Been a long time I played AW in my teens and Aces High last in 2014 probably? was part of Freebirds squadron when I left AH2...
What has happend? where did everyone go?
:salute

Some moved on to different games, many have died off, but there are still a bunch here having fun.

Welcome back Gun5,
Still a great fun combat simulator, in my humble opinion the best in the market, with still many friendly and deadly players.
:salute :salute

It's fun, especially the special events. The MA is very competitive but you can't just aimlessly fly around in there and expect not to get rekt. You gotta practice and want to get better to dodge gangs and other situations with respect to SA. It's not an EZ mode game, but there are planes that are easier to be successful in in the MA. It's a tough place of nature but it's a war strategy game afterall :rofl
:airplane: :joystick:
Merry Christmas

LOL!
I'm here and I'm just a no one status down to Newb because its' been a year or so since my last fight.
I have to say that this game is way more than just a game its a comunity of guys who like to play with planes from WW2 an we try beat the hell out of eachother in these little airplanes! :cheers:
I say comunity because you can see even the owner of AH has posted and talked to each of us about the problems he's been having at his house and we all talk to him in a child to a father kind of way... This place if one hell of a place to make friends over the years personal or whatever... I would never trade this game for another because its far more then just a game! :aok

yes I miss the big group of guys that used to be here... I know many where Vets and where usually 20-30 years older then me at the time (I'v lost my father & grandfather both since 2014) I was cleaning out my dad's house the other day and found the original CD's for AW I, II and 3 aswell as alot of other cool stuff that time has thrown to the wayside in the name of cookie cutter profit chasing
BTW The game seems mostly the same I guess engine updates and other stuff have happend... its still AW II essentially?

It's still the best $15 you can spend for 30 days of 24/7 fun
Give it a try

The dar is different in both aircraft and ground vehicles. It makes it easier to find a fight. Game play has changed a lot as with fewer numbers you see different play to make up for it. We have maybe 6-7 new maps added to the list, one almost a true european layout, so that adds a bit more interest.
Still a lot of fun to be had.

They are playing DCS

They are playing DCS
Prove it.
Your twitch channel is dead, and the stream another player had running today that I watched had two friendlies flying around in pretty planes looking for someone to shoot at. They ended up just straphing static ground targets. Looked like so much fun I almost DLed DSC again :rolleyes:
Id bet Aces High has lost more players to death than to DCS.
Go troll someplace else Dick.

Anyone with half a brain knows why pretty planes people troll here, desperation.
Even with lower numbers than the past, AH is STILL more fun as far as actual fighting goes. Ya don’t sell in other sim forums if things are really just cherry. Low class and rude = desperation. Things that are great sell themselves. No ads, no 30 FB pages, AH numbers ARE climbing. That speaks for itself.
Led Zepplin almost never advertised, word of mouth sold out arenas in minutes. Fact.
Coke and Pepsi almost no advertising.

Well I might join yall again I need to see if my old logitech still works... I'm on a little HP elitedesk 704 g4 no more gaming PC but when I load it seems to run pretty good
Ryzen 5 - 4 GHZ - 16Gb Ram.. but onboard graphics (AMD Vega11)
-
I came back after 10 years and it is still the most fun I've had online! Definitely miss some of the players gone now but those left are the best to spend time with. I love this game and the community :cheers:
-
Prove it.
Your twitch channel is dead,
Thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it.
I mention DCS because all the people who used to play this game are either dead or playing DCS.
The people who play aces high are awesome people, its a awesome community. But the better gameplay is DCS. From sling loading cargo to setting up the MFD's in my F-18 it is way better than aces high.
And a few of you are salty about that.

Richard, while your preference for DCS is commendable, your statement is grossly inaccurate. All the people who "used" to play this game are NOT dead. While the majority of the players in the game are long time players, we are seeing an encouraging number of new players.
I tried DCS, while it was pretty impressive, it does not hold a candle to AH as far as overall enjoyment, unless your addicted to details, like starting the engine in a P51. Man it took me 20 minutes to get it started. Thats 20 minutes I could have been flying/dying in AH.
Anyway, have fun in DCS, but please don't come trolling here trying to further damage this game. You already have CptTrips and MiloMaro and gg helping you :rolleyes:

Desperate people do desperate things.
As if skimming other games will replace what doesn’t exist.
It’s very telling, and a red flag.
Skimming - a sign their game isn’t doing well, or to ge writing is in the wall for investments. Voodoo. Yhey actually makr their game, and themselves, look worse. Horrific sales technique.

That was the nicest way to say "Get Lost!" I've ever seen... <S> Kenai :rofl :aok

Some people are too nice, I’m not. Cut to the chase and get it gone :)
Polite people get nice, pest don’t. But, everyone has their own way.

I enjoyed AH for years but always found it amusing when radar and icon were shortened among AHers. I worked radar for the better part of 20 years in the USAF and we never needed to shorten the word. :neener:
And I'm from Texas.

Pretty plane horde is invading threads again skimming. Don’t be nice to this bs, they aren’t minding their manners to you.
. Trips little posse
Beat it idiots

Well Mr.Twocountrycrier
Why don't you look up growling sidewinders in the multiplayer server list. Then go on in there and see how good you really are.
There are several PvP servers for WW2. Your stuck in easy mode, with crappy graphics and ICONS turned on.
But you won't do that so stay in easy mode.

You do make it so appealing...not sure how I can resist..lol
Has there been an event in dcs that has had over 120 participants that has multiple frames each playing close to 4 hours based off historical match ups?
