Because I can speak with people who have at least the intelligence of a pea. High school is too frustrating, so this is a place to realize that humans really are not scum.

Fighting Tigers, Midway, Battle of Britain, Flying Leathernecks, In Harms Way, 12 O'Clock High, and they haven't made a good War movie in 20 years.

 Off the Couch and into the Cockpit.  :D

One of the greatest WWII Pacific flicks ever!!!

(http://www.candidz.com/snapshotz/images.php/i2175_MovieShot.jpg)

Always wanted to be a Naval Aviator, but between the Diabetes and the eyes, this is the closest I could get.   :D

WWII was the 2nd, and truest of air to air combat era's.  There were no computers, barely radar.  Just you and your bird. You never told her what to do, you did it yourself. 

The days of dive bombing...

Fighting with bullets....In close, personal....

This game gives me something that I can't get out here in the real world... A chance to fly the way THEY flew.  When flying was the great frontier!

Living history, friends, foes, and fun. Continual learning about many different aspects of WW2 through the game. Comradery, comedy, and variety.

In a way, this is a constant reminder of why we fought for how the world is now. It could have easily been a vastly different outcome back in the day.

Yup...the golden age of dogfighting...nowyou keep a bead on the enemy for a half-second, then pull a trigger and ur targets outa the fight, and almost surely dead....back then, there was chivalry, a bond between the pilots. I heard a story a few days ago from my World History teacher. During the Battle of Britain The British bomber/ fighter escort pilots would get shot up and fake engine troubles, and land in nuetral Switzerland, and the German pilots would do the same, they would make friends with each other, play cards, go to henhouses, etcetc. they would part and be enemies again.

I dunno how it relates to this thread, but  is it just me, or did the americans REALY hate their enemies as a whole? like...just completely hating their German/Jap enimies, where as the British were more...leniant?

In Real life I'm a crusty old fart with no life and no money. Supported by a wife who wears the pants and brings home the bacon.

In AH I am respected for contributions made and time spent helping others.  I have many brothers, and in general I'm a nicer guy.  The sun is always shining,  there are no insurmountable problems, and lots of people to talk to.  If you screw up, you just get back up and do it again.
