Inspiration struck like lightning! It HURTS!

I thought this might help a country that was being over-run. A few times I've watched as the Knights were pushed back to just 5 fields remaining. Sometimes we got a few back, other times we lost another one. My way of thinking is this:

If a country is being, or has been, over-run the sight of superior aircraft coming up to meet the enemy might change things. In effect, trying to stall the enemy offensive by using aircraft that out-perform the stock stuff people fly. Maybe it'll help, maybe it won't I just don't know. Komets shooting up to intercept that buff over your last field would get their attention. Same goes to see a King Tiger tank suddenly appear in that VH, 88mm trained on your fuzzy butt.

I'm trying to give the little guy a break by supplying superior armor and aircraft. Being on the losing side sucks, we all know that. Maybe giving you a little extra performance, or armor, would help. You could, in theory, take this farther by allowing people to fly a SINGLE perk plane if their country is out-numbered 3-1. It could even things up. Then again, it doesn't matter if I handed you an F-16C complete with AMRAMM load-out. If you can't fight the enemy in a standard aircraft, why hand over something like a Ta-152 to you?

The basic idea of this thread figures you can kill the enemy deader than hell when necessary and NOT die. The greatest miracle of warfare is when the little guy, beaten to a pulp, rises up and kills his attacker. Announcing to everyone "Come and try me, unless you try fast I'll plaster all your sorry butts!

This idea is simply trying to give the little guy that chance to win.

Sounds like a decent idea to me.  Lets just cover a scenario where one team is down, the side swappers see ta152's popping up from the down tean, and all jump over to get in one..

"I am pretty darn sure HTC's reads / implements customer suggestions if they fit into "The Game Vision"."

This is djust it aint it? does HTC even have an "Game Vision"?

 I see where they've taken input and added it because it was a feature they had not thought of. I've also seen people want features that are already being implemented and that juist shows you that HTC has an active custemr base that is often on the same wavelenght that HTC is.
 Maniac you're really foolish to think that HTC ise working on a day-to-day schedule without
a gameplan.
 I've yet to see anyone who has visited HTC or gone to the CON say these folks are winging it and have no idea what they are doing or where they are going.
 AH is no where near being in a "maintenance mode" nor is it in any way shape or form stagnant. Constant growht is a key feature here. And it's not based on HiTech or Pyro coming to work on a Monday and figuring by Wednesday it would be kEwL to add a PT boat.
 I've not visited HTC nor did I make  the CON either and yet I feel that they know exactly what they are doing, what they are building and how they will implement additions over the next year and beyond.
 Just because you're not in amongst the Inner Circle....

(p.s. Skurj has a good point. .squelch Towd & Maniac.)

Westy....

Quit defending HTC from people like Maniac and TOWD.  You can't win.
These guys that pay their money and complain, complain, complain, just amaze me.  I don't know how they can part with their money each month for a sim that keeps them awake at night because its not what they want.
Ignorem Westy, if AH is as bad as they seem to think it is, they'll go away, and your replies just gives them a reason to stick around to get the last word.

It could be because there aint no other alternative.

Or one reason for all the squeaking could be that some of us see the potential in AH wich aint being used.

Give it time Maniac...

Were you there in the beginning of Warbirds or Air Warrior?

Remember Aces is still a gleam in poppa's eye compared to those 2 sims relative to its age.
