This is therapy in itself guys, thanks for the replies.
HiTech, what really killed my interest in Warbirds was two-fold:
1. What I call "Player micro-managing". Though sounding like blasphemy, I think that Warbirds has actually suffered from too much player intervention, especially when it came to arguments about gunnery, otto, etc. iEN is spending so much time cow-towing to it's customers, that progress has slowed to a trickle. While I'm always in favor of a company listening to it's customers' concerns , it can go too far. I hope HTC will maintain that balance between their own vision and their customer's desires.
2. Development stagnation. I'm sure this is caused by many things, but the problem I noted above has to be a big part of it.
I know a lot of us are waiting to see what kinds of strategy HTC can come up with to break the old "Close airfield-capture airfield" strat that has been a staple in WB & AH. IMHO, strat could be the difference between the next great sim, and the also-rans.
So far, I'm very impressed with the speed and quality of what HTC has produced in AH. I just hope in your design plans or business plan that there is going to be a big push to revolutionize the strat in AH.
Just my 2 cents, thanks for listening.
