I enjoy the hard fight, pretty equally matched pilots/planes and a hard fought victory whoever wins.
I also love the rare times I manage to egress from a multiple red scrap having given a few picker types a bloody nose :old:

I really enjoy just having a go.  I'm far from artistic, but I have a skin in the game, done movies, my own off-line terrain etc.  And then there's the friends I've made.  Sometime I'll just sit in tower and go and do something and wait for someone to login.

Friends-Fun-Squad, that's the ingredients I put into my blender. That makes my day if I get the just perfect dosing of the three.  :banana:

Maximizing lethality and trying to stay alive but never shying away from an engagement theres a way to win. Now that's fun.

What matters most is of course friends in my sqwad.

1) Supporting squad members at all costs

2) Bombs falling on target

3) Sending intercepting aircraft to their doom

4) Landing safely

I just returned home from what I consider being the most important thing in Aces High. It's the community, all the good friends I've made during these years. It totally was worth the drive, about 400 km (250 miles) one way, to meet a bunch of the guys again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=yZnRJPUKC98 explains some. Or then not.  :cheers:

Flying the most ridiculous plane imaginable for the most inappropriate mission and trying to be successful.

My unofficial team "The Troll Patrol" was founded on that principle.

Defending against base takes in Spitfire Mk1's AND landing kills.

D3A strat runs. And then dogfight the interceptors.

Ju-88 Fighter sweeps.

Here are mine:
1). Flying as a team with my squadron and contributing to that group
2). Historical "immersion" (to which events like FSO add tremendously)
3). Challenge of improvement (I used to keep track of mostly K/D ratio in MA but now mostly try to improve my survival rate and kill streak in FSO)

Friday Squad Ops and my squads involvement in it. <S>
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
