sorry but in the current MA......SA is your goal.

lost alot of ACM when I came to AH.....but SA always gets better.

only thing I really still do use is the REVERSE on the guys who have alt. and speed adv......I do what RUDE wants:D

or just go hang around the DA....and learn to TnB

problem in the MA...is you absolutly never know when its a 'NOOB' or 'VET' your fighting.

Maybe that's because barrel roles will get your donut killed 90% of the time.

No offense but that's why you'll always just be a target.  SA alone isn't enough to win fights, just like ACM alone isn't enough either.

A few months maybe, to a year. I dont worry too much when I play cause every body gets shot down. I only fear those who have fancy moves. Its funny though, sometimes you'll run into someone you always fight with and then they pull off a new move and you know they have just been practicing that. Then their dangerous.

Unfortunetly for most in the MA ACM skill ends at vulching or having atleast 5 to 1 odds before engaging anything more then a goon.

LOL couldn't agree more with this one. It's a game and only as good as some programmers flight model. Which leave alot to be desired 99% of the time.

I find a barrel roll to be the perfect antidote to a HO. It put's you "out of plane" with the guy approaching at your 12 and it can cause them to bleed E trying to get a shot, while you maintain a higher E state with a gentle barrel roll.

Or you can just go hair on fire, screaming, "ME HAVE HISPANOS - DIE, DIE, DIE" Never seems to work for me though :)

But really its all about SA and not so much ACM in Aces High...

Split S
Hammerhead
Scissors
Chandelle
Loop
Zoom climb

It's not so much that some players know more secret moves than other players.  That's a pretty comprehensive list.  What distinguishes "successful" players is their ability to competently string together numerous moves appropriately given a particular situation -- it's a matter of choosing the correct move for any circumstance.  In addition, not everyone performs these moves as crisply as everyone else; timing and control matter.

"A.C.M."...I thought that stood for Auger, Crash and Mangle.  No?

ACM, SA what ever. It's all starting to get very boring in the MA as these day's it seem's to be nothing more then Quake in a world war 2 setting.

I can see a long break coming up soon.

Just sitting there rolling isn't too smart, but the 'barrel roll attack' or 'lag displacement roll' is effective in AH.
