One thing I love about Aces High
« on: January 29, 2020, 01:49:50 PM »
There is no other air combat game that puts you into Axis V Allied scenario situations and gives you the feeling of what it was really like to enter a battle with your squad.

In FSO for example, you are in a squad, you take off with the squad and fly for about 20 minutes getting alt. During this time, you chat with your squad, get to know them better, laugh and have a good time. Then all of the sudden you see the reds far out. Your adrenaline starts to kick in, the moment is there. You see about 15-20 enemies heading your way. The squad gets serious. Then some start to get shot down. You feel bad for them. You hear coms "multiple bogies" "check 6 check 6" and everyone gets into the combat spirit. Your hands are sweating, your body is trembling, your heart is pounding. You shoot down your first guy and feel so much thrill and gratification.

There's just nothing else like it. I love that about this game.

Well said. :cheers: FSO is where it's at.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

many many many moons ago when I used to be doing some of the scenarios for the ava arena, I got to write a couple with icons off. you wanna have a blast? do something where no one has icons. you see the dot, but don't have a clue what it is. you can't spend the next few minutes planning your fight based on what's approaching. you need to actually get close up before your know if it's a 109, fw, another pony, etc. THAT was a blast.

Wish i could honestly... 8PM on the west coast is hard for me to make since my wife is still awake (yes, I said wife). I definitely  try to make them when I can.

My post also applies to other special events as well. Scenarios and Snapshots, even combat challenge. Its awesome entering that big fight with your squad. I love the special events in AH. They are really something special about AH that no other game can compare.
