The approach to fighting in AH seems to be more about knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your plane and your enemies plane and playing your strength against his weakness   Not knowing who the enemy is removes that thing about psyching yourself out with "Oh crap, it's Algore...or Liet ...or Grimbergen".  No it's a Spitfire at high altitude, he's diving on the airbase with loads of energy for high G turns and manuevers.  Every one seems to help keep eye out for everyone elses 6, because with most of these planes you can't see behind you.  The overall mechanics seems to really encourage team play over dueling which extends even more into cooperation by the planes and ground vehicles working together to take over towns.  The GV play seems to be almost as good as the flying although I've barely tried the vehicles so far. Overall, it's a good place to be post JG.  A very nice community.

But here is a html (just web pages, you cant log in and do stuff) back up I made last year, shortly after Gazillion removed Steve Hartmeyer from JG.

Stars Open - A new home for STARS http://www.jumpgate.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1335995176/1#1 Jumpgate.co.uk Forums/Stars Open http://www.jumpgate.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1335995176/1#1 Hi everyone, I really miss JG...but Aces High is turning into an addiction.  I can't wait to get back to it.  And get this.....it has Tanks and armed vehicles, Shore batteries and aircraft carrier task forces, all of which can be controlled by players.To take territory from the enemy requires guys in tanks and troop transport vehicles to attack the towns that are associated with all air fields.  The tanks need support from the air and the air support needs fighters protecting the area from other fighters. The comms system, which is mostly voice based, is cool too.  You can communicate with any friendlies in the area by pressing F12 when you see a list for the radio and you can set up private an squad text and voice chats over 5 channels.  It's hard to explain here but trust me it works well. The other day I was flying around getting to know the game a bit, by doing instead of reading, and came across about 5 or 6 friendly tanks outside an unfriendly airbase.  They called up on F12, could I take out the anti aircraft guns around the town as they are dangerous to tanks too.  I agreed and started doing fast dives at the towns ack ack pits.  Once all 6 or so were dead the tanks moved in and started shooting up the town.  Once they were in the center, one of the tanks let loose some troops and the town surrendered.  This allowed me to land at the air base that had just been shooting at me.  It was totally random and very cool.  Great fun! Anyway, we're keeping our grief at bay over JG by getting into a learning curve, but it's very cool in AH so far.  Please, some of you join us when you can. I miss you all.
