No ... we don't think so ...


We belong here ... you do not ...


We have played Uncommon Valor for years .. then we have played WITP for years ... have you?

While we have played these games for years .. we have posted in these Matrix forums.

You (all) might have also posted in these forums .. but you have not played the games .. hence you are not really FROM HERE.

We are.

You can attack us. But you are not from here. You are from there. You attack from afar. We defend from here.

We have been here longer than you. And we are from here. You are from elsewhere.



It's too darn crowded over there at the moment!

Why Matrix hasn't banned these goobers is beyond me.

Something to consider on multi-purpose fighters: that rather puts the Axis at a disadvantage as they had little opportunity to exploit any such capabilities there might have been due to the demands of the war.
Actually I have to agree. I thought this sort of behavior was a banning offense.

So, in an unscientific, inaccurate summary [;)] of the results to date we have:
1. Bf 109
2. Joe Louis
3. Spitfre
4. F4U
5. P-47

[:)] I think Matrix has been busy preparing for tomorrow's (maybe) announcement to notice. Either that , or they have a "children , settle it amongst yourselves approach". I'd really ahte to think that they find it acceptable. [:(]

Apparantly Max jumped out of a perfectly good aeroplane, which would seem to indicate some type of major deficiency on his part.

Maybe not. That drop was made very low and slow against much heavier resistance than expected---and an awful lot of Ju-52's "bit the big one" in the process. Do we know if Max's made it home safe?

Max's airplane lived until it was 99? I was refering to the condition of the Ju-52 that took him to Crete. Quite a number of them did not qualify for the term "perfectly good airplane" after that mission, with more than a few obtaining "burning pile of wreckage" status.
