Maybe you reach more victorys then "Erich Hartmann" who is the highest-scoring fighter ace in the history of aerial warfare. With a score of 352 air victorys.

Well that would be fine, yeah, but I'm afraid my shooting skills aren't Hartmann class. In the longest campaign yet, Finnish pilot 1941 - 1944 I managed to shoot something like 80 planes and that's it. Fun anyways!

Who says Hartmann had shooting skills?

If anyone wants the latest Ultrapack3.0 RC4 on disk instead of some 6 Gb download I have it on a couple of DVDs.

Getting close is the ticket to downed enemy planes... Goddamn, now I missed my landing and crashed Damn. This is not starting too well. I need to start paying attention to flying and not yapping about here in the forums

How can you do both in the first place?
2nd if you missed your landing turned around and retry.

He had good tactics Didn't waste ammo and get a clear hit on the other plane. He just had to worry about debris from the exploding plane.

I have two computers running side by side. An old laptop with XP and a newer one with 32-bit Windows 7. The old one was so useless by the time I bought the new one that there was no point in trying to sell it. It's kind of nice to have one open with the forum and a notebook for making notes while playing SH3, and the other computer for the game.

Have a old laptop too, but I can't get internet to work on it.
