How many "old-guard" are not leaving AH? My own squad has two: Syko @ 9 years, & Bustr who has been around AW & AH 12+ years (maybe even before they invented planes, maybe even before dirt was invented-LOL).
-
Still here.... waiting to see what happens next.
-
Alll depends on the individual, I guess..
-
Not "old" (2004), but staying and playing when I can.

I'm still here.

Our squad has a quite a few (ghi, alka, slammer, busher, joker, ext.), and we are having a blast most every night. I hope these guys (and Gal) aren't going anywhere!
-
12 Years and counting!
-
10 years here. And gameplay is much worse than it used to be. It's the people I've known over that span plus the rare good fight that keeps me here.

I love this genre. I've been doing it for 18+ years and I would never leave. I constantly read about WWII Combat Aviation, I write about it. I study the strategy and tactics of it. AH is an elegant virtual representation of it, with something for everyone. Sure it could be improved and expounded upon. But, it is very easy to read about WWII air combat in the afternoon and play AH in the evening and experience the connective tissue between the two in a visceral and compelling way. That is why I've always played, why I play now and will continue to play for until the day I die. I look forward to the day we are all dogfighting while wearing bio-feedback suits and VR goggles. :rock
-
I stay because after wadding through all that crap, you find a good fight now and then, and after all, thats what its all about.
-
My squad and the fun the laughs they still provide me...
(and anytime i kill WoT....ch 200 is priceless :devil)
-
Not much really. Only decent fight I've had in a bit was a p38j vs SkatSr's P51b, I was surprised he stuck around for the fight as I've heard he has a "picky" reputation but 1 good fight out of dozens of encounters is mighty sad.

Please try to stay on subject Bongaroo. Not sure what relevance your comment has to this thread Sir.

Love WWII AC and this is the only game that has satisfied my expectations. The amount of ac in the game is great and the fact I can jump in a GV, SB or the various types of ACK is awesome.
-
i am still riding out my 2 weeks lol but my squad keeps me around for the most part. all the online friends i have made on here are always a good reason. i dont tend to have a problem finding a good fight. if it starts to look like a horde night i fly to a base and start a fight. if i dont laugh too much i will up a 262 and fly thru hangers till i blow up just so i can laugh. for me its all about what you do to make this game fun. Salute all been kicking dirt for 7-8 years on here and i am still having fun

Everything to do with it piggy.
-
As often as I get to play I'll never burn out.
Plus, it's more than a game to me. It's a simulation and I treat it as such.
Some think I take it too seriously but I think it makes me a better player.
Instead of the endless, mindless furball type play, I prefer the more "real life" mission style of play. As long as the mission gets accomplished with minimum loss it's a win in my book and it gives me the warm fuzzies.

I didn't know we could leave... :confused:
"You can check out anytime you like, but you can neeeveeer leeeave" :rock :cool:
-
Been here 3+ years in one form or another. This game is the bomb. It does not get old to me as I keep getting better (slowly). As I progress I learn new ways of approaching the tactics and strategies. In this way it is always new. It makes me appreciate many of the veterans immensely! :salute
As much as I appreciate the masters I have no respect for the score manipulators. Z-E-R-O. I think they are are losers. Heck, their $18/month. They need to know only newbies think they can fly. Everyone else knows better and how to detect them. :eek:
My biggest preference in change is to see HiTech add more planes sooner rather than later. :aok
Rock on,
WT

I just can't get enough of dogfighting.

I am planning to stay till i get rank #1 in something. Even if it takes me 40 years.

Hanging on by my fingernails. Gameplay due to player base has sucked wind as of late. When you get picked, in the DA, you know there's a problem. The Aces pretty much are the only reason I stay.
guys.
12-13 years now, since AW days. JB's

6 years here, along with TwentyFo, sniper, curlew, grackel,INEXX all been here between 3 and 5 years may not be considered the old guard but close enough. we stay because of the squad and the friendships we have formed.

Actually I find it very relevant, a lot of us value that occasional "good fight" enough to hang around.
-
Waystin,
Like Syko always says about Pigs, "They come and they go" Maybe the drop out of some of these pilots is making way for the new era of AH, might as well adapt and try to be the best, thats what makes this game fun
I OWN ALL JunkyII :salute

Its easy Snaphook it just takes alittle more smack talk on 200 :rock :D

LOL that's funny. I've decided to do that exact thing. It works sometimes. Smack talk a guy into a decent fight.... who cares if he pounds his chest afterwards (this is just a game). At least it was fun.
-
I'm relatively brand-new to this game :D :D :D
Good fights are fun, but they don't need to be (and for me, they aren't) the centre of or the objective of the game.
I'm just amazed that so many people don't seem to find any fun or 'thrill' in other things in this game, e.g. just flying to have fun, shooting up GVs in B-25s, driving GVs, flying bombers, intercepting 20K+ bombers in P-47Ns, etc etc. There's just SO MUCH to do!
-
Not to derail, but I feel I need to address those bemoaning the lack of good fights nowadays compared to the fond, if often skewed, recollections of the past. By good, I am presuming you mean 1 vs 1s, although in my opinion there are many varieties of "good fights" other than a 1 vs 1s. I honestly get as many 1 vs. 1's as I want in the MA. The secret is to fly a mediocre-poor maneuvering plane, relatively low and engineer the circumstances so as to force an engagement upon or isolate a dance partner.
Certainly, if you fly an Lgay7 or Dweebfire16 highish into the middle of a crowded furball there's not a snowball's chance in hell you're going to get a 1 vs. 1. But, if you're lacking in them, analyze what you could do to improve your chances, because trust me, it's not that difficult to create the fights you want with some imagination, plane selection and tactics. I am hard pressed to find anyone that won't have a go 1 vs 1 vs. my Typhoon, every plane in the set feels they have a reasonable chance of success against it, so I almost never get run away upon.
If you're flying a dweebfire, Lgay7, Niki or Hurricane etc. and are complaining about 1 vs 1's, runners, gang-banging or picking, you're just proving you're an idiot and I'll be laughing at you. If you're good enough to be so picky you feel the need to whine about the circumstances you find yourself in you're good enough to compete in a less uber plane. Then, as if by magic, your dreams of 1 vs. 1s as far as the eye can see will be fullfilled.

Biggamer was trying that with me the other night. He expected me to zoom up from take off to his altitude at 10k so he could have an easy kill. When I told him that if he wanted to fight, he'd have to come down to my altitude from his perch. He then complained how timid I was and that I was a runner, yada yada yada. When he did come down, I reversed on him with an overshoot and blew off his wing tip and then took my merry old timd killing him, laughing at him all the while. He then called me a runner but I pointed out that if I was a runner, why was he crying from the tower. He was quiet after that.

Maybe these people have done that and don't find it any fun anymore. Some of us have been at this for 15+ years and we've pretty much done all that is possible in these sort of games and the 'good fight' is the only thing that is enjoyable to us.

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl My first and only experience in DA was I was looking to fight a spit with my f6. I found the spit and we had it going on and then I get picked LOL. I posted about it too. It turned into a long thread.
-
I'm still here - working on some cool stuff! :)
Just make sure that cool stuff is a revamped mossie :)
Having a fight or sortie with someone i recognise from years ago is one of the highlights of the week for me. Regardless of the outcome + how the kill arrived it's always nice to have a chat instead of some ego-warrior ranting on ch200 or via PM. I stay because i enjoy creating overshoots and reversals, i tried earlier this tour to fly sensibly and rack up some kills but after 10hours i just couldn't do it anymore, i got bored and tired of it. I've since decided to to fly the mossie for my main ride for a couple of tours.

Last place I can go to feel like a kid a again!...and its fun watchin other 30/40/50ish yr olds actin like kids again too. Now no one shoot me down or I'm gonna tell about your dweeb ho tardness on channel 200:
and if that doesn't work i'll tell my mommy.(she can beat up your mommy with one hand tide behind her back!) :rofl
-
4-5 years here and I took big break one year. But im back and hooked. You learn alot ingame/fourms from people like guppy35. I also stay cause I have a great time with my squad.

You might wanna look over my tour stats (A8Moray). This tour I haven't even flown one of the birds you talk of once. Not once. While I find your comment slightly demeaning and offish, I understand your angle. Before typing, next time maybe do a little research.
I haven't seen the inside of a Spit in probably 6-8 months, save for once sortie in a Seafire in defense of a port, and killed the same three guys dry spawning in LVT's 16 times. Other than that, I haven't upped a spit in that long. I do like my Tempests, but I fight them, not run. Basically, I fly four A/C. Ki84, Tempest, A6m2 (the early zero), and Yak-9T. With the exception of the Tempest, all are HIGH eny rides.
-
I've asked myself that same question...why in hell am I wasting time and money on this silly game? While I've not been playing this game very long, I have a very good reason to hang around just a tad longer. That "reason" is simply because of several hilariously funny/witty/intelligent members of the 71st squad. I won't mention any names, for fear of embarrassing them. When and IF these people decide to vacate..I'll be outta here faster than stink on (you can fill in the rest). :D

Yea, I have no clue who you are nor did I attempt to look up people's statistics, I don't have to. ENY doesn't determine how well suited to attracting 1 vs. 1's your ride is necessarily, it's more about relative maneuverability, climbrate and acceleration compared to the average plane in the set. I was speaking generally in that 9 out of 10 people who incessantly piss and moan about picking, ganging and lack of 1 vs1s are also cruising around at 15k in Dweeb16s, Lgays and the like. But, one of your rides, the Zeke for example, may be a high ENY ride, but it's also a horrible ride to attract 1 vs 1's with. You're going to get slashed to death, no one will get within arm's reach of you and you lack the speed to force a fight...

I just got back after a layoff of several years. I wanted to be flying during all that time though just was unable to due to circumstances. Now I'm staying because of the re-learning of the acm and how to fight and win. I'm staying for the furballs. I'm staying for the having fun and flying with my squaddies, all of whom are also old guys from the earliest days of dos AW who still fly all the time. I stay because it's great to run into old buddies from AW and chat with and fight them all. And despite the fact that my skills aren't back up to par yet and I'm not much competition, I stay for the occasional great fight. Truthfully though, that's just the icing on the cake. I love sims and I love this game. I agree with Zazen (who I also used to chat with some in aw, though I don't know if he'll remember me) that I intend to be playing these games until I can't anymore.
-
I believe Zazen was just making more of a "general statemet", not specifically about you moray. ;)

I'm staying until I kill all the spitfires! :furious

Hiya, good to see you again too man!
We've got more and more old timers showing up these days, and several more on the verge too. Squadnights we get a dozen or so Muskies up lots of times now.

Been here for 22 years since campaign 1 of the original Amiga/Mac Air Warrior. (Yes I know HTC didn't develop AW but several HT'ers did play it as I remember flying with them, and everything that I've play since then, i.e. Confirmed Kill, Warbirds, and AH were developed by HTC.)
I stay because a) I have no life and b) I no longer buy or play boxed PC games because of paranoia of the intrusive DRM included with them.
I don't really think the community has changed a whole lot over the years; it's just bigger. Bad things happen now but bad things happened 22 years ago (like people taking fully manned bombers to enemy fields, taking out the ack, landing, and taxiing around vultching people with the gunners).
What has changed, perhaps, is my tolerance towards the community. After 22 years you grow just a smidge tired of, for example, people giving "Alt-F4" as the answer to every newbies question. Oh, and one other thing I'm really tired of is the same old terrain texture tiles over and over and over. But then HTC have said they wish to do a terrain overhaul so I'll stay and wait.
-
I have stayed because I enjoy the game. I don't always agree with how some play but its there 15 bucks :aok
I think the Old Guard maybe im one of was use to the AW ways. Only 3 bases to capture, Front shots where disabled. There were draw backs to AW also. Take the Hit Bubble, Sorry this base sector is full, Please up from another base message. I due hope this game doesn't go down the same road AW did. :furious
Crims
-
Sorry this base sector is full, Please up from another base message.
Ha, that is funny, I forgot all about that!!
-
Partly I stay because I still find that same excitement. Often I find it in someone new to the game who has much to learn.If I can help them for half an hour, get them headed up the right path, and share some of that same thrill. Well, life is good.
Partly because unlike a game that is static, that never changes. AH is very very much alive. It has a different feel to it with each year passed and each new plane released. Each new terrain brings out new tactics and techniques.
Look at how much just the wirblewind changed gameplay!
Partly because I have been incredibly blessed with a very very good bunch of people to fly with.
Not just my squadmates, although they are top notch, and I can't say enough good things about the 332nd Flying Mongrels. But also the other people, those I fly with, and against.
Sure there are flys in the ointment somedays. And somedays I deal with frustration, mostly that I can't fly like I used to. But hey, its 30 below up here in Dakota this morning. Can't do much in that without losing parts that won't grow back. Yet in AH the skys are sunny, the planes are hot, and the living, well its pretty dang good. As much as its changed over the years, this community is still very very good. Like the game, this community has changed. It changed a lot with the big influx of ex AW pilots. And while we may have for a time bemoaned the changes, those same pilots have brought a wealth of knowledge and skill, and ideas. It will continue to change as the times change.
And who knows what tommorow will bring?
Rock on HTC you keep on making it and for as long as I can I'll keep on flying it.

I actually liked the zone limits, it did prevent mass hording at the scale we see in AH today. I agree with the hit bubbles in AW, hated it especially on the P-38J. Due to its size, the P-38J had the same hit bubble size of the B-17. Glad we don't have them in here.

First reason I stay. Scenarios
2nd. Great guys in my squad

I've made in Aces High.
Some of the Oldies from AW...AKAK,falcnwing,fencer, sheesh to many to list..TC, Whels, Mute cripes way to many to list.

Here since AH1 Beta Tour 1 (whenever that was) and I don't currently have any plans to leave. What keeps me coming back is the same reason I enjoy furballs, and air to air fights over other aspects of the game.
I'm still learning, my fighting and ACM is far, far from perfect and as long as there are new things to learn that make me a better cartoon fighter pilot I figure I'll probably keep coming back for more abuse. At the rate I'm going I may be decent by the time I'm dead.

Lol... true... just a little too quickly after my initial post. Pretty sure he meant it that way, since no one else said what I said... but c' est l vie.

To irritate the rest of us! :rofl :rofl
-
I think AH is a great game. I think the reason i like it is because you cannot master this game. You can get good at it but you will never master it. That is what keeps this game fun unlike other games that can be mastered. The game changes everyday and just when you think you learned something, someone shows you another way of doing it. :salute
-
Who was that then?
I've been lucky enough to run into several old sticks the past couple of weeks- only yesterday i bumped into some dweeb in a tempest. :D I've also seen batfink, morpheus, flyboy, hajo, former bop squadmates and several others i have forgotten to list.
-
For all the reasons everyone else has. Plus there is this weird part of me that thinks if I quit, I would have to face the fact that I spent a large part of the past 13 years or so sitting on my butt in front of the PC. I cant do that..so I have to keep playing!

I haven't flown in 6 months now, I'm to busy with studies of the advanced staff course of the Dutch defence organization i'm in right now (1 year course). I might be back in 5 months though (be ware of the k4 with "foreigner" on the side :devil)

After almost 7 years away... I got drunk one night and thought I was surfing a porn site ( cant see very well anymore.
realized that my old saitex stick fell off the desk and onto my lap. thought so here I am and went with it... former flight sim addict that fell off the wagon :D
Having fun and getting frustrated all at the same time. just like old times. guess im in for another 6+ year TOD. :salute

I stay just for the fun of it, just dont get to spend the 400 to 600 hours on it a month I did when I first started out, LOL, but I get on every chance I get to go home, used to even play in this 18 wheeler but dont have the dc/ac inverter in this truck to run the game computor and tried it on this lap top and it really sucked, guess I will stay as long as hitech, pyro, and waffle are here. Come to think of it I was playing the game for a year I think before I even found out about the bullentin board and that is when it really got fun watching and reading this gets me a lot of laughs

I already told you, telling everyone on the BBS how old I am won't make me tell you the secret of how 999000 suckered my squad in AW to fly inverted behind his B17 so he could shoot all of us down by himself. Anyway I think 999000 is older than me. And I only borrowed DAMN Slidr's Genie dialup account when he was at work. I think that was in 88 when he worked for WYSE............. :noid

Off and On for 12 years,,, you just cant find a game that provides the camaraderie and interaction that this one provides.
:salute
Killing someone like Dadsgun and hearing about it on 200 :devil , then arguing for a while before he gets revenge twice over :uhoh keeps me playing. Hopefully my short 1-1/2 yrs will turn into a decade plus like these oldtimers before Hitch Jr refuses to have WWII craft and it becomes TieFighter on-line :frown:
:salute old fogies keepin us youngins in-line. Even you, Fugitive :salute.

Hi OM,
I'm glad you're still here. One of these days I'll make it to the AvA before everyone goes to bed.
Does September 2006 count me as "Old Guard"
Cheers,

How many "old-guard" are not leaving AH? My own squad has two: Syko @ 9 years, & Bustr who has been around AW & AH 12+ years (maybe even before they invented planes, maybe even before dirt was invented-LOL).
Because they suck? Who know's but what a dumb post :eek:

Anyone that is in a squadron that spends the majority of their time over furball lake in the DA at 20k just looking to pick really has no place in commenting about someone else's skill level. Especially when the person making the observation lacks skill themselves.

I am trying to figure out who you are (never heard of you), to see if you are even able to comment on the vets abilities that are posting in this thread. I would like to suggest in the future that you add something to the conversation or put a cork in your pie-hole. If you want to be a part of this community, first thing you need to learn is a little respect young man.

I've only been here for 4 years so I don't qualify as a "vet".
However the link below is why I stay.

It's 2:20 so it may take a minute or 2 to buffer.
O ya and btw I know this tune has been used many times before for AH films
but it just goes so well with the footage. :aok

Hi Mates
I've been here since Beta. 249RAF came over from War Birds as a Squad. There are only a few of us left.
They key thing I like about AH is the diversity. I can fly, drive a tank, or man the acks and big guns on ships.
Other plus, a great gang of chaps working on new skins, sounds, etc., all the time and getting better and better every time they come out with new planes and sounds.
I have also participated in WWIIOL. Can't compare.
AH beats them all.
Cheers

He doesnt know anyone posting in this thread, either. The lake in the DA might as well be the setting for a totally different game.

Wherein lies the majority of the problems we have today.

Oh,
