AH Classic, AH II, and AH Premium?

So, let’s hear it, if HT opened another arena that was a $30 subscription access only.  Would you do it?  I’m pretty much sure I would.

Getting really tired of the “be the steamroller or be rolled”, no one wants to fight anymore.  The rule of thumb today is, do I have 5 friendlies to back me, and I do.  Whew ok then, here I go.

I’m up increasingly less and the quality of fights has really seemed to drop off.  I would love the days where there was a max of 200 on any given night.  Seemed like everyone was more willing to engage and the fights were better; these days it might as well be a first person shooter with aimbot.

Grow some nads people.  Learn some ACM, engage!  Do something.  Fester MA is great but the steamroller lives on.  With nearly 600 online last night it was difficult at best to find a quality area to fly in.

I was on for about 1 hour 15 minutes.  About 30 minutes of it was worth a damn.

I dont like being the steam roller.

Kinda struggling to fit in at all of late.

Nobody seems to want to defend a base, if they see an attack coming its cya and off to another part of the map.

So of course somebody shouts vulch lamp is on at xxx field and the horde decends.

HT needs to model ground troops that you can play, so we get less AC´s in the air...

No i wouldnt do it.  Im not rich enough to afford $30 bucks for a game,  ill settle with the steamrollers,  i find those fights a little more challenging than the occasional 1 vs 1,  if i wanted 1 vs 1 i would hit the DA.

fixed rate price is the way to go, more people in an arena at a lower price admission is superior for the experience of the individual player than a high admission price with fewer players.


theres somthing that seems more like a real battle when you have 500 people fighting eachother in an arena.

its somthing that no offline game or 32 player arena game i have played can duplicate. in those games theres no sense or feelign that there is a war going on around you and beyond your current field of view many other battles are being fought. there is a fog of war with all thats going on and many surprises.

Fly mornings! Get up an hour early before work. You'll find 125 - 200 online. Connects are smooth & rock solid.

Plus the morning crew has a pretty good bunch of guys.

Thats when the Italians/Japanese,  etc..  Log in,  and their always a treat to fight..  Unexpecting players and their not bad at all.

So rich people don't participate in "steamrolling"?

[SirLoin]

as long as it doesn't go hourly..i'd pay up to $20/m.

[Kweassa]

My opinion is steamroller mindset can be fixed without price changes

I agree that the steamrollering has gotten out of hand but the only way you win any battle is to overwhelm the enemy.

OK so i've been hammered too many times trying to up at a field that was being vulched. So what? Last night the rooks had the airfield near our HQ.  There were maybe six of us raiding that base, and you know what? We were evenly matched, and having a blast. I even got into a bomber v. bomber  fight. It was great!

What people seem to lose sight of is that you sometimes have to fly to a battle rather than just up at a field that's under or adjacent to a swarm of red.

When i get sick of getting rolled i up at base near an undefended front and generally make a nuisance of myself until someone on the other side notices me - presto-change-o a new front and some air-to-air combat. You get perks for wrecking a field, town or strat in the mean-time.

htc should limit the # of planes that can up from one base...it worked in aw3.

[mars01]

I wouldn't want to pay anymore.  As it is now its anoying that I spend 15 bucks a month and the fights are what you explained.  

Could you imagine paying 30 a month and still have the same lame fights etc.  I would drop the game in a heart beat.

[Curval]

I would have the same fears as mars01...pay more and have the same thing happen.
