Sounds more and more like WWIIOnline to me...


Why not make it alittle like WWIIOL....

We are always b____ing about porking the airfields to make the capture. Do away with the need to destroy the base/town. (you still can if you like) But also do away with AI troops... make the troops have to be real players.....

So you want to take base... you need 10 players for your C-47/M-3.... to do large attacks....  It is going to take missions and more team work. And hopefully more fun.

With larger land battles in and around the towns the buff drivers and fighterbomber guys now have something to drop on sides the FH/BH and porking the airfields....

With some work, something like this may work. And with any luck make game play more fun for all... maybe.

Well, we have planes, ships and tanks now....

Removing AI troops for player controled soldiers isn't that far of a jump. The big thing is can "Aces High" make money with it by adding to the paying player base? I think they can...

Over in WW2OL there lots of unhappy Sqdn's,and with the ways things are going over there. If HT & Skuzzy was to do some work on the ground war....

Maybe players and Sqdns there would make AH2 their new home. This community has taken in players from "Warbirds and Airwarrior", whats one more? In the end it comes down to can HT make $$$ with a better ground war? If he can, that is more dollars for Aces High II and someday Aces High III.

Besides... HT and his crew have the best job in the world...

But they aren't doing it for free.... more paying players can't be a bad thing, can it?

why not make it so you have to find 10 willing players to load up into a C47 and bail out over a town?

I don't bail out of my Flaming Spit...............not often anyways:lol


Why would I want some dweeb to fly me to an LA7 goon hunting...so I can watch the C47 be split in half and then have to walk 20 miles to be strafed by another LA7 or D9?

Nope..................think I'll FLy in AcesHIGH...not Troopers Low

If it is the only way to take a base... they will come.

And no I don't want AH to become WW2OL. The scale is way to big and the fights are hard to find. AH is a flight sim and needs to stay that way. But making AI troopers real players who have to fight their way into a town I think will add to game play and give the mudmovers something to drop bombs besides porking the airbases.

Then again... If I was King for the day I would remove all AI stuff...

If it moves the map or kills players... I think needs to be fired by players.... ie... all the AI AAA guns on bases and CV task forces.

But that is just me...

AH is a smorgasboard.  It has fare for the pilot and tanker alike.

Adding more gamplay for the grunts is a win-win situation.  More fun on the ground means more players which is more $$ for HT.  If the grunts are having more fun, bless em.  It's also more ground targets for the jabo pilots.

How can this be a bad thing?

Been there, done that :)

But it was in Airwarrior.  Took the town base too, much to our surprise.

It may have been the Nomads finest hour.  Definately one of the funniest :)

How about guys who are really into the CTF aspect of the game work at, the same way we always did? By this I mean destroying the town, escorting a goon in,  protecting him til he drops, then protecting the little AI sticks on the ground until they make the capture? It's a sound theory, it's been tested 1,000s of times, and it's already coded. Ain't that great?

Reminds me of Air Warrior when we would get a Death Star (fully gunned B-17) at Fightertown and kick arse! I would like to see the ability to have people man each gun position in a bomber implemented!:aok
