Considering Aces High

[Krupinski]

If you're coming from War Thunder SB mode, be aware this game has permanent icons on friendly and foe. If you try and enjoy the flight models of this game, check out IL2: Battle of Stalingrad too for another great sim.

Never bothered to do more than look at films of iL2.  Then again I know what AH is capable of.    Not everyone's cup of tea maybe, but certainly a broad stroke of different things that are not "scripted", including win the war, king of the hill, reenactment scenarios, dueling arenas / events, etc. 

Actually, the back and forth banter on the BBS is sometimes popcorn worthy   

If you chose the free 2 week subscription, please check out the Open Beta of the newest version to be released soon.  Remember it is Beta, and expect some unresolved bugs until release date.

  @ Alpini comment on the first page. That's as far as I have read but I like this game. It definitely keeps the mind active and the realism compared to WoWP and War Thunder is off the charts. I highly recommend you try this game

Hello pilots,
 I have a few questions as far as the flight model's of AH. Is it mostly arcade style or realistic/simulator and/or combination of all. Reason I'm asking is ive played WoWP for over 2 years with a joystick and it is sort of enjoyable because you can have good success with the stick, however the planes do things that real planes could never do so ya its heavy arcade. Ive been playing War Thunder now for about 6 mos and while I really like the flight characteristics and realism, the GAME COMPANY  just has put little effort to better aid the joystick users. While I can fly well with it, the reticle bounce is so bad, it makes it extremely difficult to stay on target, even with adjusting all the fine tuning controls. So I'm looking for a game that has a flight model similar to War Thunder yet allows the joystick user's some competitive success and feedback from you guys on Aces would be greatly appreciated.

The learning curve is steep.  But.......................tot ally worth it.   Dive in.  LIVE. DIE. REPEAT.   You will be addicted to the challenge in short order.    (Ask me about my rage fits when I got shot down early on.    It drove me insane!   But I am learning. I am improving.   I stuck with it and now I laugh when I die--with a facepalm.)

Come on in.  The water's fine!
