Remember when it was cool to fight
« on: April 24, 2013, 06:13:15 PM »
Remember when, back before AW players arrived and the senseless hordes that grew from that later on..  Is it not cool anymore to fly out on your own looking for good 1v1 fights and not in some late war easy ride?

Seriously starting to wonder if it's even worth $15 a month anymore.

You need to fly lower, with older and slower planes  :aok

Some people can't get a kill unless it's parked on a runway or is already busy with 10 other people. How will they afford 262s to run into mountains if they have to actually earn them?!

12 years and it's just now changed?

Dammit.   Why am I always late to the party?

Speaking of it being cool to fight. JG5 will be in the WW1 arena Friday night and would enjoy some company. (It's hard to pick in a Camel.)  :salute

all airplanes here are easy rides.  just some people think they only fly the "harder" ones while everybody else flies the "easy" rides.

Pay 15$ for a month of some other game and see if it full fills your requirements.



Most aces after wwI who flew solo in wwII were called exactly that...aces, they didn't cry about hordes or being out numbered, they flew into hell and back. If you cannot or have become unwilling to do the same without SOME form of cover from allies or at the very least a single wing man, then i don't know WHAT your $15 a month is worth to myself or the people on my team. And if you haven't sent yourself and every single AC available in aces high to hell and back that has at least one forward firing gun........then what is your $15 a month worth.


Nothing sadder then a lone wolf howling at no moon.

With all due respect Gixer.  :salute :rock

Please don't compare bravery of real life combat actions to a cartoon game. AH is no braver than chasing down ghosts in Pacman.   :lol

waaaaaa..

Gixer you whine even when you get 1v1s...

only you can answer if it's worth $15 whole freaking dollars/month.. but IMO after reading this and your 200 whines, its not worth it to you.. take a break and come back later.

If you want a 1v1 you can ask someone. I have done this a few times and I feel it's a great learning experience.

If you don't want to ask for a 1v1, then you could grab DT, go out to a base that has no horde (and is far away from the horde) and loiter inside their radar (don't drop the dar). Once you have an upper, drage them away from their ack so that they can't run to it. Wait for them to climb co-alt, then turn in. Don't ho on the first pass, if they try to then just climb above them or deflect. These are hard to set up since you usually get more than one upper.

Speaking of 1v1, JUGgler would you be interested in said 1v1?

It's been a couple of years since i played this game
I find some maps better than others, some players more willing than others.

What hasn't changed in 2 years---everything including players complaining about this or that

What has changed, more quality sticks
I suck more than I used to---maybe that hasn't changed
I wish I hadn't of quit because no matter how bad it seems this is the best we have and is worth all of the 15 bucks
