The vary first time you got on Ace High, what was the first aircraft you up in?
B-26
-
pretty sure a 51D, only other possibility would have been a 109.
-
I was slightly afraid of where this one was going when I saw the thread. First ride may have been a P-38 or a spitty perhaps. I've got no clue. Whatever it was, it didn't fare well against the fighter hanger next to the runway...
I've already forgotten important moments in my life...don't much expect to remember my first cartoon plane 5 years ago :D
-
P40E. I must have been pretty yummy looking too, bcause I got pounced by about 6 airplanes with red icons. :uhoh
-
P51D :aok
-
38
-
B-17
-
Spitfire 1.It has 8 guns!!
-
F4U-1. We didn't have the 1A yet.
-
F4U-1D
-
I think it was Spitfire 1, cause I thought it was the number one spirtfire!! also I just upped it cause I was like "woah, it spits fire, thats the coolest name"
-
P-38
-
P51D :aok
-
Mossie! I though it was fast, but I didn't relize that it lit up like a roman candle.
-
my first sortie was in B24s.
I remember someone yelling at me for bombing a freindly feild..his name was GHI :uhoh
-
P-39
Flew to a friendly v-base that was flashing. Saw lone a/c strafing the ack and timed my dive to catch him pulling up from a strafing run...he never knew what hit him. :D
-
La-7.
I figured it would be uber and I was super rusty. :lol
-
109 :) long long time ago...
-
38
-
262.
I'm special like that.
-
P-47
-
Before I played online, the first thing I could get off the ground was the mossie (so technically thats the 1st plane i actually flew). Once Online it was the 51D and P-40E
-
i first flew in fight ace and flew the f4u so when i came to aces high i think its a perk plane so i went with the 51d
-

-
Oddly enough, a set of Ju88's. Landed 2 kills in them too on my first run. :rofl
-

Oh, if we're going back to other sims, in Air Warrior on AoHell I first flew the F6F because the F4U flight model was bugged (pull back on the stick, nothing happens).
-
Spit V
-
C.205
-
spit 9
-
F4F
-
WOW this is a hard one. its a toss up between P51B or a SpitV
-
Tried the F6F thats what I flew in AW FR didnt like it here, went to the Nik which was the other plane I flew in AW didnt like it either wasnt even close. Tried a 38 but the tail kept falling off. Tried the 51D then decided to take a break.
-
P-47.
Got a kill (another P-47) that sortie too.
-
I can't remember for the life of me. May have been a P51 simply because I knew it. (This was back on my two week trial a number of years ago, before the Ta-152 was unperked.) Although, it may have as well been a B17 or even a 109, I simply can't remember.
-
for me it was a P51 or B24...one of the two. i didnt start my first sortie, friend of mine who used to play (MasonX) did.
-
P-51D
-
The CHog
-
The CHog
When it wasn't perked...wasn't that an interesting time...
-
WOW this is a hard one. its a toss up between P51B or a SpitV
you went a different route from many of us :P you took a common plane..but a harder model :O
-
Spitfire 1.It has 8 guns!!
exactly the same for me
-
B17 back in Beta 2 or 3 (can't remember). I loaded up with 24x100 pounders and launched from A1 back on the old beta map.
-
B17 back in Beta 2 or 3 (can't remember). I loaded up with 24x100 pounders and launched from A1 back on the old beta map.
Suddenly I'm reminded of taking off in a B-17 in AW, climbing to 10k (when all the fights were under 2000ft) and trying to bomb a runway because you could knock out a base that way. I missed, yet still caught two guys taking off for a couple kills. :D
-
Seriously, I think my first was a P-38J or L, and I lawndarted after a long and frustrating flight.
I think I still had my DTs on when I died too. :o
-
f4u1, bombed friendly cv but actually got a kill same sortie, then landed somewhere off base and wondered why I didnt get my name in lights for my onderful one kill.
-
p-38-Land i thought i had to launch from a base near an hq so i flew for like 30 min to get to a base then get shot down did it about 10 times before i relized that i could launch from close bases
-
190a8
-
Spit 1, :lol
-
My buddy at the time Stroker1 (Duhasst now) invited me to play this game. He was in a tank and I was gunning for him. It was a short sortie cause we rolled it, I mean he flipped it. My first flight that I remember was with Precision (+) and Floatsup told me to take a B-26 NOE. What the hell was NOE? I remember that but can't remember what I had for breakfast.
-
A Spitfire, it was either the 5 or 9.
-
The La7, because I was seriously considering having my testicles surgically removed, but wanted to see how it felt to be a eunuch first, much like getting a temporary tattoo before the real deal.
Seriously though...the Fw190-A8 because that was my bird in AW, then I realized you can't see anything out of it in the AH version, so it's only really good for vulching, HO'ing and buffing hunting.
-
Probably a Tempest on my brother's account, again and again and again and again until I burned up most of his perks.
He was not pleased. :confused: :uhoh
-
I remeber going up in a F4U-1D.
-
P51D
-
Spitfire 1.It has 8 guns!!
lol same
-
First plane B17...did know we had anyother!
<S> 999000
-
Oh, if we're going back to other sims, in Air Warrior on AoHell I first flew the F6F because the F4U flight model was bugged (pull back on the stick, nothing happens).
Just AH
-
Ki 61 as it was my fave in another flight sim
-
<-------------Bf 109G-6, got lots of kills but can't fly it worth nothin now.......
-
First plane B17...did know we had anyother!
<S> 999000
yea, we still have others. we need to get you out of that b-17
-
flew a heavy p-47(full ords) with full tank of gas at 35k....looking for bombers. Then when i seen city lights (used to have night)...id dive from 30k....barrell roll 300 x's (to avoid flack)....then usually auger. Pawz was my first kill, . :rock
-
F6, Never ever will forget it. I flew with some squadies who had been playing the game for a while, guys I knew from AW but haven't really flown with since they were on different sides. Anyway I started to get b and z'd by 2 p51s. I wasn't use to the way the f6 flew in AH but I fended them off for about 15 minutes. Even managed a few pings. While this was going on I was calling for help from my squadies. I could see them a mere 2.5k away. As I fought I could see them going even further away. Never received any help from them and eventually I was worn down to the deck and finally either was killed or crashed. Man I blasted them afterwards and left the squad.
-
Nevermind
-
P51-D
-
109f most likely
-
I cant remember 2 years ago :(
-
I think it was the P38L because it was newer :)
-
P-51 because it was supposedly the premier fighter of WWII. Soon I would find out it's limitations in this game. Crashed several at first trying to learn to land.
-
Ahh, her name was Lisa. Oh wait...

Warbirds versus Aces High Duel.
I remember we were in this giant bowl in the mountains. I don't remember the aircraft type we were in.
Me an Dobs waded right in to the fray and all the WB's pony drivers went high looking to Bnz. They didn't understand the cardinal rule of 10 v 10, the first kills determine the fight so they hesitated and we lost, badly.
Aces High has a higher caliber of skills on average I think but Warbirds guys tended to have better headwork, the exception being pony drivers. They seem to be rather dull witted no matter the game.
Anyway...that was my first Aces High sortie. It was several more years before I quit Warbirds and switched to Aces High.
-
TBM, oh how little I know :uhoh
then I tried taking off with lancs with 100% fuel :lol, granted i still stink but I've learned oooh so much, really had no idea how complex this game was when i started out
-
A6M because it was the first plane on the list :rofl
-
Spitfire Mk.I or Hurricane Mk.I, I don't remember which.
Why? Eight machine guns, duh!
-
P-40E, after dying about 100 times, got it all together, went to about 15+K, can't say exact, but very high, dove on a furball, actually got a kill (very lucky shot, or proxie... who knows), and of course, locked up and augered. It was a blast, I re-upped and went right back at it. :lol
-
Dora... Must of set off every car alarm for miles when I augered from 15K at about 800kts :lol
-
38
Yep..... That's when I knew AW was a long long time ago.
-
109-E. Always had a facination w/the BoB and the 109 since childhood.
-
A6M2... was told it was easy to fly.
-
Man that was long ago :)
It was a 51 I think. We had a 109, a spit and one more ,that I cant remember, to choose from.
shamus
-
A P47N :)
-
i flew the spitV and spitIX mostly for the longest time starting in AH1. I always wanted to be able to fly the 51D back then cause it's my fav of all WWII planes. I'd encounter guys like SkatSr and OlDemon and a few others I always admired how they flew it. Now I pretty much fly the 51D exclusively but still pale in comparison to those folks with it. Though I have gotten better in it.
-
P51. Vomited. Towered, and came back in a Typhoon.
-
Spitfire Mk IX. It was the only Spitfire in the original beta and that is what I can here to "fly", Spitfires.
First combat I had was against another Spitfire Mk IX. I won, though it wasn't pretty.
-
109G2, took off from a capped base not knowing what was going on, got into a scissor fight with a P51d and shot him down.
After that I never got a kill for another 15 sorties heh
-

How many planes did AH had when it first started?
-
B-17
I think I might have gotten down the runway, but I'm not sure I ever got above ~20 ft AGL before loosing height and 'landing' off the end of the runway again.
Then I uninstalled the game, thinking it was one of those many games no longer in development, and that had been designed for DOS or something :P (I think I must have had it on 128 textures or something similar, lol)
-
No kill but my first flight in AH was in beta3.
Lifted off in a 51D and climbed up to 10k. Saw a B17 above so I chased and climbed to 20k trying to get him. Trying to get a gun solution on him I went into a spin. From 20k to 5k then I pulled out of the stall but was deadstick. Made it back to base for a safe landing.
I'll always remember the intensity of that first flight, my addiction had just started and continues to this day.
-
The only one I have ever flown 51D
-
sorta off subject, Exactly how clueless was I.........I had no idea until i logged on, that EVERY other plane was a person someplace in the world really flying it......Ive never turned on the ps-2 since. :O
-

I think there were 4 possibly 5 in beta.

First day in Beta, logged on to secure my handle :)
Upped a P-51, and patrolled the mountains and valleys of the beta map.
