Unfortunately, AH has already changed into something some people don't want to play. I recall some players quitting or cutting back their time in disgust at various issues - the horde mentality is one that sticks out. I have my own reasons for why I discontinued my account, and for me, a successful deployment of TOD is the only thing that's going to make me want to come back. [/B]

Agreed...... I understand your point completly.  I have laid down my acct in disgust more than once.

However after playing multiple other combat sims and spending time not playing at all I have decided that AH is by far the best out there.

I have come back into AH with a fresh attitude and Im finding that Im having more fun than ever.  I think some other vets have done the same.  Im having the kind of fun I want and simply ignoring the stupid stuff.

Alot of it is that I have tried to check my ego at the door and given up on thinking that I have to be the best 1v1 pilot in the game.  I still get competitive, however I dont let it get to me.  

Im having fun and thats all that matters.  Mabye you will do the same in the future.

c yas up.... Dave

I wish i could agree with ya Nomak. I am also with Urchin waiting for something to "Really" bring back my interest. I hate to say it but IL2FB has really become my obvious choice of flight sims. The only reason i still have an account is because of guys like yourself, Lazerus and my squadies. I am currently paying 15.00 a month for a chat room. With that said, it is also one of the main reason why i am burnt, the community has become a love/ hate thing for myself. There are many guys in the community i would much rather put my DOC up there prettythang then to have to talk to em

LOL guess my SIG explains it all

THe naysayers in this forum are legion.  Post anything positive about anything and you will immediately attract someone who happily explains (no doubt with a gloomy, end-of-the-world expression) that, "this is going to end AH as we know it, and I have already cancelled my account, and there's no fun to be had here, and..."

I don't get it.  If you have already gotten out of the game, why do you feel the need to criticize it?  What good will it do you?  What good will it do the game or the community?

Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tired of the gameplay, but it is mostly the chicken**** ganging horde *****es that get old after a while.  I'll fight X on 1, which is a good thing, since that is practically the only way anyone will fight in the MA nowadays.. but even with numbers and alt about 95% of the MA is to timid to do more than make a few clumsy, easily evaded newb swoops.

Hell, the attitude is so pervasive that yesterday, the #1 fighter ranked guy refused to engage until friends showed up... today, the #6 fighter ranked guy ran like a ***** after I shot his two girlfriends down.  

Back when people had balls, this game was fun.  Chasing around a bunch of eunuchs isn't.  Killing AI is more fun, at least it tries.

Your right, more then anything, the 1 thing that has effected me is the Quake mentality that has infected our community. It really is not the game itself, unfortunately its the game that suffers.

TOD really is more my interest/style that i am looking for now days is all. The only reason why IL2FB sparks my interest is, i prefer the historical plane sets on the servers i fly. Truely i wish more people flew CT because i would be happy as a clam there.

So S! HTC, like i said its not the game.

I agree with Misfit's post above ^. I hate the Quake mentality, and the whining that hit this board when ENY limiting was introduced with Patch 8 made me realise that a large swathe of the player base has naff-all interest in WW2, and just wants an arcade shoot-em-up and the best possible planes in which to do it.

It's bad enough that guys whined that they couldn't have a P51D or LA7 because of country imbalance. But when you had those same guys threatening to cancel their accounts because of it - well, that's sad.

When we have an arena which uses realism as its backdrop, and where realistic missions can be played out using the plane choice that would have been available at the time, that will interest me. The horde/fragfest/uberplane shutout/numerical supremacy smashdown holds NO interest. And neither does the ace wannabe Spit V skirmish hamster wheel.

Ummmm....its the Quake mentality that caused the NME persecution factor.  Those that couldnt be bothered to organize decided to whine and complain about how unfair it was.....I kept waiting for Michael Moore to do a movie about the inequities of the MA .

The 'hoard' is called organization.

TOD is the type of a gameplay I am looking for since I played Aces over Pacific first time. Historic roleplay environment with human as opponents; structured environment, and goals to achive (ranks, kills records, mission objectives etc.). I am basicly in AH now, because I am waiting for TOD.

Jumping in a la7 and taking off in a sector where there's a huge green dar bar and bottom feeding like a low life isn't what I'd call organization.

Lord help us, Beet is with us on this post

you depressing bunch of depressedness.


AH2 is great fun still, just you have to look for your fun..


what....you expect good things to be put in your lap with a complimentary bottle of whine?

i dont get it.

back when i was a lad, we were taught to 'make fun out of the gravel in the driveway'

and that was only a few years ago..


you whiney buggers are just no fun in general anyway, AH is just your vent for the excess steam.


the Ma has bad points. But its nowhere near as bad as you "i havnt played for 6 months, yet i know everything about AH" moaning minnies.
