Taking off from a field, flying to a nearby furball, finding someone near co-alt , having a clean merge, fighting until you had a winner, giving each other a <S> afterward and starting over again for another round. Had nights like this that lasted hours were my arm literally got tired and I had to take a brake before re-upping.

   People respected each other, some light smack talk occurred, yes I participated in this to, only the occasional not so good sticks would (HO) you, seemed as a general rule most people usually didn't take cheap shots, very little gang banging happened unless you upped into a place were fields were being taken over, thats your choice,..... those days are long gone and I salute all of those (I doubt many left) that are either playing or reading this participated in such antics, you made this game a pure joy for me personally and I always looked forward to playing on the nights I could, I could name names but no need, those who played like the above know who they are and probably quit long ago because such play slowly disappeared over the years. No regrets just wish it could have lasted longer.

How about climbing to 35k in a P47m to hunt buffs and finding an enemy p51b at 50k?   

Did the ki67 get adjusted in my absence from the arena such that it can't go 492mph?

Apparently, a lot of things have changed since you last played, perhaps even the website.  You might have overlooked this nifty feature on this page:



People these days don't want to put in an effort (like searching the website or checking in-game settings) and expect things handed to them.  :rolleyes:

Thanks I have saved the page  :salute

I miss defending the CV group under atack when every gun was manned. The sound of all those 5 inch and 40mm going off and planes constantly flying off.

Speaking of defending the CV group:
My neighbor and I share a garage/shop and we have it wired for internet. He was in there the other (Monday?) night playing AH on the PC  and manning a gun on a BB as I came over and watched. Guns were going off, bombs dropping and torps swimming-quite the calamitous scene, man. Suddenly, off to the left, the CV is struck and starts going down. We could actually see the stern rise straight into the vertical before finally starting to slowly slip under the sea. We were both awestruck by the sight and were furiously looking for a way to take a screenshot. What a nice touch to the game by rendering such a scene. It was actually pretty fun manning guns too. I gave it a whirl last night in fact.

I guess this could have gone into a "things you can do" thread rather than this one I suppose. Oops!

I know the performance pages a lot better than you, shane.     
I also know how they perform way above the top of the chart.
I also know the engine management systems, boost pressures, spark advance curves....etc.

Why do I know these things about airplanes shane has never toucherd?
Because I worked at the Paul Garber restoration facility in the early 1990s.   

What was shane doing in 1989 while I was working on C46s and super connies.

Perfect... typical weebsauce behavior. I posted HTC info - game related, amirite?  And you come at my ankle all swoll up with.. blablala somethng something... totally irrelevant.  :rolleyes:

You'll fit right back into the MA and I'm sure your .rpt mashing finger is all ready to go.  :aok

(You could also download the game and test it offline yourself, you know, to help refresh your muscle memory before you jump back into the big pool.)  :joystick:

Can the ki67 still go 492mph without losing parts?
