I'm so tired of the "try the CT" excuse. How can flying with 3 people on a large map compare to anything/arena.

while the CT certainly is a Ghost town now (last night at prime time +- 20 players) the game play is better for me.  I fly LW and know the distinctive sounds of friendly and enemy aircraft so many times I need only listen for the incoming and thereby make a decision as to what to do.  The average CT player is more proficient than the average MA player.  You usually don't have your kills jumped after taking 5 minutes to set up a kill in an inferior plane by a cherry picker, unless eskimo shows up on your side.  The insults are usually more intelligent.  what's not to love?  BTW banana if you come back I promise not to hand u ur *** so quickly.  Just identify urself and I'll play left handed.  :]

Fishu, I believe the tank numbers are capped you cant have more then like 24 total in a spawn or something like that.  One of the other guys still playing will probably know for sure.


To increase matty numbers to 12 would take a huge amount of RDPS.  Since you only start with 1, you can only have 2 by RDP 2, then 3 on RDP 3 or something like that.

Storch, I never left AH. I'm still here. I just spend more time in WW2OL than AH at the moment.

If you want to hand me my arse, you can easily do that every Friday night in the Squad Ops in the Special Events arena.

Who releases a shooter game where troops dont have a jump key command or ability? How about the ability to climb trees for sniping.... I can jump on a tank but can't jump up a stairway?
 When exiting a river I should easily be able to jump the fence's but can't... Seems kind of lame, and the moto of the devlopers is realistic over playability... They model gas tank weight/consuption/trim every 3 seconds to just maintain level flight... But my rifleman can't jump over a puddle in the road..
  Same old worn out excuses.....
Hey HT they charge $13.88 for a ingame name change! per incident!! they setting industry standards over at playnet...

I was getting tired of the 30v40 game in the MA the other day and took a look at the CT. There were only 14 in it but it was a BLAST. From what I could tell everyone in there was in a pitched battle between two bases that lasted for a couple of hours before I had to log. I think 12-14 is about critical mass for the CT, if you've got more than that it's all the more fun. Of course with less than 32 it is kinda like and IL2 limitation. I wish it had ~100 players per night during prime time.

As far as WW2OL goes...I like planes not soldiers and tanks, there are some realy good first person shooters out if thats your thing. Have you tried Joint Operations?

What handle do you play under and who do you play for mostly?



BTW: great shot in a bofors, since its a 40mm and all.:D


hey, it wasnt 1 great shot! it was 2! taking 1 wing off is easy, but both wings? :D

I play under handle of McCudden, i play there with a few ppl from AH.  Im axis atm, but usually i am allied.  If i or we are on, we use channel 69 if u want to tune to it.
I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know.

The CT is a gem even if it's 2v2 or 3v2.  If the numbers get lopsided there are always those will to switch.  The battles are ferocious against fairly skilled players with a modicum of BS.  Tempers flare occasionally.  I prefer the CT to all other flight games out there.  I hope you will return Ed.

We've all flown the CT. No need to defend it. I'm not sure what primetime is for you but I never see near 20 unless its Friday/Saturday evening. Most of the maps are oneside gangbangs with vets going off the handle when they die. You'll see me in there when the BOB map is up. That is a great setup. A fair fight for both sides and also brings in big numbers..... hmmm sounds like WW20l planeset.

BoB is on right now.  

we had twenty or so on last night.  the fights were phenomenal.

I don't like WWIIOL and won't log on any more.

As to the vets going off when you kill them, that shouldn't happen too much just don't tune ch 200 and let the "vets" fume and stew in their juices.  I for one get annoyed when I'm in a 110 TnB'n with a spit and a hurri and two more show up to "help" other than that you don't see too much "fuming" anymore.  

Sirloin was cleaning up in there last night with his artistic cherry picks.  Be prepared to play and not to game the game and everyone will have fun.  If not then come and do as you please but come.  

Either way I'll try to ping you up a bit or clear your six as it were.  

The fights between the 110 and the Hurri are especially good if the 110 driver is talented.  

Come, take a break in the friendly CT we weren't shooting at you, only at your plane! :]

He sees that ct attendance has dropped and is trying to get people back in. But he's recruiting the wrong folks. Most have been in AH since the CT first ran and know that it never delivered on expectations.

It still doesn’t and imho has little chance to do so in the future. It’s simply a mini main with fewer players. There's nothing unique in how it plays.

In the future they plan on running it by committee. Not directly but the ct cms will be “elected”. It stands to reason that only those who run set ups that are popular with “voters” (voters meaning a limited selection of “motivated” players not necessarily all those who fly in the ct) will get “elected”. Seeing as 80% of the ct players are in Allied and most of those “Pac oriented” it will only go even further down hill. Pac setups already draw 3 to 1 allied because they are so ridiculously miss-matched and un-fun for the average potential Axis player.

Thats my story and I am sticking to it... :p

going to leave this abomination of a plane set would you consider adding the 202 and the P40 to the lineup? Uncle sam had loaned cousin winston some. Uncle Benito gladly helped out uncle adolf with a squadron or three. If it doesn't upset the planet and knock it off it's axis please consider making it so.

Just logged on and off at 13:41 EST and the population was zero players. May we please try another plane set? Does anyone agree or disagree?


Are they hired you as their CT salesman? :p
