I have been playing Aces High II online a lot, I am no fighter pilot, but one "ell" of a srike pilot. I fly twin engine A-20's, B-25's, and B-26's low and fast, sometime dodging the windmills on the screen and less than 100ft. I then climb steep, release bombs in a softball arc, roll out and back on the deck and gone. Other players call me "bomber guy" because I am real good at what I do, and hit the target more times than not. It is fun as a fighter will dive down on me, get target fixation and slam into the ground as he can not pull up fast enough after his firing run on me. I usually side slip out of his line of fire, and he can not comp fast enough. And when another player mans one of my defensive gun positions the more fighters slam into the ground being distracted more by the return fire. Occasionally I will fly a A-20 or B-25 "gunbus" with a hard nose and multiple .50cal mgs, and strafe the target with a few high speed passes. The B-25H has a 75mm gun that fires single shots, great on strafing runs (a real version actually flew in the Pacific with a 75mm gun)
I enjoy this more than Combat Arms for there is no hacking, and I do like to "fly". I just sit home and do on-line classes, babysit grandson, and play on-line games----getting boring. -------------

Have a CMP M1 Garand, was fun cleaning it (cosmoline) and refinishing stock. Shoots great and accurate. Even have a full sized WW2 bayonet for it.
I am working on a Arisaka 38 6.5mm I found at a pawn shop with the Imperial markings still present. Someone "sporterized" the stock. I have a stock inbound but the metalwork is harder to find. -------------

| Why wasn't this just put in the last 6 threads about you pretending to fly? |

Because I just wanted to aggrivate you choopie911, since you seem to be taking the role of Tippmann Forum Thought Police. -------------

Soon I'll be able to take people out that even think about posting threads I dont like.
Also, while we're on topic, I assume you have a somewhat legit setup (joystick etc) for all this flying? |

Joystick, and a Yoke and rudder pedals, depends on my mood. Fighter's/fighterbombers joystick. Bombers and P-38, yoke and pedals.
Headset with mic if you want real time voice communication. http://www2.hitechcreations.com/frindex.html - http://www2.hitechcreations.com/frindex.html -------------

| Yeah, I figured. Flying with keyboard and mouse sucks. However, I AM really tempted to bust out some Battlefield 2 soon, do some arcade flying. |

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne Got to get up for the coming attack. Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste Gathering speed as we head down the runway Gotta get airborne before it's too late. Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live. Aces high. Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers Let off a sharp burst and then turn away Roll over, spin round and come in behind them Move to their blindsides and firing again. Bandits at 8 O'clock move in behind us Ten ME-109's out of the sun Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them Heading straight for them I press down my guns Rolling, turning, diving Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high. -------------  irc.esper.net #paintball |

High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue, I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew - And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untresspassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God. Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee No 412 squadron, RCAF Killed 11 December 1941 -------------

The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner From my mother's sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose. Randall Jarrell, 1945 -------------

Do it if you dare
Leaping from the sky Hurling thru the air Exhilarating high See the earth below Soon to make a crater Blue sky, black death Im off to meet my maker Energy of the gods, adrenalin surge Wont stop til I hit the ground, Im on my way for sure Up here in the air, this will never hurt Im on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt |
