UBER Plane for the elite ONLY !......I quit !!!

If I'm forced to fly a set of planes that’s different than some others in AH then I'll be canceling my account.  

I have no problem with putting the "top scores" names on a splash screen somewhere or rewarding them in some other fashion, be it t-shirts, hats, maybe even some free online time.  

My $30 a month is the same as everyone else’s and I better be able to fly any damn plane at ANY time (Historical Arena excluded).

If someone is concerned about his or her score,  (and many are) it's fine with me.  You play the game the way you want to and I'll play the game the way I want. I gave up on caring about my score some time ago and I have a much better time in AH now.

If the idea is to give a person that truly does care about their score a chance to fly an even better plane, it's like giving massive tax cuts to the rich and raising taxes for everyone else!  

I'd also think this would promote cheating more (killing friend’s etc.) Pilot sends a private message to his friend on a different country "Hey man I'm tired of the Me262 go to 9,10,5 and I'm on the deck hiding.. come kill me so you can have the plane I need to go” Then only the people that are friends with the "elite scoring players" would get the elite planes.

I'm confident HiTech has thought this through and would never get his company into this mess.

To clarify: I like the idea of rewarding players that care about their scores but NOT by giving even more advantages.

Can you see the possible headlines and the potential free advertising?  "Online Air Combat simulation community donated $$$$$ dollars to [insert large international charity here].  HiTech Creations founder, Doug Balmos, announced the donation at the first annual convention for the Aces High online community......"

Now this idea I like!

i'm in if i could buy this Lipisch for 2000 points! heh  

 

German aircraft designers at the end of WW2 were coming up with some amazing designs . Many of these designers were later used by both the Russians , Americans , English and even Australia. Many of these designs were way ahead of their time whilst others were dead ends.

Dr. Alexander Lippisch designed this ramjet-powered interceptor in late 1944. Much of the research came from his work on the DM-1 test glider. The wings were sharply swept back at 60 degrees and there was a single large fin and rudder in which the cockpit was located. The ramjet was fed by a circular intake that protruded from the nose and exhausted beneath the vertical fin at the rear. A liquid fueled rocket motor was planned for takeoff and to get the aircraft to ramjet operating speed. Since fuel was in short supply powdered coal was to be used in the ramjet.

Dimensions: 6.70m x 6m x 3.25m
Weight:     2.300 kg
Propulsion: Ramjet
Speed:      1240 km/h
MaxSpeed:   1650 km/h
Armament:   2 Can MK108 30 mm

I just want to be able to change out my ammo load, and get rid of those useless tracers.   HT, tell me the tracers don't count as AP rounds. ???

I can't wait to try it.  I think it's great that they are creating an innovative way to work these "unbalancing" planes into the game.

How aboout this. At the beginning of TOD everyone gets the uber plane. The not so very good pilots will be shot down sooner than the good pilots. So at the end of TOD the "good" pilots will still have their uberplane. Kind of like the last man still flying wins the right to finish TOD with the shiney new ride.

Strange...

I'm paying my bills and then you say I can't get what I'm paying for ?

[Vulcan]

So if I shoot down a Hawg with my bow and arrow do I get an F-22?

[Minotaur]

LOL  

Whew!  Did not think I would ever get to fly one anyways.

If this is a way to work very late planes into the game then it seems like a very lame way to get around a rolling plane set.   custom built for resentment.   How do we then work in early war planes?   I shudder to think.

Still, the amount of pain caused by this idea will be directly proportional to the amount of people given this unfair advantage.   If it is only one and his icon is blue... That would be one thing.... If it is the top 20% or whoever reaches a cetain score level, or, a random number, that would be quite another.

To sum it up, I don't want to be killed (or even watch out for) a bunch of uber planes.  I also have no interest in killing other planes with an Uber plane that is not on the plane choice list for everyone.  

Seems sorta like rewarding a very good heavyweight boxer by letting him box middleweights.

Just image somebody in Everquest saying:
My $10 a montha is the same as everyone else's, why that guy over there have kick bellybutton character and i'm begining with my poor lvl 1. I want lvl 50 now or i quit.
Sount stupid , no?

[Staga]

I can't see any reason why this game should be compared to Everquest ?

Naaah...  Maybe too many bottles of beer  

[Missile]

Hmmm...Contribute the money raised to a worthy cause.  I like it..... BTW, I am starting a half-way home for wayward women that don't want to go all the way.....will this count???

When you get a ticket to a movie theatre, its for one move, not all 16 all day long.

I think this idea will be an excellent motivator to improve ones flying skills and SA.
