Hangars and Ack Reupping

[waystin2]

Even if Mazz ate cornflakes, the likelihood of successfully aiming the urine stream out of one's vagina, from a standing position, and into a cereal bowl, on the floor, is slim. 

Besides, Mazz doesnt get angry!  He only adjusts his technique when it becomes clear to him that the poster in question is too stupid to realize he's being insulted with some class.   

PEE BRAIN!!! 

See?  Thats understood by your ilk, isnt it?  Homosexuality, urine and reproductive organs.  The things of which pigs are made.

Wow.  Did you miss your medications sir?  Awful lot of virtual anger built up there.  Have you made your point in this thread, if there is one?  I will continue to wait for some substance out of you Mazz, but it seems to me that you are a very little man with a whole lot of nothing important to say.

I read all of that as jocularity not anger.  Twit-chy probably did too.  Remember, this is all in good fun.  The man with the silent C-H-Y on the end of his name realizes that.

For god sakes man he used the V word!!!

I agree with you on the War winning requirements, but I think the increase of ack on the field is a huge factor, deacking is now just about impossible. Yeah it prevents the vulch fests that so many players were whining about, but upping from a field with enemy cons swarming over it was masochistic to begin with.

3 of us de-qacked a small airfield just a few days ago.

Now that right there is classy but then again it is coming from a child or at least I hope so

  I know this is a game and all, but to some it is more then that, those of us who spend time pretty much every single day out of our lives to come here IE be a cartoon pilot fighter, its like a person's favorite bar,or the place they go to hangout with there friends it becomes personal, heck I have been flying since 03/04 and don't see me ever leaving, (at least not until they make paper and coin money illegal) and there are people that have been here way longer then me.
 
To me suns it's "not in good fun" with these two anymore, people that have "runnith of the mouth disorder", and then cant back it up, and straight up lie about what happened in a particular situation and then refuse to acknowledge that they were wrong...and go out of there way to ruin others fun and then have the gonads to come in here and complain about a part of the game that "ruins their fun..."

 I am sick of these type of players,  (twitchy) straight up admitted to enjoying it when people complain about that, so what comes around goes around, I now have an official job in AH, I am now a pig hunter. and I will gleefully do my job to the utmost best of my ability, they are just lucky I don't have the targeting skillz of Grizz or Steve, if that was the case...

[twitchy]

Oh Ink, my heart's just all aflutter, and I'm trembling with fear. As to your "runnith of the mouth disorder", you're absolutely eat up with it yourself man, thread after thread, you do little else. Try xannax, it really help equalize your ritilin, and cut down on some of your superfulous anger. Of course if that doesn't work you could also try simply moving on with your life instead of wearing blisters on my ankles, it may difficult with your uh.. problems, but try to find some new friends because I'm tired of listening to you frankly, and in game, we're simply not that scared of you.

I don't have the targeting skillz of Grizz

I 'met' Grizz last night, it's a shame you don't have half the personality he does either.

<S> Grizz, it was a slow night, but we enjoyed it.

you're wasting your time on his ilk sir.

I would hope you are not "afraid" in game    seeings how now one really bleeds.
  to bad you don't have the attitude many of your squad mates do 

you're wasting your time on his ilk sir.

you are so correct 

I am done, Ignore list(someone said that recently I like the idea:-)

[twitchy]

you're wasting your time on his ilk sir.

I tried to tell him that myself. Yeah, he's wasting his time...or is he wasting mine?  

Anyways, back to the topic...
What about relegating the time it takes a hangar to reup completely to the resupply convoys or player hauled supplies?
If we take that convoy out, then make the hangars stay down longer for the attackers, or if a couple guys run some field supplies in then make the time it takes to reup quicker for the defenders. If we flatten a base, and kill the supply lines, who's left to rebuild all that stuff anyway, spawning buildings in enemy held territory wasn't all that common in WWII that I know of. Then of course if your base gets flattened, you can defend your supply lines like real pilots did sometimes, or escort a few runs of supplies in to the field to drop some.
Give us the strategic ability to get those hangars up quicker, or conversely supress their reup times, and presto, the war can be a war and the furballers can keep on furballing, the only difference would be a sense of balance to both sides of the issue.
I don't know, merely a suggestion from a war oriented player here, but ten minutes on a hangar? Hell it takes ten minutes to get a c47 out of visual range of it's home field lol.


And while I'm at, what if the troops we drop at the map room could be mannable, and carried guns, and explosives to take down a hangar or slap to the bottom of a spawn camping Tiger and we could run around with bayonets and machine guns and stick one another while fighting for the map room? I'm telling you guys, if Hitech acheived the same kind level of ground war that say WWII Online had, and still managed to keep it Aces High somehow, he could rule the universe with it.

Edit:
IN this context, I found this old quote from Dale Addink on IGN games to be intruiging...

"Aces High was originally launched in 2000 and since then we've made tremendous improvements and additions through 11 updates," says company CEO, Dale Addink. "It's now time for us to put our efforts into the 2nd generation of Aces High. Our goal is not just to improve the look and feel of the game but also to appeal to a wider audience...."

Yeah I know, two weeks... but you want a wider audience, give us some artillery to fire at the troops running up the hill, machine gun nests to grenade, and still keep the wonderful wonderful planes to straffe them with, and I'm tellin you guys, you would rule the war game sims universe. It would be a heck ofa game and I'm wondering if some of these Console games are going to beat you to it, they're close now with all of these COD and MOH games playable on the net.

They might as well just model clowns with flowers- if everyone avoids resistance whenever possible, there's no real point in cartoon weaponry of any sort. Who the heck plays a flight sim for ground combat anyway? There are already a number of games that emulate the infantry roles- why would HT try to sackride those when he's got a niche product?

Who's avoiding resistance? That's a crap stereotype, we're all playing a WAR GAME dude.
The answer to your other question is called tripling his market through some fairly simple additions to the game concepts, you hit all the plane guys and all the ground guys with an irresistable balanced combat sim, you're pretty well made. And we can still furball, cause Dale wouldn't do us wrong on the air war like some of those other games have.  

A niche is a small hole, yeah it's a great place to fit your genre in, and a niche is fine in a bull market when John Coffee has plenty o dough to play these games with. But if somebody hit em with a single game they can get all the war games in one, give em a good deal on it, they'd own the market right now.
Hell you could even model "Aces High 3022" with Warp Drive ships and grab the trekie's 14.95 too.
 
But the point of expaninding the game, now especially, IMO, is simply that we can't afford the two or three games anymore, at least I can't. Would be really awesome to have a game of Dale's design to fill the other niches.

If you're trying to use MW2 as an example of an addition HTC should implement in AH, apples and oranges.  Best try with a better example, considering most are buying MW2 for the single player campaign and not multiplayer and the majority of the sales of MW2 are console, not PC.  PC sales is lagging significantly behind console sales.


ack-ack

Who's avoiding resistance?

You are. Your initial request was for things to stay down longer because, after losing your goon on the first attempt, stuff started re-upping before a second goon, launched after the demise of the first, got there.

So we up in formation heavy, fly to an enemy field, deack and drop the VH and work the town over, we even bust the resupply convoy. Oops, the goon gets shot down, so we reup another goon and bring it back in. What do you know, the VH is back up and the Ack has popped in less time than it takes to return to the field.

That is all about allowing multiple attempts without having to keep defenses suppressed. That is, indeed, avoiding resistance; even if there was resistance during your initial assault.

You are asking for a change to the game to make up for bad luck, poor planning, or poor execution. There is no doubt a base can be taken with the current settings. Because you failed to do so is no reason to change those settings.

Hammer
