What do you do when you get "Burned Out" or need a break from AH?

Take a few days off.
Try GV's
Run bombers to HQ
Goof off in the DA or TA

Hang up the game for a week or more. Come back fresh.

take a couple weeks off. don't come back until you find yourself thinking about ACM even though you're busy with real life. you'll know when it's time to return.

enjoy your vacation.

Spend time with my wife and kids...fly r/c airplanes...Travel...Play rpg and fps games.

As much fun as AH is...sometimes you need to step away to truly enjoy the game.

BTW...just my opinion.

Breaks are always forced upon me...I have yet to devise my own.

But here would be my checklist of activities to force breaks upon yourself:

1. Upgrade girlfriend ack to wife ack
2. Get new job
3. Move to another state
4. Count on in-law visits to take away a few days here and there...AH qualifies as "anti-social" behavior in said company
5. Make a mini JB82
6. Count on AH3 to make your current system obsolete

Am I missing any here?

You put in "Get a new job", but you forgot "Get fired from your job, run out of money."

Wish I never upgraded from Girlfriend3.0 to wife 1.0

Wife ack is great for getting me off of the game for days at a time.

Wife quotes

"You spend more time in that game than you do with me"

"I think you'd rather fly than have sex"

"Is it squad night tonight? If so, guess sex is out of the question"

At least your wife still talks about sex. Mine talks about Home Depot!

Woof

I try not to get burnt out. I only fly on squad nights, and weekend nights. I never fly before evening. If I stay to this schedule, I look forward to playing and rarely get tired of it.

If I feel the need at other times, I view films, or practice something off-line.

I have been playing AW and AH for about 10 years without a break, so it works for me

I play Americas Army when I get burned out on AA...that or go flying for real.. Like someone above said, when you find yourself muttering somthing to yourself about the P-51 it is time to fire up AH again.

I take a week or 2 off. I'll go play Counter-Strike, Evil Genius, Civ 3, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3... anything else. After awhile, I get the itch again, and it's back to AH. Thankfully my squaddies put up with me
