I've actually been having a fair amount of fun in Ah2 since it was released.  I've given GV's another chance, and posted about the one thing that I've found irritating since all the way back when I first started playing around with the GVs.  I'll call Pyro next weekend and see what happens with it, all I've ever wanted to hear was their side of that particular issue.  

I've had a few decent fights in the MA, if early war P-40/F4F vs A6M or 109E vs Spit I comes back around in the CT you'll see me in there like last time.  I don't go in there for "immersion", and I doubt most others do to be honest.  I go in because I enjoy taking a P-40/F4F and fighting zeros, and I enjoy both sides of the Spit I vs 109E fight.

Most of what you post is crap, pure and simple, Arlo.  I've never quite figured out exactly what you have against the folks who flew with JV44 & 3/JG2, but you could probably stand to lose the chip on your shoulder.  I don't feel real strongly one way or the other about you, find it curious why you seem to find any post of mine, wotan's, or brady's to be like a red flag to a bull.


Back off from the crack pipe, youngun and get over the persecution complex. This ain't got nuthin to do with whatever luftiewobble squad you think I'm pickin' on. It sure as hell doesn't have anything to do with Brady. I just flat called it as it is. You and Wotan love to whine and complain about all sorts of things. You certainly dont portray yourselves as anyone who's remotely enjoying the game as much as you claim you do.

There's two whole planeset matchups you like in the CT? Weeeell good for you. You'll still b*i*tch about it the entire time you play it because everyone else is .. this or that or whatever.

Hey .... the CT didn't end up your personal sandbox catering to your wants and desires. That means you either learn to be a lil more flexible and open-minded or you can just keep complaining that the CT didn't end up "the way it was supposed to be."

If you take this all personal-like and don't like the message ... well hell - THAT'S a surprise. But that's just the way it is. I'd love to show you how to get over it and get on with it but it would probably take up too much of my fun time. :D :aok

Don't worry about the other guy. Make your own fun. He is. ;)

I used to enjoy the CT, with historical matchups instead of P51/LA7/Spit9... :rolleyes:

But the last couple of times I was in there, the MA mentality had taken hold: Vulch, gangbang, steamroller/horde...

Well I'm sure if any one player in Aces High could dictate to other players their particular rules of decorum there would still be something someone would find horribly distasteful about it.

I pretty much find the unrealistic futility of such amusing.

There are realistic ways to deal with vulches, gangbangs, steamrolling .... whatever. But they don't involve asking the other player to stop. ;)

I think you mistake disgust at all the sad pathetic sacks of **** playing the game for distaste for the game itself.  

You may very well be one who sees 5 planes after a con and dives in to "help".  If that is the case, well, you get your kicks the way you know how.  But don't expect me to have any respect for you, or anyone else, that does it.  If you think that means I'm "unhappy with the game" because "people won't play the way I want them to", you are mistaken.  Like you claim to, I simply call it as I see it.

Then there is no way you will ever have respect from someone else.

As for Gameplay well it's going thru some growing pains right now.
IMHO I think it is HTC intention to promote more teamwork IE dont just pork the base take a mission and capture it with bombers to bomb, fighters for support and anti fighter stuff, jabbo's for the sugical strikes like the VH and goons to capture. AND Gv's to kill the GV's that got up.
i think it's just going to take a little bit till the dusts settles and folks get used to the new things and start working together more. I have found that when several players work together you get good fights, can capture bases and get a more emersed sensation in the game..
It's still got some bugs true but they are being ironed out every day.

I think the best thing to do is try it out and if you find a problem don't become part of the problem try and be part of the solution.

BTW I love playing AH2

I got a question.....how come the people getting jumped 5 to 1 don't have any wingmen? I mean if I went out alone, I'd expect to get jumped by others who went out as a squad, isn't that wat happened in the war, regardless of what year it was and which planes they were flyin?




Just a thought.
I used to be a fatalist,
but that part of me died.

Hey .... don't get all sensitive because I once again said you complain too much about the silliest things. I don't tease you about often enough for it to rub off that much skin. Unless you're a really slow healer. :D

Would you feel better if I told you I don't really expect you to change and I don't hate you for it? I'd just like to innoculate the community against this from time to time to keep it from catching.

Your call don't neccesarily make it the right one. I got my call too. :aok

Hitech, Urchin. Could it be that there is some missunderstanding between both of you.

I like to add I don't jumping on a con who is already chased by 5 of friendlies already.

Urch,
I'd have respect for you for not having respect for those that dive in to help the other 5 trying to kill the 1...........if that is what you meant.............:cool:
I'd never saw what one could accomplish doing that except for trying to score a kill, steal a kill, rob a kill, point whoring...shows no respect for/to the 1st 1 or 2 planes that actually engaged the opponent to start with...IMHO....YMMV

"When one considers just what they should say to a new pilot who is logging in Aces High, the mind becomes confused in the complex maze of info it is necessary for the new player to know. All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC
