Anaxogoras is being sarcastic. Hope y'all caught that.

No, I am not.  I absolutely loved the RPS.  It was the only way to see the entire planeset get main arena time.  Combat tactics evolved with each aircraft addition.  Something new was going on every day.  :old:

 The only down side of this,other than the cryfest involved would be you would need a score card to see what planes are flying when. The FSO,Senario crowds would adapt well I would think,since we never know whats next anyway :x, but the perk farmers and the air quake types wouldnt take to well to it. Besides,the real gem of this game is doing what suits you. RPS would kill that.

I liked it too, but most did not.  I think most players than not are locked into only flying one, or a very narrow range, of aircraft.  I wouldn't be surprised if a significant number signed up just to fly, say, the P-51D.

The RPS was the most fun thing that ever happened to Warbirds 2.x. :bolt:

Warbirds was going strong for years after the introduction of the RPS, so the point you are trying to make doesn't hold up.

I loved it...  I flew lots of different aircraft over a three week period and it made me a better (virtual) pilot.

I also had good friends that quit because they couldn't fly the ONE plane they liked more than half the time.

Only reason I signed up for AW, WB and AH was to fly the P-38.   :D

If it worked so well in WB, why hasn't HiTech implemented it AH and why he dislikes it so much?

Because he has to cater to the lowest common denominator which pays his bills?  :D  Didn't you enjoy the whines, like "It's not fair!  The P-38 pilots get their plane for 80% of the tour!" :P

The problem was that one usually had to wait a week or so to fly the P-38F so for the most part, I never flew the first week or so until the F became available.

Ohhh you mean the majority of players who don't like rps.

That would make you in the minority. :neener:

Again RPS sucks and will kill this type of game.

Never mind, was going to bust your chops a bit, but rather wait for a better subject, like NOE's or Mega Squads.  Till Later.      :D

How do you really feel, Bronk?

I disagree.  There is a place for an RPS model in a WWII MMO flight sim.  Maybe not in Aces High.

That's the funny thing.  Some don't want to believe that others actually enjoy it and that there's enough of a market for it to be successful.  For now, there's plenty of Il-2 servers that offer rotating setups from all periods and fronts of the war, and they are doing quite well.  Many of these people would pay a monthly subscription fee for the same thing MMO.
