Last count I had were roughly 25 pilots mixing it up high and low at fields A1>>A2.
We began with a set of Russian and Japans aircraft..Krusher recommended we just go FFA and allow folks to fly what they needed practice in, and I concured with the amount of folks coming in randomly.
It was a great turn out! <S> everyone that attended. Let's keep this going, its good to just get down and dirty, and as new planes are released in AH, this is a good time to flight test them.
<S>
(P.S. Had a relative call 45 min into the Furball fever and had to log)

was Lazs there?
-
I showed up late, but there were still people in there. Furred at A1 to A2 for a while. Then regurge and I talked nimitz and krusher into doing some no icons from A21 to A22. Kept losing them in the terrain, then they were all over me! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/eek.gif)
They shall pay!

I think pretty much everyone had a blast (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I had fun, would be willing to do this every night. Got caught in the "Krusher" a couple times myself. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Split a few with Regurge, too.
-
Was there at A1/A2 for a few fites, I think its better than the MA on most days. Plus that low alt no icon stuff hblair, Frenchy, Nomde and I did few days ago was terrifying, but so much fun.
-
Yes Laz was not in attendance, but (correct me if I'm wrong, Laz) I think laz wants to be shooting down A/C in an arena that has 100+ so that his kills are exposed in the text buffers of many more pilots, combined with the fact that he'd get his butt handed to him with the quality of pilots I saw present in the DA last night. <G,D,R> (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I apologize for not knowing all the old timers names, but we had some really good pilots in the arena last night.

oh not to mention Brat is flying now <G>

that is correct rip. I am perhaps the worst pilot in this game and very cautious of even that rep. I also like to go where my buddies go and if there is a good fight in the MA I prefer it. I also don't like historical planesets as I am too easily bored with the lack of variety of the fights.

I had a fantastic time! It was great to finally get a chance to mix it up and see what some of these planes (and I) can do, without having to suffer a long flight between fights.
Lots and lots of great fights, and not a lot of squeaking.

Laz, we dropped the historical plane set 30 min. into it. The floor was open for any A/C after that.
My post was Tongue in cheek, you're obviously a better pilot than most IMO. That is where this arena shines...haven't you always wanted to shoot down a better pilot than you? The DA now narrows it down to where you can find him! And if you don't succeed, you might actually learn *why* hes a better pilot. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
You asked for it, HTC delivered, your hangars aren't bombed, and now you won't fly in it. Sheesh Laz. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Convince your 'buddies' to come, it can't be all that big of number now can it?

well... maybe i exagerated... I'm just one of the worst not the worst. Looking at the list of guys in that arena I have to say that I am (even at my pathetic skill level) better than all those guys <G>. Oh, Also, I might have mentioned a couple dozen times that i don't like seperate arenas.
Honestly... the more I'm around the less things change. I recall how the guys in WB HA considered themselves the "best" pilots, the elite, and how even I could do better in there than in the main.
not to say i will never go in there... "never" is a word for fools. I do like the variety of the MA. Fix the field capture silliness and u won't need to chase people into a seperate arena.
-
Hehe, Laz, somehow I feel that no matter what HTC does to gameplay, arenas, etc... that the pessimistic half glass of water will always be half full with you. Ya dang near have an excuse for everything. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Is that what you call what I was doing? I think the terms most closely attributed with me would be augering...crashing...getting shot down...and let's not forget the jumping out of my fuggin chair and almost having a coronary when this extremely loud monotone voice emanated from the heavens and kept screaming "check six" at me...
I did have fun though...managed to fly almost every fighter at least once now. Still haven't found one that fits me quite right.

Brat, I got my wife to record a wav that goes something like this:
Check six!~ (http://Ripsnort60.tripod.com/check6.wav)
Now I don't jump out of the chair anymore, but I immediately have this urge to get naked. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Was a great time last night. Being new to AH, (coming over with the mass exodus from AW) I really need to get some fights under my belt. Flyin for a half hour or so in the MA to get to the next fight just wasn't cuttin it.
I started in this kind of arena in AW--we called it FT (Fighter Town). I thought it was a far better kind of environment for the new pilot to learn. Here the fields are closer so the alt is fairly constant. There's no land grab--its just ACM. You get more "fights per hour" in there. New pilots need this. Ya need to learn what you can do--and what you can't, and be be able to remember what that was and how you did it. Its a lot easier to do this if its happening every five minutes than twice an hour. Learning's best done thru repetition.
I'm gonna try and hang out there as much as I can. That's how I learned to be a pretty fair pilot in AW. I'm just gonna take that same attitude here. Dyin's part of the learnin process! Well so far I have that much down cold! Its irritating knowin what I need to do in my head and not gettin the plane to do it like I could before tho, hehe. That'll come with time and practice.
<S> all for some great fights.

Really! The moron has ME on that list too! He may have known me as a good pilot elsewhere but I've hardly scratched the surface of "fair" in this sim LOL!
