I would have to disagree, although would be nice.

YES (as you state) we should just have tons and tons of fighters to furball over some make believe target.
Of course all the Festers, AKAK's, kappa's, Savage's, Furball's, Stangs, Shawks and many,many other ace pilots will pretty much destroy anyone that gets within striking distance, but this all sounds fun.

Then they better fire whoever named the game.

It's just that, a NAME, not a description

JMFJ, welcome to Aces High and the HTC UBB!

The GV v AC debate has been going on since day one.

 Keep in mind a couple of things, Hitech, Pyro (HTC) and a lot of the folks here all date back to Air Warrior, which began as a DOS air sim back in the days when 9600 baud was lightening fast speed. While AW went on to incorporate GV's  into the scheme of things, 99% of the players were in planes.

At which point HT launched HTC and AH went open beta,  there was a "ground/mud" market emerging from the WW2OL sim. Although the majority then and now, of HTC subscribers prefer air combat, ground and naval artillary were brought into the game. The AC/GV balance will probably shift somewhat once Tour of Duty goes live. Until then, keep in mind that HTC is a very small company with limited resources which has managed to create and sustain a top notch product at a very reasonable rate.

GVs are an afterthought. Amusing, but an afterthought nonetheless.

Patience young padawan. More GVs will come. I anxiously await the arrival of the M4A3 Sherman and the Jagdpanzer IV as do others. Would be nice too if HiTech added M26 Pershing to counter Tiger. You’ll be surprised how many squads now participate and rely on GV tactics to capture bases – LTARs, SEs, Dirty 30, and of course DEA. Despite it’s name the game format to me has always been a WWII combat simulator – Air, Land, and Sea. There’s more to the ground game now then the average player realizes. Funny, I never hear the Ground Pounders picking on the Flyboys – it’s always the other way around.

Gateway 700 Series Desktop Loaded - $2,750
Optonline Account - $40 a Month
CH Products Joystick - $105
CH Products Throttle - $105
Aces High Account - $15 a Month
Putting a 75mm round (with your Panzer) in the cockpit of some fighter jock that just tried to bomb you and watching him cry on 200 Channel – PRICELESS.

Anyways – welcome to the forum JMFJ.
