I just don't get this?

[Kingonads]

I like how he totaly avoided my question.  I am still wandering how U can concider yourself a expert on FMs I know pilots who fly UH-60s and they dont know how a P51D or even a Boeing 777 flys let alone how it should be modeled.  I know a man who granddad was a FW190D9 pilot and my grandad was a ADA gunner on a M16 anti-aircraft halftrack during WWII, I am by no means a expert on any of them nore was my grandfather.  The only thing I can tell U is that I do enjoy the game that HT has put out and yes there R some things that it falls short in but they are being remidied 1 by 1 and in a year or so I see a wholey different AH out than is out there today.  Unlike WWIIOL I have seen the game from day 1 and I was a advid supporter of the game untill they start the pay for play before the game was even near what the box promised or anything else for that matter,  I will give WWIIOL another 6 months maybe till next june 6th if it is what I expect then I might give it another try but without pilot bails or a half way decent FM it is for the most part a Flight sim crap heap, for now I will play Rogue Spear and Ghost Recon for my ground combat fix untill they figure out what they R going to do, I hope it survives the next year but it dont look good, cause when Starwars Galaxies gets released and with games like Dark Age of Camelot out there setting new standards on the MMORPG games like WWIIOL will just get left to the curb, oh and I forgot one that is in the same group as WWIIOL and its planetfall I am not a big fan of the setting but I think it will surpass WWIIOL by leaps and bounds concideing they were started about the same time but Planetfall is still in construction and is not rushed to be released. Maybe someone will get another game right on release.     so my comrad I hope U will end your Troll War and leave, dont leave angry dont leave sad, just LEAVE.

CHA-CHINK!

I think I just heard the pullchain on the lightbulb being yanked!

Please forgive poor Pongo as he is addicted to the sarcasm crack.   We were thinking of gettin him involved in a 20 step program(its really really addictive), but alas, he's just too entertaining as is.

Can I leave happily  

Anyway i've decided to stay here and play the game a little longer.  I'm sure most of the things i've mentioned will be fixed speedily now that i've brought them to the attention of the developers.

In regards to your question of how I know the flight models, basically, when you get skilled enough and have flown the number of hours i've flown in flight simulators all around the world it becomes like second nature.  You sense these things, like ZEN really.  Your no longer playing a computer simulation, you seem to meld into it as if your an integral part of the experience.   In essence you become the flight model.  Its that simple.  Thats how I know.

Ohh Yeah !!!! aw3 FR was a good FM  ??/ get a grip LOL

Pyemia-

I give you big points for taking that like a sport. S!

ROFL  

Well I guess I was wrong, MG just trolls to cause upset and this guy quite clearly is a comedian.

 I'd bet not. You were already doing that quite well enough. Pongo's post just spiced it all up by adding a very zingy flavour to an otherwise bland troll.

Oh yeah?  How many's that then?  Got a logbook?


I've got around 2000 hours in Aces High, 4000 hours in EAW (mainly spits), 500 hours in CFS2, bout 10 hours in WB, 50 hours in WW2OL (again, mainly spits), bout 3 hours in IL2, 1000 hours in TFX (bloody old game), 200 hours in Top Gun (even older game on the CPC464) and maybe 10,000 hours in Harrier Attack (if ya aint heard of it ya aint old enough to get the joke).

We have guys in here that have been spending 150 hours a month flying since open beta (3 years?) - that's 5400 hours in Aces High alone, we've also got guys who've been flying in sims since AW DOS all those years ago.


So when you've spent as many hours listening to numpties who seem to think they've got more experience than my entire squad put together......you get a little obtuse about the whole thing.

How many actual, real life flight hours have you logged?  none?  There's a surprise.  Me either.

Technically and historically it was Yes

   

[Pyemia]

Suave1 - you mean so you guys can hunt me and harrass me for voicing my opinions  

[Swoop]

Pyemia, dunno if you noticed in the 30 minutes you've spend flying AH online.....but enemy aircraft icons only show the type of plane, not the pilots name.  So no-one can 'hunt you down' next time you go into the main arena (if you ever do).  Friendly planes who can ID you cant shoot you because of something called 'killshooter'.

The only thing people can do with your username is look up how many kills you have.  So is that why you dont wanna tell us?  Been shot down by a C47 while in a HOG C?  

 

[Kieran]

The main difference between Pyemia and FDSS is Pyemia is making the attempt to rationalize. I for one wish to cut him slack for that. He doesn't know the history of the game and the thousands of topics of discussions we have worn out, so don't blame him for trying to re-invent the wheel. He really doesn't know better, it seems.

'Constantly defeated'???? who says it is?


Leather clad Luftweenie mode on>>.

The Bf109, especially the G series, is more than a match for any aircraft modelled in Aces High if flown to its strengths, has almost limitless WEP, climbs like a monkey on crack, and it's roll rate allows you to 'out turn' pretty much any A/C by rolling in the vertical plane.
If you are having trouble with it against La5 /La7 s, you are doing something wrong, simple as that.

Hey, that's what they say in Everquest, or on the PVP servers anyway, because if you kill someone, you can loot an item from the corpse.  You play Everquest?

It's weird sometimes playing both games. You get mixed up.  Sometimes I'll be in Everquest and shout out, "Let's get some P-47s and Jabo Terrorantula out in South Ro!"

Or I'll be in Aces High and try to cast a Root spell on a P51 thats running from me, or a Spirit of Wolf on myself if the situation is reversed.

What about it HiTech?  Maybe you can perk Spells, so for 200 perk points you can get SOW, or maybe Superior Healing to fix your airplane.

"Druids - the NIKI dweebs of Everquest"  Now that's a troll.

What am I talking about?  I have a druid and I fly Niks.
