Switching countries, why not ! My decision!
« on: December 28, 2007, 10:09:28 PM »
Ladies and Gents....

I've been playing Aces High for approx 15mths now.
I enjoy the game very much !
I must admit that I play this game mainly for FIGHTERS and scraps ...
Sometimes I will jump in vehicles and the CV to assist teamates...
Don't really care about the captures and scores and who's wining the war !

After playing in each arenas for a while, the MIDWAR is my favorite one.
For me, the scraps are often FAIR. I like the 1 vs 1 or the 3 vs 2 etc...
I like the plane choices in the MID war years...

For the first several months I was loyal to the BISHOP cntry. I also belonged to a reputable squadron.
After a while, there was no air cons to fight. The action was taken place between the two other countries... I was getting bored driving GV's !  LOL
Well I took the decision to quit my squad and become a free pilot for a while.
That is when I started to float from one country to the other !
That is when the game started being more interesting !
I met my enemy pilots and had good constructive conversations with them.
My fighter skills have improved very much !

I respect anyone being loyal to his country:aok

Lately I have been getting some flak from frustrated players.
Sorry guys ! I will keep changing country as I see fit !

There are two things I check when I log to play ACES HIGH.
1) Roster - To check team balance
2) Map     - Looking for air cons
3) Squad - Belong to a squad. Will play with them...

To those of you that get upset towards me, too bad guys, its my decision !
If you come across me and wish to engage in any conversation, you are welcome.
On many occasions, I have spent hours teaching and passing along my fighting tips and skills to other squadron pilots. (Hired Guns / Steel Rivets / S.O.A.R.S and many other pilots fighting in MID WAR)

I will be loyal to any teams ! That means I will not and never did change sides to take advantage or give any info to anyone to gain advantage.

I will not comment against any countries regarding the ongoing gossips.
Some players/squads and countries have their own styles of playing this simulator game:aok

Anyway...
Nothing personal to anyone I have come across and shot down when minutes earlier they observed my game ID on the roster and being on the same team.
I play this game to fly the SPIT9 and looking for a fair good hard long lasting scrap:D
Tried the late wars and its not for me. Being jumped/bounced by 4 when saddling up on the enemy plane is not what I'm looking for !
Getting a kill credit when we are 4 vs 1 is not what I enjoy !
I enjoy the MID WAR and that is where you will cross me...
Keep your eyes peeled for that high spit !

SALUTE  !

Changing teams is a very good idea.  It is fun to fly with different people and it is fun to fight the enemy rather than your team to compete for kills. As an added benefit, you do a small part to keep things interesting.  If we all flew for one country, wouldn't be much fun at all.  The only people who would care enough to make something out of changing teams are those who take this game way to seriously to begin with...so, switch away and continue to have fun.

Salute BKWOLF !

My best advice to anyone who wishes to become better at whatever part of the game they like best is : Join the player that gives you a hard time and learn from him !

I was shot down by MACE-ROLEX-BIPOLAR-SLAPSHOT-AKAK-SIMARIL-RODENT57-NB- BIGPLAY-VONHOLTZ and many more...

I have come across these guys and had good learning conversations with them. I flew with them while recording their fights...
Today I'm a fair pilot and give good scraps to anyone who challenges me(I think !):confused:

Until we meet again my friend !

SALUTE

Good for you Phil:aok  I fly with my squaddies if they are on at the same time, otherwise I generally fly for the side with lower numbers - whoever that is at the time. If my squaddies come on during that time, I'll switch arena's until my hour is finished, then go fly with them after that.

Only been here a short while, thoroughly enjoying it (even the ho's, rams (thats normally me tho lol..) and meeting a truckload of new people).

I'm gradually improving, even if my stats dont reflect that bit lol.....it now takes people up to 30 seconds to shoot me down rather than 5:D


Its about having fun, and its working for me.......


all of ya (even you lot who shoot me down regularly.....I'll get payback, oh yes, bwahahahaha *cough, cough*....ha ha ha ha ha

I'm the worst pilot ingame ya know!!!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

Lots of fellas and squads seem to regularly switch countries.

Muppets and AK's are the first to come to mind.  I'm sure there are others.

I'm mainly a Rook, and there are a bunch of fun guys that fly Rook. However, if there's no real fights going on (and just the normal runners and rammers) then I'll switch over to the Knights. The Knights are always fun to fly with too.

Haven't really flown bish at all. I may only have 3 minutes of flight time with them since I began playing AH2.

Switch, it's no big deal. Hec, that's why they put in ENY to encourage side swapping. Enjoy yourself, and ignor the wennies,  :D

:noid  Can anyone guess what I'm look at? Ah, never mind...:)

I usually stay in the same country I happen to log into. I figure in the next day or so my squadies would catch up to me.


Lil did I know they run the other way! :furious

i dont thinks its a case that people jump countries but i think people assume they have done so to get easy kills. IE they seen a noe mission and they jump countries to intercept them.

personaly i take my hate of to the people who do jump countries to even the sides out (it improves game play) but i hate the ones that do it for the easy kills.

I mostly fly Rooks but I switch sides from time to time if there aren't any good fights or if the ENY is crazy. Switching sides to spy is pretty lame though.
