Aces High General Discussion / Re: To HTC...

« Last post by RELIC on Yesterday at 05:03:13 AM »

To explain why we sometimes fail taking a base then other squads is because we take challenges flying missions that we have set before squad night.  Those mission sometimes are not to take a base but like others have stated, to stir up a fight.  Other missions are to fly only japanese, german, russian, etcc. and are we flying early, mid or late war planes.  We just play together as a team and have fun.  Besides, our squad night on monday nights is only for an hour.

Nothing but full respect for the AK's.  Fun to fly with and against.

This is great! I remember one evening I was trying to defend a base in a Brewster along with a few others in planes and some tank dudes. Suddenly, like 15 Brewsters or so came through a gap in the mountains and absolute chaos ensued. I was subsequently shot down by AKGreyga while I was killing a 51 and the base was taken pretty quickly but damn if it wasn't fun. I even shot a couple guys using a field gun after not being able to get a plane.

I love this kinda stuff, a bunch of dudes having a good time....I'll bet the radio banter was a blast.  Keep at it, AK's!

Temping to jump back in.  Remember when the player count was in the 700s?  Those were the days.  Had to split up the arenas lol.  Hope you all are doing well.

Good to see you again, Mak!  C'mon back.  With smaller numbers you get to know people better, and less (OK, well, noticeably less) irritating smack talk.  More like a family, with all that implies.  You'll like it.

No disrespect to the AKs—but let's be honest, they're notoriously known as one of the least strategically impactful squadrons in Aces High history. They put up a big red cloud, sure—but when the dust and smoke settle, it's rare to see them take a base or even make it back to land the sortie when flying as a group.

Now, don't get me wrong—AKs offer great wingmanship. Every single one of them is a pleasure to talk to. Nothing but respect on a personal level. But for the sheer number of AKs on the roster, all I ever seem to get in return... is high ENY.

Isn't that a damn shame?

8p-9p CT is peak hour. Rarely below 90, two nights this week were 100-115.

I dunno where some get their numbers, but they are lowballing it. Maybe when they login, as it grows. Last night was 85-90.

Because of some antics here we dropped 50% in one year., 200-100.

Last thing for you base defenders. And fly Monday night Madness to see which are the two or three planes capable of getting off the ground in hostile skys and into the fight. Any complaints there won't find sympathy from these parts as I always found that to be fun.

Uhhh, MNM doesn't work like that.  Just sayin'

Maybe actually pop into one and find out how it does go down.
