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:
[/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.
[/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.
[/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!
