I play for the comradery of the squad and others I enjoy flying with and against.  Also for the occasional good fight I run across. That's it.

I always loved all things aviation, and especially the 'Golden Age' of propellers, i.e....WW2.  Also, always preferred good simulators to arcade stuff.

This game, warts and all, is the single best dollar-for-hour entertainment value you can  find anywhere.  The best PC games cost what, 50 bucks?, and a good one gives you 20-30 hours of gameplay.  AH gives you endless hours for a flat rate.  Excellent.

I also play so's I can pretend that any day now, my true talent will appear, and I will know myself for one of the greatest combat pilots who ever lived.  Really...I'm sure I am.   My current state of suckage is all a ploy while my latent skill develops.  I'm a monster in a buff, and you're dead in tanktown if I'm near...but a fighter makes me look really bad.

Seriously....great value, a vendor dedicated to improving the product and the experience, a fully engaged player community, dynamic gameplay and (usually) great comraderie.

As for the commentary offered to tater....I really don't see how you can 'disrespect' a WW2 pilot in this game.  I know two myself, and they simply don't see what we're talking about.  When we take their squad names, they expect us to behave with dignity.  Dignity has nothing to do with altitude.  When tater or 999 fly lancastukas at 1000 ft, it may be annoying (at least when messing with tanktown) and out of place, but disrespectful?  Puh-lease...gimme a break.  That's a real stretch.  Besides, as far as I can tell these guys are pretty OK, and don't mean any harm.

Let 'em call you toolshedder...when did furballers win the moral high-ground anyway?  Laser 50's...what, did we write the code?  Did we tell the schmoe to attack dead-six?  The Big 'C' ?...totally off the hook without screenies/films/proof.

Play your game, play it with respect for the other guy's game and move along.

Once again...(/reverb on) I have spoken (/reverb off).   ;)

that's bettter. English.

I am not serious when I say I play this game to show my respect to WW2 airmen. That may play a small part in it some way, some how... Maybe.

You really need to learn how to take a joke and stop taking everything so seriously. When someone says something to you that you dont like, especially in a game, taking it to heart is the biggest mistake you can make. Sorta like saying, bombers dont belong in the game. Hello, yah they do. And that is meant as a joke.

Why do I play... Well, its simple. I love WW2 A/C. All of them, not just one or two. I think they're all amazing, especially when you get to see one up close, flying. The sound, the smell, the feeling of the exahust pulsing against your chest when you're standing next to one.... No other feeling like it.

I also fly because I enjoy the people in the game. I've made some great friends, and was even offered a job and an oportunity to get to play with and work on these birds we get to fly everyday in the game. I enjoy the friendly banter and ball breaking just as much as I enjoy flying and joking with my squad or whoever. In my opinion, and many others I'm sure, AH has the best player base out there.

If you think Ch200 is insulting, you havent heard and seen what's said on our squad channel on a nightly basis. If you didnt know us, you would think we genuinly, honest to god hate eachother with a passion.

I play because I love military history and WW2 combat aviation in particular. I love reading about those that fought in air combat and I love recreating that 'feel' for myself as best I can within a game.

'play?'

This is not 'play' .. it's Life and Death out there man!

-grin-

Truly .. what sucked me into online air combat was being surrounded by that generation as I grew up. I wanted to know *why* the Mustang was regarded as the 'Cadillac' ..and how the spit defeated the 109 in the BoB ...and the mechanics of bomber formation intercepts, escort, ..
..the books I read as a kid never did actually get into explaining the details of *how* a Mustang actually managed to fly all the way to Berlin and *then* shoot down a 109 ..when you see them side by side on the ground the 109 looks far more lethal, nimble, and outright dangerous than a Mustang (IMHO)

Now I return to AH cause I am finally burnt out on 'raid' guilds in EQ and EQ2 .. sheesh .. its like bein in the Warthogs all over again with some wannabe 'Col' ..BEEN there done THAT :)

EQ2 I now play when my wife can play .. we duo and have a bit of fun destroyin stuff.
Look forward to spendin a lot more time in AH tho while she is at work.
