Realism in the MAs will kill AH.

This "realism" is not enforced on anyone. And I'm having played many hours since the change, and most of the time less than 5% (if even that many) are playing the new "high alt strat game". Right now I'm online for about 2 hours in LWO, and no raid on the rook strats has happened at all during the whole time.
AH still gives you the same choices you always had regarding playing style. Heck, you even get less points for bombing a strat city than bombing any undefended airbase town...

It may eventually. Once folks get their fill of boredom. Which from the posts I am seeing should be soon.

Realism in the MAs will kill AH. Reality was hours upon hours of pure unabated boredom followed by shear excitement for short periods. That is not what most people look for in a flight combat game.



There is no such thing as boredom when you have such an amazing group of friends as my squad. We did a 2 hour mission to bomb a city tonight and we were wetting outselves laughing and bantering the whole way there and back. The 25 minutes of abject terror in combat was also fantastic.

It's not about what you do, it's who you do it with.

Why not get TS and not use Ah if it's that good.

My squaddies don't understand english.

He probably came from Il2.

I tried to kick myself out of the 80th and they took my boots.

Now my horse won't let me get near her, she gets all nervous.... I'm thinking it's the bare feet. You see Mensa goes around barefooted and spends a lot of time with our animals.

speak for yourself... Most people will get bored and leave after a few months of furballing. Its nice to mix it up alittle. the more gameplay options the better.

 :huh

Confusing man. The game is why we are all friends here and we enjoy all the facets of the game while having a bloody good laugh with each other. I don't see why you got such a large bee up your butt about it to be honest. You doubt that just because I enjoy a long range mission once in a while that I don't know the value of a good 1 on 1 or furball?  Why don't you come along on our next squad mission, you're always welcome if you have no one to enjoy the game with at any time. Sure you could try your hardest to make it boring but I doubt you could last 10 minutes before you starting having fun again.

S!

I haven't been on in a long time.  I was thinking of trying to do a Ki-67 mission, escorted by Ki-84s, at about 20,000-22,000ft to the city.

Our squad was having a little fun mixing it up down low with some smack-talkers when word came in that finally the knights were attacking our HQ and strats. It turned out to be seventeen bomber formations followed up with a dozen or so more and at least twenty-five escorts (including a P-40 believe it or not). The most often heard comment on the radio was: WOW! Followed closely by: this is awesome man!

On large maps you will get slaughtered, unless you catch the opposition at an unaware moment. During last days, the usual  altitude has been around 30k, with B17s up to 33 and escorts/interceptors up to The only successful bigger raid that I have seen below that altitudes was a 20-23k Arado 234 mission.
