A look at our game, a suggestion
« on: July 15, 2008, 05:49:17 PM »
Aces high II is advertised as the best WWII FLIGHT ONLINE simulator on the market, well this is very true, but however why is everything so good when in fact the number one thing this game is about, is completly ignored. All planes are mixed, with fictional countries, and a fictional war. Yes there is a designated arena for this, but however this arena is not really in use except for special events. Shouldnt it be the other way around? The arenas have locked country planes to the actual corrisponding country, and these arenas become the new 3 main arenas. and the special events have the mixed planes with fictional countries? Its hard to get into a WWII COMBAT SIM when only the planes are being simulated and while the core of the game, the actual war, is totaly FUBAR

Well we all know that the CT probably wont be out for a long time, so in mean time (the next decade) lets do something about the game

This game has never been about recreating World War II.  The game is designed around aerial dogfights using the planes from World War II.  There is a difference, one that I wish a lot that play this game will eventually learn.

+1.  No game is perfect, but this game is a ton of fun just the way it is.

This maybe so, but however we all know countless vets of AH have left because of the game being nothing new...its always the same thing everyday and night, no substance to the game really


If i wanted to play a flight combat sim i would play, CFS3 or some other game...i play this for the competition of actually fighting for a country of hundreds of people and trying to win a war

This is a wide brush...  But I'm fairly certain you have a skewed view as to why so many of the vets have left...  Or at least the ones people remember/talk about.

Well, I know countless "vets" that still enjoy the game....after many years. The game is loaded with substance...it's the players that are lacking. :D

Ok, so play CFS3. What you are asking for has never been the "end all, be all" of this game. The MA game was never designed to be a simulation of WW2. If you want to see just how well your idea would fly on a nightly basis...check at the AvA (no offense to the AvA guys). The demand for what you ask for is limited...at best.

     Yeah, we probably should change the game because someone is burned out after
25 months  :rolleyes:

     Come to think of it, what exactly constitutes a "vet"?
