What's with the guys who've been playing 10 years with four stars doing nothing but HOing?

  It's a reflection of the modern need for instant gratification. 

  Unfortunately, some of the absolute ~B E S T~ HO's in the game, are also some of the most "respected" for their cartoon abilities.  I don't get it, but then I've never had a lot of respect for those who choose the easy way... or the lame.

People who arent vets here wont understand this concept because 99% of flight combat games are structured towards arcade style action. With that said MajWoody is correct in his statement. If a player does not like to be vulched simply do not up from that base or man a gun.

You have to consider the time and effort that is put into vulching. From De-acking to maintaining the advantage and everything in between. Vulching is something earned by the player/players vulching and can be overcome. Not foul play here.

can de-ak a small airfield in about 30(2 people) sec to a minute(1 person) and.. lob a shell 2k out and hit a plane on the runway if i so desired.. nothing is "Effort" here.. its all easy that is why so many do it only airfield that poses a threat is large


never the less the OP's point is quite a good one.. and when you wonder why we have no new players hanging around and dropping arena numbers.. its not rocket science

Shooting chutes is prohibited in Loose Deuce, the only exception would be allowed is if enemy jump out of a fully functioning plane over town to hide in HQ to kill troops.
On one hand, leaving them hanging in the chute means they aren't re-upping :)

In FSO, it's encouraged.  It's against the rules to hang in the chute...

I always thought that Aces High was a WWll simulation. You think a WWll pilot would pass up the opportunity to kill a plane on the ground? I'd say they would have been happy to get the kill while taking a plane out while on the ground. So goes it with this game. Even though it's frustrating to get vulched, it's part of the simulation of real war. For those of you complaining that vulching is frustrating for those poor newer pilots who are getting killed, therefore we should all stop doing it, what else do you want to eliminate that is frustrating? Go play the "Care Bears" game on PC if you want something non-frustrating.

is it available in all good retailers?   What age range would you recommend it for?  Looking for something less stressful than AH.

I am one of the best hoer in the game.  nobody respects me.  who should I complain to?

and by the way, there's only 1 rule in the game and that is that all red planes must be killed.  I'll do anything to bring the red con down, I'll ho it if I have to, vulch it, rocket vulch it, bomb it, heck sometimes I'll even ram him if it is needed.  and I expect to be treated the same.

those that play by a "code of honor" are just full of themselves.  there's no honor in killing a con that you know is not very good at the game.  and yet you do it all the time.

at least I am not a hypocrite.

you dont want me to ho, dont point your plane at me.

You thought incorrectly.  AH is a game that allows you to recreate aerial and ground combat using WW2 planes and vehicles and in no way tries to recreate or simulate WW2.
