I have a lot of screenshots that I would love to send in, however, most of them were also sent into the HTC screenshot thing they started. My question would be can I send the same screenshots I sent to HTC to you as well?

You might want to include any AH video by Niros - the unofficial promo he produced is fantastic.

Oboe the film you posted was very good.  Unfortunately it was P51 vs P51 and P47 way to much.

Would have been better if it was allied vs. axis only.  Using shows what is available surely

but a P51 vs 109, 110 etc. only would have made a bigger impression.

Agreed.


Majority of the player base flies all the main arenas and spend the most time there,  while the historical AvA arena and other special events make up the minority of time spent by players.
To fly or not to fly, that is the question

LePape's videos are also just superb.  I love to watch them.

I wonder about some of those P-47 moves though, tailslides or whatever you call them - they look more like the Viper moves from BSG than what I would expect from an 8-ton WWII fighter.   Obviously they are possible for a real master to pull off in-game, but seeing this might make people wonder about the fidelity of the AH flight model (whether or not the move was possible in a real-life Jug).   

On the other hand, maybe people would say, "Wow, I didn't know they could do that!" and want to give the game a try.   Who knows!
