Title: Newbs from another dimension
Post by: gyrene81 on July 07, 2009, 01:14:34 PM
Just a hello to the AH community (good and bad) on behalf a few of my squad mates and I who have decided to hit the eject button on the other MMOFlightSim and jump in on your virtual skies...our squad will probably end up being represented as I/JG27 as we are not quitting our old squad and some of our squad members are sticking with the old donkey.

We prefer to fly Luftwaffe but on occasion we will grab something else.

Some of us are vets...some are pilots...some are both...all of us appreciate as much realistic WWII combat flight simulation as we can get without having the blood leech from our skulls in a turn...so far we like what Hitech has done with AH.

Some of you are going to like us...others are going to hate us worse than your ex mother in law...(fyi, I'm the worst one of the bunch).

<S> We'll be taking off from Knights airfields, see you in the arenas.

What sims did you & your squad play?


I believe I killed one of your squaddies flying his 262... his name was Wrecked.

Warbirds...(excuse me, I have to wash my mouth out  :furious)

LMAO...yeah he's one of my buds...if Wrecked was up in a 262, he forgot to take his meds...suffers from jetplaneitis...I think we're all going to be playing with the toys in AH for a while...the weapons convergence setup is wicked...and that shaky thingy that happens when you fire your weapons is really something...(i have to remind myself to use short bursts)...if one of us grabs a gv, it's curiosity, not a habit.

Welcome! Looking foward to winging with you guys if you're gonna fly Knights. Regardless of what some may say, the Knights are a good bunch if you're in the right place with the right guys.  :aok

We don't worry about what "some say"...I'm guessing knights are the underdogs, works for us...we're probably gonna have vox muted since we prefer to use teamspeak when flying together.

Unfortunately you can squelch (mute) range vox, however it will be a good idea to ignore that and country channel if you're flying knights :)

Welcome.

The Trainers Site (http://trainers.hitechcreations.com) is on hand with game mechanic/controller setup info (plus lots of other stuff).  Might want to stop by and download the printable quick reference guide which lists numerous key commands and "dot" commands for AH.

nice thing about the radio here (I don't know how it is with other games as AHII is my first and only) is you can talk on either a dedicated squad channel or the range channel and tune to both at the same time, so you're hearing your squaddies as well as other friendlies that happen to be in the area. Extra nice to not mute range if one of those other frienlies calls a check 6 for yas that your squaddies might not see....

A word of advice before STAYING Knight, do a one month per country tour for a few tours, a few squads do it in here, this way you can get a feel for all 3 sides.

Welcome aboard. It's always good to see a dedicated Jagdgeschwader. Take Daddogs advice and check out Friday Squad Ops. It's similar to the S-3s or was it S-1s of Warbirds.
The JG-11, JG-2, and JG-54 guys are full of good info on the Luftwaffe Flight Models in AH. Also no reason to wash your mouth out a very large number of the AH community moved here from Brand W.

Good Hunting.

Welcome to Aces High - whoever said to try each country out is onto a winner. Your choice however. Please be aware there is a Scenario starting on the 18th July 09 - The battle of the Coral Sea.

There are 2 sides, which will fly 2 frames as the USN, then 2 frames as the IJN. Currently Team Zulu is USN for frames 1 and 2, with Team Alpha being IJN.

Please consider signing up, I can promise you this will be one hell of a battle.

Team CO's are:
Team Alpha - Oneway
Team Zulu - Gwurzel

:salute

Knights?  Are you guys 12?

I started out a knight, you know the reason? Well I was about 12, and rook and bishop sounded stupid... So I said that I'll be a knight because they sound cool.

OMG!!! That's it! All the little kids go to knights because it sounds cool. If not knights they go to rooks because really, bishop sounds queer. All the old people realize that the little kids don't want to go bishop so they all meet there (explaining the high numbers) and there you go!

 :rofl

Looking forward to new targets.  Welcome aboard.

Hardly, but I don't think its any secret that you have a couple players over there who pull the banana-weight of a dozen Rooktards or Bishits, each.  ;)

:shrug:

I guess, I just must not have run into them in the just under 4 months I've been here. Maybe I missed out on some knit-banana history, but I've been really impressed with about 90% of the guys I've flown around, including other squads. Only a rarity to hear someone whine, and plenty of guys calling out check-6's and working together. Maybe I've been lucky.  :aok

Or maybe you're just sore someone got the better of ya and you now hate all knits for it?  :)
