I quit Aces High

[Pyemia]

Decided I've had enough of this game for the following reasons:


1) N1K - basically roadkill FM (all positives, no negatives applied).  Turns better then a spit, takes more damage then a 190, dives better then a P47, climbs better then a P38, Guns better then a tiffie.  Landable on CV.  Not perked. Newbie concession?

2) Super E spits - these guys given a tiny bit of alt will dive like death and keep that E forever regardless of any manuevering they do.  roadkill.  This super E keeping seems to be associated with anything that turns well.  Smells like a concession.

3)La7's - these planes will outperform anything in the game except the 262.  Temps can run maybe but aint got a hope in hell if they turn.  Unperked.  Concession.

4) GV's, damage models finally got to me.  Sick of .50's from P51's killing turrets and other similiar roadkill.  Sick of the killa bushes too.

5) Range icons totally unrealistic, I wanna fight aircraft not 50ft tall red icons.  

6) CV suiciders and suicide dweebs like lazs.  No point playing a simulation if the enemy in the simulations don't simulate properly.  Apart from some uneffective Japanese kamikaze attacks, most people in WW2 wanted to go home afterwards.

I'm voting with my money and no longer wish to play Aces High.  I'll perhaps take a look in 6 months to see if anything has changed but I very much doubt it would have.

I can handle a few small concessions but this games starting to remind me of an arcade game.  And no this aint a troll.

Where's Rude?

Looks like this is going to be a serious contender alright.

In the mean time, Buh bye Pyemia.

 

[Karnak]

I see a whole latta roadkill in that post and a few valid complaints, Zygote.

Take it easy, maybe you'll find your Luftwaffe dream someday.

[Blue Mako]

Zygote,

I think you need a break.  While you have that break, read up on how real WWII aircraft performed.  You'll find that AH isn't that far different from reality and your views are a bit on the subjective side.  Oh and when you come back in six months time, try flying in a scenario or two, some there do try to get their birds home.

Anyway, cheerio and definitely a high class whine with which to leave.

I give it a 7.8 (Technical merit scored highly but there was little personal interpretation or artistic flair included).

[AKSWulfe]

First of all, it's ineffective. Not uneffective. That isn't even a word, kind of like how chow doesn't mean good-bye.

Lets see, I was a in a 47D-11 earlier tonite, shot up a N1K2 low on the deck and then proceeded to run away leaving him behind.

Super E-Spits... I hear about 'em. Never seen 'em. It's a mythical phenonema mostly concentrated within the LostWaffle group.

La7s.... Well, just because you don't know how to fight 'em doesn't mean they are invincible.

GVs, uhm, is anything about the GVs actually realistic? No- so why are you in them if you are complaining about realism?????

Icons have been debated ad nauseum.

Dweebs like Lazs make this game fun. The weenies that run for hours are the ones that ruin it.

See ya Zygote, maybe WWIIOl has what you want........

Wonder what the next handle will be.

"No point playing a simulation if the enemy in the simulations don't simulate properly."

Yes indeed, this is why EVERY jotstick needs to have a 1500 volt shock device built in the the handle, so when you die, you DIE.

And this is why when you first log on, you should be assigned to a plane/country.  Who CARES if you wanted to be a virtual fighter jock but are stuck as a goonie driver, real pilots didn't get to choose their ride!

Oh yeah, you get assigned missions too, no ifs ands or buts.  Fail to fly them and your account is deleted for cowardice.

One last thing, in order to even GET an account you'll need to go through a testing process, after all real armies wouldn't just accept any dweeb as a pilot so neither should AH.

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?  LOL!

This HAS to be a troll, if not the fact that he's leaving then at least his reasons for doing so.  Zygote isn't so brainless as to actually be serious about that junk.  Or maybe he's letting off some steam after a rough night online.

Heh.  I'll grant that his 'I quit' is a tad over the top.  I think your responses have been rather unnescesary as well though, especially yours Karnak.  No personal attack intended, of course.  

Just some stats I bothered to look up before calling Zygote/Pyemia a "luftwabble'/'lostwaffle'/'insert your favorite moronic deragatory term here'.

Tour 23-836 kills to 313 deaths.  

Total number of K/D in LW planes-
13 kills to 3 deaths.  

Surely a math wizard like you could check the percentages yourself, but I'll give them to you anyway.  

% of kills= .0155 (point ZERO ONE FIVE FIVE)
% of deaths= .0096 (point ZERO ZERO NINE SIX)

Boy, that man is a certified leather-wearing demon, huh?

Hell, in tour 22 he had more kills in Spitfires than he did in LW planes... (many, many, MANY more by the way) wouldn't that make him a "spitdweeb"/"shitfire pilot"/"insert your favorite moronic deragatory label here"?

Going back... tour 21..  Nope, still mainly Spits.  Where did you guys get the notion that everyone who has a complaint about any aspect of AH must be a die-hard pilot of German planes?  

/rant off.

Wow.  I sunk his CV, maybe if I coulda carried a few more bombs, I could've sunk his ego, too?  

[llbm_MOL]

As I always like to say in a situation like this........


Dont let the door hit ya in the arse


LLB OUT!!!!!!!!!!

That's 1.5% and .96%.  No need to exagerate <on purpose nor on accident>

It doesn't matter anyways... and these responses aren't harsh.  Just sending this one out the same way he came in.

I've always wondered why people post this stuff. Do they want us to see their POV? We won't. Do they want us to join them? We won't. We obviously like this playground. Like most other children out there, when somebody tells me my playground is shiet..... I have to tell him to pull up his pants and quit pissing on it and move on... there's always WB's if this playground is sooooo bad to you. I hear Wild Bill is back in town over there. Go join him.

Just my .02

LLB OUT!!!!!!!!

LOL, Deja, thanks.  I never was really good at math, but even a doofus like me should have caught that  .  

In any case 1.5% of the total hardly makes him a "luftwabble"... I thought one of the prime requisites for being a "luftwobble" was that one actually flew German planes.  

Guess not.

[Karnak]

Well Urchin,

1) Zygote has usually argued the pro-German line in the past.  I don't know what he actually flys, but his past arguments gave my post its direction.

2) I didn't use any slang terms.

3) His post is full of the same old BS about those horrible, invincible N1Ks and Spits.  Unfortunately for me, every time I try to varify their perfect e retention it doesn't happen.  They bleed e too, just not quite as much.  He was towing the party line of the most rabid German aircraft fans.

4) He states that the Spits, N1K2 and the La-7, all have artificial EZ modes built into them intentionally by HTC. HTC may have done this, but they have always specifically said otherwise and until somebody gives an awful lot more evidence that Zygote did, I'm going to take HTC's word on it.

Not taking it personnaly, but why was my post worse?
