Hi Ecliptik,

>Fields are placed so close together that having twice the range would allow penetration too deep into enemy territory without the use of drop tanks, [...]

Penetration depth on a small, densely populated map would always be limited by the amount of opposition you encounter.

>[...] and four engined bombers would pretty much be able to fly across the full breadth of a map and back again.

Hm, that's what they did in real life, isn't it? :-)

Hi Kweassa,

>ps) And don't go anywhere from these boards!! You're a valuable asset to HT forums

Kind words :-)

But it's not me, it's the interaction between so many enthusiastic people that makes HT forums a valuable asset to everyone.

Could someone plse explain to me the point of all this?

I have posted a 1000 times about a game that I have only just played for 2 weeks . (ok to me a leetle weird)

I don't like the fact that I can't fly for hours. ( Drop tanks and rear fields should sort this one out)

I don't like channel 1. ( Who does, that's what squelch is for rtfm next time.)

I don't like radar/want more radar/want less radar. ( am guessing here as it started to get boring - radar is very seldom on all the time - pesky enemy keep flying long missions and killing it.)

If you don't like it fine - why on earth should anyone pay attention to you based on your two weeks experience - move along find a game you do like. Try Fighter Ace or Warbirds or go play IL2 FB in a room with 3 buddies - that's about it right now for online WW2 air sims.

The only people who should pay attention are those who'd like me to stay and pay - HiTech Creations, Inc.

If you'd read my first post, you'd see that I posted my comments because they obviously were interested in why players didn't join after the trial period.

>Could someone plse explain to me the point of all this?

RTFM :-)

HoHun have you played WWIIOL ?
No radar (That IS great, you actually need to look out for enemy), no fuel-burn multiplier (109E can stay up about 1,5h if carefull with throttle), No Ch.1 (much better signal to noise ratio...) and last but not least they don't have VERY ANNOYING midi-sequence playing in the site visitor hits first (get rid of that, please...).

4000 odd people seem to like it - 1 doesn't, do the math, even a person with a super ego would realise that a supplier is not going to jump when you say frog.

Have lots of fun in your new game.

RTFM.

As I pointed out, I merely answered a direct question from Hitech Creations.

lol guess the fact that you never bothered to find out that you could squelch chan 1 and the rtfm remark really got you going - wasn't meant as a personal attack on your intellect or ability - merely to show that two weeks isn't enough in my opinion to give you a thorough grasp of the game.

Two weeks and you might have some idea of the FM and may have mapped yr stick but that's about it, if after 6 months of playing and taking part in CT, MA, Scenario's (awesome btw), CAP and Snapshots you said - Bye all this is not for me - then I and most reasonable people would respect your opinion and wish you well in your search for a game you enjoy - most of us have been in the same position at one time or another.

As it is you merely sound like an arrogant whiner who doesn't really know what he's talking about and tells all the other kids in the playground that he's going home so there!!

No-one cares, not at all, not in the least, bye......

If you had read my first post, you'd have realized that I know .squelch.

However, I don't want to squelch 100% of the players. I'd like to stay in contact with the friendly 20%. Now how do I do that by the book, Mr RTFM? :-)

>No-one cares, not at all, not in the least, bye......

Hitech Creations asked "Why did you decide not to join the game?" If they care, that's enough for me to post here.

Flame me all you want - it only proves that you care about my opinion, too :-)

Henning (HoHun)

Why I didn't join Aces High

You're welcome in my room anytime HoHun, I've set up almost the same settings as the MA (fuelburn is 1.5 tho). We're having regular missions with everyone in formation or anything like that.

Also we only fight without icons, so all icons (even friendly) should be off, this makes the whole mission the most realistic as it can be.

1) a. Dont look at the radar dots while in the plane.
b. HTC could introduce a way to disable your peronal radar if so desired.

2) a. P51D with drop tanks

3) a. Ignore it, or
b. Squelch it

4) a. sign up for the game then
b. play game

Actually there was a need for a 2x fuel multi when we were playing exclusivly on smaller maps. Early beta was I believe only 128x128. Most of the rest were 256x.

If we went with all 512x512 maps at 1x1 scale and realistic field distances we could lose the fuel multi.

Problem is thats going to double to triple the time you fly to find the enemy.

While that would indeed appeal to a few HTC has to appeal to as many as possible in order to succeed.

If you want long penitration flights into enemy territory, try the A20 NOE.

As long as you stay a reasonable distance away from enemy fields no one will know your coming.

25% fuel on it will take you a LONG ways, so feel free to load up.

Hohun's assessment is simply "constructive criticism" and he has some very valid points. There's no need to "beat him up" over his opinion. I am sure you realize that this won’t change his mind anyway.

Schaden,

Hohun's isn’t some nUb; he’s been active in many of the game forums and has contributed even if he hasn't bought a subscription to AH. In fact you yourself are still a bit wet behind the ears so we will chalk your emotions up to "nUb fanboi'ism".

You didn't have to read this thread.
