WW2 is fun and all, but I especially miss flying, spent so much time learning to fly and kill that I feel I'm missing something...

WW2 just doesn't have the tools of flight that I appreciate...

There's certainly no problem with the price at $14.95.

But I'm still waiting for TOD before I come back. And my choice is not borne out of any desire to boycott. I keep checking this board to see if there's anything that might tempt me back... still looking.

Still ringing in my ears, so to speak, is Urchin's remark that he felt more pissed off at the end of a session than he did at the beginning. I know how he feels, and it's not a good way to end the day.

It would be interesting to start a thread to find out why people quit or at least put their accounts on ice. But I think that would get noticed faster than you can say Jack Robinson.

So wake me up when TOD arrives, or an RPS is deployed, or if the ENY limiter is made to bite instead of nibble, or if the "it's my $14.95" squad gets disbanded. - erm, better forget that last one. Heck, if that ever happened, the game would collapse! :lol;)

It's never a bad idea to return to AH.

If your wife dumps you, you can play AH.
If your wife dumps you for playing AH, you can play more AH.

It's a win-win situation really.

Lazs, it is way overdue that you learn to quote.


Okay... at the top right hand corner of the person who's post you want to quote, you will see an "edit" and to the right of that "quote" button.

Simply click that "quote" button, it will automatically create a new post for you, with the details quoted.

It was a dig at Beetle's amazingly poor powers of prescience, not at you.  The Spit V is, if anything, better than ever in AH2.

I'm just giving you crap because I love ya, Beetle... in a purely platonic way.  I recall before AH2 that you were excited about the prospect of the Spit V losing a lot of its appeal in the MA.  This has not happened, and while long-range shots are more rare, people just spray more to achieve them.

The AH2 MA feels a lot like the AH1 MA, though it sure is a lot prettier.

That is the way I was taught to quote.   That doesn't work anymore?   I learned to spell from HT but I draw the line at quoteing.

 Awww!

No, I think what I meant about the Spit (and not just the V) potentially losing its appeal was to do with the FM having been changed in such a way for AH2 that it was no longer possible for the Spit pilot to attack a roping con by simply pulling vertical (helicopter mode) and then spraying directly upwards and getting hits at 700yds or more. This was addressed in two ways:
  • Dispersion altered so that those 800yd shots no longer work - or at least not the way they did in AH1, and
  • FM changed - helicopter mode withdrawn.
I did comment at the time that it was wonderful to outclimb a Spit in my 109F4 and get position directly overhead the bogey without him pulling that helicopter bullshirt. Those that tried that in AH2 stalled and wallowed, never got guns solution, and presented their own heads on a plate.

Quit with the inflammatory remarks. I WILL fly to England and stomp your guts out.

I never took those 800 yard shots with the exception of maybe an la7 that was fleeing on a nice level course.  My convergence never went past 350, as I recall.

Details on what I felt sucked later.


Have a nice day.
