With games such as IL2 sat in the wings waiting to take your £130 a year paying gamers from you. Can you say in confidence that with all the opposition to this DAR change amongst the forums, is to change the MA for the better? For the perk collecting rank caring fighters, maybe..
IL2 has been out for a long time already, and it hasn't impacted AH since it's been around. Bad analogy.
Some squads quite clearly enjoy land grabbing war winning NOE missions, and some (one myself) like escorting these NOE missions. By taking such a drastic measure to 'impact' NOE missions and their game. Do you not feel that you might be gaining resentment from those players, as you've taken an enjoyable element out of the game?
The option to run a NOE mission or to escort said mission has not been taken away from you at all. You and your squadron can still run NOE missions and escort them. The only change is that now you have to actually 'fly' NOE missions and not just hit auto-level at 250ft and fly to the target.
As I mentioned in the reply to Sincraft, you fly NOE hord missions because it was the easiest way to an undefended base quickly without having to risk facing large opposition, or ideally (in your minds) none at all. Now that you have to work at it, you're crying how you can't NOE and milk run undefended bases anymore.
The way I see it, you and the others crying about it are nothing but selfish players. You didn't give a rat's bellybutton that your style of game play was having a negative impact on the over all game play of the main arena, as long as you were able to run your NOE hord missions, capture undefended bases and slap yourselves on the back for rolling as many bases you can in an hour. HiTech, seeing that there was an issue with the game play that these NOE missions were responsible for made the decision he felt was best for his game (and he was spot on with his resolution).
Is it not the responsibility for the opposing countries to formulate better tactics against NOE mission players, rather than just trying to make out they don't like a flight?
Is it not the responsibility of you and your "ilk" to learn to adapt to the new changes instead of crying about them on the forums like a petulant child having a temper tantrum because their mommy won't buy a candy bar for them?
Any one else get the feeling the Objective Squad Mission gamers are being punished?
Having the choice between new DAR and old DAR rooms is a good compromise. At least the forum would clear up for a while and there would be
No, and this statement is as ridiculous as the claims from a few years ago from the mega-squadrons that accused HiTech of being anti-squadron.
