I think you're full of toejam.


I like it.  To the point.

It's a statement.

No blur of the lines, no question of his REAL feelings.

Good post :)

No question of where SOB stands.

Personally I'm a #3 but not in a eeeeuuuuu pony..

Much to "cute"

Everything Poopster said is true, how can you argue that?

People take your blinders off.  He's just telling the truth. Although aces high is a great Game,  the MA has become a quick quake deathmatch form of gameplay for at least 90% of those participating.

For all of you to call him a whiner for telling it how it is, well... thats sad.

:rolleyes:

Actually, your post is also roadkill, because he aint telling it like it is.

You forgot 1 vital element in the groups.The" Strat jagoffs that think they speak for everyone and will force there game style on all others.Your opinion is irrevelent because you have a lower score than me and I can do what I want" This is otherwise known as the "Napolian" ego syndrom.
  Face it folks.There are many ways to play this "GAME"   Yes its a game.Its not meant to honor anyone,or any time in hystory or even any Ideal.Its meant to play and have fun in.Some are thinking 8 hours in advance for a reset,some with less time to fly would be happy to take one base and then get back to there real lives.Unfortunatly the strat group spending more time in the game often have the score to say"You cant use the CV because Im going to need it in 4 hours so Im gonna hide it till I need it." To those I say this.Realise that not everyone is reset happy.Not everyone is thinking 8 hours ahead and they want to use the resorces available right then.While you say its for the greater good,You really mean its for YOUR greater good and screw what anyone else wants.If you must have the ego of David Lee Roth clashing with Eddie Van Halen,thats fine.But when it affects others game play its a problem
 I have no problem with the strat group.But its not the only group flying.I like a good reset,but if it isnt fun whats the point.Oh yea.The macho dick thing of perks.Look at meeeee!!!! LOOK at MEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!I have 12 million points.I MUST BEEEE someone.Yea ya are.In your mind.

Great Post JB73!

JB73, I read this post and laughed my arse off :D Ignore those condemnatory meanies: For humour, accuracy, and readability, I award you straight 10s across the board. That should bring your average up ;)

I like to think of myself as being in Squad 5, but it can be lonely in there. Especially when a guy whose life you just saved accuses you of having an attitude for complaining about not being given a 6-call.

As to your statement about this whine compared to my thread, I readily concede that you have me beaten!

Finally, click on this link to hear a song by The Byrds, which I dedicate to all the A6M/N1K/LA7 dweebs in Squads 1 and 2. Some of you might already have guessed which song that is :D

 lol. Pay his subscription and then maybe you've earned the right to say that.

On it.

He started out great by mentioning many of the key whiner terms: HO, NIKI, La-7, kill stealing and chute shooting (6 points). And the overall whimpering tone was outstanding (10 points). Plus he earned bonus points with the follow up. But the proper use of paragraphs and punctuation cost him 5.  The comment about b-17 guns killing carriers at 5000 yd almost cost him for a sense of humor, but I think he is actually serious.

21 points puts it into the impressive whine category. Not a bad effort for a beginner.

We're up to what, squad 7 now?

7. People that for some reason are extremely concerned about how other people fly.

All these squads are a member of a much bigger Combat Group...

the Wannabe WW2 Fighter Pilot Aces.

So next time you start to categorize, just remember... you're only a wannabe.

These people have NO respect for the game and the war it is supposed to be honoring.All manner of disease and tragedy I wish upon you and your families.


I feel your pain, however, these aircraft help out those who lack skills to fly real ACM aircraft.  If you offer to pay for every player who consistently flies these aircraft, I sure you can control who selects what aircraft. When you win Powerball, get back to this thread and offer to pay for their acccounts with an agreement that they avoid the N1k and LA7.

Images of the aliens fighters in independence day float through my mind. The overmodeling of these planes is astounding. The military would love to get their hands on planes that could perform like this, there would be no stopping the air superiority.


"Annoying" is defeat in wolve's clothing.  These two aircraft are the easiest to defeat if you simply grab a Spit or A6M and kill them with their own medicine.

Their squad mission statement reads: Get as high as possible then fly for hours to get 1 or 2 kills.
If there were cars that got the mpg. of a Pony in Aces High there would be no giant oil companies. I'm amazed we needed more than 50 gal. of petrol for the whole war. that would have kept the Ponys and F4U's up for 10 years it seems.


A good way to deal with this is the same as Squad 2, grab a P51D, get high, kill them at their own game.  262 also forces them to lower alts where your squaddies can kill them ;)
Remember the fighter pilots #1 rule "Altitude is life"

Squad 4 "Bomber Group (insert name here)"
Their squad mission statement reads: Flatten anything you see.
I actually have respect for the patience it takes to fly so long. The only problem I see is did we ever have a B17 shot down in the war? If so, how?
The guns can sink a carrier at 5000 yds. Enough said here.


Please provide footage of the guns sinking a CV at 5000 yards and I will pay for your account for one year.

These pilots fly with each other and actually try to win the war. They give respect where it is due and try to honor the pilots who actually flew in WW2. They don't believe there is such a thing as stealing a kill or shooting at a chute. There is true strategy involved with what they do. Salute to any and all who fit into this category.


Personally, some days I have time to "help win the war"..other times I have limited flight time, and helping to 'win the war' doesn't rank as high as "enjoy what little time I have online".  With such a variety of weapons at our hands, how could one not sit down and have a fun Tank vs Tank battle?  Again, start paying for your countrymens accounts and you'll have your participation.

Actually, I fall into all 5 catagories, depends what mood I'm in.

"Wannabe WWII Fighter Ace?!?!?"

I, for one, am greatly offended by that label!

I'm a "Wannabe WWI Fighter Ace!"

But, since AH does not have a WWI planeset and since AH is the best thing going I could find, I guess I ended up joining the wrong squad.
