What one fight, moment or accomplishment do you consider the highlight of your AH career?
Had some epic fights, but my shining triumph of tardage was getting 300 kills in the TBM in one tour. :banana:

Shooting down Lusche in a 262 while flying KI-67s. He had tormented me my first year or two in the game cause he was so damn good at shooting down bombers. Often I'd fly at strats all night long just trying to beat him and I always lost. Then one night I saw a 262 approach my right side and just hang there about 1,000 out like he was trying to decide whether to attack or not and I didnt do a thing to make him think I didnt see him.
I had learned to roll the bombers with my rudders to get those HO-5s on fighters who thought they were below their range. When I saw his name I almost blew a gasket, I had killed the best Bomber hunter in the game...finally. I felt like I just shot down Günther Rall. I dont think I ever beat him again.

227-7 best K/D ratio for actually trying
17 Kills in one sortie in a P51B and 16 kills in one sortie in a f4U-1. They are my 2 highest kill sorties to date.

I've gotten 13 kills in a K4 without rearming before and 16 in a 262 without a rearm. I never really tried for kill streaks in them though cause the circumstances were never right, so the highest I've ever gotten was 22 kills in a 262.
I also became kinda happy to see an increase over my hit% over the years, been averaging in the low teens now.
I really just listed some things I was pretty content on seeing I don't think I have a "crowning" achievement.

I avoid the LW planes most of the time and often just jump into the Shark tank so k/d and streaks isn't so impressive but landing a 10 kill streak in the Brewster while defending an air base is not so bad.

Dunno if i could pick one. and there is a bunch I probably wont remember being put on the spot but I've had a bunch of individual memorable pleasurable moments that stand out.
I had a legitimate 20 kill flight once. albeit I had to re arm a couple times.m I have the film some where I just dont remember what I named it. One time in a 109F and at a disadvantage I was in a 4 V1 and made all 4 auger.
Another time in AH1 I was in a panzer with another panzer wayyyy in the distance coming down a hill. He just looked like a dot. I used max elevation to the point I couldnt even see who I was shooting at and best guess and killed him 1 shot.
Single handed defending a maproom in a wirble for over an hour in AH2
Killing 9999999999 PT boats about 20 times in an LVT while he kept shooting torpedoes at me.
Killing a CV from 20K in a Stuka after nosing down at 25K.
Killed 3 on 1 rope a year or so ago. All three followed me up and all three were hung out to dry one right after the other on my way back down
Running into the side of a mountain while leading a squad on a mission. So loyal to me were they that they all followed suit.
Shot down 2 B-17's that were much higher then me with rockets from a typhoon
But the thing I've probably felt satisfied and enjoyed the most was when I was with the Pale Riders and we mastered the art of formation flying which is infinitely more interesting then taking part in a conga line. We had people compliment us and some even thought we were bomber formations at a distance. makes for a nice little trap

I try for a crowning achievement every time I fly.
It's usually something different like landing 2 cv sunk and 2 cruisers sunk in one PT boat mission.............successfully landed or maybe creeping up to a manned ack with a pistol, walking in front of him until he sees me and then destroying the ack.

My two fights ever. One with a kill. The other just lucky to have escaped. First one, I was flying a C205 and got caught low after attacking a bandit by 4 more of his friends. I maneuvered with them for nearly 5 minutes, it seems like. I worked my butt off trying to keep them in front of me and get a shot. I only damaged one and he pulled out of the fight. I finally worked into an exit window and escaped.
The second one, I was in a Spit IX, and got jumped by a 109 in BnZ mode at 5.0 K out. I turned away as he had at least 5-6K alt advantage, and patiently started a slow climb out until he attacked. I Split S'ed and started another slow climb out in the opposite direction. The 109 pilot zoomed up and turned to attack again, and I evaded again. We did that 11 times all together, by which time, I was nearly co-alt with him. Finally, he came in again. I evaded. And this time he must have gotten impatient as he flat turned on me instead of zooming back up. That was his final mistake as, now being co-alt I turned inside of him, tracked and destroyed him. My patience won, his eventual exasperation and impatience lost it for him. These events were both years ago.

Lots of them in scenarios for me. Some of the more memorable (but not all of the more memorable).
Frame 3 of the "Southern Conquest" scenario: Ride of the Valkeries!
Frame 4 of "Battle of Britain 2013". Awesome action in He 111's. Taking out targets after fighting through a hornet's nest. (http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/201309_BattleOfBritain2013/pics/frame4/011-moreAttacks-SNAG-0018.jpg)
Frame 4 of "Winter Sky / Death Ground". 7 kills in a frame is a lot for me (as I'm no Bruv or DrBone). (http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/201204_winterSkyDeathGround/pics/frame4/015-killTempest-SNAG-0023.jpg)
Frame 1 of "Enemy Coast Ahead". Fantastic action in 190A-5's, taking out Spitfires. (http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/201110_enemyCoastAhead/pics/frame1/007-chasedOut-Image-0011.jpg)
Frame 1 of "Battle Over Germany". Awesome fun scouting the bombers, and fights from high alt on down. My best frame, bagging two P-47's, two P-38's, and one B-17 in my Bf 109G-6. [/img]http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/201102_battleOverGermany/pics/frame1/004-p47kill-Image-0007.jpg[/img]
Frame 1 of "Red Storm / Krupp Steel". Awesome fights at lower alts, including some weaving through trees. (http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/200910_redStormKruppSteel/pics/frame1/011-lowFight-Image-0024.jpg)
Frame 1 of "Coral Sea 2009". Marvelous torpedo-bombing action. Landing a torp hit on the Zuikaku and one on a cruiser. (http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/200907_coralSea2009/pics/frame1/027-hits-Image-0088.jpg)
Frame 4 of "Stalin's Fourth". Exhilarating ground action! I was in on one of the key captures, which we got by the skin of our teeth. (http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/stalins_fourth/pics/frame4/016-58Monday.jpg)
Frame 3 of "Coral Sea" in 2005. My first time torpedo bombing in a scenario. Got a torp into the Lexington, the Chicago, and one other cruiser. (http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/coral_sea/pics/frame3-7_drop2.jpg)

As was Brookes experience in Scenarios mine was in one also. In Der Grosse Schlag. We were escorting B17s deep into Germany. We were attacked by a mix of 109s and 190s brilliantly
directed by someone....I suspect Stampf on this one ;). Anyway the 109s came in high over the bombers where our Jugs were. 109s job was to distract the escort while the 190s came in a bit lower
to attack the B17s. Was a brilliant plan. What a HooT! massive amount of 8th air force fighters tangling with Luftwaffe fighters and tracers flying everywhere in the sky from fighters and bombers.
To make this short.....we got some of our bombers to target and our Jugs were very low on fuel. In the process of the fight I managed a few kills and shooed some 190s of our 17s' six.
The flights got separated. I don't know how many of the 56th (in the scenario) made it out. I was alone rtb cut way back because of fuel. Didn't think I would make it when I picked up
two forms of B17s. Both forms were short a plane and two buffs had fuel leaks. I picked them up and escorted both forms to the nearest allied base. I ran out of fuel on approach landing
at an Allied Base. The B17s touched down and so did I. That my friends is what Aces High is all about!

I don't have much of an achievement or much bragging rights.
But I was practically raised by the AH community. I was 12 when I joined the forums, roughly around the time H2H went under if I recall right.
I learned a lot about class and respect from my short run-ins with different squads and groups of people, from my first squad leader AApache who took me in for a short time (maybe even as short as a trial period), to the kids of the 357th Death Dragons, Xtrepid and the Soup Cans, to OddCAF who taught me a lot about having fun and letting go with the 47 Ronin. A great many people left a mark on me in some way or another.
I learned a lot about history and a lot about life.
Now I'm just about 22, all grown up and fighting the good fight in Afghanistan.
So I guess my achievement is meeting you clowns. :salute :cheers:

Greatest gameplay achievement, probably coming out on top getting bounced on the deck in my P47D11 by 3 or 4 people, I want to say 4 but it might've been 3 ;) I'd just killed someone else and had no E whatsoever, 500 feet alt, and I managed to kill them all. Some guys might call that Tuesday but it was an awesome feeling.
Greatest achievement overall though is definitely the people I've met.

I was wholly immersed attacking those formations. My cohort in the lead 109 was Perdweeb. Always worked very well with him over the years. He understood patience and how to effectively stay up top and keep escort fighters busy and looking over their shoulders, allowing me to get the boys in - to do good hot work against the forts.

I really thought a lot about this question, and it's somehow hard to find anything I would call a 'crowning' achievement. For sure it wasn't things like 50 in a sortie or 300+ killstreaks in a late war perk monster. The greatest singular joyful excitement I ever had was very early on, my first 2 kill sortie, aka 'name in lights' :rock Other than that.. reaching 1000 tank kills in the Hurri D was worth a celebration as well as shooting down my 100th B-29. (I even made 'look at me' threads about it :noid). As well as getting the regular "4 B-29 in a sortie" achievement (twice), especially as I don't even see that many B-29s anymore.
Oh, and my best tank shot: Getting a >6k first shot hit and kill. On a friendly outside icon range. Best killshot ever :ahand

As a little kid first reading about WW2 fighter pilots, the dream was always to take Mustangs to Berlin. I'd never had a Mustang group in all the scenarios I'd been a GL.

What one fight, moment or accomplishment do you consider the highlight of your AH career?
For me, the accomplishment was being allowed to be staff in the Combat Theater, later Axis v Allied arena. I believe I enjoyed every moment I spent there. I made some of the best electronic friendships ever; gleaned a small sense of what the real men faced in the war; and seemed always to fly against talented, honorable opponents. I don't think I'll ever forget those glorious days and evenings. It troubles me still that I contributed to the dwindling of numbers there.

Everyone has some grand story that I can't even come close too...
The very first time I actually got involved in the game and it's "events", was the "white knuckled" Battle of Britain.(BoB-2015?) Hanging with a bunch of good chaps in the glorious machine called a hurricane, we hunted the huns! I may not have lasted long once the enemy bombers were called out over the channel, but boy what a go! :x
The second time this game got me "hooked" was another scenario. (Battle Over The Winter Line)Tried my hand with them bomber boys, came out to the hanger after the fourth frame, and the mechanix gave me an updated paint job. I was proud. Pipz Proud. :salute

Dubious, are you going to fly in the October 22nd "Tunisia 1943" scenario?
I hope so!
It will be GLORIOUS! :aok
Here's a list of what spots are still available. Also, if none of the open spots appeals to you, since it is 12 hours of battle, and folks very likely won't all be flying the same hours, you can join the reserve list to fly in whatever group you want whenever it has an opening.

I do believe you and I would've been the best of friends had we been born at the same time and the same area. :)
My achievements are as follows: for the MA's it was joining G3MF and completing the Marseille achievement, he is my favorite 109 pilot.
For scenarios it's a tie. The first one was DGSII and joining the 355th FG. I haven't had a scenario quite like that one where the history was there, and to me at time it did feel like I was living in that era. With our own personal planes, and my journal entry writings, plus promotions and medals it was awesome. The fighting of Germany in Mustang was always a dream of mine, and I felt like I did that through that scenario. There were plenty of white knuckle fights, and I was worried I wasn't going to make it back at times. This scenario is where the Ditto vs BFOOT1 rivalry began, and it still continues to this day!
The other tie for scenarios would be the most recent scenario we did Battle of the Dniepper. That was my most successful scenario is a GL and for personal victories. I believe I scored 18 victories overall and JG 52 had 60 victories overall. :rock

Going on a 398 kill streak over the course of a month in the P-51 without being shot down. The streak ended on literally the last day of the month at around 11pm when I went to the bathroom on climb out and came back to the sound of 50cals from a Jug on my 6. In a bizarre coincidence, the streak 'technically' ended, at least as far as the K/D stat was concerned, when I disco'd at exactly 351 kills.

Not Jeeps But you're close. We didn't have a name for it but it was sort of like a clown car base capture. I remember telling the boys "of course it will work, there's no way they'll expect us to be stupid enough to even try this tactic" and we dont neeed no stinking spawns, we've got 2 guys on deack the town duty and a 3rd pilot waiting 1 sector over in case they don't.
My all time favorite I forgot to film but me and the guys had posted a big cv mission and got an exceptionally large number of joiners. I used a loophole in the mission planner so that no matter what plane was chosen, everybody got a C-Hog and we kicked bellybutton but there was also a ton of whining from the within ranks about what I'd done to them (like it was a bad thing or something). In any case, it went over about as well as when we changed the squad name to Sexual Chocolate.

Reminds me of the time we did a mission with a pretty good turnout. We were going to "get a town" on the coast. It was a pretty good ways out. About a third of the way there we started filling people in on what to do. It was about that time someone noticed that they had a torpedo. Then others quickly chimed in that their loadout was a torpedo.
We just kept talking normally and started giving folks approach directions to town to drop their torpedo.... they caught on quickly after a couple of newer folks tried to explain that you can't torpedo a town. Every stayed on and not 1 person based. We torpedoed a town.
Until then most of them had never tried it.

hi you knuckleheads.....9 kills in one pass was something i can remember. i seen a giant 2 sector dar moving our way. it had to be a strat run. so i loaded up a 110 with rockets, found a field way back by the strats and started climbing towards the dar. i reach about 28k and the dar is 1 sector away now. soon , i see the cloud of B17s and they are at about 25 k and i am coming in at them from their high 11 . i pickle my rockets at the lead and open up the 30 and 20 mms. the rockets killed 4 bombers outright and i got some major hits with the guns as i blew through. one of their escorts had a bad angle on me and i evaded his guns. but he lost it bc we were so high, he just blew it and i was free to continue. but he had done just enough that i couldnt re-catch the bombers. i can see them and am gaining , but i know that i am dead 6 and im not goin to get there before they get to the strats. soon i see kill #5, then another and another and so on till i am at 9 kills and 4 assists. i'm all happy and rtb but the base is a sector and a half away and i am at 1 min fuel. i try to glide it, but its no lancaster. i land about 2k away from the stupid base. i curled up in the corner and had a good long sports /competition cry. :bhead

53 base takes in 48 hours....
Back when I was running 3 sets of buffs I used to team up with guys and move lots O mud in a short amount of time. A lot of these bases were defended, some were not. Essentialy you use 1 set for WF deack and 2 sets to shut down logistics for defenders either porking ords, hanger shutdown, vh resup shutdown, ect. When you invest the right amount of time using multi-sets your basically unstoppable. Overwhelming the enemy with blitzkrieg style attacks at multiple locations opens a lot of doors when defenders are scrambling with little coordination. You just start a big fight at critical bases and work surrounding bases under the cover of darkness while most players are diatracted with full dar bars. Each situation required a different approach based on how much defense there was, how easy it was to resup, ect. In over half the cases a simple wf/deack sneak the troops worked even with defenders. Using mutliple sets also opened the door for attacking 2-3 bases at once spreading oit defenders. Sometimes all this worked, most of the time you get bogged down or something went wrong. On this 2 day run it was the epitome of all my years playing with excellent teamwork that lead to 2 map resets and a few angry pms :salute
Reckon had I been more disciplined with my mouth and not a raging alcoholic at times could have pulled more assistance then what I would get over the years. You live and learn i guess...

Having read this I must give credit where credit is due. Squads such as P. O. T. W. & the 49th, sfox's shade hunters, HGAnchor's squad, and a few other players all contribited to this incredible run. All I did was handle logistics. Buff pilots have the easy job in this game. Something I failed to recognize in my years playing. Just because you can wf deack and shoot anyone down 50% doesnt mean squat on a take until all 10 troops walk into that glorious white flagged map room

:salute admin took away my pm ability otherwise would have responded to your pm MaX. Honestly, im sure there was good reason behind that and I forgot during a night of drinking. Im such a bitter drunk at times hehe sticks and stones though I guess :neener:
To answer ur pm MaX had been playing PUBG. Nowadays no time with work. Since im back in DFW im considering walking into HTC office with a "bribe" just to say thanks for all the good times the game presented one of these days. I wanted the game to go in a direction i saw fit and got bitter over that.

That reminds me of the time that vDALLAS ejected a squad member a few minutes before my public CV mission launched. The former squaddie took revenge on us by turning the boat full left rudder a few seconds before we launched and about 30 planes hit the conning tower in rapid succession. The Guy who was manning the rear 5" turret was laughing so hard that it caused him to have a stroke.
This should have made me very angry but I was laughing too hard to get mad at the guy. Ironically, his ruthless cunning proved that Dallas was in the wrong for kicking him out and our squad wasted a lot of potential future greatness by kicking him out.

Always good times no matter if on the giving or receiving end of those fights.

You know, I was trying to think of something to put in this thread, but couldn't until you mentioned this. YES! I killed Shane just once (in a fair fight, 1v1). He was in an A6M2, I was in a Hurri I. Probably he was just tired of playing with me, but at the time it seemed like a bona fide win. Never happened again, I can tell you.
Similar experiences with Dedalos. Any time I could manage to kill him, I counted myself a hero. The heroic moments did not occur often.

I enjoy reading these even though I have been out of the game a few years. Makes me want to go buy a joystick and come back. Salute from McAdoo.

I topped myself today! (In my own mind of course)
I was climbing and still safe behind our own lines when I hear someone on range say "Thanks a lot A___HOLE!!!" So naturally I say on range "Who, me?"
I was in a deuce and this other guy told me that the was using VR and sound of my 262 scared him and he hit his head on his desk :bhead whilst looking for the source of his sudden terror. :airplane:
