Hello, I was hoping to get some info. My father was an aircraft mechanic and pilot who introduced me to this game, and his pride and joy was the renovation of the Memphis bell b-17 bomber. When I was 7 I ran up and down that plane for months, now 36. He praised the game for its life like realness and I loved playing with him in my 20s with what feels like a lifetime ago now (early 2000’s.) now with my own BA computer I find myself today thinking it’s time to go back, aces high was some of my best gaming memories. Upon doing some research I’m finding a lot of unsettling things. First of all days of 1000 players clouding the sky’s on a titanic Tuesday with gunfire and smoke seem all but a distant memory, steam says the player base is like 17 people on at once 😢 I read close to 100 some days but I can’t find any player base stats that support that, anywhere. I also read the customer service is horrible, not that I plan on needing any customer assistance. Before I go buy a nice joystick and take to the sky’s I’d like some clarification, is this game dead? Dead into comparison to what it used to be, are there hackers and immature admins ruining the game, mods that ban chat because they know not what responsible admining entails. I would love some answers, I’m a dedicated gamer who will play a game forever and deadly behind the stick. Thank you for taking the time of you do.
