I've seen you out there. In fact, you, along with a P-51D and F4U were giving a few of my Rook teammates a real difficult time the other day (A22 on Baltic map). Some pretty fancy flying there.

Noobie, one month...Spit 9, 97 kills so far this set. I'd like to see what some old hands could rack up with this sucker.

I really don't see the point of threads like this one. All the salient data is freely available on the HTC website - scores and stats. Why not visit the site if you want to know more? The only real purpose this thread serves is to provide a platform from which its subscribers can parade their egos. How many of these kills come from the all too typical AH Numerical Supremacy Smashdown? Or from vulches? hehe - bet no-one admits to that.
A more meaningful thread might be How many fields have you saved from capture? But of course, gallant efforts like that cannot be measured by the precious scoring system, which I have come to view as the raison d'être of a very large slice of the AH populace.
-
Not really, the original intent of the poster was asking to see what diversity was out there and why. You can bypass this thread if you like, your not obligated to read it. From the people posting there is a nice mix of different planes and the same people mixing their planeset up. I like the thread myself.
BTW you are welcome to start a thread with your questions also, I'm just tired of people pooping on every thread.

LOL, now that is bad. I rarely fire that rear "gun" I just start throwing articles of clothing in hopes it will snag in the prop and take the plane down.

Whoa there Beet1e, you're way out of line here. I know many of the guys responding here, such as Apache, Roscorro and AvidMC.
I've never know any of them to blow their own horn. That's a mighty broad brush your using. Please reconsider your comments, as you're being very unfair to some genuinely nice people.
My regards,

Lol, I've shot down 3 people in the G2, 1spitV and a damadge a6m in the 4b and been shot down once by another 110 in my a6m :)

Without even looking, I know I get most of my kills in the Flying Fortress. This may have been true in the USAAF in WW2 as well: I have read that more kills were made by B-17s than any other plane. If someone has the WW2 stats, please post them. I'm sure many of us would be interested.
It is incredibly easy to get kills in the B-17 in AH. Most people can't figure out how to make a frontal attack so they creep in from behind and are destroyed in a few bursts. Lately, the only planes that have been able to shoot me down and live have been two attacks by CavemanJ and Voss in Me-262s. A couple of pilots have taken me down with the 30mm cannon on the 109G, but they attacked from dead six and went down as well.
A couple of times I've cut my throttle to let a slower, lower, plane catch up so I can shoot it down at D1.0.
It's going to be interesting to see how pilots try attacking formations of 3, 6, 9 or more bombers. They had better learn how to make head-ons or some other kind of attack besides sneaking up on buffs' sixes.
For the record, I fly between 23 and 28.5K.
Sorry I got rather off-topic. :rolleyes:

Whoa there Beet1e, you're way out of line here.
I don't think so. This board allows for the free expression of one's views, in accordance with rules laid down by the moderators. If you can indicate any parameters that I might have breached, let me know what they are. Then, and only then, I will post a retraction. But I think you'll find that denting a few egos is not deemed to be unacceptable behaviour.
Please reconsider your comments, as you're being very unfair to some genuinely nice people.
Being "nice" has absolutely no bearing on this issue at all.
All this crap about scores represents to me everything that's wrong with Aces High. We're so preoccupied with personal achievement, and that is so far from how the real war was. But people on this board have said openly that they're not interested in the war; they are interested only in the individual skirmishes, ie. padding their own scores, and to hell with strat. Threads like this are of no value, and serve only to enhance the gangbang element. I throw my head in my hands and cringe when the call goes up for Tiffies, P38s, LANCs, B17s, Goons because a mission is about to embark on the capture of a small field. And when the purely inevitable result is achieved (after all of 10 minutes) all the WTFG/virtual high fives that come up on the text buffer make me want to puke. The results of the mission will be that some guys got a couple of back to back six kill sorties - a feat which I have accomplished myself by the way - and it's the stats from that kind of mission that are being hyped right here in this thread.
If you want a Line 'em up, shoot 'em down turkey shoot, congratulations - and welcome to the Aces High MA, where you have found what you are looking for.

But now that I'm here, the won deee :D

lol beet1e. Have ya seen my score? Pathetic I'd say.

Poop takes the hook...........
Checks Apache's score..
Eh ??
Stares at the numbers that represent pathetic...
Reevaluates his own performance taking into account the new benchmark for pathetic...
And the cold realization slowly sinks in..
Tells his wife to bring the 45, one bullet and a pillow...
..and a muffled shot comes from the backyard....

Not up to par, but what the hay:
109F4 - 8 kills
P-51 - 7 Kills
109G-10 - 6 Kills
Osty - 28 kills

A8 90% G10, and tiffie for Jabo

Scramble my friend lets talk.
I subscribe to the theory put forth by Liz that 85 or 90% of us enjoy flying historical 10% of the time. It's fun.
But on the other hand the vast majority find the "Turkey shoot" as you describe it as our main staple for entertainment 90% of the time.
Saying..
All this crap about scores represents to me everything that's wrong with Aces High
Is incorrect.
The "Turkey shoot" is why there's 275 plus in the Main on a nightly basis.
Like it or not ( enjoy the hell out of it myself ) the Main MAKES the game.
Take a look at WB. The Main is dead. Is the Sim far behind ??? In the S3 last night 5 squadies and one guest showed up out of a squad of 32...Out of thirty-two Scramble. The Main there is DEAD.
Those people like yourself that find flying historical 90% of the time are in the vast minority. Lashing out, saying we don't have a clue is misdirected.
The Main is there for anything you might want. The variety of what can be done in the Main here is great. Boats and guns and oh my. You can all pick what you want to "play" with. The Main is all about being a kid and playing. I play being a Souless Dix ;) Floats my boat, I'm not "recreating" anything. I'm lookin for a co-alt 1 on 1 where I can beat the living poop out of him. Jeez I think I have had a half dozen this tour. THAT is fun for me.
Other arenas are available on a 24/7 time basis provide a place for those that care to partake in the historical settings. The TOD is alot of fun and I'm there every week, unless semicomatose..
But saying that because we don't fly historical 100% of the time, we are a bunch of dweebs is...
probably true.
:D
-
I enjoy both ends of AH, the down and dirty furball and the historical setting. I play them both, I enjoy them both.
....everything that is wrong with Aces High!
I find nothing wrong with Aces High because of 1 reason! I dont look for it. If one want s to furball, great! If one wants to vulch, that is super. If one wants to fly a B-17 at 37K feet, I applaud that person. If someone wants to talk smack, then let it flow baby!! :)
AH virtual pilots come from all walks of life and cultures. We are a huge melting pot! Sometimes this takes people alittle while to get use to!
Have A Nice Day!!
:)

The right to "free expression" only allows you an opinion. However, you can certainly exercise that right in an unwise manner. If you dislike the way people play this game that much, why subject yourself to further misery? Remember, it is a game. Sure, it is often frustrating. Nonetheless, it's better to log off rather than get seriously ticked-off.
Speaking of rights, each player has the right to play the game as he sees fit and need not explain themselves to anyone. Frankly, I think you are the cause of your own aggravation. How? Because you expect people to care about what you perceive as important. You set yourself up for disappointment. The greater your expectations, the greater your disappointment. Hope for the best, expect the worst and you'll be much less frustrated.
I suggest that you join a squad that participates in the weekend TODs and/or spends time in the CT. This should quench your desire for historical gaming. I do understand your point, I prefer historical myself. But, if you fly in the MA, you cannot expect everyone to agree with that view. I suggest you learn to accept the good with the bad and make the most of it.
My regards,
Widewing

Exactly... I myself do not fly spittys, D model ponys, niki's that I see and kill so much of. Sure there is a little bit of ego attached to posting how many kills you have so far in each but my original intent was to see what most vetern pilots out here are flyin.

poopster, swager & widewing - thanks for your considered opinions :)
I'm not the Historical Realist you might think I am. In WB, I never flew the S3s at all. My best ToD was flying the F6F almost exclusively, but flying it in jabo or attack sorties. I got 428 kills against 175 deaths that tour, but now here's the twist: All the kills were pretty much incidental, and made in the execution of capturing territory. I rarely sought air to air combat, except in defensive sorties. In short, I was flying with a purpose - field captures. My squad at that time was a jabo squad called IAF Borg, led by one of the trainers - a guy called =varg=. Sure, I started out in 1998 with air to air combat, but kind of grew out of it.
In a defensive role, I would fight tooth and nail to prevent one of my country's fields being lost. In short, my loyalties lay with my country, and not the scoreboard.

Hurricane IIC 32
PT Boat 28
Hurricane Mk I 28
Bf 109E-4 27
early warbirds for me this tour. Started out with the emil, the drifted to the Hurri Mk1. The Hurri IIC is there strictly for easy base defense. and.. the PT boat was at a spawn or something, i dont remember.
-
Bf 109F-4
-
Can't access stats page (netscape browser), but for current tour it probably is:
yak9u (base defense / mission cover)
f6f (CV & Jabo)
osty (base defense when FH down)
hurriC (base defense when vulchers present and o fuel is at 25% :)
Best sortie: yak9u killed 2 B17s, B26, and fighter of some sort. --> had to go after bombers because skurj was taking out all the fighters in his hurri :D
Nice to see the yak9 make some other pilots list.

I would figure people would change up planes ,BUT stick with axis OR allied rides. I see that many people enjoy flying BOTH axis AND allied rides for diversity. Good to see that.
My main choice is the bf-110
Question: at what time did Messersmitt start building them, I thought there were Me-110's???
My second choice is either the La-7 or the P-47 d30.
( although my N1k2 sits collecting dust)
Those posted that choose Allied AND axis rides as choice could you explain WHY you choice your rides, and reason? I'm just wondering.

Me = Bf
Bf is official name for messerschmidt planes. ( I suppose)

P-51B
Makes Me have to aim at targets instead of the tried and true spray and pray.

I never had any "brand loyalty". I select aircraft based upon the following factors:
1) A particular requirement. For example, to intercept bombers I might select the Bf-109G-6 or the 109G-10, with full weapon loadout. Perhaps I'll take a P-47D-30 with drop tanks and hang out at 30k for an hour, hunting Buffs. For Jabo work, I will select based upon load and expected opposition. For a fighter sweep I'll pick based upon the distance to be covered, balanced by performance as well as the particular style I feel like flying, angles or energy and so on. I might select the P-51B, or Yak-9U or Fw 190A5 or even the C.205.
2) Lastly, I will sometimes select based completely upon whim. :D
I fly everything, some more than others. Some days a Dora strikes me as being fun, some days I'll have a hankering for the Ki-61. Hell, I'll even take a Stormovic just for the fun of furballing with it. The wonderful diversity of AH allows me to fly something different every day, and still accomplish my mission goals. Over the weekend I had a ball flying the Bf 110G-2, attacking hordes of Knit GVs. I especially like to use the N1K2 for base defense against GVs. It can haul 500 kilos (1,100 lbs) of bombs, 800 rounds of 20mm and can be pressed into very effective service should the field come under air attack at that same time. I would become bored flying the same aircraft day in and day out. So, you never know what you'll see me in next.

Widewing
