I'm more opening to all game play though, as long as people have fun. If people wants to spend 30 min to get their bomber over to enemy base, that's fine with me. Bombers are fat juicy target. I don't fly bombers or like being in one, but I do support other of whatever they like to fly. Overall ace high is just a game, I don't take it seriously. I love flying in furball in both D9 or K4, but if the furball dies then I'll go else where.
Furball to me is open hunting ground, it's a turkey shoot if I'm in a D9. Quick 10-20min for 15 kills and rtb. Yes, I enjoy furball. I also love turnfighting in my K4, just to see how long I'd last low and slow OTD. It's satisfying taking on multiple and making out alive while the bad guys doesn't. Then again, that's my style. I try to be open about it and adjust to the changing situation. If I'm fighting over a furball area, and then it got shutdown. That's okay too, I'll switch to capping mode. I found that fun a lot of time, just to see the teamwork of the fellow countryman in numberous of squads working together for a common goal.
I acutally had a very satisfyin mission last night, where that happen. I went from just a regular furball mission in D9 to hunt down enemy bombers to keep them of our carrier. Finally making my way to the furball area to find out all hangers were down so I went into a CAP mode, then to an escort goonie mode. I only had 8 kills in this mission which is normally 5-6 kills below my average successful mission, but I still had a lot of fun because I got to work w/ the fellow players for a common goal. We gotta remember the majority of players in AHII are here for fun, and if it's taking a base together is fun for some then that just how it is. I'm not gunna look down on people for enjoying the game differently. If thing changes in my AO, then I have enough SA to realized that's not where I want to be and I'll take my plane else where. Oh yea link to that mission that was a blast for me in this game for a long time.
http://www.filefront.com/14310403/D9Buffhunting.ahfI enjoy this game by playing w/ my friends that I have made throughout the years in this game. New friends that I've made recently and those that I knew since 1996 in AWs. All of us have different game style, I switch my style time to time to make it fit while flying with my buddies. If they have a bombing run, since I don't fly bomber I'll hop into a k4 and escort. Of course, in doing so it force me to doing an escort job and restrict from my free hunting. It's okay though, I'll change mission priority from killing as many bad guys as I can to just trying my best to keep my friendly buffs up (that's acutally a pretty hard task, I encourage you all try and escort a group fo 2-3 sets of buff w/o losing one).
I also understand some people can't afford a new computer, and the only way they can acutally play this game is by flying bomber where there frame per seconds is acutally above 10. I know they'd like to dogfight, but hell at a frame rate of 4 every time you get within 400 yard behind a bad guy is not playable. I wish I can get them a new computer and show them how fun this game is outside of their bomber prison. Then you got older folks in the 60-80+, who can barely use a computer, but they love flying so they're just here to have fun. I know a few WWII pilots, korea war pilots and a lot of other veterans that are in the game. Sure they don't know a lot about how this game work, how the mechanic in the game work or how to set their view using f10, or how to make their mic louder. I'm sure they have a whole lot more flying experience in real life then pretty much most of us. To sum it up, Ace High players come from all walk of life, with all kind of experience. Yet what we all have in common are our love for aviation. We're a small community, with a variety of aspect of the game. There's no reason to get upset over something that we can adjust to adapt to the changing enviroment in the game.
