I for one DO NOT want restirctions on the plane sets to specific countries!!!

Been there done that! It causes nothing but trouble. The division within the player base becomes very bad. Complaining about uber this and uber that and excuse after excuse. Bias this and Bias that etc. etc. etc. ........ ugh!

NO THANK YOU!

Go to the CT for historical plane sets and leave the MA alone PLEASE!

You make the call.

For me gameplay seems different in AH2 than it was in AH1. Seems like alot fewer people are interested in the fights themselves and more interested in blasting a base into oblivion so they can capture it unopposed.

I don't mind fighting against long odds, imo in the long run it makes you a better pile-it. A few days ago I beat my first 5 on 1 in AH. Had an La-7, P-38, Spitfire, Hurricane and a 109 on my Hurricane, I augered the La-7 and killed the rest with my uber cannons

. THAT was intense!!

Yesterday one of the Bish was mad at those of us who where furballing at a Knight base. (A43 I think) He was angry because we had no objective other than fighting other players. He was angry because we werent playing the game the way he thought it should be played. The game allows for different types of gameplay at the same time. Play the game in whatever way that is the most fun for you.

Knits are still whining

Come on Ros !!! Knights surely don't have the market cornered when it comes to whining ... if that was true, then the WHN limited would kick in ...

Damn, all this bemoaning the current state of AH makes me wax nostalgic for a good ole fashioned niki whine.

And this is different how? Collisions have always been based on what your FE sees.....you avoid it on your FE and you dont collide. Simple as that.

"Don't get it -- what's wrong with MA?"

Simplest answer...the game has changed and some people have refused to accept and adapt to those changes.

I'm not talking only about collisions man. The whole game was released way too early. Now HTC is basically playing catch up trying to get new patches out etc. I feel that if they never had released the info so early about AH2 then there wouldnt have been an issue. People wouldnt have left so early on.

There is nothing wrong with the MA.

The only difference now from 3 years or so ago is the amount of newbs we are getting on a daily basis. Still, there is nothing wrong with that. The fire still needs to be fed even after it is stoaked.

Arlo logs onto the TOD server and notices right off the bat that he has a choice to make. He begins the process:

Welcome to TOD: Europe `44

Axis or Allied? (selects)

British or American? (selects)

Aircraft or Ground Vehicle career? (selects)

Fighter, Attack or Bomber squadron? (selects)

Select specific squadron. (selects)

An image appears of a pilot in the uniform that portrays the selections made.

Pilot name? (types in "A. Guthrie")

Congratulations, Pilot Cadet A. Guthrie. You have completed basic air training and will now commence advanced fighter training after which you will be asigned to your unit.

Arlo goes through however many basic AI scenarios it takes to see if he can take off, navigate, hit a target, return to base and land.

Congratulations 2nd Lieutenant A. Guthrie. You have been promoted and are assigned to the ____ Fighter Group, ____ squadron out of Duxford, England. Your aircraft will be ______. Your mission choices for today are ________, _________, _________, _________. Please note that to fly with fellow players you must all choose the same mission. Deviation from your mission parameters may result in demotion which can result in being sent through basic fighter training again. (chit)

Arlo looks for friends in the same squadron who are not currently flying a mission and finds one. They both select mission 4. Escorting bombers to their target.

Off they go .... into the wild blue yonder.

Arlo manages to bag 2 AI fighters attacking the group but gets pinged up pretty badly by an opposing player in a 109 and has to return early due to fuel loss. He barely makes it back to base. Whew .. not outside the mission parameters, though. Score 2 kills. Receive a minor medal.

Checks to see if there are any players selecting a mission. Dang ... everyone's in flight. Selects one anyhow and takes off with the AI group. This time Arlo is shot down by an opposing player in a 190 while over the target. Bails out. Is captured.

What then?

Tune in next week, folks, for the continuing adventures of 2nd Lieutenant Arlo of the mighty fighting 8th Air Force.
