Oh horsepucky.  The only thing No-HO's did was inspire the exact same tired old tactic-engagment sequence.  Hmmm...

1) See enemy

2) Turn straight at enemy

3) Fly through enemy

4) rinse and repeat till someone makes a mistake

As much as I hate HO's in Aces High, I'd NEVER wish they take it away.  It aint the fact you can HO.. It's the idiot who can't do anything else that makes it bad.

Not having HO's was the single worst part of Air Warrior, simply because it had such an effect on everything else.  Saying it made better pile-its is laughable.

I agree Tumor.  AW has brainwashed many into thinking if you put your face in front of the barrel, you won't get your head blown off.

Being able to choose whether to save a film or delete it at the end of every flight would be VERY nice.

(b) bridges over water.

You don't fly in many AH events do you. ;) We have bridges.  Blew one up about a month ago that was spanning the Rhine River.

I miss being able to fly a Spitfire. It's the one plane in Aces High that causes me the most grief, but was the one plane in  Airwarrior I was known most for. Maybe I should talk to leviathn about lessons.

I didn't fly the Spit much, mostly because I refused to be a conformist! :p I did most of my turnfighting in 109s and 38s, everything else in the P-51D, so worrying about how to get a Spit with the factory down wasn't of much value to me.  I did hear that there was a way around it, just like there was a hidden base between C and B land to the west behind the mountain.

Amen, brother!  Was fun shooting down unsuspecting Spit pilots who dawdled too long on their gun run.
