There appear to be a few people who've become the voice of the Aces High subscribers. I'm glad that those chosen few can speak for the majority. It's good to know that everybody hates the changes and that they've elected you to voice their opinions.
That's bull.
I've read through both threads and I see those that hate the change use one tactic after another to try to get their way, from spouting economic ruin/ business suicide to complaining about squad trimming to flaming HTC for the plane sets to polling public opinion. And now I see that I apparently hate this change because I loose the ability to find the kind of game play I want because the MA has disappeared.
That too is bull.
What I'm reading here is 20-30 individuals throwing temper tantrums, some of whom have decided that they're going to spend their $15 on something else.
Bye.
But you won't go. Or if you do go, you'll be replaced. Either way, my game play hasn't changed.
You are a subscriber, paying for a service provided. If the service doesn't meet your expectations or you are dissatisfied, stop subscribing. I honestly doubt you're going to change anything. It's not for you to make decisions or dictate service.

I love the change. Why? Pick one reason from any one of the multitudes who like the changes. I like them all.
I think it's fantastic that I can fly my Zero or Spit-IX or TBM against other early war aircraft, get into a tangle or three and not worry about being cherry picked by some B-n-Z'n LA-7 or P-51 or N1K1 or Spit-XVI. What I thought sucked about the old arena was that to survive, I had to up the same rides. I don't like those planes.
I'm very satisfied with the new setup...
