Title: Gflyer and company
Post by: Lazerr on June 07, 2021, 03:05:37 PM
Anyone know where the 475th in aces high went?   Dobbs, Gflyer and others?

Kind of miss a group of 38s ready to fight with or against.

Last thing I remember about them was when they all pitched a fit because they were assigned P-38's in only two of the three frames of a Pacific FSO...

I was in the 475th, flight name icke1.  Flew from about 2006 until 2017 when Dawger took the squadron to Warthunder.  Dawger is on the move again to DCS.  I do not think I will follow.  Warthunder is experiencing a few problems and I do miss the ability to fly, use a GV and try to sink other ships and land targets from a ship without changing arenas that have a 16 person limit per side, Including AI's.  Taking a while to get everything setup with VR, but am looking forward to it.  I recognize a lot of names from days gone by  :lol

I have not seen them in War Thunder but then again when I do show up to play there I am in tanks but then again haven’t played there as much as I used to in the last 3 months lucky if I log in once a week

It takes time to get used to ya have to work each tier to get the good tanks and the areas are not to small a lot of good hiding spots once you get used to the game. My squad is 128 maxed but since I have not been playing as much I know some deadbeats like my self need a cleaning out lol

Lazer <S>.   I rage quit after you killed me in a turn and a half in an LA9 :).  I had reached my fill of LAs and Spit 16s and long flights just to find more of the same. 

475th left long ago - Dawger was grumpy about a ride assignments for  FSO but that wasn't his only reasoning for sliding the 475th over to WT.  I just couldn't get excited about that change and stayed.

The itch is growing to download AH again and reenter the fray.  Glad to hear you and so many are still around keeping things going.  Stay safe up there in the wilds of Wisconsin.

You should know the La7 or spit16 will outturn the p38 buddy. Once again each plane has its advantages and disadvantages. "LEARN THEM"  :salute

I wouldn't say the La7 can out turn a P38. Though in most cases it would come down to the pilot and E situation for sure.

It's quite a shame we've lost so many squads to such a stupid cheesy Russian game like War Thunder. Ugh.

I do agree that there are too many people in easy mode late war planes in the MA. That being said, many people just do not have the patience for a game like AH. Where gaining the advantage takes time and skill. The problem is that dying isn't the problem. But dieing a lot and taking the time to get alt and get to a base can seem like a waste, then when you get jumped by 3 yak3s and 2 spit16s, it makes the game even more harder and frustrating..

I could see that being tough for people. However. If you are a squad based player, and fly with your squad. You should have a pretty good advantage. Just not sure why switching to lame War Thunder would be better?

Haha, well that's about the only thing it has. The rest of the game when I tried it was super cheeeeeesy. Like didn't come close to AH in terms of flight model or flying feeling. I just thought it was for 10 year olds getting into online air combat for the first time.

I play the IL2 Battle series quite a bit, though more of the campaigns than mutliplayer unless I am flying co-op missions with my brother and his son.  I am particularly enjoying the early access of the Battle of Normandy, and have the other IL2 Great Battles games, including their GV centric one, Tank Crew and their WW1 sims, the Flying Circus Vol. I and Vol. II.  I don't look at it as giving money to the "stupid Russians" but rather fellows that work in the same industry as I do and enjoy their products. 

It would be pretty cool if HiTech would release a stand alone single player expansion/DLC campaign.

What a lot of people seem to fail to grasp is by the look of things, the FM over there is good enough.  Planes range from slower and twistier to faster and less twistier.  That's all the vast majority of gamers want.

While people may be able to tell the difference here, the real grognards are over in DCS, and to a certain degree IL2 because for some reason engine management is apparently somehow fun for them.

I've seen a few of these names frequenting the Storm of War discord.

no p38's in there though.   Just Jugs, P51s and Spitfires.   I only need a Spitfire.    :devil  bit of a step up from WT to DCS though.
