Kill the red things.

Chase the running red things.

Try not to shoot the green things in the process.

Get killed by the red thing I didn't see.

Forgot to mention...

Go Afk to add hops to the boil...

Get shot down....

I like 1 V 1's when ever possible. I don't run, I try not to vulch, and I only Ho if i see tracers first.

I like the mid-war, with fewer players players, but better quality fights.

I like the organization, cunning and tactical skill that my squad has for taking bases.

I like the base taking and the GV'ing that we do on occasion.

It's a well rounded mix of activities. makes every night a fun night.

I like talking to people on vox, even to those who do not care for me, because I find they are nicer on Vox then here in the forums.

I like working with all the players for a common cause when going after a big base.

I don't take this game any more serious then just a game, but i try to treat each and every person I come in contact with, with respect.

I like the AVA for the 2 sided conflict and the different scenario's and for its (what I consider) better quality of players and most of the time better, more realistic gameplay.

i enjoy flying the FSO's with the 353rd and someday hope to fly it again with JG54.  

I'd love to be a real pilot, so this game is the next best thing. I get killed alot but, all i have to do is hit the reset button. You don't have that luxury in real life.

I like to win, but i enjoy teamwork, cameraderie, and friendly banter win or lose. It's the social aspect that makes it fun!

Lesser plane, less advantage, vs superior plane, superior advantage and see who wins. Im not a fan of letting your plane's power dictate the fight, by either running or climbing away. I like fighting people who lock horns and try their best to gain yor six as you do the same.

I keep coming back to the game because I enjoy cartoon fighter planes duking it out in the skies.  Every time I take off I'm actually trying to make it back home in more or less one piece and hopefully a lot of victories, but I temper that with the idea that hopefully I'll have to work for them and that's why most my sorties end with a smoking crater and debris field somewhere on the side of a hill in the MA.  Lately I've switched from my usual 38J to the 38G and since apparently I'm a masochist the P-39D as well (all my squaddies think I'm nuts).  I find success in these planes from earlier in the war a lot more satisfying. Plus they also serve the purpose of feeding the other thing that keeps me playing this silly game, I'm currently obsessed with learning everything I can about the war in New Guinea during 1942 and 1943.

I fly the Corsair, and I fly to her strengths: If I'm one on one I'll get in and mix it up, but if it's a large furball I work from the top and the edges, slashing through, working the drags and setups. I kill, then I go home. I hate getting shot down, but guaranteed you're going to find me in the middle of the fight.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

My philosophy on flying Aces High?  It's to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

Yes, but that really only is smart in evenly matched planes. Turnfighting a zeke is just stupid.

I've killed Zeke's before, but pure turnfighting isn't the smartest thing you can do, you'd do much better to slash him, and keep him low and slow. In the weeds if possible, he has no room to maneuver, and not enough E to take it vertical.

My playstyle.

Fly planes at random and do pretty decently in all of them.

And i like to shoot down advanced planes in my poopy early war inferior planes.
