Nice, that's not bad at all. BTW IIRC the bombers you see in formation are AIs. When you fly a bomber you get two AI bombers that fly in formation with you. And if you get the chance, hop into the player created missions when they're up. The ones where they go after the enemy CV is always fun when you can get a lot of players to join. Mass formation of bombers, fighter escorts, torp bombers, etc. Oh, and watch out for the Gooneys. ;-)
One of my all-time favorites. I can remember some epic tank battles back in the day, and the PT boat missions were awesome, especially set at night. In other words, Only MOAR!!
Please play more of this. I used to play this when I was younger, the community is great and the gameplay is amazingly intense and fun, I'm so glad to see a you tuber finally play this!
I remember messing around with this game when I was a kid, I'd always get ads for it when playing the history channel's Dogfights game so I gave it a shot. My young brain had absolutely no idea what to do back then, but the PT boats and tanks were fun to mess around in. I had no clue it was still around.
Phly thanks so much for doing an AH video. This is by far one of my favorite flight sims and I'd love to see you make more of these. Keep up the awesome work!
nice to see Phly play Aces High because i used to play it when i was little (it came out when i was around 4 or 6) and ti is cool to see this game again i see it handled time well,
i like the new sound effects phyl, sounds epic for your intro the passing jet is amazing wearing headphones is now the best option to watching your content.
ACE HIGH monthly sub is $14.95. The flight models are VERY accurate and there's ground vehicle action as well. The primary Melee arena varies in player size....50 - 300. I've been enjoying this sim since 2003.
Can you re-visit the P38-Lightning? I just got that plane, and I don't know how best to play it, and in your last video you also seemed confused as well. So I was wondering if you could do either a video on how to play the lightning, or even better, a video on how to play all the different classes of aircraft. Please make a video like that.
oh my god oh my god oh my god I played this game like 8-9 years ago I can't believe it's still around it's literally like a massively online IL-2 it's amazing and it even had tanks, c-47s, pt boats and aa trucks
hey Phly, i just want to say thanks for making this. with your massive fanbase, maybe the olayers will return to the awsome game that is aces high. also, if you enjoy the game, consider this a formal invatation to join the litaraly ranked 1 squadron.
Glad to see you and DDG flying AH3. Regarding your one hit death, it probably sounded like a single hit, and single rounds CAN kill if they hit your cockpit - more likely with 20/30mm rounds than rifle caliber - but it's possible it was just a solid burst. There are many, many great shots in the game, and when you blow up as your plane did it frequently means your fuel/ammo/whatever blew from an accurate short burst. Or your cockpit was shredded. You both did great, getting kills and smoking that PT boat, you would both fit right in, and be working others over in no time. You'll find AH different than WT, a little more complex, really accurate flight models and energy management, yet not as tough as IL2 or DCS in terms of engine and systems management. The competition and skill level is varied, but at least 1/2 the guys you run into will be pretty good. Lots of guys talking about your review with DDG, really happy you checked AH3 out. Come fly a scenario, they are THE highest level of fun and participation in AH3. Being in a fight with hundreds and hundreds, it's pretty insane, and will give you a new experience I'm sure in terms of WW2 combat flight sims. Great job.
I would add that yes, a single burst into the cockpit will result in instant death of the pilot. And the way the game handles such 'head shots' is to blow the plane up at the moment the pilot dies and is dumped back to the tower.
Also, regarding the carriers moving, it's a common problem, but you can watch on the clipboard map and see the course the carrier is set on, and if any jerk offs change it while you are on approach, as it takes a few seconds to react and start turning. So, clipboard up/map sized when doing CV landing and takeoff ops = good times. If you have a Rift, for god's sake try it in game, AH3 has the best view system in any flight sim set up yet, for VR simplicity in rear/etc views. It's really well implemented.
kewl to see you givin AH a shot:) ive played for 15 years (happy888/sabre888) and it far and above is my fav game. it DOES require patience to learn, but thats a big part of what has kept me playin for so long. biggest adjustment for more modern gamers is the pace of this game in general.(imagine an open arena format for world of warships instead of insta-battles) those wonderful pay-off moments tend to take a bit longer to set up. in that way, it is tactically more realistic than most other comparable games. in other words, the best players in AH are also the most patient. all that said, im not sure it would make great youtube material without substantial editing. unless your intent was to make it instructive like vuduvince. the developers havnt focused alot on makin the game shinny or explody, simply to have it play well.
The "no repair" challenge, no repairs, no restock in capped zones, you can put out fires, for added difficulty, if you want, only take half the maximum ammunition.
Forget about War Thunder! That arcade will never have the numbers of live players that Aces High has. BTW ~ What are you using to capture flight video, and do you use a hotkey transparent to AH interface?
7 years ago it did not look like this at all. That was Aces High 2. Aces High 3 has a new graphics, sound, and input engine. A lot of new features have been added and support for VR as well.
I don't like waiting around for timed areas. I like to just get up and fly, and if I want to keep re-arming and flying the same sortie and rack up kills, I can do that in AH3. Not so in Warthunder. Some nights I'll spend hours in the same aircraft, and re-arm 20 times.
Seems Legit looked like they were using TracIR .... although Aces High 3 has VR support, some have said that it is the best VR they have seen with regards to any of the other flight Sims that are VR capable
Ive been seriously pondering getting back into AH but War Thunder looks ssooooooo damn good. Tell Devil that C-hogs are EVIL!! You and Devil should sortie some bombers. !!! Good stuff
No this is track-IR. A track-IR is what sim players used befor a VR headset. But it basically works the same way. You got a webcam on top of your computer screen and some lights on your head and it will track the movement you make with your head and thus turning your ingame views. Also if you want to, you can use a VR headset asswel ofc :)
Immersion is there for sure with that view, and if you re asking, well yea. DD and you could make a real entertaining serie about this game. GJ Phly, id have a baby with you for sure. Oh was that too soon?
Would you guys like to see some more Aces High?! Devildog and I are thinking of some huge bomber formation gameplay, let me know!
PhlyDaily you should do a stream!!!!!!!!!!! War thunder
PhlyDaily yeah this game is awesome
PhlyDaily Hell yeah, do it for Datt Mamon
try the tanks
yeah y not and can u help me on how to play the fv4202 in war thunder I just keep get my ass kick
The difference between aces high and war thunder is that people that play aces high are really... really good at what they do
LeadStorm , all it is is a lot of practice. plenty of player to help teach you the ropes
I’m thinking about getting back into this game. It’s the most like actually flying a plane I have ever experienced
What's the player base like these days? Used to play this in the early 2000.
200 player servers at prime time
Nice, that's not bad at all. BTW IIRC the bombers you see in formation are AIs. When you fly a bomber you get two AI bombers that fly in formation with you.
And if you get the chance, hop into the player created missions when they're up. The ones where they go after the enemy CV is always fun when you can get a lot of players to join. Mass formation of bombers, fighter escorts, torp bombers, etc.
Oh, and watch out for the Gooneys. ;-)
PhlyDaily wait do more people play arcade feels like ton do that I guess you guys mean custom games.
Same with me, and I was playing WarBirds before Aces High. Stopped playing a looong time ago though.
Warbirds, Aces High, Air Warrior. I miss the bigger Arenas that these older games have. Something that's missing from War Thunder.
One of my all-time favorites. I can remember some epic tank battles back in the day, and the PT boat missions were awesome, especially set at night. In other words, Only MOAR!!
holy shot aces high, 10 years of my life go into that
Please play more of this. I used to play this when I was younger, the community is great and the gameplay is amazingly intense and fun, I'm so glad to see a you tuber finally play this!
You really should do more od these, it's fun to watch!
BTW
I don't see your gear out
I remember messing around with this game when I was a kid, I'd always get ads for it when playing the history channel's Dogfights game so I gave it a shot. My young brain had absolutely no idea what to do back then, but the PT boats and tanks were fun to mess around in. I had no clue it was still around.
oh my god, this game is still around? I used to play it back in high school, how has it aged?
Phly thanks so much for doing an AH video. This is by far one of my favorite flight sims and I'd love to see you make more of these. Keep up the awesome work!
Aces High has its own label for UA-cam.
Back in the day, people played this. The pilots are skilled as fuck.
Not all of them. Take me for instance lol.
Game ID is Coogan.
i was trash too, but i had fun. the long flights were made great by the community/chat.
i Love Aces High 2,, long games, lots of teamplay, and missions
nice to see Phly play Aces High because i used to play it when i was little (it came out when i was around 4 or 6) and ti is cool to see this game again i see it handled time well,
Man I haven't played that game in forever. Really fun game
i like the new sound effects phyl, sounds epic for your intro the passing jet is amazing wearing headphones is now the best option to watching your content.

OH MY GOD I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME! I never imagined you would play this, Phly. Thank you so much!!
@PhlyDaily what would you rather in real life just for flying: P-51D, Bf109, Spitfire, A6M2, or a yak 3?
oh my god oh my god oh my god I played this game like 8-9 years ago I can't believe it's still around it's literally like a massively online IL-2 it's amazing and it even had tanks, c-47s, pt boats and aa trucks
not to mention they had an ingenious way to balance bombers and high "tier" aircraft
omg I loved aces high!!!!
Nice, a new phlight game for the channel!
PHLY!!! PLEASE MORE OF THIS! WITH BARON! SLICK! AND WADE! AND DEVIL! PLEASEEEE!!!!
He's not playing with baron any more.
Manos GR wait why?
Manos GR why?
something to do with the powerhouse? am i right?
HELL YEAH! Used to be pro at Aces High! :P
Love the video! Cannot thank you enough for the Aces High publicity. The Pigs On The Wing invite all of you WT players to come get some. OINK
yes please this was soo good to watch.
Attempt #17
Take out the italian Combo:
The SM.79 Sparviero & M.C.202 Folgore!
hey Phly, i just want to say thanks for making this. with your massive fanbase, maybe the olayers will return to the awsome game that is aces high. also, if you enjoy the game, consider this a formal invatation to join the litaraly ranked 1 squadron.
I just tried this in VR, and i absolutely loved it!
My dads squadron is the 88th fighter squadron head hunters, they fly mainly p38's and if you see Mbailey33 anywhere near you... run
Is this game worth it? Trying to fund a realistic flight sim with actual stats.
Get DCS
UnfixedCarp803 I had it and I couldn't get into a plane. I could get into games but there wasn't a way to fly
Well you were doing something wrong then. You can only fly the SU-25 and the TF-51 unless you bought the other planes.
DCS World
aces high is a very enjoyable game.. if it didnt cost 10$ per month or smth like that..
Hell yeah! I used to play this game all the time! You should definitely do some more videos on it
I remember my days flying with the Flying Fury in mid war quite fondly although that was years ago now
Dude, I have waited YEARS for you to make a vido on Aces High. I fucking LOVED this game.
also i wanna tell you that you make great content man keeps me laughing from beginnig to end every vid KEEP IT UP
I remember playing this a lot back in the day. Good memories :)

You gotta have to retake your flying license Phly.
You guys are having too much fun!

If only UA-cam had a setting to censor profanity. Other than that, love the vid, Phly. Wouldn't mind seeing more of this game on the channel.
Where I find this game? 🤔🤔
played a lot with ET37 AND EZrhino a couple years ago. good fun. awsome gameplay. high skillcap...
Wow, I remember playing this so long ago
You almost Scott Manley'd that landing.
The "no repair" challenge, no repairs, no restock in capped zones, you can put out fires, for added difficulty, if you want, only take half the maximum ammunition.

Phly do you play in vr?
Haven't even heard of the game, but I'm down to see more.
Did phly used to play with baron?
Forget about War Thunder! That arcade will never have the numbers of live players that Aces High has.
BTW ~ What are you using to capture flight video, and do you use a hotkey transparent to AH interface?
Aces High may not have the prettiest graphics but it is a great game!
awesome landings
FINALLY YOU COVER THIS GAME, PLEASE KEEP MAKING VIDEOS OF THIS, IF NOT JUST COMMIT SODUKU FOR ONCE
this game is awesome I used to play like 3 years ago
this game was the shit when it first came out, the game that got me into flight Sims. amazing
This game looks so much better than I remember from like 7 years ago, are there still playable tanks?
7 years ago it did not look like this at all. That was Aces High 2. Aces High 3 has a new graphics, sound, and input engine. A lot of new features have been added and support for VR as well.
Please more Phly!!

How do you like this game compared to Warthunder?
I don't like waiting around for timed areas. I like to just get up and fly, and if I want to keep re-arming and flying the same sortie and rack up kills, I can do that in AH3. Not so in Warthunder. Some nights I'll spend hours in the same aircraft, and re-arm 20 times.
nice landing Plhy and some b 17 bomber formation would be so cool
Speaking of Aces High, take out the Spitfire Mk IIb and play as Iron Maiden's song Aces High!
After soo many time ace hig still a good game
Maybe you should try out IL2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad
Hi there, can you try the hampden and t35 tank....it's stalin premium fun.

Phly cant you start "top 5 epic plays" again cuz i loved watching them. 😔🙂
This is what war thunder should strive for.
"I don't see your landing gear out ?"
I always enjoy Sim gameplay. You totally should play some more of this. So people still play this game online?? That's crazy.
Yeah and AH3 just came out! Hoooraaaay! (wanna fly with me?!?!)
Can you play some DCS?
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid...

Yes it supports VR
