Kumusta (means Hello in Filipino). My name is David (call sign KABYAO which means Horse in Filipino) I am 58 almost 59 yrs old. I am a Viet Nam Veteran. I served two combat tour of duty in Viet Nam 1968-1969 and again from Feb 1970 to Nov 1970 (United States Marine Corps). I have a major in History especially in Air Combat from World War 1 to Viet Nam. I also have study Naval War Fare of the United States Navy of World War 2. I know what the capability of most planes are. I have study and talk to alot of pilots of World War 2 and my father was a Marine Pilot with MAG 12 Marine Squadron VMF-115 in World War 2 station in the Philippines. He flew the F4U Corsair.I have been married to a wonderful Filipino woman for 5 yrs and we have a 3yr old daughter who will be 4 in August. Where we live, the Battle of Surigao Strait took place on the early morning of Oct 25, 1944. Where my wife village is on the province on Dinagat Island, across from where the PT Boats made the first attack on the Japanese Southen Force.
I am not new to AH, I flew here back in 2003. I have been flying virtual Air Combat Flight Sims since 1986. I have flown in the old Air Warriors 1,2,3, all three MS Combat Flight Sims,
EAW and IL2, third wire First Eagles, Wings Over Viet Nan, Fighter Ace 2.5 and Warbirds and etc.... I am not here to compere games, I know each and every one has it Pro's and Con's and I don't want people here to think I come here to compere it with any other game. I an here to see if AH2 is worth spending money on and to see if the game has improved at all. I am not into mods, I like my flight Sim to be straight forth with out any cheat sheets or so forth. I am a straight shooter. And I am a straight talker, I say whats on my mind and don't beat around the bush. At times I can be ill-temper (that's from being a Sgt. in the Marine Corps). However I am not all that bad, I am easy to get along with and love to have fun when flying. If I do stay I will be forming the 47th/312th Bomb Group Light which will be a dedicated low level attack bomber group A-20C/G.
What I look for in the game?
1) Realistic and Authentic Flight Modeling and Damage Modeling
2) Realistic and Authentic Campains (Especially a Bomber Tour Of Duty)
3) Realistic Maps of the MTO (Mediterranean Theater Of Operations (North Africa and Italy) and PTO (Pacific Theater Of Operations Especially New Guinea and the Philippines Islands).
4) Respectful and Helpful Flight Community
I am not into a Community that has alot BS going on in it or people who bash others. I am not into this 4 way war, I only interested in a Axis vs Allies. I don't believe in the Russian fighting USA/British fighting Russia or Japan fighting Germany and so forth. I am not into this Bishop vs Rooks and so forth. I am looking for a straight forward Axis vs Allies. Allies fighting the Axis powers, Japan,Germany and Italy.
I am only here for a two week try out and to see if this Flight Sim is worth spending money on. Like I said I am Honest and straight forward about things and so not to make any one mad, or misunderstand me. If at end of the two weeks and I decide to stay I will be forming the Virtual 47th/312th Bomb Group Light A-20 Low Level Light Attack Bomber group.
Thank You
