Tuskeegee Airman buried at Arlington, VA I saw this and thought the other air combat buffs would be interested: http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/02/12/tuskegee.airman.funeral/index.html There's a great movie about the Tuskeegee Airmen. I think it's a fascinating point in history for obvious reasons. Regarding SOG, I would LOVE to see some planes with the Tuskeegee markings. I'd buy that.
Welcome to the virtual sky warriors community! I prefer TP or FFA depends on moods. if I want a game with the sense of mission, I go for TP. if I just want to destroy planes pilot by human players, I go for FFA. most of the time now I go for TP.
Lot of names I recognise in here, and very good players! Found the forum on account of sherns brief name change, It's great flying with you SAB guys, seeing one of your names in a room is usually enough to make me stay for a tough challenge! Had a couple of great battles with shern in particular recently, and enjoyed schooling a rocketer in a TP the other day with lightSABer. Good times, and you all seem to like good sportsmanship
great to finally make contact with another player through"advertising". anyway hello nelge, i am the founder of SAB(Sgarrista Air Brigade). and on behalf of all pilots. welcome! it would be great to have you nelge, you up for it? EDIT: in game i am [SAB]oteur
Lol! Welcome Nelge! So the advertisement campaign actually worked! I think I will change to Touch Arcade again and have another day of advertisement. Everyone is talking about u here, saying how good you are and with sportmanship attitude. We have discussion in the social group called SAB as Hobo has introduced. That's where we talk behind your back since u can't see what else we talk about u unless u join. Haha. Still it's thrilling that u finally found us here! By any chance are u a Japanese??
If nelge found us, then 2ch will soon find us. keep it up shern. i'll do my part with "room messages"
Hey dude, good to see you here... I enjoyed the d.f. with you, you are a few strips better than me... Feel really good when I get you... When I see you in a game I will not target you... Will do a h2h flyby and not fire if I do not want to engage you. If you frag me a couple of times, the fight will begin.
Nelge, You seems to only use spitfire. Is this your only purchased plane or is simply because spitfire is your favorite WW2 plane? I used to be in Spitfire and it's this plane that I use all the way to reach top3 (had a taste of no1 position before GN overtake me). Then I switched to zero and then the white hiens and now I'm into Corsair. Have u met Keebler in battle? He used to be in spitfire too until I highly recommend him to buy the Corsair. And now he has always been in Corsair. Boola is also another spitfire ace, and his name here is called FAST3GS. His spitfire is actually called seafire which is a carrier based spitfire. Another spitfire ace is al queada. He have not found this site yet. But I wonder what will be the implication if he found us here. Will he start some recruitment drive here?
Hi, NeLge, glad you found this place. I've enjoyed our encounters in the Skies. Welcome, Hazard and Wofram. I don't know for sure whether we've met in the Skies, but glad to have you here.
Same here - he's good, but the name makes him an easy target. I once flew for several days with only a smiley face as my name...EVERYone targeted me then
haha, nice response! glad you all like flying with me as much as I do with you. Sorry to disappoint as you want the 2ch lot to find you but I'm from England. (hence my stubborn stance on sticking with spitfire despite being out-turned by zeros and corsair) I usually try to steer clear of 1 on 1 dogfights with them when it's a skilled player as it doesn't end ideally for me! Shern has demonstrated this a couple of times recently... Not battled keebler too much, although can tell he's very good, had a great 1st to 10 battle the other day when we were tied at 9-9 and i was tracking his flaming corsair, then he made the final kill on whoever was in front, I quite enjoy those short skirmishes though rarely am lucky enough to find someone that good starting at the same time. The SAB invite is very much appreciated as I know I'll be in good company! I'm a bit torn though as I like battling you guys so much, but then I also like the idea of people gunning for me due to the 'SAB' tag... Great observation about Al queada by the way, love destroying him too, especially when he accelerates towards the ground!
Our Rules of Engagement in SAB states, that you may choose to remove the SAB tag whenever you like when you wish to shoot indiscriminately. so you can still fight us that way
I guess we've all noticed that he'd rather suicide than be killed. I, too, love trying to nail him before he hits the ground! It must frustrate him, which gives me great feelings of glee . As for the tactic in general, I would rather just get killed eventually than suicide; either way, I think, it counts as a death, and I'd rather go out fighting. But I do sometimes get frustrated as I fly around dragging a great plume of smoke and flames behind me, down to my weak guns and unable to maneuver. It's my hope, of course, to get tapped just enough so that I can bail out successfully, but sometimes it takes forever for someone to help me out! So I can see why someone might just want to end it all by slamming into the ground. It may simply be that the fellow wants to get back into the fast action as quickly as possible, for that's much more fun. Still... I love helping him get back to the action by downstroying him just meters above the ground! Who0T!
Nelge, FAST and Capt Fear are also from England. I think there's another person also from UK but my memory is not catching up well. Being an ex British colony my real favorite is also spitfire. Seeing u fight makes me itch to go back to use spitfire but I had few recent TP battles against the 2ch team which are all hiens. Those battles are tough, really tough and I'm using Corsair. I am always the only SAB with other unknown players against 2ch members like GN-0000, Cometti and Soba. My latest ones involve all 3 of them on my opposite side.
The possibilities of matched games will be endless if 2ch can contact us. I think all will have to follow Asian timing since they are from Japan. Anyway, imagine they want a match with us, 2ch vs Touch Arcade. They will send their top players: GN, Cometti, Soba, V. And we send our top players. Knowing Japan, I believe there will even be media coverage in Japan channel. And they will probably be interviews with the Japanese players in the Japan TV program.... TV Host (speaking in Japanese): So GN, have u fought with the player in 2nd position before? He's called Shern right? What do u think of him? GN(also in Japanese): Hike, I played with him before. A lousy player. I trashed him easy. I'm too good for him.... And I won't be able to know they are talking about me as I don't understand Japan, and so can't argue back my defense. Dang!
Yeah take it from me, that once you get to know Keebler it tastes oh so much more sweeter whenever you manage to shoot him down than it did before you got to know him! Wolfram, that was a great game last night with you and Hazard! I wasn't sure if I would be able to close the gap on you two guys! I had alot of fun playing against you guys!!
