I kind of approach AH like a big game hunter. My primary aim is to bag pelts and live to land them. If you die while you bag them you really just became the prey yourself. Hunting human prey is really the ultimate hunting experience and using WWII aircraft to do it is just that much more fun and immersive.

Lately, I cruise the forums.

Been two years, and the addiction lies dormant. But the day of relapse may not be long off.

After all, I'm essentially doing the equivalent of driving by the liquor store, over and over....

I also live to fly, fly to live.  I never GV.  I love the high altitude buff hunts, or escorting them, or flying them.  I enjoy the vast plane selection and using many different types keeps the game fresh.  I love it all, including the turnfights on the deck, I'm just not going to start there.  Having a great squad also keeps everything fresh.  The right squad adds alot to the game, finding one that acts in a civil manner, does not argue within themselves, and fights with honor while populated with legendary killers  :rock 's.

1. Fly in a ham-fisted, skillless manner and hope to get a kill or two before getting pwned.

2. Bomb GVs without mercy and relish every Wirbel kill with a quiet chuckle of satisfaction.

3. Decimate entire groups of vulchers in the trusty 37mm field gun.

How do you like to play this great game? What do you like to do and find fun in the game?

For me, I like to help take bases. FH's need to be dropped? I'll do that. GV's near or in town? I'll kill them. Nobody's bringing troops? I'll bring them. I like to do the stuff that is most needed to help capture a base, because who doesn't love that feeling when the text buffer tells everyone the base you've all worked so hard to take has been taken?

I also love to fly to live. Every sortie I fly, I plan on returning back to base alive; with or without kills. I love going out into a fight in my plane, getting a few kills, and then coming back home alive (though I don't enjoy the massive furballs and stay clear of them and Titanic Tuesday). I love the small fights where, after a few sorties, you know who will be piloting that 109K4 before you even get into the fight or get the kill. I have so much more fun going into a fight, getting shot up, and making it back to base alive with no kills than going into a fight, getting 6 kills, and then dieing. I always get really REALLY annoyed when I die, especially if it's because I did something I should have known better to do. Even in the most fun fights, once I die it really takes all my urge to takeoff again away and I log off for a few hours. It's not as bad if I die in a great 1 on 1 fight to a really great stick though (I always give those guys a  :salute )


So what do you like to do most in AHII?

Exactly like this, minus the getting annoyed when i die part  :aok

Basically i enjoy playing the "whole" game

I love flying for the thrill. The feeling of killing 2-5 enemy contacts in my P51B outnumbered and you need all your SA and ACM to come to victory. i also love wingman/flight tactics. My squad is divided into 4 man flights and each in a flight has a dedicated wingman.
I also fly to live. I need to land almost always and most of my squaddies also fly the same way as it is part of our doctrine to never leave a man behind. Whether they are squaddies or not. In a fighter sweep mission i try to make sure that as many of us land successfully together.

I do not like the feeling of using people in mission as fodder whether its an NOE, bomb raid, fighter sweep, or general GV or air raid on a base.

I hate that fodder feeling...

Killing bombers with a 110 and sidewinders.

Complaining about not having a Me410 so I can kill bombers faster and at higher alts.

Har! Sidewinder is a missile. 110 has fused rockets & they don't even have prox fuses.  :D I love it too.  :banana:

I love getting in those impossible situations and seeing how long I can live for.  I love the challenge of mastering a new airplane and seeing my progress when fighting against guys I know are much better than me. 

I like defending a base against the horde in a gv.  Hell I just love this game, pretty much all aspects.

How do I fly Aces High...  :headscratch: Hmm.. Badly, I try to "fly to live", but I rarely make it home. So I keep re-upping until I hit something and survive.

I did enjoy escorting NOE raids, but now gameplay is all about defending from the bish 'Super Horde', but at least it's target rich.
