The best thing it ever taught me was to analyze the situation and determine the best course of action, in 3 seconds...


I had often gotten myself into cluster**** dogfights where I'm up against 2-5 enemies.  The best course of action wouldn't necessarily be following one target, or to get into a position to kill that one target.

Aces High lets me know that I'm one of the best pilots in the country, and that I could probably beat almost any Navy or Air Force pilot in a dogfight, even though I have never flown solo in a real plane.

So I would say that Aces High:

(1) Keeps me ground in reality
(2) Keeps me humble

AH taught me that when fighter pilots landed their aircraft back at their home field, yet came to a stop on the grass instead of the defines "strip", their sortie was considered a ditch...hehe

Really, aren't you now a better driver?  Smarter pedestrian?  Smoother talker?  Wiser computerite?  More elusive target for any hostiles on or off line?  

Is there anything you don't do better since you started doing Aces High?


Not only that, but now I'm even better in bed!



Thanks Aces High :aok

i remember the old days well.

from the infancy of warbirds to adolescences of aces high, it was a trip well worth taking.

i still wear an I-Magic shirt i won, really miss that combat area and the instant carpet bombing tho.

$200-$300 monthly bills weren't uncommon back then, a culling factor you could say.

all good fun flying till dawn...with four 20mm cannons on big blue and the new smoothing codes.

guess for me it's memories.

i don't fly anymore.
