Well said PK1.
Nobody denies the technical 'improvements' of AH and ...what would I do without AH ?

I'd probably be vastly more insane than I am today..... BUT the satisfaction gained from an hour of AW is quite unreachable here. It used to be a constant laughing. When I got shot down I used to laugh. It's not just me. Today every1 is pissed, no1 talks friendly. We're all pissed off and I think it's because of the perks and ranking. If AH took that crap away it would be a HUGE improvement.
So what if a stuka could kick a spit's arse? What if a goon was impossible to kill if you were triying to dogfight it instead of BNZ it? I made friends over AW and I go to their weddings. Here people don't even chat. Too serious.
AH could be just as much fun if the testosterone was taken out of the equation.
We had the best time with a 110 that turned better than a PJ. It was an absoulte ball.
I used to pair with any newbie, me in a goon he in a fitter. I'd make the nme think they could kill my goon but drain all their E then the newbie would come in and get kill after kill. I nevew laughed that much in this game.
Another blast was a stuka duel. It would go for 30 mins. Those bb guns would take forever to kill any1 and in the mean time youd make really tight turns at 2 mph
To me THAT was fun. The only complaint i used to have was about the friggin discos!!!
I think this game could be made just as fun.
EA killed Kesmai.
Ranking and scoring kills AH....
Actually now that i think about it. H2H was closer to the AW fun than the MA. Why not reinstate H2H only for paying customers?
Fiat ( in Aw also Pazzo, Tuffo )
BTW, the above screenshots are from the early era. The last versions of AW were much better.
