So my real life friend just started flying AH again. He's tried for a day here and there but always gets frustrated and quits only to be called back and give it another go (seems to be sticking this time though.
)
Anyway he logged on last night just a few min before the arena change to off hours, arena changes and we are on grinder. He asks what we should do and I take a quick look at the map and see those 2 V-bases real close together, we had 29 and rooks had 42. I say we should see about porking the troops at 42 to make it harder for those evil rooks to take our base.
I up my usual flight of 26's and my bud takes an A-20 saying he wants to practice dive bombing. We fly on down and I line up for my drop and just as I'm getting the filed in my bomb sight I hear BOOM BOOM but don't see any explosions and no plane on the enemy field.. I take a quick look at the map and have to chuckle as I say over squad vox "Hey I think you bombed the wrong base."
This makes everyone on chan laugh and my friend says well I don't have my call sign set as ANOOB for nothing lol.
And to be fair I remember when I was a noob back in AH1. I had just upped an OOBER TBM because you know any plane that can have a 2000lb bomb has to be good lol. I even had another noob gunning for me. I gain altitude and turn toward target, calibrate perfectly the old hard way and drop my bomb hitting exactly what I was aiming for when my gunner says to me. "you know that was OUR base right?" Evidently Bish had just captured it a few min before I got there to bomb and I didn't notice lol.
So <S> all you well intentioned NOOBS out there that make others laugh at your silly well intentioned antics and welcome to the game.
And to all you other vets here please feel free to share one of your favorite noob moments and make all the new guys feel at home.
