Do you remember when there was:
1. No runways (just dirt runway which could be bombed)
2. No hangars
3. Only 2 ack on the airfield, but UBER ack!
4. Field ack having tracer
5. GVs/aircraft giving bar dar on spawn
6. No re-arm pads
7. Old Flight Model
8. Troops could be dropped at any altitude, any speed
9. Maproom on the airfield
10. Having to use Roger Wilco if you wanted vox!
11. Beta terrain
12. Ditching at high speed
How things have improved!!!
Trying to land the Typhoon with the old FM was a nightmare! You'd have to get it slow enough to put the gear down but then the stall horn would be buzzing like crazy and then you'd flip over stalled! I think the best way to land was to ditch at higher speed!
