A friend of mine took  a look at Aces High  and asked why I continue to paid for a game that is using false advertising to draw people in.  I asked what do you mean?  He pointed out that the game you pay to play hasn’t received “Constant updates and additions Keep the game fresh” since January 31, 2014.
He questioned the number of players and said it is hardly “Fight against hundreds of real players from around the world”
And after he reviewed the historical skins on aircraft he pointed out that all German aircraft are missing the most historical part of each skin.   I tried to explain that AHII will be replaced with AH3 and that all their efforts since January 31, 2014 have been geared towards that end.
His response was if they had just done what they advertised and performed the constant updates and additions they could have keep the game fresh all that time.  I said , they don’t work that way.  Needless to say, he passed.
