Actually I did try to respond, however the forum doesn't work terribly well on a mac. Great to see everyone though!
I may try to play in the Spring. Loved the game and loved the people.
As for the oil, I was a turnfighter for the most part who liked fighting in the fray (when there was a fray). Trying to fight in a furball and then getting hit by a bnz to make it so you couldn't see did make it so the game was less fun. Less response to controls was fine...not being able to see and keep fighting was a deal breaker. I do wish they hadn't put that in.
loony he has been gone for years just like Us Ol AW players that flew every version of AH they return,,,,,, also if ya noticed he has responed to his own thread lately either...
