Old school check-in

[usa35]

I used to play Warbirds somewhere around (damn) 10 years ago... and Aces High sometime around when it came out. Haven't played in years. It seemed like the online WWII flight simming was thriving then, and subsequently died off...

With the dearth of flight sim action (like there was in the late '90s), how has the Aces High community/in-game action been? always somebody to shoot at? How is Warbirds? That seemed to be going south years ago thanks to the company that owned WB... If I recall, that may be why/when AH did it's thing.

So, in general - for those who go back a decade, how are things compared to yesteryear? :-)

For what it's worth, this forum looks pretty healthy. ;-)

I figured as much... but damn, really slow. :-P

Good to hear about the baby seals. I'll have to re-up soon. :-)

Warbirds in its reincarnated version version 3 - is still going strong on the scenario side, not so much in the arenas though. if HTC owned S3 scenarios noone would even bother
to go there.

Warbirds is also more expensive than AH.

Differences between the 2 are not that big except for gunnery : you get 2-3 times more kill for your ammo in Aces High compared with WB.
Played WB for 12 years, and still counting. AH since a year - same handle as always in both games : "save"

AH water is fine, come on in bro.

Most of the AW and WB types all ended up here. Some have burned out and moved on.
But some of us are still here.

Flew WB from 96 - 2000 Last couple years mostly in the Historical Arena.

I remember a "usa" from warbirds, maybe it's the same guy.  If you ever flew in the squadron select series in Warbirds you'll find our Friday Squad Ops match up pretty well.

[Frodo]

Yea I was wondering too. Had a USA in our squad, The Red Falcons.

-rebel here from WB's.

WB's is almost painful to play and/or watch now.   I seriously do not know how anybody can continue playing that thing. 


C'mon in, dude.  If ya want a friendly duel to shake off the rust and get used to the system, gimmie a holler. 

[phatzo]

any old warbirds guys here post your wb handle if its different to your AH handle so we sorta know who we all are. phatzo in AH was addman in WB

[phatzo]

and I have to agree with rebel it was getting extremly painful, sorry save but its just going down hill
