Coach has it nailed as usual. Like it or not its HT's sand box, and he runs it as he sees best. So its either stay and play, or get up and vote with your feet.
Whining accomplishes nothing.
In 6 years of AH I have yet to see HT back up, or undo any major change he's made. Once he's made up his mind its going to stay that way.
So I don't expect to ever see AH1 again or 1 main again. I don't expect to see the spit 16, or the la7 perked. GV;s are going to stay the way they are. I can either play the game thats here, or leave.
Well after thinking it over, looking at the alternatives, weighting the options.
Searching for a new diff flight sim. (which don't exist or are so arcade like as to be not even close) guess what.
I decided I'd rather be here than anywhere else.
Good luck on your own choices, cya up!
