Buy a headset and USE IT!!!
I am talking about helping the team's and your S.A. The in-game button is somewhat helpful as a last ditch effort, however there is a much better way.
You are sitting in a field-ack or gv.. You are a F.O. or Air Traffic Controller Give the guys above a heads up before its a problem for them...especially in Furballs. If you see that high pony above a team member who is tracking engaging a con... try saying, "About_to_die you have a high pony circling above you", or "About_to_die, you have a high Pony on your long six, dropping." or if its closer "About_to_die, to have a Pony closing fast from above." and finally "About_to_die, break right" If the con is from his 3,4 or 5 o'clock, break left if from 7, 8 or 9
In addition, if you are a picker or are waiting above for the high ponys, typhys and lalas, talk to the guys below.
Oh and the biggest blunder ever, you are chasing a con right up your buddies tail and don't give any warning! You know the con has target fixation or is going try to take someone with him and you don't tell your teammate he's there! So you can get the kill? Really? Or is it, you can't spare $12.95 on a headset and map a button to use it?
In the main arena, it's a team effort. Ask anyone who has flown with me, I try to give updates constantly as I see them but eventually I miss something and get shot at myself (often while warning someone else) only to see 4 guys chasing a con to me from below or something similar.
So in a nutshell, if you aren't engaged in a battle yourself, have your head on a swivel, talk to your buddies and help them out, they will do so for you.
Ps the other night when 50+ Bish were hording against 15 defenders... I bet the defenders, out of necessity, were warning each other like crazy, while the Bish were not.
A heads up, makes all the difference!!!!
other good things you can do
1. Ask before dropping in on a fight
2. Never put a cons nose on your 11,12,or 1 o'clock (talking ho or the appearance of an intention to ho) unless u have no other option.
3. Not gloat on 200
4. Salute
5. Up from a base that is not being vulched!!! (Saves you lives and denies them easy kills)
6. Meet the horde with a horde, pay attention to what is happening arena wide.
Have FUN, it is a game after all. Oh and a funny note... lots of these guys doing crazy stuff in cartoon planes.. would be dead in R.L. where the sky is not the limit, the ground is!

all very good advice diaster. :aok

thanks

what if I don't think the MA is for gangs...err I mean..."team work"
what if I don't care about what others are doing in the MA.....
what if.....I don't have "buds" and I am here just to fight/kill red guys......
what if.....I think it is up to YOU to chk your own 6.........
saying that.....its ok if you don't chk my 6 :aok I know its my 6 to chk not yours....
don't expect me to come "help" you tag team someone....
if you see me fighting....please STAY out.......no matter the nme count......
the only thing you said I agree with is giving a <S>......... not gloating on 200......and not jumping in a 1vs1.....
all kinds of ways to play this game, personally I like my way
rule 1- Always fight....unless the green out number the red then go find a bigger red cloud.
rule2- Always fight no matter the disadvantage you may be at.
rule-3 Always fight till the end, NEVER call for "help"
rule-4 Always fight.....until some friendly decides he wants the red guy you are fighting, then break off and let the friendly have him.
rule-5......and this is the most important..........
ALWAYS FIGHT

5. Up from a base that is not being vulched!!! (Saves you lives and denies them easy kills)
But....but I like upping from capped fields. It makes them waste their ammo killing me (or they smash into the ground trying to kill me) and then the rest of my team can get up. Plus, I don't care for my (or anyone) scores. You can vulch me 15 times and land the kills, but I'll still kill you in a 1v1 fight. :D (or at least give it my all ;) )

As the sun goes down, I move around
Keeping to the shadows
Life, hangs by a thread
And I've heard it said, that I'll not see tomorrow
If that's my destiny, it'll have to be
So I'll face the future
Running out of time
I'm on the line
But I'll go down fighting
Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night
Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Not begging you
I'm telling you
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me,
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies
Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night
They're closing in
They'll never win
You won't break me
You won't take me
You won't make me,
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies
As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won't give in to fear
As I die a legend will be born
I will stand, I will fight
You'll never take me alive
I'll stand my ground
I won't go down
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me,
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
just I'll face you under
blood red skies
You'll never take me alive
I'm telling you
Hands of justice
I will stand, I will fight
Never surrender
As the sun goes down
I won't give in to fear

What's with the "Way of AH"?
Fly however you want. Just know that if you fly like a dweeb, you'll get treated like a dweeb. Oh, and if you try to HO, pick or ram, get the job done. Chances are, you won't survive to try it a second time. :)
-
Ink,
I though the concept was MA for teamwork while the DA was for all the "me types" solo engagements etc
Regardless the post was more for new guys anyway. You experts don't need advice :-)
I do second the Fight Fight Fight part but I also like the live live live part. To fight and live is better than to fight and die or run and live.
If I walk the plank,
I'll do it with a smile.
If I am gonna go down,
I'll go down in style
I'll never surrender I'll never confess.
You left me with nothing,
I worked with less.

Oh and the biggest blunder ever, you are chasing a con right up your buddies tail and don't give any warning! You know the con has target fixation or is going try to take someone with him and you don't tell your teammate he's there! So you can get the kill? Really? Or is it, you can't spare $12.95 on a headset and map a button to use it?
Because he makes good bait and if I check 6 him the con following him will follow his break turn/split S stick wobbler :rofl then I will feel bad for not helping out any further :old:
Ps the other night when 50+ Bish were hording against 15 defenders... I bet the defenders, out of necessity, were warning each other like crazy, while the Bish were not.
Is this a plee for more efficient hoarding :eek:
1. Ask before dropping in on a fight
So the 2 guys fighting and the friendly dies, then the con I spared picks me, this has happened so many times as to be almost an exact science, I won't go out of my way to thump someone but if hes there for the taking I will take him :D
2. Never put a cons nose on your 11,12,or 1 o'clock (talking ho or the appearance of an intention to ho) unless u have no other option.
Thats avoiding a merge if you don't suck you won't HO to start with. Almost everyone will attempt to take a shot on the first merge, I could count on one hand how many have not in the space of a weeks play. It puts them at a disadvantage so its all good from my point of view.
3. Not gloat on 200
Gloating is good :old:
5. Up from a base that is not being vulched!!! (Saves you lives and denies them easy kills)
Spawn in F3 mode and type .ef then wait to be vulched, when he is at 600 tower out then spawn at the opposite end of the runway rinse and repeat theres nothing more annoying for a vulcher :rofl also type missed me or vulch denied on 200 to really wind them up.

the "war" was an ADDED component to the MA.... to promote COMBAT.......it is called Aces High for a reason...first there were just planes.......planes fighting planes, long before my time.....then the war and GV's were added :headscratch: not sure which came first......
my point is the war has NO meaning whats so ever...and in the greater scheme of things the war and "winning the game" is a false win, for you win nothing the map gets reset and it goes on and on....the only way to "win" this game is if YOU get out of it your moneys worth of "fun"
when I first saw AH it was at my landlords house....he explained that he was fighting real people...me never having a computer before(this was in 04 I was 34 years old) thought this was the cats ass.....you mean I get to fight and kill guys all around the world.....NO ONE really dies and NO prison time..... :x :x :x :x :x :x :x...sign me up :x :x :x :x :x
to me knowing that NO ONE really dies....why avoid combat in a combat game(not saying you but the huge hoards and others)
first for me it was all about the killing of other men, then I started to get good and lasting longer in the red hoard, with over 15,000 "deaths", fighting ALL fights.... gave me an insane case of SA.......killing 3/5 at a time in the MA became my obsession...I have won up to a 7vs1 killed 5 of them and 2 limped home...(was bounced by a 38 right after which was fine I was bingo ammo)...if you can imagine the adrenaline rush from that 15 minute fight.. then you meet up with guys who really know how to fight, and actually kill me :furious :furious and my blood starts to rush..... literally I will be shaking from adrenaline......safe........ in my home............... next to my wife................. kids safely sleeping away................
so I completely disagree with that last statement :salute
P.S.
AH is one of the greatest thing created by man :salute HTC

:old: Do not let your enemy choose how they will treat you, ...
... choose how you will treat your enemy, for they are your enemy. :old:
Allow for maximum ch200 whines and tears from your enemy for confirmation of pwnage applied. :old:
Reply to your pwned enemy's nasty PMs with a smile and a wink and a sense of job well done. :old:
Reply with the magic word "indeed" as often as appropriate to add a layer of intelligence. :old:
Have fun with your enemy when they refuse to do the same due to pwnage applied. :old:
Honour your Fighter Pilot Heros, for they art awesome and mighty. :old:
Beg forgiveness for moment(s) of weakness. :old:
Tweet your peeps, on occasion. :old:
Stay strong and healthy. :old:
Visit the TA. :old:
These are the ten commandments for all Whos of Whoville, obey and respect their wisdom indeed. :old:

Ask before dropping in on a fight
+1 :aok
I will usually check if no one else is engaged on a plane then say something like "lining up on the B25". etc. Just a common courtesy. Still, folks will just jump in front of me with no communication. Sometimes crossing my line of fire causing kill shot from FF possibilities.

that's why as soon as I see someone trying to engage the nme I am fighting I break away...Have had a great fight where we both broke away a couple times, letting the other kill the interrupting party and continued the fight....
now that was awesome. :joystick:

Made two sorties last night - me and cattb decided to wing up - few times ran into single fights - shemp etc - always call out asking if someone needs help, if not I just zoom away looking to intercept. I know how ink feels when you can't hit the side of a barn... then again I felt good after being PM'd about cheating :)
Hopefully can make a few sorties tonight, most likely will end up flying a 109K since my aim is to terrible anyhow, and I rather get back into the grove of getting into position for a shot.
Seems after you quit for a while, you always want to jump into a lead gun position, not sure why - I just couldn't bare to sit in lag pursuit to get a good enough angle, always wanted to go nose front.

my brother and I used to do this, as a team as well, take turns being spotter for the other so to help with sa, and really get several diving into your parked 262 even wasting their ammo if you wait long enough... or both spawn out at same time, then .ef at same time. it is great comedy. :aok

While I personally do not subscribe to Ink's philosophy, I am glad that he does and that there are others in the arena who do as well.

The other night, there were 5 of us (Devil Dogs FS) we upped heavy Pony D's to hit an airfield.
On the way to target, I call dot con long six. It comes into range... Ki-84. I give it a bit of time to see that there are 5 of us, he keeps on coming.
I say on Mumble: "That's a single Ki-84, he sees there are five of us, and he's still hauling freight. I guarantee you that's Jetsom"
Sure enough... two of us drop ords to engage, I almost immediately get a taste of Ki-84 cannons from a decent bit out... short burst, left aileron gone.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ge7WP2ns5qw/UEi9NfYOb-I/AAAAAAAABuY/RhLrrlTX11U/s738/Gadwin155.jpg)
Inksom proceeds to mix it up, all remaining Pony's are forced to dump ords to try and gain some E... NathBDP shows up in another Ki-84 on Ink's side, as does Tomahawk. Flight17 shows up in a Mossie on our side, so at best it's 6v3, at worst it was 5v1 on Ink.
The early damage to my aileron proves fatal as Tomahawk picks me out of the herd and nails me with a great high speed shot from nearly vertical.
_____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ ___
The point being, unlike some people on here that talk a big game about "fighting", Ink actually does exactly what he says he does.
I got beat, but I came away with a good film and a very memorable experience.
There was no smack talk about numbers/chosen ride, just a cutthroat scrum... with the side effect that our initial mission - to nail an airfield, was made to fail.

Not only to promote combat, but to add another dimension to the game to expand their market. I wonder if people really believe that HTC did not think that this game would eventually evolve where there would be dedicated GVers or win the war type. If they didn't they sure saw the writing on the wall, because they have made an effort to enhance both aspects of the game
my point is the war has NO meaning whats so ever...and in the greater scheme of things the war and "winning the game" is a false win, for you win nothing the map gets reset and it goes on and on....the only way to "win" this game is if YOU get out of it your moneys worth of "fun"
INK, you are contradicting yourself. The war has no meaning to you, but it sure does to some others. I believe a number of players feel they are getting their money's worth by playing the win the war aspect of the game.
Winning the war, getting an air or GV kill, are all false wins. In real life they mean nothing, but it means a lot to the person obtaining their objectives. Some feel they are getting their moneys worth trying to win the war, others do it air to air or GV battles, some even do a little bit of all three.

na I never smack talk unless someone starts with me first, if you see me reaming someone out on 200, good chance they deserved it :D
YES.... that fight is exactly what I am talking about, blood pumpin, white knuckled, fights, and what makes AH so great...at least to me, some do enjoy bombing static targets.....not my cup a tea....there is NO way bombing or GVing can give you that kind or rush....at least not me.
I took out a 16 recently and attacked 7 51,s...haha what a fight... ended up killing 3/4 of the 51's and 1 spit that engaged while I was fighting them guys :D and when I was out of ammo I went level and said to them "take the shot"....man I love those kinds of fights, except with the 16 it is a bit too easy even in a 7vs1 :rofl
<S>
PS I smiled from ear to ear when I read..."he is attacking 5 51's....Thats JETSOM" :devil

Never said I did, but I do know a number of players do enjoy it... So I guess they are playing the game they want to,,, so I would assume they are enjoying it.
Wasn't it you who said "all kinds of ways to play this game, personally I like my way". I guess I am curious, if their way is different than yours, does that mean they are less of a player, and not having fun?

You can tell which ones are having fun..... they stay a long time.

Since he said he didn't understand whey GV's were added, then the answer is yes....

when did I say that? I am sure GV's were added to open up the market for more paying customers for HTC :rolleyes:
I said I don't know WHEN they were added.... :aok

Wasn't it you who said "all kinds of ways to play this game, personally I like my way". I guess I am curious, if their way is different than yours, does that mean they are less of a player, and not having fun?
Fred
yup I have said that...obviously there is.....
by "less"....I wonder what you mean?
I don't think anyone is "less" of a player,skill wise is one thing..but "less important", I am no more important then the next guy....... I know those who bomb static targets/always ganging wont get the same rush as I do.......that has nothing to do with being "less" of a player......like I said if they are having fun....... well more power to them. :aok

they possibly are in their mind .... My nephew played this for a bit and he really liked the game..wishes he could play but is a lazy assed mother#(87.......... let's just leave that there as it is a Whole other story....... but he would gang and ho everything.. run around with bombs blowing things up...he didn't get into the GV's though and was getting all excited about it he was getting all excited about shooting someone down after being the 5-6-7th guy in....I would constantly be saying Dude that sux man.... but still that was his fun....then he came and sat and watched me a few times when I was on the reciving end of what he did/was doing ...( watch pretty much anytime and see the same thing hahaha I always make bad choices and put myself right in it hahahaha) It happened to be a day I was on acm killing wise so it made things so much sweeter..... but he watched and was getting so excited just watching the play unfold.... he was just totally blown away by it... I died but even he could see that there was more to it than that....and he knew I was one to try and get home each time I upped.
Anyway my point is he had no idea about how rushy it can be (yes some will go on about it being only a game...but if you can finish a fight win or lose and have to rest, give the arm a shake run the fight in your head over and over it was great and had an affect whether you want to believe it or not...the game just affected you and your life to some degree......
.He still goes on about the few times he watched ..... and it is all due to the fact he was shown something different which then changed his perception....yes he still likes to blow stuff up but it isn't as wow factorish ... ..... ebb and flow of things too I spose ... one day I like to do this...next day that ..... but me personally, I fall back to fighting odds and loving it....Base Defense is where it is at for me and my mostest fun :D .....

there is not much quite like it...... :joystick:
-
not my cup a tea
:D You just made me thirsty

Live, laugh, die, drink, rinse, repeat.
Pretty much in that order.
-
Seems after you quit for a while, you always want to jump into a lead gun position, not sure why - I just couldn't bare to sit in lag pursuit to get a good enough angle, always wanted to go nose front.
Also happens after a bad run of not getting any kills, you start pressing and pulling for the shot. Never ends well for me.

soon as I read that, I thought of this
".....Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content. Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content."
the great REH
reading his stuff at 11-12 years old had a huge impact on me.....
Conan put his back against the wall and lifted his ax. He stood like an image of the unconquerable primordial legs braced far apart, head thrust forward, one hand clutching the wall for support, the other gripping the ax on high, with the great corded muscles standing out in iron ridges, and his features frozen in a death snarl of fury his eyes blazing terribly through the mist of blood which veiled them. The men faltered wild, criminal and dissolute though they were, yet they came of a breed men called civilized, with a civilized background; here was the barbarian the natural killer. They shrank back the dying tiger could still deal death.

:airplane: Play!!!
When I started,,, the first flight I got a kill. P38 against something. Promptly landed it and got no.name in lights,,, I was thinking what the heck!!!!!!!! I could round up two or three
Kills
But could
Not
Land them to get my name in lights for nothing,,,
After a while, I figured out for me,,,,,,,, Landing is the most important thing for me
As far as best investment,,, I don't know about today but I have a turtle beach headset and backup desk speakers for when the wife is away. S.A. Is just as important in everything in the game
Next is sounds. I'm a fan of mitsu's sounds. But may try to get with him or someone else to put together a GV best sounds list
So to recap,,, landing is the most important thing I know of.
This message sent from the comfort of my couch!! Thanks for all the well wishes,, I think I'm home for a
While now. Just hope the retirement checks keep my game turned on and running

my point is the war has NO meaning whats so ever... In your opinion I am guessing? and in the greater scheme of things the war and "winning the game" is a false win, for you win nothing the map gets reset and it goes on and on.... as shooting down a red airplane is a false win as they will simply up again I would think... the only way to "win" this game is if YOU get out of it your moneys worth of "fun" Exactly what you are arguing against it seems to me...
to me knowing that NO ONE really dies....why avoid combat in a combat game(not saying you but the huge hoards and others) Because they may enjoy it in a different manner than yourself I am again guessing?
first for me it was all about the killing of other men, then I started to get good and lasting longer in the red hoard, with over 15,000 "deaths", fighting ALL fights.... gave me an insane case of SA.......killing 3/5 at a time in the MA became my obsession...I have won up to a 7vs1 killed 5 of them and 2 limped home...(was bounced by a 38 right after which was fine I was bingo ammo)...if you can imagine the adrenaline rush from that 15 minute fight.. then you meet up with guys who really know how to fight, and actually kill me :furious :furious and my blood starts to rush..... literally I will be shaking from adrenaline......safe........ in my home............... next to my wife................. kids safely sleeping away................ And you know for a fact that not one other person has ever felt those unique feelings except yourself playing only in the manner you find enjoyable I once again guess?
so I completely disagree with that last statement :salute As others feel the same about your argument based on my observation of various replys :salute
P.S.
AH is one of the greatest thing created by man :salute HTC Not sure about the greatest, but definitely fun for my part :cheers: :salute
As far as choosing quotes from fiction as a sound philosophy I hope you are referring to fictitious pursuits and endeavors, it is called fiction for a reason.
I prefer the quotes, "Opinions are like a--holes, everyone has one and they all stink" from who knows how many hands of knowledge; as well as, "I know one thing, that I know nothing," by a dude who wore a sheet and sat around drinking wine :)
I simply have a problem being told how I feel and what makes me feel that way by anyone who can not know in the slightest manner without inquiring of myself first. So please, soften the fallacious logic, it is a game in the end, we each enjoy it in unique ways, even when we agree on some points. Overcompensating with large fonts does not make it more valid than even the least skilled or "dweebiest" player. There is enough "this is the only 'enjoyable' way to play AH" proselytizing as it is.
OP, I appreciate your input whether I feel it is correct or not. In my personal opinion it can all be boiled down to respect; which is the gist I get from your post.

The Single Best Thing You Can Do As a Pilot...
These 3 things are a must for anypilot;
Take off safely, transit safely and land safely.

I think had the OP named this thread " the single best thing Ican do as a pilot" it would have gone better.
As posted by many there are a number of ways to play this game.

Dont you dare insult the Static targets like that, they get enough Arenaline rush after they see 40 P51s start dive bombing...
Then again the Static Target usually screams "HELL YEAH!" on vox after most auger or miss the target completely.

I don't know, maybe there is something strange with me, but I have been in many knock down turn fights and have never had an adrenaline rush like you describe you have had. I guess I always know this is a game and if I die there is no real loss. I also know if I win there is no real gain. I like the fight, but I can't say it really ever increases my heart rate.

than you haven't been in a good fight....I get adrenaline rushes every time I fly, it did get to the point that it takes a 3vs1 to get the blood flowing.....or if I know I am going against a good stick, or someone I just want to kill.
I think it has to do with "drive" drive to be the best.....
whereas some are OK with just "playing".......while others such as myself, strive to be the best at whatever they do.

Been in many great fights against some of the best sticks in this game. Been in numerous multi con fights. Some I win, some I loose, I just call them fun fights. To say that I got some kind of adrenaline rush out of them, I would just say no. The only feelings I have ever had out of a fight is satisfaction or frustration, but never an adrenaline rush. I guess it just takes more than a game to get my adrenaline running.

when i did play, i enjoyed dragging some one out then reversing them from my six and finding someone else to do it to again. Also got a blast out of de-acking fields and being able to RTB. That was my fun, I'm just not blind and realize that their are many ways for people to have fun with their $15. Not everyone treats the game as COD or Quake in planes.

If it was Quake, i'd simply use a railgun and aimbot everyone.

Sorry, after the last couple of patches my old films won't play for some reason, and I don't really bother with filming anything new. When I do, I delete them after I review them. Don't see any reason to keep them.

oh I know there are different ways to have fun in AH, I just think that fighting against odds or a better stick is about the best there is in AH.....but only if I have a chance, if there is no chance of winning(which has a different meaning to different people) to me winning is not about "landing" to me winning is whether I put up a fight, made them work for my sculpt.....I am not "winning" unless I am dieing :aok

cc that......I am not invalidating the other ways of playing AH, by any means....I absolutely believe one should play how one wants.....

Skip it

when did I put them down?
you got me...... its my ego :rofl
only cuz you asked, but you should not have to take back what you say.
btw its not an ego, an ego is an overinflated few of oneself....
I very rarely post films of my fights...I do not talk trash on 200 when I lose or win a fight....I will always help a guy who wants to get better (if it was ego I would not want anyone getting better) I am bored and posted my thoughts on topics that interest me on the the BBS.... so does everyone else here.......
some get hurt feelings for that......oh well.

I was one second too late Ink, delete it please sir :salute

Ink, as usual you are being kind when I was just stupid and once again I owe ya one, the day I stop embarrassing myself and letting my mouth run will be the best day of my life.
You are right, I shoudn't have to take anything back because I know I shouldn't do things that I regret.

Our shift Sargent gave us the best advise he could think of at the start of our shift. After the shift briefing he would say' Don't Die. Not as cool as Hill Street Blues (Be Careful Out There) but good advise none the less lol.
