I hate this game. I've been hating it since 2001 and it looks like I'll be hating it for another 13 years.
Unless we get the Beaufighter in the next 10 years, I quit! Consider that an ultimatum.

I hate this game because it ruined computer gaming for me. I cannot enjoy another game since I started playing this one. Simply nothing compares.

Damn you HTC!

 :furious


 ;) :D :rolleyes:

A typical JG11 alarm start.  Everyone piloted by another drunken friend who wants to fly those irons with me.

I'll prob be around a bit still here.

FLY Aces High!



or fly slot cars...

I bet you didn't shoot Greebo down in a valid 1v1.   He was distracted, I bet.   ;)

Once, in the USMC, we were on a ridiculous all-day hump across the lava fields between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii... so many people fell out... I had to have my ankle reconstructed, another guy broke his effing back from what all we were carrying, countless heat casualties, countless bleeding feet... it was led by our crazy (but absolutely legendary Marine) Battalion Commander.... our company commander (who I'd follow into hell to this day) said that the moment he realized he didn't hear Marines squeaking was the moment he knew things were bad.

This game is still awesome, it's still a hell of a lot of fun, and if people aren't having that they either need to take a break or re-evaluate how they are playing it.

(Also, TrackIR is so effing awesome... anyone that considers themselves a flight sim fan, let alone hardcore, should do themselves a favor and get this.)

Its the one game Ive found where I can call for help, from a crippled bomber being hounded by an enemy, and a total stranger will respond to help. If nobody does Im not disappointed cause I know Im responsible for my own rear end, plus its only a cartoon rear end. But more often then not someone will come help.

Just like they did in the war. Maybe thats what makes the game so Historically accurate. That people will work together to obtain an objective. The great games are like that. No matter what kind of graphics engines they are using.

You need players willing to "work together to obtain an objective".  This is a dieing art in aces high, and most of the current whines are spewed from people who could care less about "work together to obtain an objective".  Not sure why they dont just play in offline mode, I guess its the thrill of killing a human.

Its not as good as it used to be. Actually in the last few weeks Ive been noting the absence of a lot of old names. I hope they are either taking a break or have taken new names. I sure do hope they havnt quit.

But team work has always been a strong point of the game, tho I can only speak for the Rooks. I sure hope its better after 1700 or 1800 hrs, when I normally have to quit due to work. I know Ive seen some good crowds on on the few weekend nights I get off. On those nights the Rooks do keep the comms busy with good Intel.

We took loads of bases last weekend with too many names to mention A25 and A24 was awesome

I got B2B twice saying there was a Wirble in town when the troops were fallng :rofl

Seems more to do with people attitudes to the game than the game itself :)

This weekend i am going to do Jayro type missions and ask Chris3 with the rest of the Prussians to fly bombers,

I am flying Bombers again after getting anoyed with wobbly altitudes, I believe this will enable the Knights to defeat the enemy who are all girls anyway :old:

When I was in Precision Squad we did big bomber sorties with the help of The Few to dominate the map, The Few do not speak to me now because I was the best looking in the and left :)
