  • do you REALLY need a joystick for this game?

  • No, it's possible to fly without a joystick. A very few pilots claim that they can even fly competitively with a joystick. However, the vast, vast majority of Aces High pilots agree with me that trying to substitute the mouse for a joystick is difficult, cumbersome, awkward, confusing, disorienting, disturbing, and noncompetitive.

  • lol was that MA or a setup DF cuz ive played the game for a year an ive been in a few figths like that

  • That fight took place in their old "free 8-player" mode, which is no longer available, unfortunately. However, the online "Main Arena" is amazing, and fights like the one I described in the movie are still available. Also, I've heard that they may someday bring back an 8-player mode, but it will no longer be free. I look forward to that, because I prefer the smaller groups where I can set up a historically and/or geographically accurate encounter from time to time.

  • how come your plane responds so well, mine takes 10 seconds to react

  • Well shrien, I remember thinking exactly those thoughts when I first began. It seemed everybody could out-turn me. With experience, I learned to keep my aircraft operating at or near optimum speed for each altitude. Every aircraft has "speed zones", at every altitude, where it reacts and turns optimally. An experienced opponent will know these details about his own aircraft, and will try to force you to fight on his terms, when your own aircraft is way outside that optimal zone.
