The noob moments...

Taking up a Mossie first couple of weeks, dieing and uping, dieing and uping. Took me about 2 months to land two kills, then I started to get better from then. Now look at me, 2 years ago I would have dreamed for 3 kills, and now I have landed 20 lol.

I did the same thing, because I thought "man these things carry a lot more ammo, why would anyone wanna fly a plane with only 200 rounds?" 

I did that too.

Especially with the c205.

Why the hell would you want 250rpg when you can have 500rpg?

First day in the TA many years ago, flying my pretty Hog around with my mouse. I'm trying to figure things out as I read the help pages I have all typed up in a 3 ring folder. Suddenly I hear over the radio "Ace under attack". So I figure I have to find Ace and save him. I fly here, I fly there. None of the green icons say "Ace". Finally I type on the green text, where the hell is Ace at? I can't find him anywhere?
Much laffing, hoots, snickers, and of course the obligatory "what a noob". Someone finally PM's me and tells me it's not "Ace under attack" it's "Base under attack". I took a few days off before I went back hoping the guys forgot about it. Nope

LOL!!!!!  




oh man!!  






I did the same thing too

My first flight ever was NOE with floatsup and Stroker1 (now Duhasst). Floats asked me if I knew what noe was. Of course not cause I was already falling behind and showing dar. Then of course he asked me to take out the vh on the low level pass. Of course there targets r down and it was up to me. I flew right over that VH and was sure I would nail it. Nothing happened. Floats or Stroker1 never told me to open my doors. Yet somehow I ended up with (+) for about a year. <S> to all who dawn the (+) insignia.   

[Nemisis]

yeah choker, from what I've seen (+) is pretty good about newbs.

When I first started playing I was completely lost. If it wasn't for a player named HTTP, I would have probably set the joystick down and walked away and saved 10 years of my life lol. I remember the day I realized you could zoom the pizza map in and out... lol
Whatever happened to HTTP?

[Nemisis]

changed his name or gone.

I sense a little bit of self loving in there..

My first encounter with AH was in version 1.04, way back when they had like only 10 fighters to choose from.

Up until then, I was quite confident that I was a pretty good stick according to my exepriences in Fighter Ace1 & 2.
My favorite ride was the Bf109F-4, which was plenty enough to take care all enemies but the frickin' Spit14 a la Fighter Ace.

So I get a free 2 week ticket, install AH, pick the Friederich with a grin on my face...

... roll down the runway skidding, stall out as the plane takes off, wobble around and crash into the tower.

I log off, uninstall AH, and gave up... until I started out again in v1.05.

Fall of 2006:
My first time in this game was online, of course (what newb actually takes the advice of practicing offline first, right?) and since I had just seen a History Channel show on the F6F, I chose to fly that.  I looked around the map, and saw the carriers and thought, "Oh!  An F6F off a carrier!  Perfect!"  Not so perfect.  I finally figure out how to up on the carrier, and an entire salvo of bombs promptly removes me and the carrier from the game.

At the time I had NO idea what happened, and couldn't figure out where the carrier went.  Good news:  There was a second carrier nearby, so I went and quickly died off of that one.

Was anyone else's first kill a HO and was anyone else as excited about it as I was?  Looking back... I'm sure people were probably kicking and screaming on 200 about my HOing... it was really all I did for a while...

The year is 1997 - 1rst takeoff in WB 1.07 (?) . Look at radar - determine where the action is ( a vulched field somewhere ).

I hit the fly-button and there I was, sitting on the runway.
Hmmm 'e' for engine start, Prop start to turn.

A moment later a message from HOST

'Kill of wxyz awarded to save'
(someone flew into a hangar giving me maneuver kill)

The buffer start to fill up with  " wtg save"

"what does wtg mean ?" I replied

The text buffer now starts to fill up with "LOL"

'what does LOL mean ?' ?

Well you get the picture of how a noob in online gaming felt

I remember my noob moment.   I was in the Spit 9 with 5 guys on my 6. I learned to HO; imagine that, me, a noob, HOing. Yeah I know right? lol Anyways there were 5 guys getting ready to HO me. I killed them all!  I got the first 3, then I collided into the 4th and my right wing ripped off.  I flew straight for 500 feet for 2 seconds then my left wing collided with the 5th and he blew up same as the 4th one.  I got 5 kills in the DA on my 1st week! That is my noob moment.  Sadly I then realized I got captured and I thought German boats would come and capture me, oh well.

Punctuation, grammar, and spelling!

Fixed... For the most part...
