Anyone hear from or seen the following players:
Airstud
Dr7
Walleye
-
After the loss of pipz I have wondered who may of passed on without us knowing.
It is quite possible that there are many.
-
I have wondered about Dr7 as well, seems like I recall that Walleye had some legal issues and he may be a guest of the county for a while.
-
I saw Walleye recently with a new call sign. :x
Airstud moved to a new house and may have connections issues. :rolleyes:
I think Dr7 is taking a break. :joystick:
:salute
Just my opinion
-
I think Dr7 is taking a break. :joystick:
The man with most kills in the history of AH taking a break?
Inconceivable :old:
-
I do not know but I would guess Dr7 is or was disappointed in the AH3 GV play. I sure hope that is what it is instead of something more serious. I know I have seen him off and on since ah3 but it has been sometime since his last visit to ah3. I can not remember in ah3 Dr7 landing the big kill numbers like in ah2. He knew ah2 terrain better than most.
-
The GV play in AH3 is different only in that you can't camp behind a berm or obstacle unless you're on a base. No more 85 spawn with the hill, the bridge, and all the berms, away from a town or base. Same with the old 135/136 spawn, and the 26/28 spawn areas, and the valley spawn areas (can't remember the map names off the top of my head). Those were tremendous fun. Camp behind a berm, fill the pipe with crack, and have at it.
No more of that. But, there is definitely something to be said about the quality of tanking around the GV fields and towns in AH3. I think in that regard, the GV play is better.
I put on the wishlist a few months ago for Hitech to create new objects for the map makers to drop into their maps. Namely the old style bridges, berms, and barns. That way a map maker can drop in those objects wherever they wanted between spawn areas, or around a field or in front of a town. Doesn't seem like it would be that hard to create or insert. If you can drop in a tree on a hill, why not a berm. Put another way, if you can create a slab of terrain and bake in buildings, and traversable curbs, gun pits and small, steep hills and call it a town object with stuff you can drive up to and over, and then drop that town object in a certain spot on the terrain, why not create a slab of terrain with baked in berms, small steep hills, barns, bridges, and trees on them, and drop that in the terrain near a spawn, or between spawns.
-
Umm I may be mistaken but I spawned into a base tonight and I believe DR7 was camping the spawn and got several before being popped. At least thats the name that everyone was calling out. :)
-
In regards to DR7 he has not been on in the last 2 1/2 months because he has had to step back to care for his wife who is seriously ill. Today we got a good doctor's report but she has a long way to go and DR7 does not know when he will return to the war. :salute

Wow, turn a thread on finding someones friends into the never ending doom of gvs in AH III theme doesn't indicate an exceptionally concerning need for help or anything. I don't know any of them, but the first two played last tour, but not this one, and the last played in tour 208 or so. I know that doesn't tell you where they are, but probably disproves this post a wee bit.
-

Dr7 is a great guy, and heck of a good player. His absence has left a big hole in the game no matter if you are on his side our getting your tank busted by the King of GVs. I do wish his wife a speedy recovery and do understand the hard road he is following having experienced a similar problem this year myself.
Halo my post was not intended to pull away from the OP but just an explanation.

NKL5 has been missing for almost a year. He is busy taking care of his grand kids at the moment.
He is best Arado 234 and B-25 pilot, period.
:salute

Agreed, Miss him asking everyone if they like apples. :rofl

Wizer please pass on to DR7, we are thinking about him, and wish him and his wife the best. Miss he's observations and tactics in game.
:pray
-
NKL5 and I used to steal (literally) v bases in Mid War. Several in a row with the same tactic.
He would keep all the Wirbs looking up while I was running the troops into
the maproom. He was a big trophy for them and getting him was more important
than keeping the base LOL.
:salute
-
My most fond memory of DR7 was back in AH1 I belive when tigers were near indestructible. He was camping as usual and killed me a couple times, so I up a JU-87 with the big boomb and drop it on him with no discernible damage afterword. I then up a D-Hog and put 2 1000's on him and that finished him off... For some reason that kill always stuck in my head lol. <S> DR7
-
Floatsup?

I miss Shubie, from the Birds of Prey. BOP was who I joined first in '04, and Shubie was the guy that would break out the underdog hangar queens and take us on some pretty cool missions against the late war monsters.
-
Would be cool if HTC had a one day amnesty (free) for previous accounts. Maybe New Year's Day...when everyone's hung over and at home :devil
-
I miss Deth7, from waaaaaaay back in AW days with the Pigstompers, my first squad ever. He also flew a bit in WB and then here very shortly.
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeee!
-
DmdDano, Fool, Coach, Ren, Silat, Egger, Niffers, Snowman, Ductape to name a few.
-
Spork also a BOP.. He just vanished years ago. He never spoke on vox but was an excellent pilot. Never did find out what happened to him. :frown:
-
The names in this thread bring back so many memories.
I lurk every few years. I miss my old Blue Thunder Squad. BTDiver, BTPage, BTFrog... =(
I was 15 or so back then. Now I'm almost 31, and never forgot how those guys treated me and helped me out so much just by being good role models. My own kid is almost 5 now. I wish I could tell those guys I turned out okay and I miss them.
I remember being "too sick" to go to school one day. I played AH all day and Diver was online as well. Typically, we were a Corsair squad but we flew P-51's all day. I can't go to an Air Show today without thinking about him when I see the P-51 flying. Funny how things like that stick with you.
-
:salute feardeth
He went "missing" in the ma last night.
How did you little trip go?
:bhead :bhead :bhead :bhead :bhead :bhead :bhead << don't do this at home
-
It would probably be a real good idea for squadies to trade email addresses, so you can keep in touch. Every now and then I'll send an email to DMZ, Buff, BigPat, etc. Or PM via facebook, just to make sure they're ok. Semi-famous guys like Buff are easy enough to follow via Twitter and see how they're doing.

BTPage is playing as ULTactus these days, I believe.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeee!
Just spoke with him not long ago. He came into AH3 about 7 months ago at my request, but didn't stay long. He's busy riding his Triumph and everyday life.

Tallboy, Dhyran, Gathoo, Gunner, Shu, Gunhog, Geist, Rulo, Stache from Loose Deuce alone.
2 did not make the transition to AHIII due to old hardware.

Yup! :furious At LEAST, I had an opportunity to express my feelings on his leaving. GOD I hate losing any of you guys! You guys have NO idea what you have meant to me :rock
-
If I left would you be upset?
-
If I left would you be upset?

I have seen Davski1 I think it was his call sign.. Since I discovered the MA he loved his Brewster and was fun to chat with on channel
-
Erich / Blinkt. Perhaps because I pointed out his post count was exactly 109.

Just a heads up, I tried to reach out to BigPat last week, and he hasn't answered. His Facebook page looks like it's dormant.

Erwin was Joker and he just disappeared. He lived in South America somewhere I believe and owned a bar, hope he is ok.

Too bad there is not a way for HT to keep a trail of people that change their IDs like say Paypal does, you can go on paypal and see what different names a person has used for their accounts. I know there are ways around it but if a person uses their same account information and just change their ID there should be a way for the rest of the community to trace what names they have used in the game.
