What would you change and why?

closer fileds would fix everything... it is possible to have good fights between two distant fields but pretty rare... close fields allways have good fites as do CV's which are... in affect.... close fields.

This is one that I've rarely ever seen and think it's well worth posting.  If in a battle close to 2 seperate countries and you see one countries plane being out numbered by the other country lend a helping hand.  Do everything you can to clear his/her six and in the end extend out and return to fight a good and fair fight with just the two of you.  Bring the fight to level grounds and give the pilot a fighting chance to survive.

So in other words...bring back some of the honor that's been missing for so long?

Oh and I know thats more than just one thing but I think they needed to be posted.  I think it's about respect and not just the kill.  Seems since I've joined there is little to no respect amongst alot of the pilots in AH.  It's really not about the kills it's about the excitement and adrenalin you get from the good fights even though they are few and far between.


In short, you want Aces High to become the Special Olympics of the online gaming world?

LOL, Mathman.  With malice toward none and charity to all.  A kinder, gentler world.  Certainly a difference of views whether Aces High should be (a) Chivalry of the Skies, (b) Chute Shooters Anonymous, (c) Realism Uber Alles, (d) Bomb 'em Back to the Stone Age, (e) Jabo U Dead Sucka, (f) Shut Up or Shoot Down, (g) I Am Clueless Hear Me Whine, (h) Air Combat For Dummies, (i)SimWar, or (j) Rowdy Perkless Free for All.

I like (j).

It can be anything, from planes to game play. And no, I'm sorry we can't get rid of me, not just yet anyways. :o

I'll start it off.

If there was one thing I could change it would be the "enviornment" in the MA and what is concidered "acceptable". Meaning... You really didnt see a whole lot of profanity or just plain old rude constant smack talking. Maybe I was just deaf dumb and blind then. Anyways, thats what I would like to change or go back to if I couuld. I know thats vague but I think you get the general idea of what I mean. I know thats nearly impposible to change but it would be nice IMO.


 I would Ban MoRp from the BB so he could never post again:lol
And also take away his Nextel  :rofl

Put an end to land grabbing hordes and install an actual front.

Have the arena close fields not directly involved in the fight.  Say 2-3 sectors wide by 3-4 sectors deep in.

Remove unrealistic 10k+ airfields and mountains (a 500ft airfield in WW2 was high!).  Increase depth of field for low level with more objects ala WWIIOL.

If there are only a few close fields it won't matter where you put em... when the spoilers find out that people are ignoring them they will go tpo the fields with the furballs to try to ruin the fight.

The most fun that I've ever had in AH has been in a few odd CT maps that have bases 4 to 10 miles apart in certain areas.

I'd like to see all bases 6 to 9 miles apart.

A lot of these ideas are great.

Here's mine.

I'd like to request the regularly scheduled presence of HTC staff in the MA to play and talk with the community once per week.

id like to see airplane factories.  dont care which ones or how it is done.  blow up the factories, that plane be gone for that county until it is rebuilt.  maybe at the time it is rebuilt, the plane changes, so it is constantly rotating randomly.

Your right Mathman why would I expect anything less than disrepect from folks like yourself.  Good to see the community has such great leaders such as yourself.
