A ww2 flight game such as this is a small niche in the game world . EA wasn't getting enough $$$ from AW so they pulled the plug.
Amen to the first sentiment. Selling things rarely seems to do anything but lead to their demise or decrease in quality.
Thank you for refreshing my memory on what happened to AW. I think I read that somewhere.
Didn't AW have fewer players than AH?
Anyway my point was/is, these are two different examples of the same genre. By this I’m trying to point out that what worked in one may have done so because of the different targets available, a different strategy system, etc. You can't just say the bomber mode used in AW (bombers loaded with a bunch of live players at different stations throughout the bomber) will work in AH because it worked in AW. Unless settings and strategy targets were changed dramatically in AH, making the changes some have suggested would essentially eliminate the bombers as anything but a novelty side act. Nobody would fly them. It wouldn't be worth it. Even as things stand there aren't a lot of bombers in the air compared to fighters or even gv's.
