So true, mussie! After AH no single player flight sim, for how good it can be, seems the same again... real opponents are the best thing you can hope to fight against!

That was the reason I downloaded this game, I'm an avid aviation fan and I wanted to try what it's like to fly with/against other people. Then I discovered the wonderful, crazy community that this game has and I thought it was well worth my 15 bucks. :)

Watching Nomde die....










just kidding, I love watching any of my squaddies die especially if its my fault :D.




Seriously, I think the rare 1v1 or 1v2 fights keep me in the game for awhile.  Flying the P47 75% of the time doesn't leave much room for fighting the hordes, so I find myself enjoying the game less and less on maps that cater to that style.

The community (especially the Finns in here - who are on the same vox channel :)), the fights... And I'm having fun playing this game! :)

Typical freaking +Nomad. A perfectly good bird, and look at it now. And honestly, it looks GOOD compared to most of them when they're done with them. At least it still appears to have both outer wings and both tailbooms. Can't say the same for the rudders and stabilizers.

For the squad.  Flying with the 475th is fun and have really good times.  Also for watching them dweebfires, lgays, and them jap garbage go down in flames.  

Already have bleeding ears to that guy pipz who thinks he can actually "sing".

Then there is always those guys complaining, whining, and everones favorite of being accused of cheating.  Always gives me a laugh.

Habit.

Addiction.

Because from the start, Aces High concept and execution have been world class.

Its the people pure and simple,even when I have an off night I can sit and talk,tell jokes with  a bunch of new friends  that I have met in the last 3 years .Joining a squad makes it all the better.It maybe only a "game" but how many games  have players calling each other halfway around the world to see if everythings alright because they havn't seen you log on in awhile?:aok The fact I love old planes and such just becomes a bonus.:)

1) Must...(grrr:furious )...avoid....(:cry ) wife...ack..:mad:

2) I fly for the fun and variety of things to do in the game.

3) I fly for the squad, especially when it appears my "country" does not have it's s*** together.

4) A fascination with learning new things about WW2.

5) Playing a game in which you interact with people all around the world while you are comfortable at home.
