Here it goes...
In my short time flying this incredibly designed and extremely fun game I have come to a few realizations. There are only 5 real squads in Aces High. They are as follows:
Squad 1 "The HO N1K and LA7 Bastages"
Their squad mission statement reads: Do whatever you can to get as many kills as possible with no regard to strategy or the benefit of helping your country win the war.
These people have NO respect for the game and the war it is supposed to be honoring.
All manner of disease and tragedy I wish upon you and your families.
Squad 2 "Spit and A6M Dweebs"
Their squad mission statement reads: Be as annoying as gnats and turn, turn, turn.
Images of the aliens fighters in independence day float through my mind. The overmodeling of these planes is astounding. The military would love to get their hands on planes that could perform like this, there would be no stopping the air superiority.
Squad 3 "The Strato-Con Alt Monkeys... AKA. the Space Shuttles"
Their squad mission statement reads: Get as high as possible then fly for hours to get 1 or 2 kills.
If there were cars that got the mpg. of a Pony in Aces High there would be no giant oil companies. I'm amazed we needed more than 50 gal. of petrol for the whole war. that would have kept the Ponys and F4U's up for 10 years it seems.
Squad 4 "Bomber Group (insert name here)"
Their squad mission statement reads: Flatten anything you see.
I actually have respect for the patience it takes to fly so long. The only problem I see is did we ever have a B17 shot down in the war? If so, how?
The guns can sink a carrier at 5000 yds. Enough said here.
Squad 5 "The Real Pilots"
Their squad mission statement reads: Do your best to help your country and fellow man.
These pilots fly with each other and actually try to win the war. They give respect where it is due and try to honor the pilots who actually flew in WW2. They don't believe there is such a thing as stealing a kill or shooting at a chute. There is true strategy involved with what they do. Salute to any and all who fit into this category.
That is my rant for the evening. Sorry to be a pain in the bellybutton but it was really bothering me. If you think I'm full of s*** so be it, but this still needed to be said.
If you feel the need to call me a whiner... go ahead but don't just dismiss what I've said because you might fall into squads 1-4.

Great work!!
I'm in squad #2 :) Wait til they model the Ki-43 and you'll REALLY see some gnats :) :)
* edited for spelling *
-
what about the guys in the leather undies and the undermodelled planes - surely they get their own squad :)

I give the rant an eight Dick. It has a good beat and I can dance to it.

Rude, you watching?
-
You forgot squad #6 The obnoxious BBS posters, aka the channel 1 tards.
This squad is made up of newbies and dweebs, occationally a complete tard will join their ranks too. These are the "pilots" who know exactly how each and every aircraft in AH should perform, because they saw it in a movie once. Some of the more prominent ones claims to have seen a documentary on Discovery channel too, although that has never been proven. They know everything about every flightmodel, they know everything about every aircraft.
Often they are ace pilots even before they start playing AH. Some have great experience from other flight sims. There they learned (the hard way, one might add) against the AI that the best ACM to get on the bandit's six is the hard turn. And if it works there...it must work here too.
To their great surprise though, they are completely unable to survive for five minutes in the MA. And they figure that this sad fact is somehow related to flaws in AH, or lack of skill in the other pilots.
These are the guys who can be seen sometimes augering on takeoff ten times in a row from a field, and then up a flakpanzer. Should one of these morons get off the ground, he will most probably stall and auger on his first turn (see "hard turn" above). And should they ever get anywhere near a bandit, they are completely helpless. Its not that they wont try though. Flying after the well thought out "point your aircraft towards your target at all times"-tactic, often they will start spraying at D3.0 in their desperate attempt to hit something.
As soon as their skilless dweeb a** has been shot down yet another time they flock to the BBS to post long tirades about how useless aircraft X is in AH, because IN REAL LIFE the aircraft was soo much better. Sometimes they can even cite a movie quote to prove it too.
Some of the more prominent tards dont even bother to run to the BBS to post their theories. Instead they give long lectures on ch1 on how skilless the pilot who just shot down them are, how they were afk, how they were cowardly HOed, how the other plane was hacked, what BS it is that they were shot down from D1.3 etc etc. The more talented tards never seem to run out of reasons why they were shot down either.
Constantly striving to achieve true dweebness, they will do anything to reach their goal. They are so attention starved that they know no limits. They will kamikaze CV's, they will man Shore battery's and realize that they dont know how to fire the guns, these are the guys that can be seen augering beside aircrafts taking off from a vulched field.
Everyone can be a dweeb, it just takes alot of dedication, but for some it comes naturally.

Nice troll JB. :)
Which LW squad are you in? :)
-
"Spit and A6M Dweebs"
Spit i can agree with but A6M is NOT flown AS MUCH as the spit.. at least i dont see it,, mabye at a base with 20 people 10 are in spits 3 in zeke (around that) and the rest in P51 or LA7/niki
A6M is the only (other then hurri) that can turn with spit and STAY with it... that is why I my self (and some squadies) fly the zeke, to kill the SPIT dweebs.
peace

I think you're full of toejam.
SOB
BTW...I think someone needs to apply the "Myelo Scale" to this one, but I'm pretty sure it will fall short due to the "it's ok if you don't agree with me" ending.
-
Hortlund obviously you missed my major point...
How many times have you winged a squadmate for 30 min. working together to stop the enemy only to have 15 poor pilots come rushing in and take the 2 of you out by sheer numbers, not great flying skills?
Notice that squads 1-4 don't work together... they are just here to rack up points like some video game in an arcade, racing to get their initials to the top. If that's your idea of AH you need to rethink the reason you are here.

FunkedUp I am Proud so serve in the III/Jabostaffel

So if I fly a Spitfire I can't be a "real pilot" or "honor the pilots who actually flew in WW2." Gee thanks for telling me. I'm sure the WW2 Spitfire pilots I have met and thanked for their duty would find your statements amusing. I'll pass on your advice to the Mierzejewski brothers (http://www.raf303.org/308/photos/JMierzejewski-Logbook-Oct44.jpg). I'm sure they'll think twice about flying their dad's Spitfire in AH.

Sounds to me like they had better teamwork than you. I thought maybe your post was a joke but now I suspect you're just another in a long line of losers trying to blame your shortcomings on the rest of us and make fun of anybody who doesn't play the game your way. Yawn.
-
My score on this one?
As a troll... I give it a 2.5
Really lousy presentation of the bait. :(
As a whine… 2.9
Well face it I've heard a lot better. I am sure this guy will spend more time on the BBS improving his whining skills than in the MA improving his ACM skills.
To improve your whining skills try reading some posts by JoeCrip, really first rate stuff. Here is a url to an example of a first rate whine. The touch of a real master! I haven't had so many good laughs since the Clintons left Washington! :D http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51455 (http://Joe Crip)
For humor? 1.5
It didn't even make me break a smile. You have to be more adamant in your defense that this really is not a whine. And try to be more sanctimonious! That always makes us laugh! :D
Originality? 1.0
We've heard all this a 1000 times before, yawn! :(
Overall score? 1.75 out of 10.
Since there ain't no zeros, I gave you a 1.75 for trying.
Keep working on your posts instead of your ACM, we need more targets in the MA!

Dude, ya need better bait than that.

My god, is this guy trolling, or is he really that mind-bogglingly idiotic?
-
I think you're full of toejam.
I like it. To the point.
It's a statement.
No blur of the lines, no question of his REAL feelings.
Good post :)
No question of where SOB stands.
Personally I'm a #3 but not in a eeeeuuuuu pony..
Much to "cute"
nopoop
-
Everything Poopster said is true, how can you argue that?
People take your blinders off. He's just telling the truth. Although aces high is a great Game, the MA has become a quick quake deathmatch form of gameplay for at least 90% of those participating.
For all of you to call him a whiner for telling it how it is, well... thats sad.
:rolleyes:
-
Actually, your post is also roadkill, because he aint telling it like it is.
-
You forgot 1 vital element in the groups.The" Strat jagoffs that think they speak for everyone and will force there game style on all others.Your opinion is irrevelent because you have a lower score than me and I can do what I want" This is otherwise known as the "Napolian" ego syndrom.
Face it folks.There are many ways to play this "GAME" Yes its a game.Its not meant to honor anyone,or any time in hystory or even any Ideal.Its meant to play and have fun in.Some are thinking 8 hours in advance for a reset,some with less time to fly would be happy to take one base and then get back to there real lives.Unfortunatly the strat group spending more time in the game often have the score to say"You cant use the CV because Im going to need it in 4 hours so Im gonna hide it till I need it." To those I say this.Realise that not everyone is reset happy.Not everyone is thinking 8 hours ahead and they want to use the resorces available right then.While you say its for the greater good,You really mean its for YOUR greater good and screw what anyone else wants.If you must have the ego of David Lee Roth clashing with Eddie Van Halen,thats fine.But when it affects others game play its a problem
I have no problem with the strat group.But its not the only group flying.I like a good reset,but if it isnt fun whats the point.Oh yea.The macho dick thing of perks.Look at meeeee!!!! LOOK at MEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!I have 12 million points.I MUST BEEEE someone.Yea ya are.In your mind.
:rolleyes:
-
JB73, I read this post and laughed my arse off :D Ignore those condemnatory meanies: For humour, accuracy, and readability, I award you straight 10s across the board. That should bring your average up ;)
I like to think of myself as being in Squad 5, but it can be lonely in there. Especially when a guy whose life you just saved accuses you of having an attitude for complaining about not being given a 6-call.
As to your statement about this whine compared to my thread, I readily concede that you have me beaten!
Finally, click on this link (http://www.geetnet.com/western/turnturn.asp) to hear a song by The Byrds (http://members.aol.com/byrdsonlne/byrdsstuff/byrds.htm), which I dedicate to all the A6M/N1K/LA7 dweebs in Squads 1 and 2. Some of you might already have guessed which song that is :D

On it.
He started out great by mentioning many of the key whiner terms: HO, NIKI, La-7, kill stealing and chute shooting (6 points). And the overall whimpering tone was outstanding (10 points). Plus he earned bonus points with the follow up. But the proper use of paragraphs and punctuation cost him 5. The comment about b-17 guns killing carriers at 5000 yd almost cost him for a sense of humor, but I think he is actually serious.
21 points puts it into the impressive whine category. Not a bad effort for a beginner.

zzzzz...

"RUDE!!!!!!":rolleyes:
-
We're up to what, squad 7 now?
7. People that for some reason are extremely concerned about how other people fly.
-
All these squads are a member of a much bigger Combat Group...
the Wannabe WW2 Fighter Pilot Aces.
So next time you start to categorize, just remember... you're only a wannabe.

I feel your pain, however, these aircraft help out those who lack skills to fly real ACM aircraft. If you offer to pay for every player who consistently flies these aircraft, I sure you can control who selects what aircraft. When you win Powerball, get back to this thread and offer to pay for their acccounts with an agreement that they avoid the N1k and LA7.

"Annoying" is defeat in wolve's clothing. These two aircraft are the easiest to defeat if you simply grab a Spit or A6M and kill them with their own medicine.

A good way to deal with this is the same as Squad 2, grab a P51D, get high, kill them at their own game. 262 also forces them to lower alts where your squaddies can kill them ;)
Remember the fighter pilots #1 rule "Altitude is life"

Please provide footage of the guns sinking a CV at 5000 yards and I will pay for your account for one year.

Personally, some days I have time to "help win the war"..other times I have limited flight time, and helping to 'win the war' doesn't rank as high as "enjoy what little time I have online". With such a variety of weapons at our hands, how could one not sit down and have a fun Tank vs Tank battle? Again, start paying for your countrymens accounts and you'll have your participation.

Actually, I fall into all 5 catagories, depends what mood I'm in.

"Wannabe WWII Fighter Ace?!?!?"
I, for one, am greatly offended by that label!
I'm a "Wannabe WWI Fighter Ace!"
But, since AH does not have a WWI planeset and since AH is the best thing going I could find, I guess I ended up joining the wrong squad.
:-)

I'm a Wannabe Richtofen... but until a good online WWI game comes out.. I'm a Wannabe WW2 Ace. ;)

ROFLMAO...didn't expect this much reply:D
To all who commented on it, the remark about the B17's sinking a carrier was a joke. just trying to point out the range and leathality of the guns.
to all and see ya in the new tour
-
Let's see. I'm in Squad 1 (get as many kills as possible and don't loose much sleep about the "war"), Squad 3 (I prefer arriving on top of the fight so I can see what's going on from above; that makes membership in Squad 1 much easier), Squad 4 (There's not much patence involved; I set the auto-climb and go back to the crew's lounge. Once I went shopping during the climb-out).
I like Squad 2; I can usually use a few of them to increase my standing in Squad 1. They're only annoying if you try to turn with them, the rest of the time they help improve your deflection gunnery and approach/merge technique. Squad 5 annoys the crap out of me. They're the guys who think I pay $14.95 a month to follow their orders and whine when I don't.
I get the feeling you're one of those annoying Squad 5 guys who always whines when I don't follow your orders. Sure sucks to be you. :rolleyes:

Kinda hard to be a real pilot when you're not flying a real airplane. Yup, full of **** :D
Edit: btw, nice dig Silat hehe

Silat when you dig them out you have to knock of the cobwebs, dirt and stuff.
Just sayin..
Also I've gradeeated to group 2 with group 1 thrown in without the lags or niki's in the last couple of years..

Squad 3 "The Strato-Con Alt Monkeys... AKA. the Space Shuttles"
Holy hell. I think he must be psychic. And the thing about 15 newbs flying around... was he setting "Dicta JaBore" with this post?
-
Is this thread 2 years old or is it me, who dug this out of the basement?

That'd be Silat.. although why he went looking for a 2 year old thread is beyond me.

I dont think there should be much in the way of question if these planes are overmodeled as much as there should be a question of pilots actually being able to fly that way,
(a)- in reality within that modeling
(b)- for extended periods and still remain coherent enough to continue flying, and fighting.

Intresting that there was a reply from a AKEagle+
There is no AKEagle+, that was my name for a bit after 911, but I changed back to the name I have had for almost 7 years now.

Without the comma between "eight and "Dick" this takes on a whole new meaning, dontcha think?

What happened to whining about guys like me??
You know, deranged-psychotic-razor-toting-scumbags???
I fly high, fast, ambush you when you are target fixated, shoot you when you are in the Norden gun sight, HO you if you aren't looking, vulch, attack from your blind spot. :D
And after ambushing you, I don't even give you the respect of listening to your whining on channel 200 (I turn that kee rap off ) :rofl
Sigh, it is so hard for a psychopath to get any respect anymore :(
-
Fab punt, just goes to show that nothings new under the virtual sun here.
-
I didn't notice the date till I was reading some of the posters IDs and noticed I didn't know many of these "senior members" LOL
This is a great punt Silat! It is always funny when people try to generalize how folks play the game. Flame on =)
