After few months off I came back mainly because I enjoy the competition and fun. Although I been in aces high since 2003 or so I still get the feeling
I am new to the game, every day I switch what im doing from dogfighting to Gv'ing and always learn more every time I play.
I do get burnt out like anyone else, after having my daughter my interest in the game dwindled until I figured the game was same every day: horde, pick, ho and ram. What I enjoy most about aces high and reason I won't leave is sense of pride I get flying around - kind of like day dreaming and wondering what it felt to fly a Me-109 back in the days or P-51. For few hours im off from work, it sure is an excitement to me still.

FSO and Scenarios.
Everything else is just practice. :aok

Well, I guess that Its my flyin buddies that keep me online..
But many of the guys I fly with have moved on to other things..
So the level of enjoyment has been dropping severely as of late..
It's not really the game that brings me back anymore, MA's are gettin pretty stale...
Too much of the same thing over and over...
Seriously doubt if a new plane of tank will change anything...
Woweee, I have a new plane, (or tank)... But I'm still doing the
same old operations... Hmmmm?
Need a new fix... the addiction is wearing off...

TV is crap. Adverts treat you like imbeciles. News is a list of the dead and I don't have enough money to get off me trolley down the pub every night. Oh, and winning the occasional fight.
-
hmmm :aok
-
Because the game is still fun.
-
because there's nothing like this on PS3
-
Because I'm busy waiting for SAT scores.
-

It is still fun. I don't think that will ever change.

I have played every type of game, you name it and I probably have dabbled in it. Nothing has ever grabbed my attention or my day dreams like Aces High has. It would take an absolutley astounding game to take me away from this addiction that we all love. :aok

repost! :)
I play because my wife bought me this cool japanese wwii pilot outfit. Soooo before i log on, i put on my "uniform" grab my japanese flag in one hand a glass of saki in the other. I then start screaming all the japanese i know, very loudly in quite the menacing tone. At this point the kids start getting scared, which in my mind means im "ready". I then start my flight, most the time i just get hoed by some niki, in a very
nasty manner i might add, resulting in me throwing the cat across the room, really hard. So take note: when you ho, a cat may die.
so, i just fly for fun and because i hate that cat.

It still fun. I back off from the game though. Before I used to go 250 hours a month on it. That was where I learn all the manuever etc and I practicing them so I spent a lot of time in the game. Now that I kinda get it down and what not and all the crying, it just only fun to log in once in a while to keep the game fresh =). Beside RL flying is way more fun!
-
For fun, only thing that has kept me playing these sort of games for the last 15 years.
ack-ack

Play?,, you say that like this is a game,, :lol

I've always been a WWII fan and love the history of our country at a time when the USA and it's warriors were the only ones that stood between evil Tyrants and world Domination. To some it's only a game but it puts you in the shoes of those Pilots and teaches you the limitations of a particular aircraft. It Challenges your Brain (unlike the boob tube) with tactics and trying to get better than that pilot that Hoed you. Once you get your first kill you're hooked. When my Wife says go play your game I respond and Correct her "It's a Simulation". :salute

Face it we're a bunch of sick sick people. It's way more thrilling when you pull that trigger and there is another person on the other end. Can't do that in real life no matter how much the ( insert whatever ) piss you off. :rofl
Ok, J/k. ( maybe )
The folks I "fly" with are really cool, that's why I come back plain and simple. Outside of my family life and work stuff the POTW channel is a nice place to just relax and curse alot and furfill my dorky obsession with combat aircraft I've had since I was a kid. Waystin described it best, its like Cheers, where everybody knows my name do do do do do do......doooooo :D
-
Sometimes, its just to see what I can get away with. For instance, taking 3 P47N's - loaded with gas up to 30k and flying all the way to HQ, baiting 163s and staying at 400 mph the entire time through their territory uninterceptible - just to piss someone off. I think someone said that was the point of this game - as a massive mind diddly.

And there's me wondering why it was called World war....God bless...Hollywood :salute

Besides, the game design, features, and updates :cool: I am stuck with flying with my squadees Gruppe Outlaws (past and present) for over 7 years now, and wouldn't have it any other way. I generally fly Rooklyn and have good friends there that stretch even longer back to when everything was a "cheat" :rofl (How did your Hurricane catch my Tempest? How did your JUG out turn my Spitfire? How do you keep killing my tank and I can't see you?)
I don't ask those questions anymore, because if you ask with the right tone, there are great folks here that can break it down and give you insight and even the correlation to actual pilot tactics and how employed. I guess to sum it up, I learn something, both about human kind and about skills and discipline it took the Aces in World War II to survive and claim victory.
:salute Chilli

<--- rank, scoring, making fun of people on ch 200 and irritating my wife by wasting time :rofl

Didn't you know? The UK, USSR, Australia, France and China and all the other Allied countries were only there for morale support.[/sarcasm]
-
Because it makes my wife mad. My squaddies and FSO as well.
-
Squad play and FSO. If we go another update without the He 111 I might just have to quit, though. :D
-

Without US aid all those countries would have been rolled over (France WAS) God Bless the US :angel:
-
80% or more of the German military was destroyed by the USSR. Simple fact, but always glossed over by American history. The D-Day invasion was a side show in comparison to the fighting in the East.
-

Without the help of the USSR we may have been rolled over by Germany... or without the help of the UK... even without the help of the French and Polish partisans, Chinese, or Australians... and certainly, many, many more American servicemen would have been killed.

I stay with it because of my guys I started my squad years ago with 1 other player and after awhile it grew and grew now close to 3 years later i wouldnt change a thing its always somethin new and if i get bored flyin the same old thing i'll change it up and have to learn somethin else. my squaddies make it fun its like an extended family to me.We started flying FSO and that opened up a whole new way of playing.<S>
-
Ok Ok we all did it together! Woo Hoo! :rolleyes: But at least we gave back our half of Germany and Freed it's Citizens to prosper unlike the years of Misery that Socialists have caused. :cool:
-
I live in the middle of Fing no where nothing else to do.
-

What he said, I also do it for squaddies and just to see how many 1v1s I can get every single night.
I think the highest I've recorded is three in one night, without going to the DA. :rolleyes:
-
Well, it isn't for the graphics that's for sure. It's for the community itself and all those fights either 1v1 or 1vmany that get your heart pounding and you come away with a severely shot up plane and the win. That and the continuous enjoyment of watching a single melon sized round intercept another fighter. :devil
I don't need anything else.
<S>...-Gixer

That reminds me, you need to update your skins. :D
-
Why do I play?
My dear man . . .
Because I can not possibly sleep through the night, unless I've had a good beating!
-
I've been wanting to get back into the game for the past few years but just haven't done it for whatever reason.
-
I play for the community, it makes any average game awesome. If you need help I garintee that someone will be there to help you, you don't find that in many other games. I think it was two days ago, but anyways, I think it was Mjtalon and someone else having a disagreement on ch. 200. They went to an empty base fought and (I forget who won) they both had a great time. They settled they're disagreements with a nice clean fight and both came out smiling, having learned something new. It's hard sometimes not to get along with the community. I'm proud to be addicted to this game, as I love it so much.
:rock to all AHers :rock

I quit for a month, but after a few beverages I got bored one night and logged back in. I still hate this game, but I enjoy hating it.
