Greetings all!
I have very fond memories of playing this game in my early-mid teens.
20 years later, I had the urge to fly a P-40, and in my search for a good WWII combat flight simulator, wondered if Aces High was still going.
'Lo and behold, it was!
Some of you (especially those on late at night/early in the morning, as I generally play at night here in Japan, which is the deadest time of day) may have seen me flying around in an I-16, P-39, or P-40.
I love flying inferior early/mid war planes, as I always have done.
I still suck, but after about a month, I'm able to probably shoot down at least one plane for every three times I'm shot down, which seems like a big achievement considering my first 100 or so deaths resulted in only a tiny handful of kills, and it took me 2 weeks to actually be able to reliably put *some* rounds on target!
Anyway, my timezone is weird, and there are way way way fewer people playing these days than there used to be, but I hope to get somewhat involved in the community, make some friends, and possibly take part in more coordinated events or missions. If you ever see me on and are looking for a Wingman or fighter escort, I'm always available to hire and have no national loyalty, so just call out to me in a PM or on /200! I really enjoy operating as part of a semi-disciplined unit or team when I can.
I think I'm enjoying this game every bit as much as I used to. Let's see if we can't keep it going another 20 years.
