Still like the changes?

[JunkyII]

I like how new tactics are be used finally, was getting quite old with only huge buff missions and NOE missions all the time.

Flew again yesterday, and I have to say, Yes, I definitely like the new changes.   Yesterday mid afternoon EST it was a little harder to find a fight than on Friday night (other than the huge furball at the top of the map that we were playing on, which I avoided for the most part) as there was enough activity to keep me engaged elsewhere on the map for the 3 or 4 sorties I had time for.

While it's been more the case that time constraints have kept me from flying than it was that my interest in the game was lagging, struggling to find a reasonable place to engage if I do have only time for one sortie made it more aggravation than it was worth much of the time.

I no longer feel as though that is a constraint.

[Yeager]

You didn't answer my question though

If a player likes to have to fight enemy to capture a field, are they furballers?

:::::::::raising hand::::::::: (in a Arnold Horshack Voice)  Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh i know, No your not a furballer, Actually your just a player having fun  ( well i hope you are) isn't that what this game is about? I've been around long enough now and have seen this game go thru cycles, the only thing that hasn't changed is the stupid classifications that people are put into with reguards to how they play( Noe's,The Horde©, Alt monkeys, bomb****s, milkrunners, furrballers, Spawncampers) I'm sure theres more but you get my meaning, without all of these "clicks" the game would not exist.

I like it more now.  I think it is more realistic.  I think it is more fun.  I think it is less frustrating. 

Yesterday our squad practiced killing and capturing a base.  We have generally, mostly run fighter sweeps in the past so we are all learining the nuances for base taking.  I was first to the base and flew NOE in a 110 to take out the dar, then go pound the city as my buddies arrived.  Noe was challenging but certainly not impossible, and it was fun.

I like it, reminds me more of the earlier years of Aces High when people flew against each other instead of against targets on the ground.

Yup.... amazing how many folks come to a game called aces high to play ground games.

methinks HTC really needs to reconsider the name.  Perhaps "World at War" would be a more fitting title

Nope... now go sit in the corner till you can play nice.

I'm missing the NOE's.....They were my source of entertainment...and frustration...I used to scour the map for a flashing base with nothing showing and have a look for the incoming NOE just to put a thorn in their side..sure there are still a few here and there..I have noted that some NOE's are tricky..having a couple of guys above the dar and when you meet them..whhooaaa...look at that 15-20 planes skimmin the water..big gulp and dive on in ....But I have also found the fights harder to find...people seem more reluctant to engage and actually change direction before in icon range to avoid a fight....Maybe I just need to fly a faster plane and run them down now

Before the changes I had taken to calling it Aces Hide. But now it is more Aces Can't fly past the edge of the radar coverage. That isn't nearly as catchy but my experience Sunday night was the following.

We would up, just a few of us, and fly to the enemy field and shoot down some planes. I won't fly in ack so we lurk a few miles away and eventually enemy aircraft will start to pour into the area from nearby fields. We would fight until we start getting low on fuel then we would do our standard egress under pressure.

As soon as we hit the edge of friendly radar coverage it acted like a great force field repelling all enemy fighters.

Made the egress pretty easy.

I'm still enjoying the changes.

A few of us did the same thing Saturday, but the Bish got tired of us shooting them down so they called in the HORDE and followed us all the way back to our base pounding the crap out of us till they were all dead...... then they moved on someplace else
