What is "your game"?
What do you like to fly and how? Why? Are you a strategist? A furballer? A lone Ranger? A person who just likes blowing things up?
No flames. And unless another is paying your freight they have no right to.

Finding adversity and beating it.
There was a similar thread to this a while back. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,102960.0.html) For some reason I remember my first reply as what I typed, but with "anything else is a fluke" after it.

I really like to take up a P-39Q and engaging something faster and that can turn tighter than me and fighting him all the way down to the deck. I was in a fight 2 or 3 days ago that was similiar (but I dont know if a P-47D11 can turn inside it with full flaps) but me and a Jug-11 started at 12k, and ended up fighting all the way to the deck. He got on my 6, but I didn't run, I got on his, he didn't run. Learned a good bit more ACM watching him fight like when to chop throttle, when to only partially cut it.... :aok
If I've had a cruddy day, I'll take up a P-51 or a Spit 9...

A person who just likes blowing things up?
There you go. The thrill of making a good shot and seeing the plane or GV go "boom!".
-
"You should go play quake"! :lol
-
I like shooting people down, whether its in a plane, gv or ack gun. Will go anywhere to help with defense, join the occasional mission (always join squad missions). Basically, i'm here to have fun - in whichever way I can find it.

Well, AH depends more on learning and strategy than having the reflexes of a hyper-active 12 year old. You can become a better killer than 60-70% of the MA easily without any real talent, by bothering to learning the physics of flight, BFM, and the performance envelopes of the aircraft in the game.
Also, I actually like airplanes and WWII history...whereas honestly, I couldn't even tell you what Quake is about, other than knowing it is an FPS.
"You should go play quake"! :lol

Im usually a lone ranger that goes deep into an enmy cv furball sneaking around the cv then making my way back to the base in my d9 sneaking up on cons as they head toward our base on the deck :noid

What do I like to fly, and how? -I love the Yak, and the Zeke, although I'm marginal at best at fighting in them
-I fly the Jug, mainly in base-taking missions, and bombing GV's.
-B26's for bombing CV fleets.
-B17's for thier traditional roll in high-alt bombing, and I love the fights this generates.
Am I a strategist? Yes.
A person who just likes blowing things up? When it serves a practical purpose to hinder the other side, yes.
That's my $15.

Quake is open ended enough by the physics, level design and weapon mechanics that tactics are not all that useful. Counter Strike depends a lot more on it, but too small a portion of all the players use them.. There's other games like OFP but I've never played them enough.. I dunno about Quake Wars either.
The quake quip was what someone said when I suggested that the proportion of players who vulch merely because they like to see lots of poop and players blow up and burn or auger dismantled etc, is not a negligible one. The quip was probably implying that to like doing those things as in (e.g.) vulching, necessarily meant you were a quaker with no apreciation of warbirds, dogfighting, geometry and timing, tactics and strategy, and history, etc, or the sheer satisfaction of not merely out-doing the opposing players at any or all of those, but also watching them crash and burn like so much gore and spraying blood after a really sober but intense and close fight between two smart sword fighters.
Like an oasis surrounded harem after a long trek and battle campaign thru desert. Like what's her name getting her eye plucked out of the blue, at the end of the sword fight in Kill Bill. Like not merely beating someone at chess but getting them to throw a hissy fit and turning over the table with the board on it, or somehow beating them with an end-game move that spells FU on the board.. Lots more than just a mathematical reward. It's obvious to any halfwit that the fight is over after a check-mate.. What's really fun is making the most of that checkmate.

I guess Ive become a jack of all trades. One thing tho If Im working on a particular aspect of the game I will focus on it very narrowmindedly.
Doing any one thing all the time bores me. For me a good nights play includes Dive bombing, dogfighting, base taking, some GV'ing. I prefer organized team play with goals set. Im not in the upper echolons of dog fighters but when I do go up with dog fighting as my goal I do pretty good. Mostly my scores suck due to getting beat up dive bombing, or, bad positioning after dive bombing.
I could care less about rank and scores, thats another thing. The only perked airplanes I have an interest in is the Corsairs.
I'd like to become a better tanker. I think thats my next goal now that I have my dive bombing skills established. My best vehicle is probably the wirbel.
-
Flying and hunting alone in the Yak :devil
I've never been into anything else but fighters and furballs. I wouldn't even know the keys needed to operate a GV or open a bomb bay door in a buff. Infact I can't even remember the last time I used a rocket, and even then it was probably against a buff.. :lol

What do I like to fly, and how? -I love the P-40 and the attention or sometimes lack of attention it gets, and the 51D when I'm feeling the need for speed.
this generates.
Am I a strategist? Yes, sometimes
A person who just likes blowing things up? Duh, but I enjoy the competition and the WWII planes and tactics. Lately thought I just fly to hang out with good friends on all sides of the line. To many great people in the game not to play.
That's my $15.

200 :rolleyes:
And killing anybody who tries to hit my 17/24's by themselves!!! You know who you are!
-
I actully enjoy the full spectrum of what Ah has to offer. There are several aircraft i refuse to fly though (spit, nik, lalas and seldom doras and p51s). I dont do suicide runs either.
-
What is "your game"? umm, AHII
What do you like to fly and how?
F6F - my primary ride, I use it for everything, :rock
109k4 - I'm addicted to its climb rate
seafire - A great plane, was the first one i learned in and got my first kills with it
F4u-needs no ex-planation,
N1k- :noid
b-24-I like bombing with this one :rolleyes:
c-47 -I love a good goon sneek, even better yet is when you get a proxie in one!!
t-34/panzr/flak-if i do the vehicle thing these are my weapons
I do some BnZ but mostly i am a turnfighter. I love a good attack run, and I have mastered augering
Are you a strategist? Yes when I have squadmates on. If am am solo I usually wonder around aimlessly
A furballer? Sure if I come across one, but I dont look for teh furball
A lone Ranger? Almost never if i am I do bombing runs, or I go to the TA
A person who just likes blowing things up? yeah sometimes you just have to go on a mindless rampage[/color

I do what I want...

Flying and hunting alone in the Yak :devil
<S>...-Gixer
I like flying around and stealing Gixer's kills, only reason I play.

My favorite part of the game is when my sqaud plays the fighter game. First round we all up whatever plane, who ever lands the most kills gets to pick the next plane and we keep going till the furball has died :rock
-
Lately I've been having fun with the D model Hurricane hitting tanks. Just watchout for those pesky wirblies
-
Like Nilsen I enjoy the full spectrum of what Ah has to offer.
I have used pretty much all the planes, GV's and bombers in the game. I see no need to concentrate all my efforts flying just one plane and in one way.
I like to furball at times but get the most enjoyment out of working with others to accomplish end goals. Anything less for me would be a waste of my money.
It boggles my mind as to why some players insist on flying only one plane and concentrate only on high alt flying and picking. It's just to easy to do and with so much more to accomplish out of game why short yourself.
-
My "game" in AH is just like my pool game. I want to "run-out". A well played game of 9 Ball is a combination of getting perfect shape, shotmaking and playing defensively when faced with a situation where you cannot "run-out" the rack.
I approach air combat in the very same way. I play for shape by setting people up to be killed, I shotmake with pretty high deflection shots and when I am not in a position to do either one of those I will play a safety by consolidating position and energy until I am again in a position to "run-out". If I end up landing 5+ pelts I have essentially "won the rack". If I fail to land or kill less than 5 I've lost the rack. Landing multiple "racks" in a row is a beautiful thing and highly enjoyable. Just as running multiple racks in 9 Ball is...
-
changes all the time, but most sorties involve flying an F4U into area that needs some defending or our CV is attacking.
-
I've clubbed seals, I've had long fights where I wasn't sure who was going to win. I actually don't like that uncertainty, although the final victory is cathartic.
I find the more I know about flying, the more likely I am to be able to guarantee the outcome, and I like that. It doesn't mean vulching lemmings or having the "advantage" all the time. It means I like it when I can see with my mind the "crack" in whatever the opposition is doing, the crack where I can stick my lever and begin to work, if that makes any sense. When I can mentally see the needed steps to the desired outcome, and execute said steps smoothly, that is the most satisfying.
Or to put it more succinctly, making a good shot and seeing the target go "boom". LOL

I'm usually am in tower watching the map for base porkers or possible noes.
I especially like fending off CV attacks, because you don't have to climb to 15k to be co-alt with the enemy.
Flew the KI-84 alot last tour and planned to fly it again this tour, but got really tired of not being able to catch the runstangs and 190s etc.
So I'm back to the La7 as my main ride, as its a pretty good all around plane and the KI-84 is limited by its lack of speed.
Usually only use the wirble for a gv. I'm not very good in tanks etc.
With the exception of having to constantly climb to 15k to be co-alt and not get picked off by the runstangs and other alt monkeys, I don't see too much to complain about.
Its all good, :salute

My game is I like to fly with my squaddies and go on missions and the team player aspect . The hanger to me is a tool box with planes and load outs for the job at hand . and of course to go home after work and just relieve tension what better way then to cyber kill your opponents or cause mass distruction somewhere .Its all fun . :devil

The definition of hord is in there somewhere, I think :D

furballer for sure
i can BnZ i know what it takes,and what planes excel at it, but to me its just boring and seeings how im a poor shot,
TnB is where its at for me.
you will never see me in a GV,field gun,pt boat,bomber,
absolutely a lone wolf type guy, in AH and in the RW
not saying if i see a friendly con getting ganged, i would not help i most certainly would,
but i fly mostly towards the nme bases where they are taken off from and attacking our field elsewhere, if i see a green dar growing i will most often find a better fight else where, i hate fighting green guys for my kills,
because in all reality thats what it is about for me, killing; killing as many as i can before i go down, getting same pent up rage out.
and no one really getting hurt, or going to prison.
plus Aces High is the only game ive ever played that actually made me shake with Adrenalin :rock
been addicted ever since .

I'll tell you what. Instead of telling you what my game is I'll go look at your score and tell you what your's is.

Heavy Bombing at altitude with escorts. No dar sneaks, no gamey crap. Just historical missions.....although this game offers little incentive or reward to do so gameplay wise. Fun just the same though as, on the bright side, this game does bombers well. Hoping for one life squad based primetime events , or a full realism arena to anchor us here. Maybe someday.
