I have a fantastic computer. But do you need a Fantastic computer for good game-play or nothing to special?  :salute

Nope, nope, and more nope...

This is one of the shining points of Aces High, it's a meats and potatoes game that values function over fancy stuff...

Since the new terrain engine is coming out, I highly doubt HTC would stray away from being what it is now!

A $450 laptop is MORE than enough to play this game with respective graphics and rock-solid FPS!

Rumor has it, if you send me $50 bucks I can improve your game play by not flying in the area you're in and shooting you down.

maybe but its true that function is more important than the form for online games, especially if these games are to be played professionally. BUT aces high is a flying simulation and that type of games is traditionally on the bleeding edge in terms of graphics, not to mention aces high is a 'casual' game of sorts.
