CVs will be found by legitimate ways. They are also given up in Pms. Nor would this stop that kind of behaviour intirely but it would sure cut down on it or at least make them pay another 15$ a month for the ability to do so. Also the nasty Pms would stop, and before anyone says it yes I know I've sent my fair share of nasty Pms myself.

Butcher there is a great way to talk to who you want to right here in a PM form. Oh and by cross country I meant no PMs to red guys but no problem on your very own country. Cant imagine you would want to wing up with a enemy :)
I will never buy in to punishing everyone for the actions of a few. I get to deal with that bs at work, don't care to see any more of it in my hobbies.

You can turn off channel 200 by tuning to another number and I believe you can stop pm's by right clicking on
The text buffer. If they are abusive you can also right click on their handle in the roster and squelch their text or voice. If their colorful metaphors get out of hand you can right click on their handle and report them to HTC.

If you send a compliment to your opponent........9 times out of ten you'll get one back.
I like chatting with my opponents. It is just a game. Have fun!

Worst .........Feature in the game  and where all the "spying" comes into play. Let them go teamspeak there rears off or play phone tag. Why enable this in the game? It's just stupid. If you feel like talkin to a person on another side go sit in the o 'club and talk till your blue in the face..

Whether we like it or not Aces High is as much social media as it is a game. If customers want to pay HTC good money to spend an evening talking to each other, who are they to refuse.

You can turn off any channel or pm's or system messages if you like even country channel.

1. Bring up your map
2. Hit the radio button  .."/"
3. Move mouse into radio box and right click ALL in the radio window.
4. Click on edit settings
5. Walla  :aok

Quite often I rush eagerly into a fight without sufficient SA, resulting in ramming, crashing or whatever, spoiling the other pilot's joy about a decent fight. I feel a PM is the correct way to apologize for my poor flying rather than spreading my lack of talent on 200 - which the opponent might even have disabled.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

BS.  No matter what is done people will always blame a spy if their mission faces even token opposition.

Probably the best way to get rid of the spying accusations would be to have dot dar extend all the way to the ground, showing even tanks and for CVs to show up for all sides on the map.  Short of that, deal with it.

Wouldn't help. I got accused of using "spies" when I 'magically' found multi formation bomber missions at 20+k, which were making full sector darbars creep across the map for half an hour at least. On more than one occasion.  :lol

I just don't get how intensely people try to avoid combat in a combat PvP MMO...

Its not BS.

People don't have to do anything but lift a finger and pm a friend.
No side switching.
No running around with 2 accounts.
A simple PM can wreck a perfectly good evening for allot of people. Basically the game itself enables the griffers of all types to screw with anyone. Also Squad Vox shoudn't be allowed cross country.
It shouldn't be allowed period.

If the PM results in combat, it was a good thing.

Stop trying to avoid any fight and learn to actually fight.


Let me put it this way, I remember when bases were taken with a handful of people who knew what to do to take it even when opposed.  Now we have groups of 50+ using crude saturation bombing who give up and auger if their "mission" is detected.  Their nights ought to be ruined.
