(Thought this would be quite a fun game. Start your post with 'I remember when...' and end it with '...'. Basically the aim is to make people remember funny incidents or game improvements which have been added)
I remember when... Skuzzy tried to fly in the MA and augered straight into an ammo bunker on takeoff in a C.202 because i told him it was a great fighter...
-
I remember when you could ditch your plane in a flock of sheep.
-
I remember when this game was real fun, and even though I paid $30 a month there were 150 people online and we had fun shooting each other down and taking smack and nobody cried (much)
-
"I remember when..........the word ENY was followed by meanie, miney, moe........." :D
-
I remember when majority of the people wanted to furball not go around toolshedding.
-
ok, I'll play, I remember when.... 2001 ..... our squad (RRR - Rampaging Rooks of Retribution) decided to have some training in the DA with the Spit 9 (you know that popular spitfire before the Spit16 came along)
anyway, Beeger thought we should have a little free for all to try out some of the moves CPR, Fatz and Rafbader had showed us. while beeg was giving us the merge rules I flew up behind fatz and shot him down :lol . he cursed me all the way... I begged forgiveness as a newb (2 months) but Fatz wasnt buying it :lol

I remember when the "war" was just a reason to furball...

back then real dweebs flew the spit 9, two 20mm and 2 .50cals
-
I remember when you used to have these really cool text tools called macros... when you landed kills, you could kit a key and it would automatically type
"You've been killed by 69thBlackCats...MEOWWWWWWWWW. ....
At the time... I thought it was funny....jeez that was along time ago.... What the heck happened to all that tween time?

-
I don't ever remember Aces High having macros.
-
I remember when the M16 first came out .
airsid just had to have a go at that , he drove it ( no spawn points then ) for 20 min or so to just get close to the enemy field just to roll the bi ch over lmao . It was too funny .

Could Skuzzy be related to Icarus and Daedalus is his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather

I remember when... Ostwinds were the most uber thing going. A few pings would kill panzers, they were upped for anti tank and anti air defence...
-
I also remember when goons had a bug where they would go something like 600mph over 30k...
-
Put the Goon bug back:noid
-SR-
-
I remember when...
Each plane had only one skin.
-
I remember when................. players with experience were ashamed to fly spits & la7s.
when..... the game cost twice as much to play, but was twice as much fun.
when.......when people flew for the FIGHT win or lose, not just to win at any cost.
when......."2 weeks" was a funny answer to "when is TOD being released?"
when....... 3 spitfires models was all anyone "needed"
when....... people actually risked the perks to fly spit14's.
I could go on & on, but really, its not helping anything-
-
I remember when playing AcesHigh 1, was looked foreward to everynight ......

I remember when I burned up a LOT of my brother's (FlaydONE's) perks 4 years ago, flying and dying in Tempests before I got a clue.:rolleyes:
-
I remember Old pizza map
VH's that looked like screened channel iron
Small towns
tunnels in maps
30K laser guided accuracy bomb sights

I remember when whining was much more of an artform :)

I remember when i could spawn camp on festerma all night when there wasnt a fight :D

I remember when...
skys had no clouds...
after a year or two, you could tell with near certainty what kind of an airplane it was at about 5 miles because the developers made each aircraft dot "twinkle" a little differently...
there was nothing better than that mad rush of running a JU-52 in NOE hoping and praying that you would get close enough before you were seen ...
unless it was having the dots straight ahead resolve into an enemy flight of heavy fighters coming NOE to close your base - as you were running an NOE flight in to close theirs ...
The hours and hours hunting Bobn in his 190 with Nopoop ...
arguing with myself over spending yet another night in the game at $2.00 an hour ...
The sense of belonging that came with flying with the EZTargets that first time I flew online ... (I did it backwards, I'd flown offline probably in excess of (no exaggeration) 1000 hours over a year and a half, joined the most fun seeming squad I could find, and THEN signed up for online play)
The Aluminum waterfall in the P&D ...
Stir's "Ooooh Ghost.... guess what, I did it again!" (and looking back to see 7 bandits on Stir) ...
The first time I killed Daddy in his P51 ...
Mury explaining - for the 20th time - in that patient, ever thoughtful way of his ...
The first time I was ever ranted at, after HOing Stiglr by sheer accident after a couple of weeks of online play when I fired on something I couldn't even see coming out of the sun as I climbed into a headstand in my P38 - completely panicked because I'd lost track of him right on my six and I was sure he was right there right behind me and I just couldn't see him ...
driving home from the Con that first year after meeting so many of the people that up to that point hadn't really seemed "real"...
The sheer joy of setting the game time to nightfall, and taking up the Banshee Wail for a 40 minute evening flight across the map in offline mode, to land just after dark.
-
I remember when the only map we had included pizza and a shiner in it.
-
I'm an old man and don't remember anything. :rolleyes:
-
I remember when......AH1: furball was defending a V-base in an osti and i was bombing him in an A20. i dropped my whole bomb load in 'salvo 1' fashion before i realised he was towering out and re-upping each time the bomb hit his spot. must have made me mad cos i came back in a B17 and took out the (single, camo netting style) VH.
-
I remember when the FM wasn't as good as it is today. Typhoons used to roll as fast as a 190.:D

-
I remember when men were men and sheep were scared.
-
I remember squad missions to bomb the Giant squid that lived in the hole near the 163 field on the Mindanao map(and crashing the server when the squid died)
-
i remember when the furball reigned surpreme and the whole point of the game was to learn acm and to dogfight so that when the furball came you could hold your own and when there was a furball once a night for the whole night consisting of about 50 planes...
i remember when i used to bug the "best" to train me and get beat on for hours but keep getting better everytime...
i remember when the DA had killshooter off and was a billion times better because we didn't have to fly for 5 minutes to get 1 fight in...
:( :( :cry :cry

LOL Ghastly, I have not thought about this in a long time. I used to go by EZdoc as an EZTarget back in Warbirds and early AH days, to an old EZTarget!
I remember hunting as a squad for Bobn LOL
I also remember when the p-51s wings were made of paper, pulling out of a dive was a dangerous proposition and nearly impossible without rippin the wings off.
I remember Weasel (aka Jihad) and JG2 Richthofen in the early days of AH
I remember roger wilco

I remember when EA games pulled AW3 out from underneath us old AW'ers.Most of us came to AH,some went to WB's.Ya we were a lil nervous,only a lil tho!I had flown AH under a pseudonym,when it first came out,so it wasn't completely new to me.A couple of our squaddies had left for AH previously,so we had help.Thanks to ,and ...hehe.Seems so long ago.Hats off to Hitech and AH,and all the grizzled vets of AH,that helped make AH our new home.I just wonder how many folks have flown AH only,AH and AW.AH and WB's,and AH,AW,and WB's.I will go first.I have flown all three,including Fighter Ace,only for a couple days,what a cluster it was!I even flew Confirmed Kill,and thats going back a ways.

This wasn't in AH was it? I started in 01, and I don't remember it, but that could easily be due to my bourbon intake back then.
-
I remember feeling like I'd lost my best friend when EA killed AW. Now I have a new friend:p AH is my friend...I will hug it and hold it and squeeze it and love it!:p :p :p
-
EZDoc! There's a name I haven't seen in ages and ages and ages... I wonder how many of the rest of us are around "somewhere" under new names as we've crossed the sim line a few times since?
Nopoop, email's on it's way!
Anyone know what happened to the rest of the Targets? I've seen LizKing on the boards a few months back, and Stir's trying to get some 'puter problems sorted so he can get back online I'm told, but other than that ... I haven't seen any of the rest (including Mury) in YEARS.

I remember when... chute shooting was a time honored tradition, to be practiced with grace and skill...
-
I remember when... HiTech came into my H2H room and cherrypicked me while i was fighting someone else, even though he had been there 5 mins and the rules clearly stated 1 vs 1, then the bastige laughed and logged off. This further encourages my belief that he has set puffy ack to nail me every time i go above 3k within 20 miles of a CV...
-
I remember when .... my first attempt at Aces High poetry back in Jan or march 2002.
This is a tale of woe, its sad indeed
the story of how AirScrew lost his Luftwaffe steed.
He stayed up late after his squadmates had logged out
and decided to fly a lone Lancaster and help with the route.
He selected his munitions and launched with great care
with one notch of flaps the Lancaster was soon sailing on air.
He took his bearings and set his heading,
and decided the Knight Headquarters needed a banging.
Most of us know the Lancaster is slow, and not very thrilling to fly
so he went AFK to have a quick smoke and count the stars in the sky.
He wasn't gone long, ten minutes or less, and told everyone he was back.
But when he sat down he started to frown, "Oh My Gawd I'm under attack!"
A TA-152 was circling with glee,
Firing 20mm's at him like they were free.
(He cried, ”oh woe is me”.)
He jumped to his guns and fired clatter, clatter
but he failed to make the 152 splatter, and in no time at all his plane was in tatters.
His situation was grim as he rode his beast down and thought it was best to just bail.
But his fingers were slow and he didn’t hit O and he smacked right into the
ground.
He sat in a daze as his visions of glory faded off in the haze,
He wondered, “who was my killer?”
He wanted revenge no matter the cost, just like a cheap B movie thiller.
The System said Urchin is for whom he should be searchin and he began to plan his demise.
He knew the 152 was deadly and quick so he selected a 262, wasn’t he wise?
He scrambled his jet with nary a fret, cause he practiced alot offline.
He knew without a doubt this plane had clout and said “Soon Urchin will be mine.”
As he climbed to the clouds, in his search for Urchin, he began to plan his attack.
When suddenly around his plane there did appear puffs of black smoke, “Oh no the Flak factory is near.”
Panic? Not him, for his plane is small and oh so fast, he knew he had nothing to fear.
But wait, whats that he hears, a bang and a snap and now smoke he does smell,
He looks at his right wing, and it really looks like hell.
All that fire and smoke he knows this can’t be good, “perhaps I can turn back…,”
Nope too late.

"This IS NOT a doll !!"
..it's an action figure

That was a good one
:rofl

I remember when I was the guy on the runway getting vulched time after time after time in a desparate measure to save an airfeild. Stat's didn't matter and red guys landed a whole bunch of kills patting themselves on the back with a job well done. Meanwhile I'm sitting back thinking all those kills that guy got were of me.....on the ground..... Now they think that guy landing all those kills is a god! I'm so going to learn to vulch!
-
I remember when several squads could actually fly together on the same side... And they could actually work together and capture a map!
-
I remember when I was so excited I could hardly stand it when I finally got my new new 486 PC so I could play AW SVGA. I ponied up $2k for it back then....a huge sum for me back then.
I remember "feeling the hate".....
I remember Scavengers "diving down" posts on the AW BBS.
I remember driving down to Kesmai Studios to meet with and hang out and have lunch with Moggy, GE and BB.....just for the hell of it.
I remember checking out the AH beta and thinking, Man, these guys are on to smething.
I remember being so sad when I heard that AW was being thrown under the bus.......but thinking that at least AH would be there for my addiction
:)

I remember when you could buy AHII off of ebay for $3.91 free shipping :D
-
I remember when flying an online sim meant:
- You were paying GEnie $12/hr.
- You were on a Macintosh.
- 9fps was pretty damn good.

We should have an EZTarget reunion hehe. It could be a big old furball killing each other like the old days LOL. I still have my T-Shirt, I wear it around on weekends. I wore out my hat. I'd be interested in finding out what happen to all the fellas. Dang, its been a long time.

How about the "pony mafia"??? Somebody back then used to have this great take off on the Godfather logo with a 51 under the puppet strings. I would love to get that put on a Tshirt.

I remember when there was a glitch (a long time ago) that would allow an Ostwind or Panzer to travel at 500 mph. To start the glitch you had to park pointing uphill, shut the engine off, put it in gear and release the brakes. It would roll backwards in gear and when you started the motor it would take off in reverse with phenomenal speed. It was hard to drive and unforgiving, you could jump it a hundred yards and tumble a landing; it would roll very easily at speed. You used the forward gears; 6th gear was the slowest and in 1st gear you could accelerate from 300 mph to 400 mph in just a few seconds. I clocked a friend one night: I was in a P-51, WEP and coming out of a dive. He was in an Ostwind on the ocean and was outrunning me. One night we drove Osties over 100 miles to an enemy HQ and knocked it down; planes were searching for enemy planes and never imagined a GV that deep into their land. I think I wrecked 3 or 4 times en-route though. The glitch lasted less than a week before it was patched; Ostwinds and Panzers were zipping around everywhere at insane speeds. Man; that was a funny one.
