After reading countless threads about things that people feel make gameplay bad or how this and that should be changed, I was wondering is there anyone besides myself that enjoy the game just the way it is?
Everytime I log on I always seem to wind up having a good time.

I get frustrated at times and wish some of the easier click of a mouse button things were fixed or altered but overall my addiction to the game and good squad mates keeps me coming back.
It's my only hobby

yup the Game, :uhoh can I say that :uhoh is AWESOME. :aok

Well I like that I can fly fighters, bombers and attack planes, drive GV's and PT's, man field and ship guns, kill people, blow stuff up and capture bases either alone or with a group of others and do it all against real human opponents.
Really... it should be possible to find something fun to do when you log on.
-
I find that I enjoy the game much more when I realize I cannot be everywhere at once and that no one else can either. In other words don't take full responsibility for the arena and do what you enjoy.

I always had fun in H2H. :t

Yeah, i like it. Sure i get frustrated and mad about it alot, but the thrill of the hunt and kill keeps me coming back for more.
-
I love this game.... i really do.

AH is and always has been a great way to unwind for an hour or so. If the game went bye bye, I'd be very very bummed.

Except for being extremely outnumbered--the game is very good.
We've lost a lot of our veterans and alot of knights got frustrated and left...but those who have decided to stay are definitely a rare breed. (+) Precision, POTW, 71st RAF, Damage Inc., Pigstompers, 1/2/3 Richthofen, C-Hawks, and some others have stayed and are an honor to fly with.
Sure, a tip o'the hat and props to HTC for a job well done on the coding, graphics, modeling, and extreme attention to realsim on how each plane actually should handle...but it's definitely the PEOPLE...the knights we fly with who make the game for me.
My squaddies in the 77th are AWESOME!
It makes my day to log in and know these guys are there.
Yeah....it's definitely the people.

The excitement today is the same as when I first logged in all those years ago. I love it!
The only things I don't like are unchallenged heavy bombers coming over and also watching my countrymen taking off from a capped field to be easy pickings for the enemy. But that's not a function of the game. That's just them getting excited when the enemy shows up.
It's the best $15 dollars I spend each month!
Wait...there's pizza.....and ...booze....ummm...it's in the top 5 or so of the best money I spend each month.

This game is everything I expected it to be when I was signing up and I'm definitely enjoying it. For things that I find frustrating I have a .squelch nickname command.

I still enjoy this game, that being said this latest political correctness discussion has left even me a ardent supporter of HTC, scratching my head and wondering why one of the most entertaining parts of the game, IE the banter on 200 which I CHOOSE participate in must be curtailed to this level. This new broad ruling is in my humble opinion gotten too the point of absurdity. I know the forum rules and I know all the other rules I have accepted to participate in this game, I called Carrie one day in customer service and I believe her quote was " OH my gosh you have been a member forever" I also know that I deserve no more attention than any other customer I only offer this as example of A veteran player that has trouble understanding the latest direction of the game. I don't know if I am alone in this opinion or not but as long time member I thought I would offer it as a example only.
The opinions expressed are the authors only, And Yes I got muted last night too LOL :cool:

It like a relationship to me.

OK other games suck....I love you Aces High!

I know from personal experience Stickpig, you're just a sick individual. :D

I love this game.... i really do.

If it wasn't for the...shall we say... idiots of the game, it'd be 100%. As it is, I give it a 90% approval rating!
As a real pilot, I find things like ho-ing, bomb-and-bails, or ditching to run somewhere else on the map, annoying as hell. What I think bothers me most is that staying alive isn't a priority. (I should clarify by saying that a head-to-head frontal attack is different than a 'I get to ram a perk plane' maneuver.)
You lose sight of that once in the cockpit of a real aircraft, and you're most likely dead, permanently. Its too easy to simply respawn in a perfectly new airplane. If dying 'in game' actually meant something, either points or time, players would fly smarter and hopefully lose that mindless banzai-charge mentality.

Stick,
If you think I don't enjoy AH, you are mistaken. I simply know how much better it can be. :salute

Check out the link in the quote in my post. It will take you to a post by the son of an Air Warrior that died over a decade ago. Read what he wrote. For some, this really is more than just a game. :) :salute

Why I'm starting to (somewhat) agree with the old salts:
Y'all know I'm not one to try to put DA rules on a multi-bandit situation. I'm not going to tell anyone they have to fight low in the weeds all the time, or never extend in any situation, never call for a clear or clear a six, or never double attack a bandit with a wingman.
BUT, when in a nights farting around the various arenas, you pick up bandits on your long six, you turn back to engage an airplane which has rough parity with yours across the envelope plus some E on you, and they literally turn around and run, they don't try to turn fight, they don't try to E fight, they don't even try to HO, they turn tail the instant its apparent you are coming back towards them with bad intent, and this happens not once but three times in an evening, I say TARFU! :huh
Some decent guys are not enjoying the game because sometimes it seems there is almost 0 detectable interest in air combat. I think they are wrong to call the glass completely empty when its half-full, but they have a point.

Well, after 2yrs plus, the game has definately lost some of its shine
for me.. It relieves occasional boredom, but thats about it now..
Was just on, got some kills, got killed some too.. Same'O Same'O..
Just can't find the enthusiasm that I used to have for it... I took
last tour off, now I'm back online again... Hmmm, no change in
anything that really matters.. Same old stuff, new tour...
Its still worth the 15 bucks so far, but it needs some new evolutions
to avoid getting stale... Just a new plane or tank/gv won't do..
I'd be willing to pay MORE, for a premium version, (more sim, less game)
Just being honest!

I love this game. But I find myself bored half the time. I spend most of my nights in the DA fighting agaisnt the hordes there with some 1v1sa and 2v2s with the squad. the MA just doesnt do much for me any more, thank God I got into the FSOs now, I live for friday nights worth the $15 right there. Wish the AvA would get popular enough later in the evening, Id spend 99% of my time in there.

I enjoy this game just the way it is!
Despite the fact that these boards are infested by the "usual suspects" who are constantly telling everyone why they shouldn't.

Geez, for some one that doesn't care...you seem to have a hard time leaving it alone. :)

I like the game :aok , sure I wish I was alot better than I am :(, Sure I wish I could find more good 1v1 in the air, sure I would rather come upon more clean first merges, rather than taking a canopy full of lead. But when you do find that good 1v1 its great, even though I lose all of them, its still a great rush.
I've been around almost a year now, sadly I'm a slow learner, but I still come back ( way too much lately :D ) and log on. Looking for a good air or gv battle, I don't say alot but I do listen, and try to take it all in. I try to learn from what I see others do, and what I do, ( or don't ) and move forward from there.
I really like and respect most all the folks I fly and gv with, and also those who are on the other side :salute. I know I'm one of the odd ones out here ( so to say ) but for all the faults people can come up with about the game I still try and look for the positives. And yes I agree that even in my short time I have seen a change in game play, attitudes, and tactics. Not all of it bad, but by no means is it all good.

NB....
I'm gonna put a disclaimer on my posts LOL
"Not directed towards NB"
I posted this awhile back and it has re surfaced

Hey I enjoy the game. :D
Some nights though it seems like there are no fights to be found. Either side has superior numbers and its just a high alt picking gang fest. Tonight I couln't find a single fight, I was dodging P51's, 190's, typhs, and even the spits and 109's didn't want to stay and turn a bit. Basically spent the whole night dodging high alt late war planes zooming by at 450mph over and over. :frown:
Even upped at empty base and flew over to another empty base, soon I had 2 spits and a LA fighting me like I'll end the world if I'm alive much longer. :huh

Still having fun........ But I always have. :O
