We need aircraft factories like AW:P

the forthcoming whining will make an Air Raid Siren sound like a Dog Whistle:rofl

Learn how to fly better and stop worrying about what the other guy is in

Here is some (REAL)ality.
Actuall numbers


The results are in.
And the judgment is yours.
Tour…….Total Kills
50-692642
51-713708
52-597521
53-486581 AH2 released Mid Tour on 6/16/04
54-492754
55-471781
56-188420
This is day 13 of tour 56 and we are on a pace of about 435000 total kills for the Tour.

I used Tour 50 through 56 with 53 being the MID point (AH2 was released 6/16/04)
So I included tour 53 in both the Pre and Post AH2 release averages. I also used the projection for Tour 56 (As it isnt complete yet.
Pre AH2 release Kills = 622613
Post Ah2 release kills = 471529


Are we having fun yet?
Has the gunnery hindered the over all average?
Have we become more timid,  flying birds that are slightly limited in there diversity since the ENY sanction system has been implemented?
Have we logged less over all hours in the past few tours?
I did some research on hours.
This was a quick check and needs further investigation and with a longer time line.
But a quick look was in order.
Using 4 of the MA regular attending squads.
I added there Hours logged and divided them by 4 to get the average per Tour.
I used Tour 50 through 56 with 53 being the MID point (AH2 was released 6/16/04)
So I included tour 53 in both the Pre and Post AH2 release averages. I also used the projection for Tour 56 (As it isnt complete yet.




Tour………..Average hours of the 4 squads
50-798.5
51-829
52-926
53-754
54-969
55-806
56-308
 …at this point. Day 13 of tour 56 and on a pace of  about 711 hours for this tour.
Now we will look at Pre AH2 and Post AH2 release hours logged.
Pre AH2
798.5 + 829 + 926 + 754 = 3307.5 Divided by 4 =
826.875  Pre AH2 release hours logged.

Post AH2
754 + 969 + 806 + (711) = 3240 divided by 4 =
810 Post AH2 release hours logged.

This is only a 16-hour separation between Pre AH2 and Post AH2 release.
But the interesting number is the projected number for tour 56 (Post the ENY Sanction system) if this projection is anywhere close to accurate then I have to think we are becoming disenchanted with AH2 as a whole. I know I have felt less interested.
Only time will tell but if this trend continues it would be a shame.
Anyhoo. I was fidgety and thought I would do some research. Not worth a lot but seems interesting nonetheless. Salute

Interesting post MugZ.

You didnt happen to compare summer/winter seasons and their impact on AH playing time or kills ect. did you?

I am curious is all.

"I do not implement the plane factories because I truly dislike them when I played AW" -hitech

Hmm, just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it can't make the game better and more fun to others.  Am I wrong?

No i havent as of yet. But plan to.
I dont think it will effect the Kills as much as the hours played.
That is to say on a ratio basis any way. The reduction in total kills are here for a long time to come. Any wagers?
But the Hours played averages are too early to really get a guage i think. But as for the Reduction in total kills.....Its very telling to me.
ie Many BBS players claim that it is just as easy to Get a kill or (Hit) the nme.
But the numbers dont lie. The overall averags tell the story as to how the "New" AH is effecting us as a whole.
The changes in the flight model Smaller hit sprites and other little tweaks are effecting our ability to kill.
And we might be seing the ENY sanction system effecting our desire to even bother.
Of course this is a very general study.
But i bet it is proportionatly accurate.
We shall re-visit this study in a few more tours. Any bets as to the outcome?

I do not implement the plane factories because I truly dislike them when I played AW.

HiTech

AH HAH!!

LOL
Thank you for the responce.
Now at least we know why.

Honestly though
that is the way it looked

Naw HT was a Corsair dweeb. Spent many a Sat morning helping him capture a field on the main island so we could fight. My Ki Vs his F4U... even with the plane advantage we split pretty evenly.
