ruh roh. The famous redant. Used to kick my arse royally in WB.

Go beyond those types redant. Back when we were paying $200.00 plus a month to do this, we didn't fork that kinda money over to trash talk. Things have changed. If it's not present in WB now, it will.

Can't even use the argument, "using daddy's credit card"? anymore, lol.

Welcome to AH redant.

BTW, bet ya can't whoop me as easy now.

Eheeheh welcome aboard RedAnt. 8)

This game kicks ass. Even lazs is fun in this game. 8)

Those Yaks are a ton of fun. Remember 'Night of the Big bellybutton Cannon' in WB? Same deal with the 37mm armed Yak. 8)

The only reason the guy got pissed at you was because he was embarrased. Getting low and slow witha Yak? 8)

See you up there,

Yeah, I remember my second sortie in WB (feb 99). (The first one I got a maneuver kill on Cabby) I was somehow in a hawg, separated and behind enemy lines. On the deck and speeding home, I pass about 7 miles south of an enemy base. That's when I see this P39 coming my way.

So to answer one of your questions redant, no, that's not how newbies are treated in AH. Newbies are shot down without mercy).

As far as Yak-9s being uber -- I haven't heard anyone claim that. You must have done a damn good job of selling that bird.

I've never been accused of flying an ueber plane, but such accusations are related to actually killing people with them.
If you get shot down all the time, you generally won't get so much negativity.

I did hear someone shouting on ch1 today claiming yak9 uber..

The flight characteristics are quite uber, spitlevel, but the very limited ammo load effectively stops nonskilled players of using it properly. You have to go in close if you want to make a multiple kill sortie in a yak. If it had 3-4x ammo and newbies could turn it and spray'n pray.. It would be quite uber IMO.

Someone in an F6F-5 had position and e on a Yak-9 and lost? I don't believe it.

Yaks are far from "spit-like" with their handling capabilities. They roll well and turn with the F4u. Their main advantage is their WEP-less speed abilities. Er.. not "their".. but they Yak-9u's speed. You can hang with a P-51 at sea level and wait for his WEP to run out.. then you have an edge in virtually every other category.

Spits are tough because the Yak can't really outmaneuver them... but a Yak with E can take snapshots from here to eternity (eternity being until his ammo runs out).

The Yak is a great ride... uber its not. Not even close. It takes more discipline than most in the arena even come close to exibiting.

BTW... you'll find there are a handfull of people that will feel the need to fire up ch. 1 every time they are killed. "Nice ram" or "Nice HO" or "You were in a much better plane than I" excuses will be their battlecry from their chute. I actually find it quite funny.

The best thing for this game would be a 2 minute cool down period. After you die you have 120 seconds where in you are not able to transmit on channel 1. The amount of whining would be cut in half.

ANT don't sweat it, planewhining is an art form over here.

Redant !

I remember you from my Warbirds days. Welcome to AH.
There are jerks in every hobby, like people before me have said kill em, and squelch em.
Also give the CT arena a try, especially this week, it's VVS vs LW.
Right up your alley.
By the way guys Redant makes any Russian bird seem uber if you fight against him.

Heheheh!

Hiya Anton! So far i have been called a dweeb only once here, but....that "public" channel is full of that kind of messages, so better not to read it at all. I have had good time here and beeing a newbie again is kinda fun :-)
I am trying to give this game a fair chance and so far this makes me to remember wb1.10-1.11 times........lot of deaths and few kills :-))
FM is really different here and so is gunnery, but nothing you cannot learn in 4 weeks:-)) (you noticed 4 weeks instead normal 2 weeks)
