Hazed, I see your points and agree with them. I personally have the felling of having conceded a lot of time and money to this game supporting it while waiting for it to grow up and become something really different than a beta. Another good 190 pilot gave me a very precisse comment: all online games are like being always in beta stage, living forever as noticeably incomplete products. And this is true. For example, most of "boxed" and finished games comes with all the desired options avaliable, and later you can get expansions with more planes and/or vehicles. Here we have usually a boost in the planeset but not in gameplay.
Anyway, while AH, IMO, seems like being in a very early beta stage in reference to gameplay options, I have the "feeling" HTC has the potential to change this in the near future, so I still bet for this team. In the meanwhile, I can get some fun times in this kind of MA while I dont like it at all.
Good luck where you go, we'll miss you. Anyway, I hope you reconsider your march. Take some resting days (as I'm doing just now), and come here again. Loosing a single 190 pilot will have a tremendous impact in the diversity of planes you can find in MA (you know what I mean

).
