Just wanted to hop in and say thank you to all the players that have kept this game alive over the years. AH2 played a critical part in my life, and the friends I made on here during those years got me through some of my darkest days when I didn't actually have friends IRL. Every now and then, I get an itch to play, and it makes me happy to hop online and see that the game is still going. So, thank you to all those that have stuck around through the years.
Needless to say, I've come back again, and I hoped to stick around for a little while. I look forward to hearing from you guys, even if you currently don't play! See you in the skies!

taken me close to a year and still got a way to go but I'm getting re set to fly again. Just trying to get my stick settings right where I'm flying smooth again and my eye down offline. Then TA for a bit. The both feet back in :)

I just returned 2 months ago, before that it was 2010. I got VR this go around. Got 2 Oculus Quests 2 used, pretty much brand new for about 200 each. Give it a chance and time to adjust like Tracker IR but with depth perception. Awesome.
Good to see you back and have fun. It’s been a blast coming back and flying with the guys. The more people we can get back the better.

It feels really good to be flying again. The rust is slowly coming off. I keep throwing myself at as many targets as possible, so I’m dying…a lot :rofl.
I’ve noticed fights are hit or miss. They tend to die out a lot faster than they used to, but with lower player count that’s understandable.
My frustration may show at times, but I genuinely do enjoy being back. I think I’m expecting something I’m never going to get, but I’ll make fun however I can. :rock :rock

IMO, the game is a bit more challenging than it used to be. I think it makes it very tough on older players returning, expecting not to have to be as patient as you do today. Nowadays you have more pilots in easy fast late war planes who don't really understand ACM, so they use it as a crutch. With less players in slower planes to shoot, it can make it frustrating, especially when a squad is using those tactics in #s.
The goal for you and returning players I'd encourage is. To practice and get better at defense ACM and overshoot kills. This will help your game tremendously. Do some 1 v 1s in the match play and don't be scared. I know you aren't, but for other players as well. This skill very much helps me in the MA to be more successful and escape the combat area for another run.

This is about the most accurate explanation. That’s always been my fighting style anyway. Low and slow and sucker in the high ones.

I love you, too, Britty

Hogwash. It's not more challenging than it used to be.

The only thing that makes things more challenging is the lack of fights. With 100 players in the arena you have 30% in vehicles, 10% in bombers, and the rest in fighters. Of those in fighters you have to split them to three fronts which is why more often than not one team doesn't get any fights because the other two are fighting each other on one front. On top of that half of them are in yaks!
Old guys returning pop in hoping for the target rich skies we use to have and are sorely disappointed.
