well, no, actually, i agree on the side switch part...but i can also see where that might cause intelligence issues.

I say Side switching is Horrible.  Let us Choose our Country at the beginning of a Tour or at every new start of a map. Then thats it your stuck with your choice no matter what. Fight for the reset or Live with your own demise and Choice.  It is an intelligence issue it sucks to know you have some people that change to another side before they log off for the night. Then Return 2morrow to make notes of where things are such as CV's Missions then Change sides and go on a STATS padding Venture. It is weak and very Unhonorable to do this but im sorry it happens QUITE frequently.

A) Never played AW which had the best communtiy I've ever seen.

B) Are poopy heads.

someone has a different opinium to you and they are poopy heads?

please.


200 player cap = milk runners heaven...... so many undefended bases its great, not to mention euro game play time when theres a max of 60 people online, divided by 3 arenas and 3 sides, its a very very sad idea of a multiplayer game when you cant FIND anyone

HT and Company:

Finally got my stick working. Just flew EW.

All I can say is THANK YOU!

Ok...have my first complaint. Flew LW for 1st time tonite...P47N's nmy is same as LA7?--4 kills = 1.6 perks with Rooks outnumbed 100+ to 70+ to 60somethin. Aside from that, does it seem like lethality is lessened in EW? Bursts from 6-.50 cal planes just dont take down stuff like they would in MA--I assume a Browning 50 in 1942 is same as 1945?

Hey Pyro, I almost never post.  Maybe you will listen to a calmer voice.  You got to put it back man.  The squads never fly together.  When we do fly the eny keeps us from upping the planes we want.  I can't get into late war so I have to log into Late2 with 20 guys and no squaddies.  Here's what you forgot. You have invented and you own.... darts.  The game is something I do to log on at nite and hang with my buds.  You have a chatroom with something to do.  And now you have limited it.  Yeah, it may have been in your words a stagnant slum, but it was ours.  Please , put it back.  Here's the deal.  There were no T34's in early war.  Make some Crusaders and Lee/Grants and He111's.  Turn Midwar back into the MA with limits of 750.  Keep late war but make it Korea with Yak's with 23mm's, F8 Bearcats, Mig 15's, F86's and B29's.  You won't be able to spend all the profit! - Pliss

.50's on the Wildcat seemed to work normally in EW.

[hubsonfire]

Toad lies. EW lethality changes at random so that the disgruntled LW crowd will have something else to freak out about.

[yanksfan]

Wow, ript327 put in words what i have been hearing all over the ma, um,LW, i hate even saying LW, give em what they want,take the limits off the LW, fix the eny,stop trying to tell me this is good when it is no fun anymore, i'll bet i haven't played more then 3 hours total since this change, the maps are boring, the game is boring without large numbers, the reason the ma,ummmpppffff Lw is always full is thats what most people want, face it, fix it!

Calmer huh?

Just out of curiosity: no one is posting about an early war arena with 190A-5, Spitfire IX and P-38 in the planeset. Nothing weird for you?

Our early war arena suffers from two things: a lack of 1940-41 aircraft and, paradoxically, "only" 3 arenas. If we had a 4th arena and enuff aircraft we could have a decent 1940-41 plane set: I mean from the Battle of France, thru the Battle of Britain to the 1941 clash over South England, western France, North Africa and early Pacific. Now, if I do manage to enter the EWA and find Spitfires IX and 190A-5 (even highly perked) with no free 109G-2 I say to myself: WTF, this is worst than Warbirds' RPS!

And no, I dont want a 4th arena. A Main, an AvA, a Duel and regular scenarios were enuff, IMHO. I was just pointing out how our planeset was not ready for such a change.  

Another thing: 3 years waiting for the real TOD and what I found back from holidays? A weird 3 capped little mains, with ENY, system.

The danger for the future of AH2 is much more higher in this new system than in the old Main, regularly held scenarios, the TOD (is still there and alive?), the AvA, the Duel, a complete plane set and the new much needed graphics for many a/c. All things *needed* and (for the most part) *promised*.

What I dont understand is if this new system is a stop gap, a weak tentative, or a permanent solution to the lack of resources for new planes, graphics and TOD.

OK HTC I say you need to FIX this Crap Or I and im sure a Good chunk of others WILL TAKE THEIR SCATTAGORIES and Play Somewhere Else!  I Pay just like everyone else, WHY CANT I GET INTO the Arena I would like to Join.  I dont want to go fly in the Early Arena cuz I dont want to SEE 100 Hurricaines flyin around. I dont want to fly in Mid Arena cuz there are only 50 people on.  I want into the Late arena 1  Obviously because its just like MA except it can only HOld 250 players but...........Of course it is maxed out and can't get in and Low and behold when you try and join it ,, it says HOST CONNECTION Loss and CLoses out the GAME how GAY is that?
And I dont want to fly in Late Arena 2 cuz why again 50 players BORING!!!!
I have been playing this game faithfully EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR 2yrs now.  This is the Worst thing I have seen done to this AWESOME GAME> Please keep reading that was my VENT! Now on with some points and Measures/

But Since this new Format I see a decrease in the number of players by atleast  150 players this cant be good for business.  The majority of Players want to fly in an arena where all available planes are available. The numbers in the Late arena PROVE That! why Sacrifice the the Majority for 150 subscribers that want to fly their little slow no killin give me assists planes.  What happend to the dayz of MAJORITY RULES is this a thing of the past?  

On another note I found it to be very discouraging to enter the Mid arena just for the TT map.  To get in there after the first time I was killed I get a minimum 10 eny And I cant even Up a Panzer so I have to up a t34 which of course doesnt stand a chance against the 3 panzers and 5 tigers we are up against. then I finally get panzer back for a few kills then another death low and behold a minimum of 20 ENY  there were less than 60 people in the arena we had 28, knits had 17 and bish had 21 we were the only ones with ENY cap. WTF is that!  I Play This game for a good time If I wanted put up with a bunch of hassle and discouragement I would be in the living ROOM with my WIFE But on a serious note I dont want to Leave this GAME cuz im addicted to it and I enjoy hangin out with Online buddies.  Now had this been a Free game Then I would feel like I have no say in what happens to it.  But WE the Paying Customers whatever the cost .50 cents per day or 50 dollars a day we are still paying customers.  Customer Service is my Occupation by choice.  And as far as I can see Saying This is for the greater Good of "OUR" HTC  Game we dont care if we lose one veteren to 5 Newbs that is not Customer Service..Who do you think brings in the Newbs I bet its safe to Say its the Vets Talking to there Freinds...  Yes Games Evolve Yes Some cant handle Change Yes Change is Good but not when it Discourages or Aggravates We are People just tryin to have a good time.  If people want to fly Old planes against Old planes let them do it on another server but why Sacrifice the Majority of the Other playes that dont care about What year a Plane was Used  MOST of us dont just fly one plane day in and Day out.  Alot of us might fly a Hurricaine one minute then jump in a Niki or a Zeke the next etc etc.  We just want an action packed game that gives a thrill a minute and challenges us in all directions.  A good virtual pilot will adapt and overcome disadvantages whether  it be me flyin an A6m against an La 7 I live for those moments when I get to Kill that la7 with my Zeke and brag about it to my Friends.

   All in all this is still the best Flyin  game on the NET.  However there really needs to be some reconsideration of the Latest Changes.  I say Screw the Jury and Listen to the PEOPLE!

LOL!!! When will you guys learn???? "I'm going to take my $15 and go someplace else" Please do !!! jeez all the whining and complaining! I can understand you not likeing the changes, but a simple "I agree with xxxxx" is enough.

I havn't seen this huge number drop your talking about. There is still the same 400-500 people on when I log on. Of course if your getting other information 999 is going to be upset

If you love this game, are addicted to it as you say, then learn to adapt, find the fun in what you have. Your only other choice is to leave. Decide, and stop whining about it. Like Niki says "Just do it!"

Late war doesnt suck now, but they have lowerd the total number of players allowed, really dont see how this helps anybody, sure early war is a nice distraction, what I have seen is that my country cant raise enough planes to either stop the other teams from getting a base, or capture a base...ive got a great idea though, two words, ROLLING PLANESET, devide the months into thirds and allow only that era's planes.........geez im a brainy one.

JEEBUS!!! I guess we aren't allowed to have humor anymore??? Overlag I think you need to take a couple of deep breathes bud. Do you really think I would call someone a "poopy head" as a true insult? I have a much better vocabulary than that such as frog kisser!

Maybe it's the fact I forgot the smiley so here it is: . Just pretend that's in my other post.

Or in otherwords....

If you don't agree with me... and voice a different opinion.... then your opinion or request is nothing more than a whine.
