Those numbers are typical for weekday mornings.  They peak in US primetime usually between 120 and 200 people.  Still lots of fun to be had.  Sometimes you need to look a bit harder to find it.
What year?

2023, and 2024.. Friday evenings being the busiest.

Other nights depending on the map.  Was 130 on last night.. a Tuesday.  Plenty of fights going on both sides.

sorry got to disagree, this game hasn't seen 200 in a very very long time.  Hightec doesn't even play it anymore.

This would be me. Started playing when AH first came on line. Had to stop in 2009. Thinking about starting again. Is it worth still worth it?

Still the best all around WWII game out there. Eastern US prime time sees over 100 players online, some weekend numbers get to 130-150

This last weekend good enough for you?  In the slow summer months where we always see numbers drop some.

I remember when our entire squadron transferred here when it was AH brand new.

I am ending my motorcycle riding days soon as I hit 70, which is around the corner.
So the only freedom I have left is here.

Met a real life Tuskegee Airman at a mini con in Redmond Wa. A building with cockpits in it, just so you could go rent one and fly until you were tired or broke.

A horse is a horse of course, unless he is on your six!

Hiya Bear,

If you would like we could meet up in the TA, and I can help get your vox set up, and any other AH thing you might need help with.

I'm available after 9 pm est/ 6pm pst weekdays, and relatively open on the weekends depending on what is going on. I'm West Coast so nothing to early.

Welcome back Bear!

I have a site running with a bunch of tips for the game. Might be a good refresher course for you. Link is in my signature.

I think original poster meant "aces high pilot from early 2000s" and not "old dude".
