I hate this game. I've been hating it since 2001 and it looks like I'll be hating it for another 13 years.
Unless we get the Beaufighter in the next 10 years, I quit! Consider that an ultimatum.

I hate this game because it ruined computer gaming for me. I cannot enjoy another game since I started playing this one. Simply nothing compares.

Damn you HTC!

Where else can I see this?



A typical JG11 alarm start.  Everyone piloted by another drunken friend who wants to fly those irons with me.

I'll prob be around a bit still here.

I bet you didn't shoot Greebo down in a valid 1v1.   He was distracted, I bet.   ;)

Once, in the USMC, we were on a ridiculous all-day hump across the lava fields between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii... so many people fell out... I had to have my ankle reconstructed, another guy broke his effing back from what all we were carrying, countless heat casualties, countless bleeding feet... it was led by our crazy (but absolutely legendary Marine) Battalion Commander.... our company commander (who I'd follow into hell to this day) said that the moment he realized he didn't hear Marines squeaking was the moment he knew things were bad.

This game is still awesome, it's still a hell of a lot of fun, and if people aren't having that they either need to take a break or re-evaluate how they are playing it.

(Also, TrackIR is so effing awesome... anyone that considers themselves a flight sim fan, let alone hardcore, should do themselves a favor and get this.)

Its the one game Ive found where I can call for help, from a crippled bomber being hounded by an enemy, and a total stranger will respond to help. If nobody does Im not disappointed cause I know Im responsible for my own rear end, plus its only a cartoon rear end. But more often then not someone will come help.

Just like they did in the war. Maybe thats what makes the game so Historically accurate. That people will work together to obtain an objective. The great games are like that. No matter what kind of graphics engines they are using.

You need players willing to "work together to obtain an objective".  This is a dieing art in aces high, and most of the current whines are spewed from people who could care less about "work together to obtain an objective".  Not sure why they dont just play in offline mode, I guess its the thrill of killing a human.
