yes, there are two ways to go about it.  (you can join them in fighters or ground vehicles as well)

Probably the easiest way is to use the .join command.   You would simply type .join (persons name) i.e.    .join wmlute  and once they accpet it, you  are in the plane with them.  You can man the guns on the bomer or ground vehicle, or simply fly along in a fighter.  

BUT ALWAYS ASK before you send a .join, as it pops up a box on their screen that blocks their view, and in the middle of a fight that can be a lethal distraction.

The OTHER way is to go into the HANGER while you are in the tower, and in the middle left under the plane list, is a button that says JOIN.  Click it.  It will then bring up a list of pilots, find the one you want to join, highlight their name, and click ok.

Like the 1st example, this pops open a request to join box on their screen.  ALWAYS ASK before you try to join someone.

"ALWAYS ASK before you try to join someone."

here here.

This has to be one of the most annoying small things in AH,    Some noob gunner the other week was so miffed that no-one wanted a gunner he proceeded to go down the roster spamming everyone.  People with A'B or C's  in there name are targeted first!  so i guess your lucky there  lute.

another moan  is the squelch list just because they re-log shouldnt mean that they are un squelched

I've had to squlech miner101  about 8 times in 3 days!

.showjoin 0 or the next time the popup request shows click on "Message".

Its an arena specific setting (in other words you have to change it for each arena seperatly)

No, you can join any *player* in an ONLINE or H2H arena. You cant join the drones.


The OFFLINE drones are just set to circle the base. They dont shoot, they dont manuver, they dont even follow the FM (if you shoot a wing off them, they still keep flying). And you cant join them. They are just there to practice your gunnery on something.



If you join a player, you need to send a join request. The other player will have to *accept* that request for you to get inside his plane.

You *can* send a join request. And the guy in tower can accept. But it doesnt get you anywhere :).




So the person you want to join should be in flight (in a plane, vehicle or boat) and to be abl to join them you have to be in TOWER.
