I got 33.93 perks for the one I downed in my Mossie.
Sudz got me at least once.

Actually, this year was a lot milder than prior years. I didn't see any complaints about it spoiling the WWII atmosphere of the game and only a couple in 200 saying that they thought the evil con mission should introduce a new aircraft that will be used in the game, such as a super Ki-43 that can simply have it's flight model and guns corrected to a historical Ki-43.

ABSOFRIGGIN FANTANSTIK TIME.
:aok
All I did, was fly in an what i called 0g, no idea what weightlessness feels like, BUT thank you very much
letting me experience what i may have felt like.
HUGE Salute to the HTC Crew, and the Convention.
Great time other then people outside the con trying to kill ya.
Cheers. :aok

Maybe they did. :noid

this what it looked like about half hour before con mission was supposed to launch -- was expecting con mission, did not expect people to say there was a disc above the sun at 60k :) immediately could tell something was odd, so just started working towards it.

climbing thru 32k, it was still probably 40k, and notice the second one had popped!:

then finally sometime after the con mission launched:

Hmm, alien invasion in the middle of WWII? Methinks someone has been reading Harry Turtledove recently... :noid

Their farts were explosive. :D

Surprisingly even their sights showed up in my filmviewer. Normally NME sights don't.

You HiTech guys need to create a fourth or "Undefined" country in your object model to make this less 'disturbing'...
As a Bishop last night, it took me awhile to realize that the only thing I could kill were Knights and Rooks (I know that sounds lame...but I figured your hyped up space ships were fair game for "All")...I was left with a repugnant choice...which in essence became a self defeating condition...given that the apparent object was to kill space ships launching out of Texas...to effect that end...it also raised the inevitable squad/conflict issues of switching countries in Main Arena...
Thanks but no thanks...
Morally speaking I was not going to engage in opportunism and cherry pick guys flying Knights and Rooks fixated on killing Tie Fighters...even though I suffered getting picked while I doggedly chased the space craft before realizing I couldn't kill them...and then I got as far away from this circus as possible...
Which then raised another problem...the rest of Rook and Knight land were wide open and undefended...because they were chasing cartoon space ships in a World War 2 arena...Ugh...so their bases were wide open and ripe...
Perhaps you can create another country called "Queens" for the Con guys to join?
Or perhaps you can launch this in SEA and block joining of the space ship country?

It is one freaking night a year. Don't get your panties in a wad. It was supposed to be a 'fun' (one-time only) thing. You don't have to take the game sooooo seriously everyday do you? :rolleyes:

You picked the perfect name ! :aok

vonmessa you know black socks and white tennis shoes is so unfassionable!

.....
I say this with all due respect. Shut your computer down. Grab a cold beverage from your fridge, and go outside, or at least sit on your couch with a book and unwind.
This is a GAME. Not war, not real life, no one lives or dies. It's a freaking game, and for a few moments last evening, the game was interrupted by a sense of sillyness and fun, for the sake of nothing else, but sillyness and fun.
I can only hope you take things in your life at least as seriously as your post was about this GAME, because if you don't your priorities are waaaaay out of whack.

I would seriously consider some professional help, as you apprently aren't aware that this is infact a GAME. I have provided a link to help you find a psycho therapist, and I send my best wishes to you and any family you might have while you take this new and difficult step. Remember, the first step is often the hardest.

Damn Klingon cloaking devices :D

I got 2 good claw kills on film but dont know how to post AHF files
-
This was the best CON ever.
-
I was out there ready to take on a Claw in my trusty D3A1 but unfortunately none attacked me. :frown: I did try to fly the inner depressed ring on top of the mothership but sadly you could fly through the mothership without damage. :frown: I ended up fighting a Spit XVI but got picked by someone else. :frown: Who then ended up in our country moments later. :frown:
Well anyway, it was all cool and I got to at least see it. :)
-
After not playing for about a month, I logged in the other night, took off in my DORA and headed toward the fight.. Next thing I see is red laser beams flying past my cockpit. I'm thinking that my graphics card is fried or something is terribly wrong with my computer. Then this Stars Wars fighters flies past me at warp speed. I'm thinking that HTC done went nuts and completely changed the game.. After reading the text buffer, I figured out what was going on...
After taking a month away from the game and logging on to see star fighters shooting laser beams at you is enough to make you wonder if your drinking too much. I thought it was a cool change to the game for a weekend... I finally got on the six of a CLAW fighter only to find out that its farts are very deadly...

How many did you kill Grizz?
-
How many did you kill Grizz?
Didn't kill any, my standard slashing jet angles were no match for claws that take ungodly amounts of taters to kill. :)
-
I was in a claw, saw you there in the D3a, thought "anyone willing to bring a Val to a Claw fight deserves to not be shot down by me. So I found another target. Apparently most of us felt the same. <S> for having big brass ones.

Maybe they're Vampires. I killed one a dem claws with a garlic clove.
-
They must be vampires. I know which three I got in the Wirble and it doesn't give a plane, just that I killed them once.... :huh :bolt:
-
I'm sad I missed this hopefully I'll make it next year
-
WAH!! I never got to see one....do it again Skuz-Meister PPPP-leeeeez? :old:
-
Is there anyway to fly them offline? Definitly a Bummer the motherships dont show up on the film veiwer
-
Looks kinda good!
Oh. And the Luft46 web site now shows the very same "craft" but with
swastikas on it and labelled as the Heinkel "LERCHE IV."
So yet another Nazi uber plane, which was but a few, mere "hours" from
being deployed and would have turned the tide of that war, gets...um
"discovered"
-
was an absolute blast :aok

HUHH??? WHAT THE HELL???!! A MOTHERSHIP! :x
