Paxil, You swallowed the hook!  

Me too. You pretty much said it for me. I love the realism that is possible with these flight models and the great sounds that are available. I love reading a historical book that focuses on one of these beloved birds and then flying it in AH.  Very cool sim, and a vibrant international community.

Was tailgunning in a b26 last night.  We ran a mission over the front lines, but it was pretty much a milk run: one field capture, two dars disabled.  As we are RTB, the pilot spots two dots low heading towards the front-line Vfield.  A typhoon and C47 combo.  He lines up the C47 and the typhoon comes around back.
The tiffie closes; the combination of turbulence from low-level flying, wake turbulence from the c47 and the jerking about as the pilot saddles up the C47 makes aiming pretty much impossible: I just spray in the general direction and get some hits.  The tiffie returns fire -- smoke is streaming past my right: he hit the port engine.  Now the typhoon is maybe 100 yards behind me.  I can see the pilot's eyes.  I keep hosing away.  Suddenly, the whole plane is rocked by a huge explosion: we fly right through the fireball and resulting cloud of parts from the exploding C47 (this looks really cool from the tail gunner.  I then see immediately following the C47 flames and wreckage, tumbling end over end towards the typhoon, the rear section of a B26's fuselage.  It's a short fall earthwards.

What I love the most in this game is :
TEAM CO-OP!

Nothing feels better than having your squad mates formed up with ya and then going against enemy formations..Lots of 6 calls and hooray yells in the RW channel!

It feels so good to be part of ACTIVE and Working SQD.

Of course I like other things in this game or otherwise I wouldn`t play this but that is the best thing..

Why do I like Aces High?  I'll tell you why, the pay is great (ok there is no pay, nevermind) I get to make my own hours, and i get to play with explosives.  Hows that

Jeez, you guys are all a bunch of nerdy plane buff misfits!

I feel right at home, actually.  

I think the greatest thing about AH is the feeling of flight. Sure, no computer game ever came close to flying for real, but AH is the closest so far. I just love having to keep straight on takeoff, struggling to get a heavy buff climbing, landings with half your parts shot off and how things just _work_ pretty much like in real life.

The sounds are great too, though a large part of that is fscotts efforts, the original sounds aren't all that great. The flight model is the best in the business, though, and that's what keeps me coming back.

I'm pretty new to this sim, but I'm hooked for good. I like everything about it, graphics and sounds are stunning. I'm using an Aura cushion, and it multiplies the effect. The immersion factor is incredible.

The best thing for me though, is the team work and strategy involved in scenario flying.

I like the ability to fly any countries plane against any others.   Just like the real pilots who mock fought against their own and their allies planes, we can see how all these AC would do against each other.   AH is not locked into the resrtictive and boring "allied vs axis" thing.   Right now the planeset offers a lot of choice while also offering parity.

killing the plane, then the chute, then letting a couple'a rounds loose on the enemy sheep on the way home - why don't they explode too?

New updates every few weeks.

HiTech, Pyro, Superfly, Natedog, all those guys.  They've got the talent.

I also like tanks.
