my chief dislikes of warbirds was the axis v. allied arena and the rotating plane set


Only reason I liked it was because of the Axis vs Allies and the rotating planeset.

I almost got a sub to it too.  Then I saw the magneto switch on the 109 move up and down with the flaps..:eek:

I mentioned it and was subjected to a long disertation on how realistic Warbirds was by one of the IEN volunteers and since I was a "new guy" I should just STFU.  

Then the software kept dumping my joystick set up so I had to redo it everytime I logged.  

There are many folks on both sides of the fence.  I for one can't wait for TOD.  

Flying for a chess piece, in an arena with nothing but clouds of late war fighters, and encountering the "friendly" types on the other side, TOTALLY destoys the game IMO.

Come check out the CT on a Tuesday or Thursday night when we get missions rolling.  You will have a blast.  We don't have a problem with either hordes nor finding fights.  I got into a 20 minute dogfight with 1 P47D11 three weeks ago in a 190A5.  What a blast.  We were going up canopy to canopy, stalling out, and trying to get on each others six.  We would break off, merge, turn for a few minutes until one started getting the advantage and it was back up in a vertical scissors, get too low on "E", break off and do it again.  I finally got lucky and took his engine out.

My personal taste is for RPS but not historic country orientations.

The mid-war variants of most of the planes in AH are a lot more fun and in general more forgiving. And from a game designer's standpoint I am curious about how the MA would change if folks had to rely more on medium bombers to capture bases.

Silat is a lady!!!!!!?

she and i share the same sheep fantaises!

i never thought....lol




the 71 squadron RAF spitfires has a lady player. named schatzi. she rocks. one of our squaddies 'schutt's' girl.


back to the thread topic.

A gangbang is only a gangbang when one side doesnt want to join that fight.

we need smaller maps and more aggresive players.

less whining and more dying.

less stats and more fights.

less alt and more furballs.

less strat and more air-air mentality.

less whimps and more warriors!

You horde here, we horde there, & they horde over there...  Its like a big base trading mery-go-round.

It seems gone are the days when people played the game for Air Combat, Now it seems people play for points, or stats, or the joy of watching buildings pop,  to see how fast them & 20 wingmen can kill 3 low defenders.

I was glad to see AH find a cure for the numbers problem, but it seems that they only changed the circumstances, & not the player mentality which was apparently the actaul cause for the game imbalance.

I dont know what the cure is, but I can say that the gameplay problem is far from over, IMO.

Summer is coming to an end, I sure hope the players bring the gameplay up a notch before winter sets in and we all spend alot more time flying.

The flat rate pricing plan makes the game affordable to the hordz - so hordz is what we get.

As for priorities, I had hoped that TOD would take priority over graphics, but apparently TOD could not be done before AH2. Quite frankly, I was having more fun with the crappy 2D graphics of WB c1998 than I did in AH in 2004.

Eye candy is fine, but it hardly compensates for crap gameplay. Knowing that my plane has a smart paint job won't make up for it either.

Hi Duchess, glad you are enjoying AH!  :)  I have been playing AH and Air Warrior before it since 1998, so yes there are a few of us female players around, though I don't think there as many here as there were in AW.   As I have always said (see my signature), I only fly for fun! ;)

Lets be on alert for these hordes, Seek them out, smack them outta the sky & force ACM upon them. I have a sneaking suspision they wont like that a bit:D .

How funny.  That joke has been floating around since Silat first showed up in the AW Training arena years ago lol.  Heck, I was drawn in and called the poor guy "ma'am" about 3 times before I got corrected (and red-faced).  Spent the next 3 weeks apologizing every time I ran into him.  Nice to see he hasnt changed any.  :D

I agree, the horde has been confronted by horde busters & we have been succesful in turning them away. And in some cases an actual battle has formed.  8)

I bet most of the guys that are content to fly in hordes are prolly not  real hard to kill anyway. And I have seen many occasion where a confronted horde quickly retreats & moves to another milk farm.  Perhaps said squad busters could simply watch the map & wait to see where the NME Horde is lifting, then move to intercept.

Granted these things will take communication & cooperation.  Time will tell.

Had to go searching to see how far back I actually had this idea....


Has anything changed in the months I've been away?
