I remember mine like it was yesterday, because it actually was yesterday. I was in the Blue LW Arena and I just took off in a P47D-40 if I remember right. About halfway between the two airfields the battle was taking place there was a furball, nothing really big, but it was a furball nonetheless. Well I pick out my target, a P38G. I swoop down and get right on its six about d1000. It slowly pulls into a vertical climb and I quickly pull up as quickly as I can hoping to catch him right in my sights. It worked. I got him right when he was about to stall. I opened fire with my 8 50 cals and blew his and left wing off, blew up his left engine, and I think I shot off his elevator too. Later in the fight after getting a couple assists and flying around with one aileron and leaking fuel. I had to RTB because I only had 1/8 fuel left, and on my way back I was shot down by a Spit. I was still happy that I recieved my first kill. I just hope to land one soon.
-
First time I flew in AH I took up a Yak, never pulled the trigger and landed five kills...lol. I was spending too much time on trying to figure out what Check Six was.
-
My first ever kill was a major disappointment! I was in a B24, and had a few wingmen. We hit our target and were coming home at about 15k. Suddenly I hear ping ping ping. 'Oh crap, down I go again' So I pop into my tail end charlie. There he is. A niki. D400>. And he's closing. I just open fire and pinghim up badly. Suddenly he just breaks off and turns on to his back, and dives down! As he flips over, his wing seperates! I got the kill message after about 20 seconds! first kill was in a bomber! lol
-
Mine were 2 in a JU88...believe it or not...I was flying with a mouse...and I took up some JU88s. I had gunned down a seafire, and I had gotten a proxy on a guy that died in field ack over a base...:noid
-
I also was flying with a mouse.
-
my first was in a 109G14....
I heard wat the 30mm can do so i was 800 behind a spit...thats right 800 out... i started spraying till I saw him go BOOM.... I was left with 3 rounds of 30mm :D
I've been hooked ever since :D
-
Congrats Nate. I cannot remember mine.
-
I remember mine from back in AW in 1996. I shot the first moving airplane I saw, which was in front of me. Problem was we were on the same team :)
-
I remember my first "real" kill. It was in the AvA (back when the AvA was worth flying, for me) and it was on FinRus. It involved a hurri2c and a 109. I think I was the 109 (with gondolas) and the hurri2 was fighting something else, bit of a multi-vs-multi furball over the island going on. I distinctly remember the hurr2c was roping somebody, straight up vertical and I had just the PERFECT shot into his belly, so close it was probably d400. I let a solid burst into his belly and BOOM he just exploded. The rest of it I don't remember, but I do remember that moment. It was a sense of elation.
-
i believe my first kill was a P38 i shot down in a mosquito. He came behind and overtook me and i made swiss cheese of em at D200 with the .303s and 20mms.
-
I remember mine...It was on the Donut fightertown map, and I had just upped a yak-9t, because I thought, "Sweet! That's a huge gun!"
So I ended up chasing a P-51 down on the deck, and, spraying all over the place, I managed to put a shell through his canopy. Looked down, and saw CAN 0 in my counter, said "Freaking sweet!" At which point, a spixteen nailed me from behind. I was totally hooked! :)
-
My first kill(s) happened in a B-17 about seven hours into the trial(addicted after the first 5 min. btw). I was cruising @ about 27k (thinking I was safe) when I happened upon a set of lancs about 3k above me. I knew that they didn't have belly guns, so I pulled up until I thought I was in range and jumped into the top gun. I managed to kill all 3! As I jumped up and celebrated (my wife asking me if I was O.K.), I heard what I thought was a jet.... My wife says "is that a jet? Did they even have jets in WWII?" .......... I think the guy in the 262 took about 10 seconds :o Fun, but short lived!!
Never forget the first time you broke your cherry!
-
I don't remember my 1st kill but the 1st kill I can remember was Funked in a almost HO shot and the following channel 1 debate we had after (all in good spirit ... )
it was the time were 40 people in the whole arena happened only on sunday :)
-
my first kill was in War Birds. It was some dude who's name was "Hurr". i saw him flying everytime i flew over the enemy's base in a Focke Wulf. i finally was able to make a high speed dive on him, blow him to pieces, and go into a black out auto climb, regaining conciousness at 9k. i was so happy.
soon after, i found out that my victim's name wasn't "Hurr" - it was his aircraft's name, a Hawker Hurricane. :D
i can't remember my first kill in AH, but i know that it occurred a couple years later, in March, 2000.

VonMessa: If we're including bomber kills, I've got an even earlier one than my hurri2c kill. That was just my "fighter v fighter" first kill. I don't know if this one here is my first ever, but it's my first memorable kill.
I was in a B-26 with 4k bombs heading out to bomb a field or a town or something. I take off and climb up. I head toward the enemy front. I line up on the town or the hangars (I don't recall which, it doesn't matter) but as I'm in the bombsight I see a B-17 taking off heading the EXACT opposite direction as me. He's already airborne passing the end of the runway.
So after my bombs drop I don't even wait for the results. I close the doors, jump back to pilot's seat, roll inverted and split S for my LIFE!
I come down from 8k-ish down to about 1-2k-ish. I'm coming in steep. I start making a lot of noise, and eventually shed a control surface (just an aileron if I recall). I come up behind the B-27 and just as I'm about to open up he spots me at 800 out. I fire, he fires, I go in closer, closer, closer, keep getting hits ("damn! those b17s are STRONG!" is what I thought) and as I get to about 300 yards he falls out of the sky. I'm not on a heading back to my start field, so I go home missing some engine oil and other bits.
It was hilarious and wonderful!

Killshooter Owns.
-
My first was in AW 1993ish time frame.
I took off in a P51.. and Merch of the 4thFG said "follow me" (well typed actually.. we only had text back then)
The dialog was something like...
Me: where we going?
Merch: See those dots
Me: Yeah
Merch: that's where.
Me: the NME are there?
Merch: yeah
Me: so what do we do when we get there?
Merch: die
Me: WHAT?
Merch: IN IN!
Somehow in all that mess I managed to shoot down an F6F. That was back in the day when the mouth would get dry, the hands would sweat, etc. (probably because we were paying by the hour).
-
nope, but I remember my first....nevermind.
-
My first kill was a KI-61. I was in a Spit 8 or 9 I think. I was actually showing the game to my father-in-law and a friend. I took off and was just cruising around when I saw a con. I closed in, and when he saw me he began to break left. I pulled some lead and fired and removed his left wing. I remember being totaly amazed that I got him.
-
Well we have to go back to 1996 and A10Cuba over Kali. Kept running into this vondoom guy, and one day he asks if I'm interested in WWII planes.
Well DUH, sure I am, so he points me to warbirds. Thus begins the addiction!
First kill in AH, well we still go back to like 99 in beta. Wasn't my first sortie, but I am pretty sure I was in a spitfire and caught a p51 low and slow. Then again it was a LONG long time and many many kills ago. :)
-
I was a refugee from Air Warrior looking for a place for our squad to move to. I took up a Bf109g and got 2 kills on my mission. When it was time to land I bounched all over the place but got her down. The difference from Air Warrior was staggering. Aces high was sooo cool that I moved here and left the squad behind.
Good Hunting!!
-
My first online sortie - flying with the EZTargets (in Warbirds.)
They kept telling me I was crazy to fly the F4U (except Mury, who kept telling the rest of them to let me fly what I wanted) and we were on climbout when a P-47D flew under us. Everyone said - let the new guy try! - so I split essed, throttled back, and lined up on him.
He never even saw me coming (or was most likely AFK) and I tore him apart.
I couldn't understand why the guys were so excited (he was a non-maneuvering target after all) - first sortie out online. I didn't realize that most people jumped in and flew online without much (or any) practice, and could take weeks or months to get their first kill.
Meanwhile, I'd spent the better part of a 1000 hours or more shooting down the offline AI.
I then proceeded to spend a good thousand hours trying to unlearn a bunch of bad habits I'd learned fighting AI that never took advantage of you if you zoomed over them- but that's another story.
First AH kill - nope. Don't remember.
-
Yup was a Chog I flew into hillside my 1st AH kill was myself lol :D
-
I don't remember my first kill, but my first moment worth remembering was back in Air Warrior. I was flying for the C landers and headed toward Bz land. I was flying along with a squadmate looking for some action when another one of our squadmates starts screaming for help. He is on the deck extending/running from two cons that are closing. I start to dive in my P51 toward them and am able to ping the first trailer and kill him. I continue to pursue and catch the second con and kill him also. What a feeling to get two kills and clear a squaddie. I have been a regular junkie/addict ever since. By the way after killinig the two cons I proceeded to get ping,ping, red screen. Those of you Air Warriors out there know what I mean. LOL :lol
Spazz
-
MY first kill was an LTAR
-
Dont remember what i killed because it was a loooooong time ago, but i guess the kill was made in a D9 as that was the plane i flew the first few weeks.
-
My first kill was an A-20 and I was in a yak9T!:aok
-
Started AH about 3 weeks ago... Yep,I remember...
After about 4hr's of offline practice, Learning which buttons worked what functions... I beamed into the EW, upped a spitI and flew around untill I figured out the clipboard map... I thought COOL, it even conk's out under negG, just like the real thing...
Chased down a red blip on radar, shot down a JU88 lead plane... Flew back to base, and an FW190 was strafing my field... Dove on him, smoked his engine, and blacked out during the pullout, then woke up just in time to splat on my own hanger....Cool stuff man...
I subscribed Immediately!!!

My first ever kill came in a P38L "i think", TODD420 took me into the ma and right after we took off i lost him, i was all alone, next thing i know im over an enemy base, lots of targets so i dive from about 10 k and control lock, took ever thing i could do to pull it up, but by the time i came out of the black out i was getting sawed in half by ack, flak and whatever the hack else it takes to cut a 38 in half.
as i stalled the plane out and it went into a flat spin, i noticed about a zillion planes forming a conga line right to me all screaming "mine mine mine" a pulled the trigger and watched a couple of the conga line leaders explode b4 i hit the ground.
my first kill was two kills and one death.

Rgr that, Warbirds was where I started
The only "first kill" I remember was taking down my dad in a 1v1 on our LAN when I was around 10 years old flying Warbirds 2. We were dueling in Ki-43's. BB-guns are awesome!
Can't remember my first AH kill, probably wasn't spectacular or anything memorable.
-
Heck no that was too long ago :)
-
My first kill was me.
-
1st kill I was in a 109F-4 about 4 years ago in AH1. Heck, it wasn't even on my own computer. I was at my friend's house and he was showing me the game then let me fly around a little bit. Got two on my first sortie and then ended up getting shot down. From then on I was hooked. I Could only play for 4 months because of the switch to AHII, which my laptop couldn't run.
-
I shot down two planes today. I am beginning to like the P47. I dove down on an La7 going about 400 MPH, I just opened fire with all 8 guns and tore him to shreds. I pulled up and pulled up behind a B24. Blew up both left engines and the left rudder. It slowly spiraled down. He wasn't even in a formation! :rofl
Then I was getting low on fuel and I lost my left aileron and my right elevator, along with a fuel leak. So I was RTB, then a 262 dives on me out of nowhere and
BOOM! I am dead before I even had time to react. Good day for me today.
-
Congrats Nate!!!!!
I remember my first kill. I was in a P-38 in Air Warrior when it was on AOL for free and I killed a Spitdweeb!
Way Back When!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Congrats Natewolf. That's really good. Took me a looong time to get a kill back when I started (AW on the Mac, way back when, and no I'm afraid I don't remember my first kill). And you're killing already in a Jug! Nice work.
-
First kill: Bf-109G-14 flying next to TeeeRex and... god, his name escapes me, but he was with the 332nd Flying Mongrels. Theyd just finished FSO, and I was applying for their squad... they took me to an enemy field, and I just followed them. I got behind a Spitfire mk IX I believe, and killed him. Hit a tree trying to avoid the debris and died.
-
No.
(11 years worth of kills later)
But I do still vividly remember a few fights from back then. All in Spits.
One against a 109, the first time I really got saddled up on someone trying to shake me and he couldn't. He tried everything. Now THAT was fun!
One against a pair of P-51's working me over. I'd chase one and just as the other aquired my six I'd turn then I'd chase him and just as the first aquired my six I'd turn again over and over and over... eventually I got both of them.
One against a pair of Spits, all three of us flat turning on the deck but I'd lift through opposing ends of my turn, just slightly out of plane and just enough to eventually close the gap. Again, I ended up getting them both.
The first 2 fights were both in the VOD (Valley of the Dweebs). The other was near the mountains on the east side of CZ land near the river and the bridge.
Speaking of that bridge, I flew under it one night dragging a con. He hit it and died trying to follow me... lol.
And speaking of getting close to stuff I was dueling a squaddie one night at one of our bases (you could kill friendlies back then) and we were so low chasing each other around the tower that we kept losing sight of each other because the tower was in the way. That was maybe the best one-on-one duel I've ever had.
-
My first kill was in a P-51D, I killed USAgirl who was in a Flak Panzer. My first Air to Air kill was also in a P-51D taking out a 190A8 over tank town on Trinity.
My score for my first tour was 131 Kills, 420 Deaths. A 111 of those deaths were in the C-47A. I also scored 10 kills in the C-47A that tour. My next tours stats were 377 Kills, 470 Deaths and my third tour was 337 Kills, 346 Deaths. Finally my fourth tour was 113 Kills, 89 Deaths. So as you can see it took four months of flying before I ended up killing more times then I was killed. I miss the good ole days in AH.

My first kill in AH (2001) was.... sad to say, in a Nik :( , I caught a P47 in a climb and just blew him up. My first kill in AW... I can't remember, that was a loooooonnnnnnnggggggg time ago.

I remember a very similar situation back in Mac AW. Me in a Spit against another Spit and a 51. That was my first time in such a situation. I was constantly evading just as I was about to shoot. I didn't shoot either of them down, but man that was an absolutely jaw-clenching palm-sweating blast. My introduction to furballing. :)
Playing with the mouse too, but it wasn't so hard since they had that convenient "stick position square" on the screen.

Same here. My younger brother introduced me to the game, helped me get it set up, etc. Then came time for the 1st take-off. We take off, he's right in front of me, and I was itchin' to try out the guns. So . . . . . I lined him up and let fly.
Of course being the expert shot I am, I immediatley blew up. Then he tells me over the VOX, "Oh yeah -I forgot to tell you that you kill yourself if you shoot friendlies! - I knew you were gonna do that!"
-
I dont remember my first kill on Aces High or Air Warrior.
My first flight was a zeke on Aces High.
I do remember my first CV landing on Aces High on H2H. I was flying a F4UD and had been trying to land on CV for bout an hour.
I do recall my first actual calibrated bombing sortie on H2H that took me 6 hours to get it right on a B17.
Air Warrior and Aces High
Flying mouse since 1996.

my first kill was a while back but i believe i was in a p51 and i hoed someone hehehee:cool:
-
Dont remember the kill, but I remember the first day. I loged in without reading anything, pulled up the map and for somereason I picked the field with the big red and green bars in top:D I took off in a spit I (I saw the amount of ammo and number of guns and thought it was good lol). I left it on autoclime and statrted looking around. I thought the sounds were kind of lame and the tracers comming off the field behind me looked like a cheap cartoon. Stil on autoclime I was just looking around. I determined that I should not fire on anything green unless they fired first (yep, I smart). I grabed the stick and tried to feel the plane. lol, stalled it but I let go of the stick and it recovered. I turned back towards the field listening to the confusion and people barking orders on range. I pulled the stick left then right just to feel the plane again and there it was. A nice litle green Niki d200 on my 12. Must have been an other nube because I chased him or as long as I could using all the ammo from the spit. He did not go down until some 10 or 20 fellow bish came in to help lol. I got the assist and landed.
Thats how the adiction started. I spent the first month wondering why I could not kill anything flying a spit 1 and a 202 (yep, I smart) while other guys would take a short burst and get a kill. After the first month I descovered 50cals and cannons (all by my self I may add, thank you very mach).
-
I don't remember the name of the first girl I had sex with (pretty sure it started with a J tho).. definitely don't remember the first cartoon plane I shot down.
