Aces High General Discussion / Re: Highest Damage in 1 Sortie in a Bomber?
« Last post by mERv on Yesterday at 10:29:49 AM »Max damage requires maximum time investment with little reward. Hone your skills in bombers practicing white flag+deack of towns, fracking/shutdown vbases+ports, and shutting down small/medium airbases.
Once you build up muscle memory in those areas and can do it effectively no matter what direction you come in at the target start practicing gunnery like I do. Within a few months you will be a force to contend with in this game.

Aces High General Discussion / Re: Tour 310 Winners!
« Last post by ZE on Yesterday at 09:55:19 AM »I always thought people that get their names in these lists are people that only play it safe, timid, run from fights, use picking tactics or in some way or form game the game to get their high score.
But I have fun, and that has been my drive all these years. I fly to have fun, if I don't have fun I log. Simple as that. And I rarely ever look into this forum because I am not really a forum guy, I just like to play the game.
Agree that some pilots play super safe, but many are just excellent pilots that have been playing for many years and learn how this game works. To be honest, I believe this game should be played whatever the user wants in order to have fun. We need and accept all enthusiastic players for this game. Like you, I also don't care about statistics and play to have fun...

« Last post by Animl-AW on Yesterday at 09:11:32 AM »Ok. If is a big word.
Prices were high as hell, then they came down 1.5 yrs ago. Prices on products did not, they went up, way up. Gas prices have only dropped again the last 2-3 weeks.the window between and 3 weeks after this, prices still went up snd are not dropping.
In s perfect world of honest people and no greed and no tariffs, I’d agree. But where not there either.
So we had examples of price change both ways and they only climb.
Tariffs are superseding logic, therefore to make a reasonable prediction they must be included in the equation. Not only tariffs causing issues, you have companies using it as an excuse to hit us with 100% markup, instead of 20-50%.
So as long as the demand for their products exist, despite tariffs, they ain’t budging.
Even if tariffs go away, they will try to keep it high unless we stop buying.

« Last post by AKIron on Yesterday at 08:37:08 AM »Average national gas prices were approx $4 in 2022. They surged to over $5. I think they may drop below $2 so that's 50% of what we were paying. It may not, we'll see for sure. This affects a lot more than what you pay at the pump.
