Hitech's thoughts on vulching  

They should be happy they weren't playing AW when HiTech was.  IIRC stories of him vulching the spawn at fields and popping planes left and right in a T-34.

I just get a kick out of the whole "I abhor vulching" thing.  Well...I know you and NB "get it".

My theory is those that cry and complain most about vulching are the ones too stupid to realize that you won't get vulched if you don't up a base that is under attack.  So instead of getting smart, they cry and rant about how 'cheap' it is and never learn from their mistakes.

Nothing is more enjoyable than pissing the other guy off by vulching him or shooting his chute.

 :rofl  You have no idea how much I "get it".

Like the time HT figured out where to park his tank so that he had the spawn on CV13 covered in the old Pac terrain. For the newbies....cv's in Air Warrior didn't move. He was miles away on an island and would pop anyone taking off. This was the "fall out of your chair" kinda funny...poor guys couldn't understand how they were dying.  :D

Come to a convention some time, I can assure you that I will dish all the dirt on HT from the AW days.  Of course, some adult beverage might be required. :devil

i've been though several online flight sims over the years(AW3,WB,EAW) and nothing comes close to Aces High.And it has been that way for many years.You fly with guys/gals,pass through several squads & you stop,look around at the friends that are still in orange off your left wing.After Busher's Hornets merged with Jokers,it went from the point of stagnation(& leaving the game) to a new level of enthusiasm and wanting to log on to see who's on.

From my perspective Jokers Jokers has to be THE best base capture squad in AH history.That's what we do..that and get the nme's panties tied into knots.Thus we become the target of individual attacks on the BBS..Which is fine(comes with the territory).



At the core of this migration of excellent people/pilots to our squad,is our XO Joker.An excellent leader(& recruiter)..the tamer of squeakers(you know who you are)..And a pure pleasure to fly with(HT should pay this guy..then Joker gives us a cut $) :D

These are the reasons I fly now more than ever..

1:Joker
2:Busher
3:Ghi
4:SlammerX
5:Bosco
6:Alka
7:Grewsome
8:Attilla
9:Sedonna
10:U2007
11:Seano
12:Krappy
13:Twizzty
14:Pieper
15:Kdweeb
16:Skully
17:HeavyD
18:Bongboy
19:Towdog
20:Yawrate
21:Stukka
22:Fitzy
23:Online
24:Spite
25:Mike1959
26:Knacks

These are the reasons we dominate the MA in base captures...Our tactics(eg.smash & grab) were perfected by us and now widely copied.We have some excellant map readers too which always helps.

I challenge any squad to post a role call of squaddies that you think compares to ours.(base captures & MA dominance)

This cohesion and co-operative teamwork of these fine pilots is only made possible by one person..

JOKER  :salute

   Your squad didn't invent anything, your tactics are nothing new,  people been doing them for years. You guys do them well,  but you have not invented anything  new.


Helm ...out


I didn't say we invented the "Smash & Grab"...said we "perfected" it.

I'm sorry but anything you think you've "perfected" was perfected long before you ever saw a flight sim.

nothing wrong with a good well organized squad,
not to sure i need to be told how good a squad is tho,
i do know it is nice to work with guys who know what they are doing,
 the training aspect of it is great for the game all around,
 i have learned and or teach alot of players the way of the game,
 and i am amazed at the things, some do not know.
 just check the attitudes at the door, and have fun!!

Jokers squad rep is only how you perceive it to be. Once you've flown with them, there's a whole new side to those guys. I see the Jokers Rep as pretty respectable. I don't see them vulching shade accounts or yelling (too) profane language...

I gather most are a tad jealous of their cohesiveness. At least they are all enjoying themselves; that's what this game is about IMO.

Not the Fights, not Base takes, not bombing, not vulching, not the GVing, not ANYTHING, but enjoying yourself with the company you've chosen.

I agree B. Lots of guys  on their roster were fun to fly with. Gruesome..very nice guy willing to help out. G....will always crack me up. Joker himself has frequented our vox and BS'd a while, which was great.  Dont you DARE think of touring or switching sides for a period of time...doing so will get you banned from a chesspiece and labled a spy, cheat and countryhopper by a CO. :confused:

Whats there to prove?  Only thing they proved is u can take bases fast with #'s.  Try doing it with only 10 people and going against 15-20+ defenders, then we will talk.

agreed... my old AW3 RR skwad (Grave Diggers) had it down to an art, with assigned targets/roles for certain flights.  We'd roll the entire map's bases every week, lol, and own the map. The simplest tactic that allowed us to do this was extending our CAP outwards toward the bases that could defend against the one we were attacking.... interdiction.

So even tho most of us older players who've been around have evolved into furball farts, we still know what it takes and how to take a base.  This is why the "war" never really bothers me - we all have our own learning curve, style and preference for type of action.

To those, including myself, who think too many are stuck on suck, i'm reminded of some quote by someone (Yeager?) who said something to the effect that 10% of the guys got 90% of the kills.

The biggest difference in squad ops I've seen over the past few years compared to earlier is the lack of coordinated tactics. Always going NOE deprieves a skwad of the learning experience for proper tactics, i.e. a ftr sweep ahead, a flight assigned to cap, escorting the goon/buffs (the weakest link in current tactics is proper escorting - and the easy availbility of m3's as opposed to goons only makes it less of a percieved need.)

Another weak link in squad ops is counter ops... I never see appropriate organized counterattacks or tactics used to defend a base being attacked with interdiction tactics.  This game has a lot of strategical and tactical options that are left on the table unused.

Meh...
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.
