With who started as just some guy fighting WW2 fighter planes against or with each other. I started this game years back, 2003 was my first year, and I only flew junk like the 109 with cannons under the wing, the HO-nik or the and started off shooting people down, but only if they were flying directly at me, where guns blazing, and HO because I had no clue how to get on the 6 of any NME fighter yet. Jeesh, those were the glory days of the Twist Stick from hell! WOW, I think I bought my very first stick 25 years back from K-mart in Southbury!
MY feeling on this game is the simple strong FACT, not just a notion that you guys, all of you guys and especially that 1 little girl who would have such a tallent of starting some sweet furballs. There won't be another stick such as Betty. Heck, I remember many years back in AH1 times when she'd almost be p3ning me in her Nik against my 38. My God, how I wish those days even had the possibility of ever happening again!
IMO, The whole best sticks only existed years ago is flawed
Years ago it was very crowded and was like fishing in a barrel. It was easy to rack points bouncing others fixated on another fight. Ya almost didn’t need a lot of ACM. You could just cruz around bouncing other fights. And if you did get into your own fight someone bounced you. It still happens.
Its not isolated to AH. Any sim that can work up a furball it would be the same. I don’t even hear of furballs in other sims, I could be wrong. But when I see sims using AI planes seem to be just buffering the lack of finding true fights in short time.
We still have some good or equal sticks.
I think some that migrate from other sims have a harder time in AH than a AH migrating to other sims. Just ass-u-ming. It can be much quicker thinking in AH.
Back to subject, try to return your machine under the basis that you were sold on.
When I was still working there’s no way I had any time to build my own as usual. So I bought a custom package from Dell (2022). Default was about $1,400. It jumped to $1,700 when I changed out the default GPU to RTX 3060ti on the order. But even the default GPU would’ve run AH just fine. And it has great support.
I’m quite happy with Dell, EXCEPT when you need to replace a Dell proprietary part you will pay way over a normal price. If you don’t they do make a solid machine. It does the same I want if I built it myself from scratch.
I don’t give 3 flying rats butts what others say about how cheap other games are, its expensive to have a machine to play great modern graphic games.
A minimum of $2k investment. Some sims in full detail it goes up to a minimum of $3k - $4k including peripherals. You may save on playing cheaper games but that is offset by the price of required machine. One way or another its expensive, the same money spent, just in different directions Running something like DCS full tilt you’re talking bug money machine. Instead of a sub it went into the gear. A lot just don’t do that math.
$180 per yr if AH vs a $4k machine? Come on, man. It’s not rocket science. HA! It would take 10 yrs of AH sub to match that extra $2k for that modern game machine for say DCS. So AH sub IS in factual numbers, is cheaper to play, by far.
