Post by: Latrobe on February 20, 2008, 08:28:08 AM: Do you remember what plane you chose to go up in first? I do, it was a spit 16 and I got vulched by a La-7. :rolleyes: :lol

First sortie didn't go too well.

Post by: Rich46yo on February 20, 2008, 10:32:32 AM: Not really but I remember the first time I was able to actually land an airplane. This game is a huge challenge and Ive spent untold hours just to gather the meager skills I now have.

I cant remember the last time I watched TV, "oh yeah the SB", but even then I watched it on the TV next to my flight station while playing.

I do remember the first time I landed 2 kills. I was flying B-17s. I think my first sortie in fighters was with P-51s.

Post by: VERTEX on February 20, 2008, 11:13:47 AM: Upped a pony D and flew towards a cv task force. Came in high and fast, thought I was invincible, since I was flying the "best" WWII fighter. Saw a bunch of planes below, got concerned about how poor the vision was, hadn't learned how to set views yet, died a guick death from an unseen bogie.

It happened so quickly I was shocked, sat for a few seconds and upped again. Funny I remember the first sortie like it was yesterday, actually happened about 5 yrs ago, have zero recollection of what I did next.

Post by: Stang on February 20, 2008, 11:41:16 AM: Upped an F4u1D from Griswald, turned south climbing out to about 10k... ran across a lone Cz F6 and went in with him. After about a turn and a half, he had a slight edge and was at my high 6 pointing probably 20 degrees away from me. Then bam, I was dead, shot by a guy not even facing me on my end hehe. Weclome to AW lag lol.

The next run I learned quickly and shot the same guy down in pretty much the same 1 on 1 situation. That was fall of '98.

Hooked ever since.

Post by: B@tfinkV on February 20, 2008, 02:17:17 PM: i took a spit mk1 up on the old ah1 pizza map, this was first sortie of my 2 week trial. I shot down an F4u and then after a while went home to land.

SYSTEM: you have landed succesfully

Post by: ROX on February 20, 2008, 04:17:44 PM: After Air Warrior went out of business, I took some time off from online play.

I downloaded AH after a few months and practiced offline so when I subcribed I wouldn't be such a noob.

Sometime later, I kicked in my subscription and ROX was on....

It churned me out a knight, and I picked a P38 and upped.

It WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!

I had inadvertantly upped as a 40+ plane mission was upping. Back then it got WAY darker for awhile than it does now...and there I was, with AWESOME graphics, surrounded by green icons everywhere!!!!

Post by: Banshee7 on February 20, 2008, 05:15:57 PM: My first sortie was in a 51D because i just HAD to up one because it was the, as someone stated earlier, best fighter of WW2. Funny, how the first kills i landed was in a 190A8 (3 kills on the NDisles map in TT:D )

Title: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: cpxxx on February 20, 2008, 06:30:09 PM: No, but I imagine it was much like most of my sorties to date. At least until my credit card maxed out and I lost my access.:cry

I took off, probably in a P51, enjoyed the scenery and wowed at the thought that all those dots out there were real people just like me. Fiddled with the views, test fired the gun, did a roll or two and had a bit of fun. Saw some red icons, flew toward them. Suddenly there was lot of machine gun fire. I start to turn but find myself back in the tower feeling irritated.
Rinse and repeat.

Sigh!
Title: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: C(Sea)Bass on February 20, 2008, 07:08:30 PM: My first sortie was offline. I stalled trying to climb too quickly and died.

First online sortie was with P-47N. HO'd some people and then got blasted by some butt munch in a pony.
Title: LA5
Post by: Colt44 on February 20, 2008, 08:06:50 PM: My brother in law (the great EvilOWEN ) had an AHI account. I hated video games. He eventually convinced me to give it a try. Being interested in WWII Aircraft as a kid, I figured "pony" or f4u.

He smartly suggested to take the LA5 out for a ride... I got vulched just off the runway. I got pissed and 5 years later....Im still pissed. I hate video games...LMAO. I have had some great times since that first flight and met some great people. <>

Title: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: Treize69 on February 20, 2008, 08:35:56 PM: Warbirds, 1999 or so. F6F (since it was supposedly forgiving). Got it off the ground, pulled up the gear, tried to turn to the right and immediately spun in.

Took me about a week to figure out how to get to the fight, and another month to kill anything and live to tell about it.

I think my first death at enemy hands was to the Ack Weenies too.
Title: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: DEAR98 on February 20, 2008, 08:36:04 PM: I think a BF109 G-16 got off the ground in DA got killed by a F4F five min later.
Title: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: Saurdaukar on February 21, 2008, 09:43:59 AM: First ever? No.

First in AH? No.

What I do remember was my first sortie in AW3. I was stoked that I could take up a D9, now, so I did.

I promptly HO'd the first guy I came across (cause that was a new feature, too) and was called a "Dora dweeb" on the global channel.

Didnt do that again.
Title: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: MotorOil1 on February 21, 2008, 09:52:40 AM: Upped a Tempest in the TA shot at some other noob. I think I might even have scored some hits?

In the MA upped a P51D with Ironhide and RunNGun. It was all of our first time and we spent the next half hour tring to get off the runway before we figured out the auto takeoff. The field we were upping from was under a light attack but our carcasas kept landing all over the field. I never laughed so hard in my life. That was back in 2001.

Post by: Grits on February 21, 2008, 02:31:02 PM: Some time right after the release of SVGA Air Warrior, Oct-Nov '93? Half-Time PAC arena in an F4U.

Actually my first on-line sotrie would have been in Red Baron on The Sierra Network, '91 or '92.
Title: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: Karnak on February 21, 2008, 03:02:59 PM: Yes, in AH. In beta1. Spit IX vs Spit IX. I won. It was the other guy's first sortie too.

I made my first sim sortie so many years ago I have no idea which sim it was, let alone what happened.
Title: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: Guppy35 on February 21, 2008, 03:05:21 PM: Airwarrior in 96. Took up a Spit IX, started shooting at any plane I could see, got called a dweeb for being in a Spit, wondered what the heck that was about :)

Yep.I Augered a 109-G-10 on the Pizza map right into one of those boulders that was in the valleys.

Post by: A8balls on March 01, 2008, 01:01:03 AM: Niki. Taxied into a hanger and died. Taxied into a gun emplacement and crashed. Taxied into a fuel tank and died. Plugged in joystick, took off and stalled. Dead again. Quit for 2 weeks, free period expired, paid my subscription, and RTFM. Did much better then.

Post by: Kweassa on March 01, 2008, 03:22:10 AM: My first AH sortie was in AH1 v1.04.

It was a 2-weel trial period.

I upped a Bf109F-4, had trouble raising the landing gear, someone's P-51D came and shot me, and I crashed into the field tower.

I was disheartened, and went back to Fighter Ace.

That was my first encounter with AH.

Title: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: Redlegs on March 01, 2008, 07:23:52 AM: My first was about 2-3 years ago. I saw the ad and thought I'd give it a try. I thought I was 1337 b/c I had just beaten Ace Combat 4. I was wrong. I upped a p51 from a field a couple times got mad because I couldnt get over a mountain. Tried about 10 times. Gave up. Couple years later, after watching an episode of Dogfights, and saw another commercial for it. Gave it another try. Free trial was used up so I flew in H2H. Been playing ever since.

Post by: bobtom on March 01, 2008, 09:03:01 AM: I had flying experiance with fighter ace on offline so i knew how to fly.

hooked.
Title: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: The Fugitive on March 01, 2008, 09:18:46 AM: I don't remember the first in AW, think it mioght have been a pony against my dad in a H2H set-up we had, but first in AH ya. It was the last few months of AW, and my good friend TRIX talked me into coming over and trying out the game on my free 2 weeks. We upped F4u-1D's and on climb out I tried to form up on his wing. TRIX was a firm believer of getting home alive, and I can still hear him screaming at me on the radio "NOT TOO CLOSE !!!! THEY HAVE COLLISIONS ON IN HERE !!!!". LOL!!! the rest of the flight was uneventfull, but its a great memory! :D
Title: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: hogenbor on March 01, 2008, 10:11:43 AM: Hell yes. AH1. Bf-109-G6. Chased an A20 and shot it down, not understanding why it took so many 30mm rounds :D

Of course I only hit him with the 13mm's but what did I know. But I DID land the kill, drenched in sweat too.

Post by: John Hynds on March 02, 2008, 06:08:55 PM: P51-D no kills, shot down by B-24 tail gunner.
1rst kill was 2 B-24 on a bomb run with a Spit 8. Wouldn't have happened but the 24 pilot in middle of dropping eggs.

Title: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: PropSuey on March 02, 2008, 08:50:02 PM: Don't remember exactly because it was so long ago. It was in AHI and I was DamnYank then and it was a squad mission with the 31st. I'll assume because I was flying along with Fish323 I must have been in a spit IX. I most likely died and undoubtedly didn't get any kills on that first one.
I did a bit of practicing in the DA with the squad before entering the MA so I may have actually landed my first mission with 0 kills.

Title: Re: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: Sommers on March 09, 2008, 04:22:24 AM: Yep, tried to up 262 but then took pony cuz I always thought it looked cool. Upped from the hanger at whatever default airfield the game sent me to and rolled right into some field object (didn't have the rudder thing down and flew without it for a week - using wheel breaks to steady on takeoffs and landings :lol). Went to the training arena for my next flight.
Title: Re: Do you remember your first sortie??
Post by: gpwurzel on March 09, 2008, 05:07:26 AM: My first sortie was in a spit - upped, saw someone dragging a long line of red back towards our base, injured (think it was Pops04), gained some alt, worked my way round the back of the line - zoomed along it firing merrily away - didnt kill anyone - but it seemed to annoy them as they broke off pops and started on me - suffice to say, I didnt last long - but at least he made it home with his kills...lol...

Latest funny one, upped out of 116 in orange - got to 2000 ft - huge mission inbound, lancs, b24's, p38's, various other fighters - ho hum - did the obvious - (no, not run away) - shot at a couple of lancs then boom tower - all in all, think I lasted around 40 seconds from upping...lol....funny tho,
