Thats why you fly with a big squad.  :aok

Everyone does the alt monkey stuff.  Ive seen rooks way above me when im at 12k.  Id fly to say a bish base and see bish over their base at 20k like I saw last night and bish flew off their cv right off shore and still had to go 10k to enter that fight.  Knights arent innocent either as I saw them last night 16k in dweebfires 16 mostly and upping from a cv as well going to really high alt.  

Every country has people go to high alts thinking they will be safe but when they dive down always that good chance of becoming what I love watching, a lawn dart. :t

And this matters because?


Maybe because he said he was new and wanted to know.  And because he was curious about the game and was looking for some friendly input from the AH community.

RandomGuy, I fly for LTAR, where they go, I go.  We few with the Knights for quite a long time.  There are some really great people with the Knights.  Here a while back, we decided to do some time with the other two sides.  We went to the Bishops first because they were, for the longest time, out numbered.  When we got there, the Bishops gave us a warm welcome and in general made us feel very welcome.  They also were willing to lend a hand when asked which is something that was getting to be rare where we were.  We stayed two weeks with the Bishops an then went to the Rooks.  The feeling there was quite different.  The Rooks have some great people and some really great squads.  We are currently fighting with the Bishops and have been for some time.  You can always find a large fight along either front.

As stated above there are pros and cons to each side.  You will have the good sticks, the good GVers, and unfortunately the loud mouth know-it-alls who give their side a bad name.  But in general you will find each side worth visiting.  Hopefully you will find a good squad that will help you along and not prejudice you against any side.

Salute and I hope you enjoy your Aces High adventure as much as I have.

Remember to kiss your wife good by before logging on.  :D

bwahahaha Knights all the way and lets see you Rook Alt monkeys catch me escorting Genrl at 30K tehehehe. O ya I noticed it is a lot easier to force bish into turnfights/kill.But I usually fight the Rooks to counter there alt monkeyness and usually because they give the most challenge in general. But dang nickel5 is the bish you want to watch out for man he is an awesome stick (dang he use to be a knight) he pwns with his mossie o doom and that Chog. Best I have done is make him smoke when it was him in a 38 and me in a Hurr1.

You'll notice this while fighting Bish as well...They're really, really, really great at .......QUITTING. Rather than tenaciously fight for something they'll quit en masse and go milkrun some far-flung corner of the map with no enemy, except on the small maps, where they have no choice but to fight...I LOVE small maps!!! :aok

The thing about alt monkeys is very few know exactly how to use altitude to maximum advantage. When I see someone high my first thought is to 'suck-drag' them lower. Most, I'd say 90%, of people who obsessively alt are so over-confident in whatever advantage it gives them that they will over-commit with little persuasion and allow you to suck their E out of them for you or friend waiting below with knife and fork in hand.

I fly Rooks because the vast majority of people I flew with in AWFR as Bz are Rooks in AH. We know each other, we like each other, we've flown as teammates for up to 15 years together. We all know what each other are good at and capable of and play well as a team together in combat. That's pretty much what kept AWFR fun and keeps AH fun...Rooks is kind of like one HUGE, GIGANTIC squadron for us old timers, the success of RJO back-in the day is a tribute to this phenomena.

Been Bish from the time I started ( 7-11-03 ) and have never changed. became a BOP and have never wanted to change.    Bish have some problems but I would guess all 3 countries do.
From the ashes of the old we rise to fly again. Behold The Phoenix Wing!

I have played for extended periods on each of the three sides at various points since I started.

Rooks, Kights, and Bish each have their share of the following (in no particular order): alt-potatos, dweebs, hoarde-monkeys, HO-tards, good sticks, newbies, luftwhiners, runstangs, roach drivers, flakpotatos, napoleans, exhibitionistic autofelatio practitioners, witty people, half-wits, niki dweebs, spitpotatos, crack monkeys, buff dweebs, score potatos, strat-geeks, nice guys, jerks, helpful people, alt-f4 lemmings, al gore rehash jokers, festabria bobbers, bearded clams, numbers geeks, suicide porkers, whiners, nazis, liberals, conservatives, jap-laggers, warpers, kill stealers, vulchers, twits, furballers, freeballers, sissy mary runners, wash-rinse-repeat "ACM" guys, cherry pickers, BnZ girls, stick-stirrers, el gay seven drivers, humble guys, pile-its, drunks, quiet guys, pubescent quakers, amish technophiles, dorks, jug tards, hellcrap dweebs, run-oh-nines, run-nineties, backwards firing typhoons, f-pork-u's, pee-fifty-runs, hunstangs, goon drivers, goon augerers, gv guys, l337 d00d's, campers, chute shooters, chute shooter whiners, Hartmann wannabees, Gabreski/Johnson wannabees, Rick James wannabees, Drex wannabees, Bong wannabees, bong smokers, "cheaters," cheaters, cable modem cable pullers, engine togglers, carbombers, milk-runners, insane-guys-who-jump-into-the-middle-of-fights-in-a-Ju 87 or 88-and-actually-shoot-everyone-down, beefdarts, lawndarts, Texans, inbreds, you're-a-peein's, Californicators, Kalifornians, Mavericks, Icemans, Sliders, overly sensitive '80s men, etc.

Sooner or later, you will fall into one of the above groups. The secret is to not really care if you are in one or even which group you are in.
