What is your online story ?? here is mine :)

[Ltbear]

This forum sometimes end up with alot of negative stuf. To kinda break that im posting my online history and i hope more will follow. We all have a beginning, and from the beginning there is a story all the way up to now. I will tell my bit here.

My online carreer began with CFS1. On a dial up 56K i used a great ammount of money so i could fly with the JG26 who had JG26_Phantom as leader. With them i got some good friends, those i remember is JG26_Phantom. JG26_Goofy. JG26_Hades and JG26_Diggs.

The new game CFS2 came out, and i used more and more time flying that game. There was a server hostet by someone called PACCOM and since they were good sports i used many hours there. Back then the Japanese vs allied pilot ratio was about 2-10. So i normaly flew Japanese and had alot of fun flying as the underdog.

They introduced me to Rogerwilco and for the first time i could talk with those i flew with. PACCOM was a command, and hostet all units both Axis and allied inside. The cool thing was that everyone knew one another and the FFA sessions was more like training sessions for the mission nights. 20-30 people flew around each evening blasting away and then saterday night we flew the campaign mission.

I ended up being recruitet into the PACCOM 6th IJN by a pilot named 6thIJN_Prey4you
They had basic flight training you had to pass before being alowed into the campaign missions. I passed the BFT with flying colours and was ready for my first campaign mission with PACCOM.

Wount use to many words on this, simply to much to tell about, but it was within PACCOM i met my main foe, smudger. Smudger was the highest scoring Allied pilot, and all i was told since i joined the 6thIJN was that i should beware of him.

We met in many many situations, and he is stil the best online pilot i ever have flown with or against. A small thing about him and me was this. If it was known by the others we were in the same area, everyone else would leave and let me and him fight it out, kinda a battle of the best on each side. The respect him and i got was awsome, and looking back at it this was proberbly the most fun time i had flying online, those 2 years in PACCOM with the 6th IJN.

It was with the 6th IJN i met my "wingman" of all times. Akito. Sometimes you fly with one where you dont need to speak, we just knew what the other would do and we ended up being the most feared Japanese wing. It was odd. I loved the zero, he loved the KI-43 but somehow we fell into a teamwork that impressed both us and the rest of the pilots.

In CFS2 our last mission was a slaughter. We shot down 8 Hellcats no losses and then PACCOM ended its days in a cloud of cheats.
Those i remember from those days

After the rumble i got my hands in IL2 sturmovik and dumped CFS2. CFS2 was getting imposible, so many cheaters around, and if you had fairly good stats the cheatban was out to hammer you fast.
IL2 sturmovik brought me back into the German planes. I flew with JG26 for abit, but had a hard time, and ended up flying ofline.

The IL2 sturmovik forgotten battles came out. This game transfered alot from CFS2/3 to the IL2 series. Many of the Old friends with PACCOM came around and a new place called JFC was createt.

I was invitet back with the boys and soon i was roaming Kursk campaign with my old CFS2 wingman Akito. Many hours of great fun i had, and when IL2 pacific fighters came out i was soon back in the zero with my m8 Akito right at my wing. Again around 1½ years of great fun, but with most huge communitys, this one also broke apart.

Since then i have roamed HL under another another TAC. Not flying for any specific unit. I followed the game series getting the expansion packs as the came, only flying private servers here at the end.

So here in January 2011 i look back at 10+ years of roaming the skies. From Western europe to Eastern Europe, right down into the pacific. Many of these years have been dedicatet to mr maddox fine games.

With the next one comming out, i might look at getting back into a squadron, getting back into the training and the online campaigns. I began as a luftwaffle fanatic using my money on the 56K modem. Now im a dad with 3 kids, abit slower even gained a few pounds, but im stil a combat flight simmer with all my heart...
