Your playstyle/philosophy on flying Aces High

[nimble]

With so many different playstyles and reasons for playing, it'd be nice to have a friendly thread of what you like to get out of your time in AH2. Hopefully we can keep it civil, HTC has made a very dynamic game for us to enjoy, I take that as all current styles are working as intended.

For me, it's the immersion. I like to fly the rides that I pilot with the idea that it is real combat with the intent being able to get home. Fighter sweeps are my favorite, with an especially strong love for buff hunting. As far as the war goes, I really don't pay much attention to that, I mean I'll help if I am around a base fight but porking/bombing anything other than radar is not my cup of tea. It's just a game mechanic that I don't enjoy, but certainly do not look down upon. Without it where would I find those bombers I so love to attack.

Basically, I just like to take up a fighter roll, and stick to that. It's the most fun for me for my buck! Never really got into gvs, I like to be in the air.

Represent your playstyle, yo. It always good to read what other people enjoy about this great game. Who knows, maybe someone will post something that someone else might like trying!

1. Turn and burn
2. Out maneuver my oppenent
3. Kill him
4. Bask in my glory until someone picks me *(This has reduced a bit since Shreck retired  )

Shreck retired?

I'm a furballing luftweenie.

Love the 190s and 109s, and I fly them very aggressive and to the death. Very rarely would you see me run from a fight, I'll take a spit 16 on in a Dora even if it means my death. I try not to BnZ because I hate when its done to me, and I do complain about it. No need for the kettle to call the pot black or what ever it is.

I will take one pass to burn off extra E, then on the next one I will try my best to latch on to your 6 until one of us are hitting dirt.

fun

1. Dogfights

Once in awhile ill run troops or get in a gv to help defend a base. Other than that you will see me in the air.

I fly for the fight first.

Shreck retired?

Ya, like he won't be back though

Kill planes with my T34 and kill tanks and bombers with my Yak

I like to fly the cartoon planes...

Thats as well as  i can put it, i just like to have fun.

[Nemisis]

BnZ/slashing style fighting unless in a turn fighter
max of 4v1 unless in an inferior plane when it drops to 1v1
don't fully commit to a fight untill you see your opponets fighting style
don't make/accept HO's (I consider HO'ing a desise  )
don't sacrafice more than .5k alt for 1 kill

those are my general ROE for AH2

 i like fighting angel666 in his fw's. in mw, he is the only pile-it i've seen yet, that will enter into an actual dog fight. i;ve vought him several times. he doesn't bnz, run to ack, ""extend", or anything else.
 he flies it till its wings fall off. it's a friggin blast flyin against him.

any of you guys want a good fight against a 109 driver, look this dude up.

 i had a couple white knuckle fights against him, a couple weeks back in the DA. every fight was good, FUN, and clean.,,,,,,well......'cept for my 38 parts littering the cartoon landscape. 

[CAP1]

ok......my MAIN reason.....FUN. escape from reality for a little while. turn n burn, try to learn what i can and cannot get away with in my cartoon airplanes.

 if i'm attacking buffs, i try to set up my attacks in such a way as to make it survivable for me. it's one of the few times i really care if i get home.

 i don't much care about missions,........i sometimes will follow the land grabbers, because they almost always start a good fun fight.

White knuckle, adrenaline pumping 1v1.
