Try a harder flight sim. It keeps me learning all the time. There is plenty of fighting out there.

Maybe you need to lose some important parts of your airframe to make the fights more interesting



Roll with it, even when you lose your ailerons

THIS GAME IS NOT OVER

Ya think not huh? Haven't seen any new players (other than name changes) for a year.... what about you?

Suspect when subscription fees get closer to HT's operating costs, this place will go the way of Spirit Airlines.

Wow,  This has been an uplifting thread.      There is plenty of action and fun to be had in the game.  (shrugs)

    Cheers,  One-eye

I know of at least half a dozen new players in the last few months. Have they stayed, I dont know. I havent heard from them since they joined up. I get notes thru discord and the youtube channel. The game is still going ok. We certainly need more numbers, but so far so good.

I see new names almost nightly at prime time. Are they new ir return I dunno. That gas been going on the last 3 yrs I’ve been watching.

It’s rare I don’t find action. Go kick a base bee hive, you’ll get action.

But I think we need to define action.  Seems some have a diff pov on how its defined.

Truth us the very time you posted no fights on 200 we were in fights. So I don’t get it.

My college buddy "Leisure" says he's coming back soon. He sucks so he won't contribute much other than kills for everyone else. I'll be down and out for a bit starting Monday due to knee replacement surgery but my nephew fired up an account and will probably use my rig while he's over here helping me out with the yard work, choirs and crap. Unfortunately he prefers tanking and gunning-so a lost cause to me but he'll still be a player. The neighbor couple on my left have expressed interest again so who knows? Once I get the swelling and pain under control I'll be flying lots as I won't be dancing the Lambada or participating in roller derby any time soon.

What sims are  you specifically referring to? While I'm sure there are many out there I have not tried, I have not found one better that AH3. More hard core simulation, like starting an engine, and takeoff roll? No thanks, I want to fly and die not spend 10 minutes just  getting the engine started.

[Bolt]

Soo...what about that training?? I didn't get a response or DM 

[DmonSlyr]

My B Bolt. Will send you a PM in a bit.

I just think its crazy, like when I listed all those awesome fighter sticks in the  "best tiered sticks" thread. We had over 50 players or more who were incredibly good in fighters and 1v1 fights. Well above average. We were having contests, quick fights, and so many players itching to be the top stick or atleast practice over and over again to get really good. Its why the muppets and blue knighrs were so good back in the day. Now its just weird because all of these guys have disappeared and the emphasis on quick fights in the furball/DA arena has died completely. I just find it strange. I wish we could get these guys back. Its the lost art of the Aces High jedi masters. I feel if we can bring back the spirit of 1v1 fights for fun and learning, and more people were interested in improving their 1v1 skills. We could bring back the art of Air Combat once more and have some huge battles in the MA.

Yup. Flew with the BK's for a bit. Watching Leviathon (Levi) NateBDP, Drex and the regulars wade into a furball was like a ringside seat at a Frazier - Ali fight. I recall Levi upping a capped base in a Spit 5 and within 5 minutes or so, what wasn't dead were running home.

Too bad YKW wasn't able to check his ego at the front door when he was around. His skills were mighty impressive.

It died with the end of KOTH for me..

Always willing to go to h2h, just announce it in ma..

Be careful with that.
You don't want to trigger someone and get the thread shut down.

Not sure about anything other than IL2 but you set engine management to hands off and usually the only thing you need to adjust is your thrust. You just can’t go full throttle the whole time. I’m guessing you’re probably even turn that setting off.

I have never played the multiplayer over there but I definitely credit the single player campaigns to improving my ATM here.
