Disappointed Customer

[jimson]

The way I took the announcement was that they are going to incorporate some of the CT elements into the game and that by updating the game itself, CT elements will be tested and developed that way rather than as a stand alone project.

Makes sense to me. Putting some of the CT ideas into the scenarios and snapshots might actually help the eventual development of CT.

I'd like to see the Combat Tour BB changed to "On The Table", Or "Work In Progress"

It would be great to have a once a month progress report of a new plane, GV, or terrain tile, so we would see that something is going on. We all know that HTC is working, but even seeing a post is something to stay excited about, as opposed to months of nothing.

Once it's posted lock the thread, since someone is bound to complain about whatever they do anyway.

At the end of the month, or however long it takes, they could give us a game update, implementing the item into the game.

I personally would rather get a new plane as soon as it's done, as opposed to having to wait for 3 or 4, but I'm impatient.

There are probably things that they want to keep secret, to protect there intellectual property, but for planes and that sort of thing, i think it would be great.

Edit: I'm not disappointed, i just like staying in the loop.

Though I was disappointed that CT ain't gonna happen, I was expecting it.  The lack of screenshots or news posts concerning it led me to believe it wasn't going to happen, though some members were in serious denial over it being so 'secret.'  Anyways, I kept playing the game because the way it is, not what it could be down the road.  If I did the latter, I wouldn't be throwing my $15 at it and I would resubscribe when CT did come out.

What in the world is it that has people convinced that all WWII fighters handled like unstable death-traps? AHII airplanes will certainly stall/spin and put you into the ground if you push them too far.

Planes were never as touchy as they are (Default) in the game. You had more play in the stick, tough so to speak. Panos, you can dampin the controls to get that tough feeling I believe...

[Shuffler]

I think HT and Pyro are doing an outstanding job. It's not hard to see that they have been overstretched in trying to get CT out. For anyone to complain about it is on the BBS is immature IMHO. If you have a beef with HT then email them. They have great Customer Service. You have to contact them to see that... of course you just make blatantly mistaken claims instead.

[brad13]

I would have to agree with the IN part! 

[morfiend]

It's not dead, they just said they don't have the resources to finish it at this point.  
I personaly don't care about the lack of development news and don't see what the big freakin deal is.  The only thing I don't like is having so few additions to the planeset anymore, and having news (or not) about what they're working on makes no difference with that.  Everyone who's played the game and has pays a minimum of attention will know that HTC work their butt off on whatever it is they're doing.

  I couldn't agree more!! CT isn't gone entirely and given the resources that are required to push it forward I'd say HTC has made a tough decision.Are some going to be disappointed,sure,will the game improve,yes. I think if everyone just sits back and waits awhile,we're sure to see plenty implented.I mean who doesn't want to see more new planes,better graphics,ect.I'm almost positive the decision was made to shelve CT,for now,so more attention could be paid to these upgrades...
  How many are going to complain when their most requested plane is added??

[Ack-Ack]

you cant talk to drones.....


<<S>>

AW used to have drone C-47s flying in supplies to damaged bases and factories.  Every once in awhile, you'd see players that just shot down one of these drones get up on open channel and start taunting the drone without realizing it wasn't a player but AI.


ack-ack

People have been hanging on for ct for years , we have beem asking for updates to be told   wind yer neck in ...
Im sorry if this isnt the fan boy line but i feel that HTC has been stringing us along for a few years on ct , so now that they have dumped it , why will things in the future be any different?
If however they seem fit to let us the paying customer know what is going on ..well then thats a different story ......just my tuppence ....

I dont understand why you all dont know how much of a failure CT would have been.

There is not a single flight sim, where you cannot do exactly* what CT would have allowed you to do.
You would take up a plane spot, and be auto flown to a combat area, THEN you would encounter a little combat,THEN be instantly back on the field again.


If you want to know how CT would have been, just fly a offline mission. Period.



Stail like 3 year old bread right out of the oven, and HTC can see this, and so could all the beta testers.
So heaven forbid THEY know whats going on more than someone with no clue.

[The Fugitive]

I'd like somebody to point me to a place where HTC said they "promised" CT. They announced a new game that they where going to build. Unfortunately they ran into problems and resource issues so they have put it on the back burner and will concentrate on tweaking AH2. And so they are taking crap for shelving a work in progress...... and people wonder why they don't announce stuff more often. Maybe its because should they run into problems they have to put up with all the crying!

"replace one worry with another"

[MajIssue]

people would show you a little more respect if you didn't post with a shade.

More focus on the game we all play is very much welcome in my eyes.  I'm sure Htc will make up for it IN no time.

Man up and post with your real gameid (if you have one). My guess is that you are a troll from "brand X' MMOG combat flight sim.

[pluck]

also, HT may be able to some features of CT and work them into AH.  All in all, I'm glad HTC is again focusing it's attention to the game at hand.  It will only improve the game we are playing now, don't see anything wrong with that.
