I apologize for all of the ill will expressed in some of the posts above.  Some people that play Aces High are just bitter.  Please understand they are the minority and don't really represent the rest of us.

To adress your immediate concerns:
  • Verbal abuse
[/b]The verbal abuse is minimal and usually restricted to the few bad apples you'll find anywhere.  People like myself and my squad take time out of our schedule to reprimand the individuals displaying that type of behavior and have really curtailed it.
  • Kill Stealing
[/b]This is very difficult to do and is also despised by myself and my squad.  I've only actually seen it happen to me once and I didn't even have to say anything because everyone else around me explained the pheux pas to the individual who promptly apologized and we all hugged.
  • Runwaying
[/b]I assume you are reffering to something called "vulching".  That is if you're talking about the act of shooting aircraft on the runway before they have a chance to launch.  Once again, this seldomely happens.  People just don't like to fight with that kind of unfair advantage.  Most of us will just ask politely for the enemy to let us know when he (or she) is ready for us to engage.

I hope I've been of some help here and I encourage you to give the game a two week trial (absolutely free).

Enjoy the AH experience!

1. Are you over 14?

2. Do you have a hi pitched voice that hurts others when you talk on vox?

3. Do you have a joystick?

My experience of horses who need to be dragged to to water is that they don't drink once you get them there. "Give me a reason to subscribe". Well, there's a 2-week free trial. If someone flies that, and then still comes to the BBS looking for reasons to subscribe, they don't sound like long term HTC customer prospects to me.

And in case no-one realised, Mini D was taking the piss. ^^

AH2 is due soon, presumably before the end of the month.  

You never have to subscribe to play offline and there is always free 8 player Head-to-Head.

Its not worth it unless you like to travel in packs and fly Spitfires, or go on fighter/bomber raids to pork airbases and auger after you've dropped all your bombs and shot your rockets.

Save your money and buy a good racing sim instead.

You're not talking about Air Attack are you?

Cos that's about as similar to AH as a chocolate frog is to an alligator.

Coming from MiniD, that is the funniest thing in the thread.

Sorry.  Can't help you with your "...subscribe?" dilemna.  Some decisions, such as whether to play an online game or not, are just too plain simple and easy to make on ones own without having to ask anyone for help.

 However if I'm wrong and you really are the type who needs this help then assuredly your best bet is to ask that person who puts your Garanimal matching shirt and pant set out each morning ;)

Kill Stealing......

You Cant "steal" a kill...either you killed it or someone else did:). I'm always amazed at guys chasing a burning wreck down to the deck to "steal" it. Think I've "lost" 2 or 3 in 3+yrs. However two things to vcome into play:

1) 1st is the "spitty going down" "kill caller" who constantly announces his kills on vox...of course 90% of the time you'll find the above mentioned spitty climbing up your 6 after you broke off the "dead" plane....and your a "kill stealer" after you wack the pesky bugger.

2) the "kill you stealer"who zooms down into the front of the conga line and takes out you (and three other "good guys") with killshooter milliseconds before colliding with his target who scoots merrily away with 4 extra pelts:):)

BTW...I agree with beetle...just sign up or go away...you sound like to much of a whinner to me.
