we understand that, But, im sick of hearing about AW..thats all ive heard about since i started this game years ago.
Its like thats damn "Walked to school in the snow up hill both ways" story...get tired of hearing it after a while

Well, I did walk in the snow in Michigan, uphill both ways to school!  And I flew Air Warrior too! neener...

[Ack-Ack]

I wrote a very similar post for this thread yesterday, but decided not to post.  It was a bit more about community tho'.

What I find AMAZING is that the people flying AcesHigh don't realise that AirWarrior was the FIRST MMO game ever.

I believe first "graphic" MMO.  MUDs were in place long before AW but those were all text based affairs.


ack-ack

ack-ack

that is indeed correct.

the first MMO's were all text based Fantasy type games (IIRC).

those pre-date my computer days by @ a decade. 

I do remember playing Zork on my Apple II back around 1980 ish.

[angelsandair]

wow, dude, thats a while back. 

God, I remember playing a tank game on a computer with little green squares and triangles representing the enemy tanks. 

[SD67]

Lets step into the time machine back to 1980...
Anyone remember the original SNAKE?
How about the original LABYRINTH?
There was also a game I used to play called STARFIGHT.;
Ahhh the lunch hours I wasted in the school computer room...

Hello---ok I'm new to AH---and so take my remarks as those of a newb. I did "fly' Warbirds from the 1st version (as jahgyd and biggus) until 1999 and then Warbirds again for last 3-4 years until my squad moved here [Parrots]. Complaining, arguing, and whining seem to be common to both games on Channel 200 and its equivalent in WBs---and I find that unfortunate. Here are some of my thoughts on common points of contention.
 (1) HOs. Well, if you read any of the Osprey series books (see the CBI P-40 book or Hurricane Aces book as examples)---they are FULL of first hand battle accounts---which are FULL OF HO's [including Hurri Is HO-ing 110s ). Now from the point of view of "playability" I agree that simply flying straight at one another---guns ablazing, would be boring. When will I HO?
  (a) When my AC gives me a decided advantage to do so----if a C-202 wants to HO me in a 110G or 190A8---no problem.
  (b) If I am hoplessly outnumbered---I gotta take the shots I get---not wait around to be slowly killed 5 on 1.
  (c) If my opponent won't give me any other shot. Had an LA-7 and Spit ----dragging over Wirbels on ground---only shot I had after many attempts was HO---I'm not gonna follow them over the Wirbels.
  (d) There are some pilots who seem to do nothing but pull up into HOs (lotta La-7s seem to do this) sometimes you just take the shot.
  (e) there seem to be a fair amount of pilots who can't tell a front quarter deflection from an HO. I've killed people who ---couldn't have hit me--but they think I HO-ed them
  (f) If I can rudder in for a snap shot by surprise (with hope of no return fire) I will.

 (2) Ramming----I suspect most of this is just screwing up---I would NEVER ram an enemy AC---but I've had my share of frustrating collisions.
 
  (3) here is one I like to PRIVATELY whine about to myself-----stick stirring----this is IMO---just "gaming the game" to stay alive at all costs. I will pursue a "stick stirrer" into AK, Wirbels, hell, and ALL THE WAY BACK to base---just for the satisfaction of 1 kill and 100% ammo spent.

    Enjoying the game---let's keep it civil and fun.

You know what else is common to both?  Complaints that the game has gone down hill and you can't find a decent fight anymore.   If you look at it the right way, what you've pointed out is the silver lining:  things haven't got any worse!

I've found plenty. I was at 15k looking for some rooks to pick, ran into a spit 8. P47 vs. Spit-8 usually isnt fair. This guy was sorta nooby so it was real fun. I would bring my plane into an immelan, full flaps, while he would be on a turn. Finally, he did a split-s and I just did a slight flat turn, killed him. But we were fighting for like 10 minutes atleast.
