Where`s the Challenge?

Is as clear as that rookies and bishcuits only can win us if they gangbang, or they come at "unusual" hours.


  I resent the above remark very much.    I am a ROOK Fighter pilot first and foremost.  Only recently have I taken up the disreputable task of vulching.  
As far as 'taking empty fields" goes... With the FEW people that actually cooperate in AH, that seems the safest thing to do.  And, I have witnessed ALL sides doing it, not just the Rooks and Bishops.  
This is EXACTLY why I dislike the "more than two sides/countries" in any multiplayer game.  Both sides have exactly the same aircraft and vehicles available at ALL TIMES.  
All that makes Aces High into is an ARCADE game.  Good flight model yes.  But same country planes flying against and shooting each other down...?  Rarely, even in history did that ever happen.
AH is an arcade game, with WW2 planes.  It is nothing more than that, period.  

Thank you for the opportunity to whine.

Weazel..

When im om late night i find its the guys who cant fly fighters that are buffin & capturing fields. Allthough a pain in the butt, it what they do best,because they cant fight.

Remember,this isnt the only sim that has guys who cant fly fighters.

Oh come on WD,,,,   be a bit nicer huh?  

You KNOW I'm a horrendously bad fighter Jock.
Though I do tend to NOT buff when I'm on late at night.

Not arcade Tern,

Fantasy. Can't call this sim arcade like, as the planes are difficult to learn. But imo, it's a fantasy arena, and that's been a good thing for over a decade. I clammer for realism too, but realise the need for a quick fight in a plane you love. Even with best intentions, restrictions like the RPS, two sided battles, no icons, etc, reduce the instant fun factor. The challenge is in learning dogfighting skills and working with your wingmen. Bombing, strat, everything else is secondary. Scenarios are the place to practice more in-depth battles imo.

hi again:

would like to point out again that what i beleive weazel to be saying is that when there is no rooks, bishops, knights on line, please pick any one team you perfer. let me see if i can say what i think weazel is saying.

you come on line, there are 10 rooks online, 10 bishops on line, ( i am a knight so i use these as examples) you look at the map and knights have two or three base's left, why you wounder, either rook or bishop has been attacking because nobody there to stop them. not all rook or bishop. both side are fighting each other but some pilots are going for easy capture, the queston is why, what is the challange, or are you hopping that when the knights do start showing up you can brag about how good you are, evrybody knows your a dweeb and dont care what you have to say.

now thats what i think weazel is saying here, not that rooks, bishops, or knights are sneaking into a base well all its defenders are busy else where, if you can sneak into a base that has 50 defenders busy else where and are not watching, great jod on your part.
