you are right wildthing... why would anyone complain?   It would be like complaining  if they were beaten with a new baseball  bat.... I mean the guy went to all the trouble to purchase the bat and all and it was new...

If pizza map was a favor then don't do me any favors..

The map was a well meant gesture to get us away from the original maps that were in rotation at the time.  You should actually be glad that they started the whole "make your own map"  thing or you wouldnt be able to fly your festerMA.  At least EVEN you could show some respect.

It's too bad HTC could breath some needed new life back into this game with some simple fixes - a kind of peace offering for so grossly missing the AHII delivery date, I just hope we see AHII soon, I find my enthusiasm to play draining daily every time I log in. I just ordered IL2 FB because the MA has gotten so bad. We'll see.



Welp, if HTC was a big shop....meybe. But, seeing as the upgrade to the game is graphics related and the 1 programmer and 2 artists are all working on it....it might be a little bit much to realistically expect. Of course, if they were a big shop...they problably wouldn't pay any attention to us at all :D.

OK great for all that - but now things have progressed this map sucks because the bases are too far apart - fix the map or kill it.  

A Very easy solution...  IF the AKs were so great, they would at least take one slice and move the fields closer together.  

If then, it seems everyone is flying on that piece of map - well maybe we'll be on to something.

What is this MA you guys are talking about? Come fly the CT. :D

I posed this question seriously the other night in the MA, but got no serious answers:

Why doesnt everyone leave one country (let it rotate every time so each contry gets a fair turn) when pizza comes up and reset it so you get a new map?

I know, I know, some of you dweebs think your *cough* loyalty[/i] to a FICTITIOUS VIRTUAL[/i] country would not allow you to do it, but it would get rid of Pizza in about...oh...30-45 min? Maybe an hour?

wildthing..  respect?  you are kidding right?   burglars work rally hard... I don't respect them... hackers work hard and they claim to be doing it to help.   I don't care how much work someone puts into something... if it makes my time online worse then it is my enemy.   As for the AK's being the only ones who could break the map making ice.... puleeez..  but...

The main reason I show so little "respect" as you put it... is... they could fix it and they won't.     I could "respect" the effort if the map ended up in Warbirds

You take the two new maps before festers... they get complaints... when the infinity map was allmst exactly like pizza (fields at the farthest possible distance from each other... it was roundly hated too...  NB made some of the fields closer together and those areas became the most popular on the map.  most of the complaining stopped but it still could use some adjustment far as I'm concerned.


grits... CT can be fun but the lack of plane choice and resulting sameness of the fights gets old before that planeset is done.

A poll:

How many indulge in these discussions for the heck of it,

as opposed to how many post to try to make a difference?

The MA has its own brand of sameness. Almost inevitably, that clump of dots in the distance will be P51/Spit/LA7.

Well i see how this is...  

And here's my opinion,  im free to make one and i sure as hell will....  Pizza map is the perfect map,  it is the only map that doesnt require constant furballing.  For a pilot like myself CONSTANT furball action gets pretty boring,  its good to have change,  and im glad HTC knows this and doesnt please the 1% of the whining folks.  What i see here is greediness,  Furballers want EVERY map changed to their own specifications,  move the fields closer,  unlimited fuel (as to never be able to pork it),  etc...  And the really strange thing is that its always the SAME people that piss and moan about this map,  and you know what?  Get the hell over it,  it wont change and i dont want it to change,  and as long as HTC sees this im sure they will keep it as is.  HTC =S!!=

pizza map is just too big... allows steamroller real estate weenies to hide from those that would shoot them down.  Can't we have a medium pizza instead of the extra large?

And WT, I am one who has whined abotu this map.  However, I gave a nod of thanks for the effort, to whit:

Those same steamrollers can be stopped if the Mindless furballers had a sack big enough to up a P-51 and chase those Tiffies down before they porked the base.  But i am grateful at least someone sees the effort put into building a map.  =S= Stevio

Wake me when it's over!!!!!!!

Total BS why do you have to dictate how I fly when I log in.  I don't want to climb to 20K just to chase some moron that ends up dying in the ack or augering, just so I can slimb back to 20k and do it all over again, to compensate for a porked fuel supply model and a sh i t y map.  Why don't you just change the name of the game to "Lemmings Augering and Defending".

I would like to log in and see a decent furball and be able to join the fight.  Just because you lost your lust for it Wldthing, doesn't mean we all have.
