Now didn't that feel good?  Didn't those backslaps, self-congratulations and declarations of how you are the greatest squad in the game mean so much more?  This will be good for you as you learn how to overcome obstacles and see the rewards of the fruits of your labors.

HTC has done their part to improve humanity.  I'm serious about that pizza...

This needs to be supplemented with this quote from JFK for all of the NOE whiners:

"There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills,
because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

You are making my point for me.  You are a Training Corp guy?

Yep, I'm also entitled to have an opinion. In the Training Arena, I don't have an opinion, I simply cover whatever the student wants to learn.

That said, in all my time in the Training Arena I've never been asked how to take a base nor have I been asked how to avoid radar.

Give new guys something to do. 

They can still attack bases, only now we see them coming.

The learning curve is worth it, in my opinion, because the game offers depth, and I love airplanes.  Some younger guys will not have the patience or attention span to put up all the hazing from the big egos on these boards.   

I think you'll find even the biggest egos in Aces High will drop whatever they are doing and help a new player if they ask them a question. Some will even go as far as taking them to the DA/TA and show them things as well. You don't have to be Trainer to help a new player.

to Ghost , who said

"Or, you can whine, and you see how much sympathy that gets you around here."

"I'll give you another one for free, quit complaining about toolshedders!"

Fisrt.

Nobody are whining.


Second

You don't give me properly NOTHING!
And becaefull to use this mafia leanguage with me or You will loose my respect for You!
(I cannot belive You did that, perhaps i read bad Your line. I hope for You.)


Third

If noe bombers could be the problem, then operate on they.

"Adapt, etc."  <--- i was not speaking about these.

To WMlute, who said:  "NOE Hoards do NOT promote combat."
                               "Yes this change promotes the combat element as it forces players to have to fight if they want that base"

Otherwise furballing gangbanging is a combat?
I spent a lot's of effort in defending field from any kind of attak, noe ones included.
So old style radar did not reduce combat element as You say.
For the rest, WMlute Your arguments seems to me a paralogism only.

I repeat. I post this not for a lak of skill (what skill can have You with a 65 fts noe alt settings!)   :joystick:
Last night, with new feature, i did well too. In 2 hours, I did not ho anybody
but many so-called aces ho me. except a p51 at 133 field, probably flown, by a loose deuce pilot.
Good guys, except Chewi!  :rofl
But i was very brb to do furball every time!


About HTC, is quite obviously that they can decide what they think better.
As to me they understimate very much that many players play for fun not for scoring
or to win the war. Their methods is quite buggy I said. Let's tray new feature in one
arena, and observe what happens would be better.

To Lusche, who said: "It wasn't the newbies that were running constant horde NOE's against constantly changing targets to avoid any opposition and to roll a map."

Where did You see this? At the cinemascope!

No, that was star wars film!

Lushe are You a teacher?    :D

Paralogism?

Nothing at all illogical with my line of reasoning.
(yes I had to look that up to be 100% on the definition.  good word.   :aok )


A furball is combat.  Not sure how you can consider it otherwise.

Having to fight to capture a field does promote combat.

Avoiding combat by flying NOE and swarming a field with a sneak attack does not.

I forgotted an important thing.
Any corrections to my english are welcome.

WMlute, as to me, You substain a thesis whit an hypothesis that is itself that thesis.

Furball is not the only kind of combat You had in AH and/or in WWII.

I'm not an expert but how Axis force arrived to Y-29?

Did they fly noe?

If so, one of the most celebrate air battle started from a noe attak!

A few simple thoughts.

1. Best way to win a war is to hit the enemy where they ain't.

2. Best way to have fun in a combat orientated game is to have combat.

3. Attacking undefended targets is not combat even though it is the best strategy to win.

4. This is a game and not work or war. Expecting some one to be on defense with no idea if a strike is coming is not a legitimate expectation.  Hence, you should defend your field is not a legitimate argument if it requires some one to do a very boring act with no guaranty of combat.

5. Defense now has more warning on a strike and time to organize a  defense, so now we are more likely to have an offense and defense playing against each other instead of 2 offenses playing by themselves.

Hence these changes have nothing to do with fur-ball vs tool shedding. But simply about putting offense and defense on a more = level.
