HO's and Hoards..

Corky's AH Rules to live by


-No one really dies

-It's just a game

-You get a new plane every time

-Being a high scoring Aces High player will not get you laid. (that would involve leaving your computer for at least a few minutes)

-Get in the fight and have at it.  If you die, try again.  You just might get better at it.

-Using history to justifiy the HO shot in AH doesn't work.  No one really dies so there is no risk.

-That being said.  It's your dime.  Fire away.

-If you are starting to take AH seriously, it's time to take a break.

-Do what you enjoy in the game and quit worrying about what the other guy thinks.  You'll never make em all happy anyway.

-If Aces High is where you get your self esteem, I'm worried for you.

funnily enough the fall of ACM directly coincides with the destruction of the old DA, where many people used to spend their evenings, learning to kill people, instead of just flying to get kills.


HTC needs to ressurect the old DA and we as a community need to try and restart the passion of a good fight in the MA's, before AH truely becomes a pre-teen arcade game

I know this is late to the thread, but this gets my vote.

I had the most fun, met the best people, learned the most about flying ACM, from my time in the old DA during my first 8-10 months or so.  I spent half my online time there and the other half in the MA.  Met and brought in half our squad from there.  Got my butt kicked thoroughly (but I was learning) by Dedalos, Phish, Batfink, Wolfala and too many others and it was great!
Can't tell you how bad I miss that.

Agreed.  All bets are off in that scenario and if someone is stupid enough to go HO with cornered prey that's got nothing to lose, racing to beat their 5 other countrymen to the kill, they deserve what's coming.  

Agreed.

You forgot about Candy Mountain!   May your feet fall off and your kidney be forever banished to Candy Mountain.

I I don't really know what HTC stance is on that because I've never noticed a reply by them when the request is brought up.

Ohhhh, I got one  

True though, you get in there and out of nowhere 262s start buzzing your fight. Not everytime though

Excellent list! But, you forgot one, Dan --

No matter what is wrong in Aces High, it's probably Corky's fault.

Well I recently returned from a looong spiratual hiatus, logged in and went to the LW thinking that due to numbers there would be some good fights, well there was a few but I had to make em.
as posted earlier I had to present myself as a easy target and lots of guys ignored the chance. a few did. All in all as it was looong ago the game is what YOU make of it. tonight ill hit the mw and ew arenas and give em a whirl.

The sad thing is that my gunnery also truley suckath swamp water. i can outfly or atleast keep up with most but i cant hit squat:furious


EDIT: I didnt notice but is the DA gone? or just changed? i was lookjng forward to calling batfink out

True toonces but the problem between this game and real life is a real death. In real life I bet bullets flying at you would scare the bejeezes outta ya. I can see firing a short burst like you said, to kind of rattle someone. But in this game IMO it's pretty useless. Whenever I see someone shooting me from the front I don't get nervous. I think that this is going to be an easy kill and if anything make me more aggressive.

Excellent point.  I was discussing this topic with someone in my squad, and we reached the same conclusion.

I hadn't thought of it in these terms- namely that Shaw's book, while excellent, loses some relevance when we're talking computer planes rather than flesh and blood flying.

Exactly.  Reading Shaw's book only "goes so far".
