It's always red when I'm in the hanger. I'd fly it just to annoy people :)

It's not a MA plane. It's a development tool that they allowed AH players to use offline or in the TA (DA too?). It's not meant to be flown in combat.

Please don't report that bug!!!

Whenever I get tired of one of the AK's or L.T.A.R's blowing me up, I like to take the RV out for a sortie.

I always die, but it sure is fun.....

Post by: Gulp on May 15, 2007, 02:33:10 PM: Our field was capped today so I upped a Hurri C and on my way out of the hangar there's a yellow plane on the RW. No icon so I figure it's a Niki and make my way into the air amid a hail of vulchers. Look back and catch a bit of red icon above the yellow plane.

Come around and line up on him and its an RV8....Hmmmm...Yank trigger and he gets mad on 200.

Sure he was defensless, but a red icon on our runway when we are getting hammered just didn't sit right with me. :D
