Is Aces High Worth Buying?

[DmonSlyr]

Definitely worth buying, but it scares me since another company/person who doesn't understand the game and player base could completely ruin the game.

Only thing that should really change is removal of BowlMA, CraterMA, Buzzsawz, and Oceania. And then allow map makers and skinners to make updates. I'd probbaly increase CV strength and make some revisions to ENY, perk the B26 and TU2s, reduce the 190D to 5 eny and increase the tempest perk cost. Really dont need to make much more adj to gameplay tho. Add a separate free fight server since Match play no longer provides that. I wish there was was a code to add more points to attack the other side if no action there but thats about it.

I wouldn't want a company to get in and completely ruin the concept. I also wouldn't want a company to get in and not do anything, but that may be the better approach.

In anycase, id be happy to take over the game for Hitech to atleast make sure the game doesn't change too much to keep its overall concept.

Me bets you'd be making setting changes weekly. <runs>

Nah, the #s don't reflect it. I'd maybe bring down the k4 to an 8 eny and G14 to 18. Just looking at this month, the 190D has almost 1000 more kills than a K4. That means its far more impactful to the MA. The 190D is also a lot less fun to fight against than the K4. So it just makes the engagements more boring chasing them around. The G14 is actually quite slow and turns relatively mediocre, but understanding ACM vert flying makes it seems like it turns well. It cannot outrun a yak9u even, and its only saving grace is having the gondies in the MA to help it bring some planes down faster. Overall the g14 does well when it has friendlies to support but will get ganged easily if not.

Lol, Nah, but im just irritated with B26s and Tu2s downing a CV every time. They are so fast and if high most planes cannot catch them and then its a 1 pass wonder to destroy a great CV fight.

And each plane’s characteristics is why each one was built and used for specific operations, to win.

Can’t stand Spits, LAs, Typhs, but except for HOs, they are working as designed.

Yus guts want them all below or equal to 109s.

 A good pilet in 109 will smoke a 190D n TnB. No I’m not going to stop and pose for the shot. I’m Gumby damnit

Its da pilet.

A 190D can run from most of the MA including a K4 and can out dive and out climb it easy. Theres no reason for a 190D to turn n burn and 98% of them dont. Leading to boring engagements. The 109 will get ganged much quicker and also only has 64 30mm cannons that you have to be extremely presice while the 190D gets to spray 500 cannons and 1k 50 cals. It makes a huge difference. Again, that's why 190Ds are one of the most used planes in the game. A p40, no matter how good the pilot is, isnt going to be able run from most of the MA and will get ganged most of the time if no friendlies are around. Being able to run is a huge benefit that not all planes have and a pilot whose great at defense ACM is no match for 3 190Ds and 2 spits16s on their 6, and even the 50 cals are so weak that even if you get an overshoot shot on them, it doesn't do enough damage to hardly scratch the paint. Doesn't matter how good a pilot is.

Well, I think you may need a ride with me. In fact I’m collecting films of it. Several planes are able to catch up to me. I have films of up to 4-6 catching up on my 6 and landing rounds. LAs, Spit16s, 51s, F4Us, and Typhs will do it and fairly regularly. Now if I dive in from alt and doing 450-500, good luck. As far as making 2-4 turns then extending and walking away, not likely. From a 109, ya maybe.


Now if someone just flys it in a straight line, then sure, you’re probably right. Thats not how I roll, but whateva.

Going to take a couple hundred new guys to drain this swamp

190D has serious oil leak time. It was either last week or the week before you and I got tangled pretty high up in the air. I meant to post about this in here after, but didn’t get a chance because I’m assuming you were screaming into the microphone the same as I was lol

 It was me and I think one other rook and then either two or three of your side one was a P51D. You were in a 190D and I can’t remember if I was also in one or the Ta152. I think it was the Ta. You probably can check a film. After a couple of merges, I landed a hit that opened a leak to your oil and we sort of broke apart after that. I remember the other countrymen in range asking me if I needed to worry about the 190 and I said no I got its oil. It should be done soon.

As we were both extending, I saw the the 51 trying to duck away on the deck and since you and I had enough distance and the oil had now been leaking for a minute or so, I figured I had plenty of time to dive down and mop up the 51 and move on to the airfield about half a sector away for whatever ever else might be up. But of course, as as my usual, I overshot the 51 putting whatever plane I was in to the edge of compression and as I was climbing up to come back around, I saw you coming back again from a didtance. I only saw you because of the leaking oil.

I was asked again on range if we needed to worry about the 190 and I was like no that thing’s been leaking forever. It shouldn’t be up much longer. I climbed up about 10,000 feet I think and you didn’t stop coming. You caught up to me lickety-split and I think we had one more merge possibly two at that point I just said well forget it. This thing’s gonna run out of juice soon. Let’s see it try and catch me.

Narrater: The 190D did not in fact run out of juice.

So I extended figuring there’s no way you’re gonna be able to keep up with a busted engine but you kept coming and I remember saying on range again when is this Fn thing gonna run out of oil!!!

You slowly were able to get close to me but never closer than 600 yards. You started taking shots at around 800 and up at 600 but you must’ve ran out of pew pews or you wanted to get home because you decided to turn around and head back to the base. It was maybe a quarter of a sector away.

I feel like at this point it had been almost 10 minutes or more since I hit your oil and now I just had to see if you could make it home so I turned around to follow. I can’t remember if I caught up to you or not or you crashed on the landing or something, but you still made it pretty close to that base and I’m guessing that plane still has some oil in it some freakin where!

I may not be remembering the ending exactly as it happened. It was at least a couple weeks ago, but it was fun to say the least and definitely worth a revisit if you filmed it. Too bad you can’t hear what I was saying about your oil!

HA! I remember, I think one fight you were in a D9, we had 2-3 fights the last cpl weeks. I could not get within 800, taking pot shots spurts, keep ya on your toes. The last 3 fights were very close and could have gone either way easily. You flew the D9 as if you weren't comfortable in it, but ya got away,...D9 vs D9, I couldn't go any faster than you. Unless lower fuel load.

2 nights ago, it was hard to get within 800 of you, it was a 190 you were in, not sure the model. again just pot-shot spurts to keep ya puckered and off balance. I've hit at 1000, probably doesn't do much. But I just couldn't get that kill shot until you pulled up. I got that mistake as others wait for mine.

I may not win all fights, but the opponent is going to work for it and have fun doing it. I'm not running anywhere. I've run a lot of ammo out of chasers. Even with 3-6 on my 6, eventually I'll loop back and take out the last in line, prolly HO.

Last 3 fights were fun,... as it should be.

 

EDIT: I don't film as much as I should.

I missed one, getting 7 kills in 10 min, 5 with a wing missing....hysterical freak thing that won't happen again.
