Skill is shooting where the enemy plane/vehicle will be, and not hoping for a hit.

Skill is maneuvering your plane by reflex, not by thinking about what to do next.

Skill is not having your confidence shaken when faced with more than one adversary at a time.

Skill is flying and maneuvering your plane while looking somewhere other than your front view.

Skill is making the red guys react to your tactics, not you reacting to theirs.

Skill is firing your main gun, and turning to the next target because you know your round will hit what you were aiming at.

Skill is jumping competently from weapons platform to weapons platform and giving the enemy hell the entire time.  From plane to vehicle and from field guns to ships gun/shore batteries.  Non-stop combat capable.

:old: Winning often.

Not just winning but also how you go about it. You can actually lose a fight but have and show the better skill.

Skill in Aces High is...mastering your own ego, then mastering those who cannot control theirs!   :frown: :banana:

I'd say another point in skill is one who always learns. Once you think you know it all... you fail.

No matter how long you play... there is always more to learn.

Skill to me is when an opposing plane with equal alt is able to merge HO and flip a 180 and keep equal or greater speed  :headscratch:

Skill is:

How you dorks haven't commited suicide yet from using your own arms to beat yourselves to death patting your own backs.

Could be worse. Counting to 10 to throw 8 second grenades by holding them with your knees while you count on your fingers. This thread is close.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.
