oops, didn't realize I started a new thread. . .

I meant to reply to this one

Just skimmed the thread, and found that I agree with those who think that something needs to be done to change the way AH is played. I don't play this game because it isn't any fun for me anymore. I sometimes logged on looking for a fight, but dar was porked and it was all about the hordes. So I logged off. Sometimes I logged on and my country was beating the snot out of another country. No good battles, just lopsided hording all the time.

After a while, I just give up and cancel my account again. Every so often I get the itch to come back and play some, but every time I get turned off by the lopsidedness. It seems like I remember other similar games in other times that had this problem handled somehow. I could be wrong, and even if I am right I don't know how to fix it. But I won't be playing anymore unless things become fun again. I think maybe one of the biggest equalizers would be always on RADAR. Im sure plenty would hate to see it, but as a fighter jock I would consider coming back to AH.

Sorry, I think thats a pretty silly advantage to stake your 'coming back' on.

Radar then and now could be knocked out... Oh well.

Enjoy your retirement.

Just as silly an advantage as with the way, way out of proportion numbers situation now and dar constantly being porked?

Knocking out radar coverage for an entire country is gamey. In WWII no country (that had radar networks) lost all radars due to a single bombing run. Even the Germans had some operational radar stations in 1945.

I say that radars should be able to be destroyed locally at each field, but the "bomb HQ - blind the entire country" must go. It is very bad for game play too since it is always the underdog with low numbers that get their HQ bombed, so it just adds to the effect of lopsided numbers.

I must agree that killing HQ should not kill radar at every field. What I feel is if HQ is down and you took off from field 19, you would only be able to see field 19's radar and not any other fields. The only way to see all radar while HQ is down is to go to each and every one of your fields. Also I think the DarBar should never be disabled. If a field is under attact, more then likely you are going to get reports on about how many cons there are.

This gets my vote.

I'm IN

map wide dar should not be able to be disabled, but only on a local/field level, which makes a tactical strike worthwhile, but not overpowering.

but but but what about the ME163s:D

rod367th · « **Reply #12 on:** August 06, 2004, 01:59:39 PM »

lol Hitech put 163's in game to defend hq. which made it real hard for bombers to go for hq sides only need 1 or 2 to stop raid. Try defending your hq. Bombed Nits dar on trinty 3 times 1 sortie. Even after first bombing not 1 guy came out to shoot bombers down. All i had to do was wait 23 mins start back in......

Now this "why should I have to defend hq can't I just go say no more killing hq on bbs".

and excuse of when side down to 3 fileds dar is always out. What do you need dar for if your down to 3 fields out numbered. ?your not going to plan mission, and You know enemy is at everyone of your bases. So I don't get this about dar?

I`m sure you wouldn`t . I wonder why.
It`s not just 3 fields anymore . Numbers are so imbalanced it stays porked on a regualr basis. It might help some if you would quit making it a point to go out of your way to pork Nit and Rook dar every time the wind changes. I think a lot of it is done in retaliation. Go figure.
