frank, if you're bored change the way, or what, *you* fly. the game is as boring as one makes it.

I already changed it, I host missions in the H2H with fuelburn 1.5, no externals and no icons.

But about the failures, if you'd handle the aircraft well, you wouldn't have failures.
Don't go full power all the time etc.

oh, yeah, H2H... i can see how it can get boring fairly quickly.

so change *where* you fly and pony up the $15 and play with the big boys. afterall, HT(c) like to eat and this stuff being requested ain't free.

What if instead of completely random failures, we could have random failures caused by damage.

Maybe instead of losing a landing gear, it'd drop down to landing position every now and then. I think I've seen videos of that really happening.... or, maybe a flap could settle down to the combat setting.

That way, you wouldn't feel screwed out of a fight by a random failure, but it'd mix combat up some to keep things interesting.

Ever worked on a Cobra Gunship? or a slick? OH-58?

It was those damn Warrant Officers not knowing how to "handle" the birds was the problem all along. Geez.....

Like Shane suggested, Come to the Main Arena where there is a couple hundred people ( I have seen over 500 ) to give you failures. Instead of a whole eight to run from each other.

If YOU want random failures YOU turn them on and those that don't can leave them off.

Exactly !!!

I don't like the idea of randomness in a game that's supposed to reward skill. Random component failures might have been common in WWII, but this is Aces High, and in Aces High the goal is fun. I'd hate to think that after turning the tables on three BnZers, I'd lose the fight because my engine randomly stopped for no good reason. A couple of cases like that, and I wouldn't be long for this game.

I like the last suggestion though. Maybe it would even encourage people to rearm rather than land sorties just to see how dirty they can get those suckers.

You want RANDOM?... fly in puffy ack for a while... you'll get randomized soon enough.

I think it would be kinda fun to have random failures, it's realistic and historically accurate after all. But make them aircraft dependent, I'm sure different aircraft would have been more prone to certain failures than others.

Oh but wait we only want realism up to a certain point, dont we?

Eagerly awaiting the power ups than will inevitably come.

It has nothing to do with anything as idiotic as "powerups" and you know it.

Stop trolling.

I know, was a wee bit of sarcasm, jeez, some people just can't catch on.

or you have been flying bombers for about an hour and then "poof" catastrophic plane failure.
