Most of the guys in my squad are old timers, with many of us going back to Airwarrior. Everyone goes through the ebb and flow of flying. Some times folks forget why they play and need a break. And if it's no longer fun, playing makes no sense. At the same time as an old timer, i can tell you I'm still having fun. In the end I think it's the friends I've made and the interests we share via the game that keep me going.
That's the beauty of something like Aces High. The game itself isn't the secret so much as what it allows us to do within the game along with the friends we've made. if it was only the game, I'd still be playing Aces over Europe.
One reason why I was quite happy to join the 367th Squad, most are old timers that flew in AW, most are up in age, which doesn't mean they are mature in any shape or form, hell Hooter is a kid in a candy store when someone ups a tank in front of him.
Sometimes people get frustrated, I was one that spewed every 4 letter word in the book, but honestly I just like the challange now. Flying something above 25 Eny, means I pretty much can't expect to win, and I will likely lose more fights then I win. So there is nothing to be frustrated about, frankly I was more frustrated with this crappy Logitech 3D then 30 lemmings trying to gang me every day.
I swear first thing I am gona do when the Thrustmaster Warthog comes in, I am going to up a C.205, climb to 15k - find a horde and auger like a boss.
Cause thats just how I roll.
