous allowances for your age, and that you're slowing down a bit. :p

still strong and fast enough to pull the trigger tho eh?
