:old: Been some time since my last 'look-at-me' post (7 years I think), and also quite some time since I posted something with a positive vibe, so here's another milestone of mine:
I Just shot down my 400th B29 in the main arena(s) of Aces High. My favourite prey in AH of all time: Rare, fast, resilient, incredibly well armed and usually flown at very high altitudes by pilots who are no beginners either. I still remember the two only times I got the "4 B-29s in one sortie" achievements (both times on Ozkansas, one raid was led by the Black-Knights (Germany) and the other by Earl a few years later), just because it's so difficult and exciting to get. :joystick:
And yes, it took me a damn long time to get there. With the B-29 being introduced in February 2011, I reached 100 kills in February 13, 250 kills in April 14 and 300 only 7 months later. So it took me over 7 more years just to collect the next 50 scalps. But then, B-29 missions are basically a thing of the past, and I am not longer a regular since November 2015. I would have liked to wait until #500 with this shameless self-promotion, but I very much believe this day will never come.

Not included in these numbers: The countless times the B-29 broke through my defense and smashed their target anyway, or I only caught up with them after the drop, or I was gliding home shot up badly (I'm looking at you, Ta-152 radiator! :angry: ).
p.s.: I miss the huge, escorted long-range bombing missions which once were a thing in Aces High :(

Well done sir! :salute

WTG Lusche! :aok

Impressive sir, missing you in the MA. :cheers:

Rare? Flown by pilots who are not beginners? Well, yeah. I don't know how many perk points you have to earn to launch a B29, but it's a LOT more than I have. Still, congrats on your tenaciousness. Another 100 isn't out of reach, especially if I get enough points to start launching B29s. See, there's a silver lining to every cloud.
Rock on!

Dang, too bad I change my name so much, would be awesome to see how many Wirble kills I have, and deaths to them broken down.
WTG on your achievement.

13. I guess with the oxygen supplies replaced by a blender, you simply can't reach their usual cruise altitudes anymore :old:
By the way, you also have 11 kills in B-29s yourself

I have recollections of being part of this 400 club and you in a Mossie. I recall it because I had been practicing some B-29 stuff in the TA and loaded up 25% fuel and only noticing as I approached the target which was either a HQ or City.
Then again...... it may have been a nightmare or bad dream I had.
Then again my coconut and swiss cheese have many things in common. :old:

I think once i lost like 20 b29's in 2 hours betting my squadies that I would shot down more of them. then again there was a fire sale on b29's that afternoon. we had a great time.

OzKansas.... Now that is a name I haven't seen used in a very long time! That was an old name I used long ago. Can't remember if I was flying 2 sets or if that was pre 2016 but either way big :salute on the milestone
It was sorties like that one and many more of yours that forced me to up my gunner and strategy game over the years.

Actually, I messed up the names. It wasn't OzKansas, it was TAGMA those missions happened on.

It could be the weight of Triple-sec and Cuervo in the DTs...... along with modified blender of course. :D That dang ice machine too.
Then there are the times deep into the night when I am shooting at a whole flight of bombers that turns out to be one bomber. Again margaritas :D

LOL, didn't even notice that. I'd love to hear the story on that one.

You won't believe how long it took me to get my Tiger II to 30K :old:
The true story has no glamour, though: Someone with too many buff perks flew low enough to get killed by town ack. Those two kills are just proxies.

I prefer the story I made up in my head.

Spikes, I really appreciate your input and participation in AH, but allow me to say, I was scrolling through this thread and my lovely and gracious wife, Connie walked through.
"Who is that?"
"Uh, that's Spikes. I'm not sure who he is. He's a biggie, though."
"That's not what it looks like to me."
"Uh.... yeah. I love you, too, sweetie."
So, you make my life a challenge from time to time and I thought you should know. <Salute>
