Post by: whiteman on August 17, 2021, 08:53:19 AM: After off and on spurts over the last 10 years due to burn out, work and going back to school. I found just playing the game for what it is rather than pressing for country victories and being competitive is more enjoyable. Join the Merc Team and fly as you please, join back with your normal side a bit then move around again.

Post by: captain1ma on August 17, 2021, 09:16:58 AM: See ya Hotard, you will be truly missed. its a darn shame, but all good things must come to an end. I hope that if and when you get bored, you'll pick up the joysticks again. if you never play again, i wish you all the best in whatever you do. was always a pleasure flying with and against you! best wishes!

Post by: Mano on August 17, 2021, 12:11:36 PM: C ya Ho tard. It was always fun fighting you. I remember popping your Panther turret couple years ago with my M-8. You did not give up and bail but fought back with your pintle and won. 😁
That surprised me. I now use different tactics when I come across a Panther to avoid getting pinttled again :D

Hotard didn’t say why.

Slaxer did, seemed more like a reason than whine however.
