Why not add???

[VERTEX]

With all the recent changes in TT there have been a number of suggestions on how to fix it.

Heres my solution.

A soldier running around with sticky bombs. No need to model, a new Gv or anti tank gun.

Just sneak up behind a tank place bomb and run away. You would be small and hard to see. Just like its hard to see a bailed pilot vulching planes with his .45.

We seem to be heading in the direction of a more comprehensive WWII battle simulator as opposed to the WWII Flight Simulator I signed up for 5 years ago.

So why not create a 1st person shooter with ground soldiers, artillery, anti tank guns etc etc etc.

With the large number of players in TT it seems thats what people want anyway.

Does anyone else remember the good old days when GV's were here to support the aerial combat portion of the game. When the goal was to capture bases, and win the war.

I believe the game is still called ACES HIGH, or did I miss the change to TANKERS LOW.

I started playing in '04 & I like all the changes save two; I absolutely hate the split up arenas & the in game stick set up from a version or two ago was a royal p.i.t.a.

 The split arenas wouldn't be bad if the caps were higher, I just hate signing in & finding one arena packed & unable to enter it while the others have only a few people in them. The in game stick settings that changed caused me problems because I was using Saiteks programming & I was forced to re-program my stick when I didn't want to. I got used to the stick programming changes & now I like it because I can adjust my stick in game if I want to change something, the split arenas otoh suck...hard. But I (& you) have options, if I (you) don't like the way the game is I'm (we're) free to quit paying for it & leave.

Very funny

What is it that bothers you?  The fact that a lot of people go to tank town for whatever reason not leaving enough outside of TT to fly and fight?

Actually I like TT a lot. Play there quite often. I just think Aces high has lost its focus, and has forgotten where it came from.

I would like to see less focus on making the game work for GVs and more focus on making the game work for air combat.

[Brenjen]

Can't we have both?

Not sure what you mean.

I am NOT saying aces should become a first person shooter, rather the opposite.

More Focus on making the game work for air Combat, not ground combat.
I think ground combat has been favored for at least a couple of years. ever since more detailed ground terrains have been introduced.

From the air it all looks flat anyway. I would much rather have boring ground and high frame rates in a fighter on the deck. Than ground that is interesting when in a GV and slower frame rates in a low alt fighter.

I like that idea. I like tank town, but I also like to win maps and see resets, and team work to win the maps.  Whether it be the rook, knits or Bish, I'm always impressed to see team work to take a base, or win a map.

The map with Tank Town comes and goes.  It's novelty and rareness is part of the appeal as well as a good source of vehicle perkies for buying Tigers later.

If a guy doesn't want to furball or take bases, eliminating tank town wouldn't force him to.  Subscriber activity is not a zero sum game.

When Tank Town is not available, the guys with the gv bent give me targets in my 110.  I enjoy that.  Sometimes I take gv's out.  I like the options available.

I do think a developed landwar would give the jabo pilots good targets as well as providing funding for further development.

 I have over 100 fps no matter what I'm doing or what setting I use or how many people are around me. Sounds like you just need a better machine.

How cool would that be? What other WW2 would you ever need to play then? I like the way your think.

[_mattsabs]

i have the belief that this game will evolve into something much larger over time.

WRONG!!!! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TECH IT TAKES TO SUPPORT ALL THIS WITHOUT MAJOR CRASHING????? Dont even start with all the bugs.... just imagine the noobs we got now please... you give them bombs... they will place em on runways and own your 262 when you spawn. This is a flight simulator. Until the future comes where computers can process that immense number of proportions, stats, and just basic physics, it will be chaos an unplayable game. The planes will go the way of the dinosaurs. But it would be different if hitech made a separate game which you could play on your aces high account. Now that would be very prosporous but never mix the two nope
