I do like how some folks think Hitech put years into this game for nothing. Years of blood sweat and tears. Only to kill it in some stupid manner.

This is his livelyhood. Not only his but all the employees concerned. From our experience with his game it is obvious he does not move on a whim. He looks at possible changes long and hard to denote the good and bad points. If any changes are made he does not just move on to the next. He still keeps a watchful eye on "made changes" to see if they need adjusting or complete removal.

While I may not agree with all changes, I know he hasn't just thrown the change in without lots of forethought.

Maybe I'm having a bad or something..but...Hordes, HOers, rammers, runners, and teammates who decides to clear your 12 are all getting to me  . Time for a nice long break...

I just flew a few sorties in the last 2 days after being out of the game for a month, unable to play period. I gotta tell you, Its the same La7s and Spit16s, except I really have nothing to whine about, I'd rather get shot down and at least fly Aces High then not fly at all.

I highly suggest thinking before you quit, I couldn't hit the side of a barn if I rammed it today, and I was spraying at 200 out!!!!!

ACM wise, I didn't forget much, Aim wise - yeah planets laugh at me because I would miss that close too.

Not quitting, just taking a break. Couple of days, week at the most. And yes, I know that the gameplay has been the same. Just that I've been running into these types of "gameplay" multiple times in a row and never even having a chance of *one* decent fight. 

I'll be back...just need to cool off.

This thread is freakin' hilarious... I just logged into the forum after about 5 years away from the game and am reading the SAME EXACT COMPLAINTS that arose years ago.  I played Aces High from 2001 - 2006, and stepped away from it for several reasons.  I have to say that one of the reasons was the HO-fever and the general trend toward specific "easy-button" rides.  Here are my thoughts now that I have the wisdom of time away under my belt:

- You're NEVER going to change the general trend to want to shoot things in the face (people like 1st person shooter games for the same reason)
- You're NEVER going to change peoples' desire to choose the best weapon for the job (why take a .22 when a 30-06 is bound to do more damage!)
- The best medicine is to work on improving your own skills/tactics/techniques to combat those issues

The bane of my existence when I played was the N1K2.  Hated that airplane.  So, I decided to fly it a bit and see what all the hype was about.  After learning how it operated, and that everyone's success in it couldn't possible be 'cheating,' I went back to my favorite plane (FW190-A8, yeah I'm a glutton for punishment) and used it's BnZ strengths against the Nikky.  No longer did I go down in flames with nary a kill.  I would repeatedly land 3 - 8 kill sorties, some even higher.  It takes planning and patience, but the reward is worth it.

Take your time, learn the strengths of the planes you like, and learn to combat the specific threats you despise.  There's no silver bullet in Aces High!
