POTW seem fine to me.... nice guys. There is one guy 1BDSPADE, who throws a whining fit each time I shoot him down. I think I've killed him twice recently and he blew his O-ring both times.

Thank you Steve.  Never mind Spade, he was probably having a crappy night, as we all do at times!  LOL

No thank you. If it wasn't for guys like you, This would be a very boring game for me. AH needs guys that are willing to take a horde up to 20K on a "Fighter Sweep" when the fight is in the weeds. So thank you, and your squad for providing me with a endless dose of entertainment as I'm shooting all of you down.

funny...i flew in mw with waystin, and a couple of his guys. wanna guess where they were? right in the thick of the fight in the weeds.

might as well.  

I'm guessing we are talking about recent discussions involving how the game is played.  From those discussions, I didn't see anyone ever mention this was a flying/furballing game only.  Just some wanting it to be more of a combat game.  Meaning better fights, more fights, larger scale fights, and less base hording.  Reason and incentive to keep the bases you have.  Incentive to instead of going to where nobody is, you go to where the fight is.  I think a premier combat game should be focused more on the combat part, and less on the "I took a base with huge numbers, no one was there to defend, everyone was busy elsewhere, we traded one base for another base" part of the game.  You can't combat buildings and inanimate objects because they don't fight back.  Though oddly enough you can combat idea's.  So I would judge by the front page that this game is focusing on players fighting against each other with aircraft, vehicles, and navy elements.  I think it is also worth mentioning that nowhere on the front page does it say anything about a war, much less refer to anything about winning a war.

When you have large hordes, and people openly stating and bragging that the idea and focus of their efforts are to avoid fights at all costs, take bases with little to no combat I'm thinking we are not where we need to be.  I for one enjoy the good large scale fights....when I can find them.  Often I log on, look around, and I just don't see the combat I'm looking for.  I see a huge red bar, small green bar at one field...huge green dar, small red dar at another field.  Granted once in awhile there are some great fights, but in a game about combat, I would expect to see this a more of a norm.  No reason why strat guys, fighter jocks, and gv heads can't all share the same air/ground space, with all elements of gameplay being shared.

I don't know where HTC wants to go with AHII, but I tell you, the sky is the limit. If they wanted to work to make this a broader WWII simulator in conjunction with CT, I don't think it would hurt their business.

Thank-you to the HTC team for embracing the American principle of censorship of anything potentially offensive. Thank God no more AHers will be killed or maimed by internet rudeness.

Make no mistake, I disagree vehemently with one policy, but the HTC team has still created The Best Game Ever. (tm)  :aok

When I first joined AH I believe it was advertised as the Premier WWII Dogfighting experience.  Now the homepage says it is the Premier WWII Combat Experience (note Attached AH front page pic).  Nowhere do I see HTC saying that this is a sim for Air combat only, and yet there are those that state consistently it is a dogfighting sim only.  Further, it has been stated that all other non dogfighting activities in AH are for creating air combat situations.

Is it really all about just dogfighting or has HTC moved on to a broader embrace of WWII combat?


It's that way because somewhere in these boards Hitech said so in as many words.
